Getting Ready For The Nazis Ten telephone wires serving Wing - ham and rural points were severed 1 near Clinton, on No. S highway, about' 9 o'clock last Friday morning and telephone officials attribute the sev- ering to an eirplane, a hit-and-run' aviator. The actual impact was not witnessed, but farmers "report seeing a 'plane in the neighborhood both be- fore and after the• accident. The re- coil of the =wires was such that they wound themselves around the posts at either end, There was no crash, of course, but aviators state that this same thing is not unusual. The wir- er were about twenty-four feet high and after listening to some farmers in Huron 'county discourse on the ex- ploits of aur budding aviators it seems that twenty-four feet is not an unusually "low altitude at which to fly. One Colborne farmer says a pilot in a'p.lane the other day chased one of his steers up and down a ten - acre field•until the animal quit ex- haunted.
