ed latae Tuesday whbn the snow, aided
by 'a s,tnong wind, reduced. visability
to a minimum. Hydro was off all day
despite heroic work of linemen who
'patrolled the hieh•'tension line from
Stratford to Goderich searching for
breaks.
Highways in each direction were
impassable by Tuesday night, but
during the day motorists said it was
nearly . impossible to drive because of
the blinding stow. Garages, did a
record business .pulling cars. from the
ditch. A number of serious accidents
were reported) in• ,the Dublin -Mitchell
-district on No. 8 highway as a re-
sult of the storm, All were attribut-
ed t0 the impossibility of seeing more
than a few feet athead.

driven a passage through the main
roads by Wednesday afternoon, but
coneeasio:n roads remain impassable
to 'motor traffic. Motorists on Thurs-
day slay a mounting wind is beginning
to cover deep cuts -on No. 4 highway
to fill in again.

Mrs. Robert Doig were postponed un-
til Wednesday and Thursday, respec-
tively, pending settlement of the
weather. The opening Group 7 int' --
mediate "13" O.H.A. game between
