BURNED IN TRACTOR FIRE AT GODERICH John McMillan, 65, Goderich Township, was in "critical" con- dition. in Alexandra Hospital, Goderich, following severe burns and ,other injuries suffered Tues- day when the tractor he was driving plunged down a ' 23 -foot embankment, pinned him under- neath and burst into flame. Hospital officials said he in- curred severe arm, leg, side and beck burns and was suffering from severe shock. McMillan was operating a Mat- ter at Maitland golf course, God- erich, at the time of the acci- dent. He was removing earth from the course with a trailer and dumping it into the 1Vfaitland River. Police reported McMillan had backed the trailer up to the edge of the' river bank and believed its weight had pulled the tractor over the edge, Frank Reid, golf pro, who was assisting McMillan, said the trac- tor fell "crazily" over the bank, dropped -23 feet to shelf over- hanging the river and pinned McMillan underneath. Police said the tractor's sedi- ment bowl broke and sprayed gasoline over the red-hot mani- fold where it burst into flame. Reid immediately phoned the Goderich fire department which arrived ,on the scene a few min- utes' tliater to exitinguish the blaze. Onlookers said M;eMillan was conscious throughout and. cried out in "agonizing pain," His clothing were entirely burned off. As soon as the flames had been extinguished a wrecker pulled the tractor off McMillan. FALL WHEAT CUTTING JUST ABOUT DONE "Fall what cutting ie almost com- pleted," G. W.

Wednesday. 32-b Establish Mobile Clock, Fan Depot Standardization of frequency at 60 cycles which commenced in Clinton and surrounding districts last week, is now scheduled for completion August 30. In announcing this, Ontario Hydro Chairman - Robert H. Saunders claimed that this is some weeks ahead of the originally scheduled completion date in October. - Changing over the frequency sensitive appliances of more than 1,500 customers is progressing in the Clinton Rural Operating Area served by the Clinton Distribut- ing Station, . This station serves an area cov- ering a circle approximately six miles in radius and including Bayfield, Colborne, Tuckersmith, Stanley Township and parts of Goderich Township. Following the Changeover in these districts, Hydratechnicians will proceed with standardizing the equipment of 950 customers of' the Clinton Public Utilities Com- mission, and 950 customers of the Clinton R,O.A.'s Goderich Rural Stettin, which serves an area im- mediately surrounding Goderich. 4,500 Affected Almost 4,500 customers are af- fected by this changeover work, - including more than 4,000 domes- tic, 340 commercial and 28 power customers. Estimates reveal that some 3,700 washing machines, 2,500 re -1 frigerators and over 1,600 phono- graphs owned by domestic cust- omers, will be altered for opera- tion at 60 cycles. This is in ad- dition to nearly 3,000 electric! clocks and 900 fans which will' either be standardized or exchang- ed for new models. Miscellaneous frequency sensi- tive items owned by domestic customers bring the total num- bar to be changed over to ap- proximately 16,000. "Cutover" Day On the morning of "cutover" day, the 25 -cycle power is cut off and Hydro technicians call at homes and other premises to en- sure that all frequency sensitive appliances are disconnected, The importance of someone' be- ing at home on "cutover" day was emphasized by Mr. Saunders. If the occupant is not available, a lineman has to be dispatched to cut off service in order to pro-' tect the frequency sensitive equipment from damage when 60 - cycle power . is supplied to the premises. It also is helpful to standard- ization crews if customers defrost their refrigerators on the even- ing before "cutover," as this fa- cilitates changeover operations. Power is generally reconnected at the new cycle in a matter of thirty minutes. Following this, new parts, which have been care- fully tagged and stored for each individual customer's equipment, are fitted by Hydro's standard- t ization technicians. Goderich Changeover Changeover work in Goderich is now scheduled to commence on September 19, and by early Oc- tober it is anticipated that 1,730 n domestic, 330 commercial and 40 power customers of the Goderich Public Utilities Commission will g be operating t h e i r electrical b equipment at 60,,cyeles, Chairman p Saunders added. - Section Standardized b The rural area south and east of hayfield including villages of Varna, Blake, St. Joseph, and Drysdale, was standardized Inst week to 60 -cycle power. a Mobile Depot A mobile clock and fan depot is to be operated in Clinton by ! Ontario Hydro as a special fre- quency standardization service to c Hydra customers. The depot, which will open Ib August 16, will be located on On n tario Street, opposite the Bank of Montreal, Clinton, and will 3 be in service for approximately five weeks. - - Domestic customers affected by Frequency Standardization may bring to the depot electric clocks up to 15 inches and fans up to ten inches in diameter. Larger models are changed over in the home by Hydro technicians. Customers will be able to sel- ect from a wide variety of mod- ern designs of 60 -cycle docks and fans by paying an exchange price, or choose from a special group of models on a no -charge basis. "If they wish to retain their present clocks and fans and these can be changed over for 60 -cycle operation,' they may do so with - true charge," Chairman IL H. Saunders stated. The depot will be open Mon- ey to Friday nom 8.30 a.m, to 5 p.m., with the exception of Tuesday evenings when it will be open until 9 p.m. Some 1,500 customers in the Clinton Rural Operating Area and approximately 950 served by the 'Clinton Public Utilities Com- mission, will be able to obtain service from this mobile unit, Vacations Planned Ontario Hydro's Frequency Standardization Program in the 25 -cycle areas of Southern On- tario will be temporarily inter- rupted from Monday, August 6, to Monday, August 13, inclusive, to permit Hydro and Canadian Comstock personnel to take an- nual vacations. A small staff will remain on duty during the vacation period and customers in need of emerg- ency service in connection with - the changeover are asked to tele- phone the Frequency Standardiza- tion Division office in the area.
