BARN B'LO'WN DOWN BY 'WIND
Thursday evening's storm demol-
ished the long narrow straw shed at-
tached to the barn on Mr, Percy
'Smith's farm just east of 'Grieve's
'bridge in M'clKillop township. The
cement foundation wall on the east
side crumbled and fell also. 'Pieces of
timber were scattered over the slope
of -the hill to the east of the''barn and
the beasns were all taken off the
found'ation. Mr. 'Smith had his clothes
torn by •fallingtimber as he returned
from s'hu'tting =a door. IO'n& .of the
caws had a horn brdken and was.
somewhat injured While standing
nearby. Pigs in the cement stable be-
low the straw shed narrowly escaped
some of th.e falling cement. The cyc-
lonic storm of last month tore out a
Section of the roof on the"main barn.
This time the roof was saved by the
fact that the large doors were open
and let .out the wind 'coming through
the big opening at the end of tate
straw :sailed.
•Probably the Whole 'barn would
have been denied off the foundation
except for the ,weight of hay in the
two mows.
Members of the 'family were doing
the millein'g in the :main '(earn about 7
o''clock when they h•eatar the wind
coming and Mr. Simith ran into the
ping stable and slammed the yard door
shut. Fortunately it was only a 'fete
steps dram the entrance to the main
barn. because, as he stepped back,
that wing of the 'barn collapsed, ant
of the falling timbers tearing his
clothes.
There is wind insurance on the
barn. No damage was done anywhere
•e'lse in the district except on' that hill.
A beech tree between the McKillop
manse and the gravel .road was b'lovwn
.over.as`was an apple tree in an ar'oh
ard across from Mr. A hay
loader near ,the orchard was rolled
along the ground for some distance
by the wind.
IIn 'Hu'llett township near 'Clinton,:
George Mann's bars was damaged the
same evening. 'An end wall was'bldw.n
fiat and the side walls spread, letting
the roof down. The next day in Lo-
gan township a near-lcyclonit gale did
rumor damage.

"Dear, Sir: On the recent visit of
a . representati've of the Municipal
Audit department to your munici-
pality a list of consumers' accounts
in arrears was made, copy of which
is atta'c'hed hereto. Clause 46, !Stan-
dard Interpretations of Rates, dis-
tinctly states the method of collec-
tion for those accounts in arrears.
This clause is as follows:-
" 'When the consumer is 'fifteen
days in arrears for two months'
service, the service shall be •discon-
ti,nteed, and service s'ha'll' not be
given again until payment is made
in full, including a charge of $1.00

discontinuance of service does not
relieve the consumer of the liabil-
ity for arrears or for his service
charge or minimum bills for the
balance of the term of contract.
The corporation may if deemed ad-
visable, make more rigid require-
ments re'gardin'g payment of bills.

four Seaforth young men, Gordon
'Hildebrand, Roydon Hawkins, Nor-
man and Allen McLeod. They pro-
ceeded to the pier and began diving
into the water. Roy Hawkins was the
(first to, strike his head on the ibottom
but he was uninjured and the diving
continued until Aitchison struck his
head, totally Paralyzing 'his body from
the shoulders down.
He was conscious when taken from
the water, however, and asked that
his parents in Stratford be notified,
and that a priest be called to adminis-
ter the lash rites of the Roman Cath-
olic Church.
The injured youth was rem!ov!ed to
the home Of Dr. Schram of Grand
(Bend, and Rev. Father Marchand of

scious and chatted with his sister up
to a few minutes before he died.
His parents, who had been visiting
at Fairview, near Stratford, rushed
to Grand Bend when notified of the
accident.

Thomas. His parents later moved to
Fairview, and five years ago to Strat-
ford, where Mr. A•itfhison is employ-
ed as a blacksmith at the C.;N.IR.

was popular in Seaforth, as he had
been in Stratford.
The funeral took plaice at St.. Jo-
