Over 100 people, travelling in a

alcade went to the farm of Harry

R. G. Bennett, agricultural re-
presentative for Huron County,

land, Field Husbandry Department,

Seaforth Escapes
Electrical Storm
Seaforth escaped one of the
severest electrical storms last
Monday that Western Ontario has
experienced for some time. A wide
swath of destruction and heavy
crop • loss resulted from the cas-
cading downpour of rain, high
winds, and even small cyclones in
some areas.
The storm travelled in a line
which included Sarnia, Londen,
Woodstock, Preston and Brant-
ford, and was wide enough to take
in Stratford, Chatham, Plattsville
and St. Thomas.
Hydro service was interrupted
frequently in the Stratford to God-
erich district when lightning struck
transformers, power stations and
high tension lines. Seaforth's
power service was affected during
Monday's storm several times as
a result of these breaks.
While rain in this district
amounted to little more than a
summer shower, a few miles east
of town the heavy downpour
amounted to cloud -burst propor-
tions. The heavy rains levelled
many fields of hay and grain, re-
sulting in major losses to farmers.
The storm was also blamed, for
several motor accidents in West-
ern Ontario cities, and for the
death df a Stratford woman who
was fatally injured near Hamilton.
