East Wawanosh Public School became home for ninety students, two bus drivers, a ditto repair• rnan and several staff members. It all began last Tuesday morning, All the buses had arrived at school without difficulty but by noon two buses had taken their cargo, hone because of the weath• cr• Two other buses were strand - rd at the school. The O.P.P. Safety Officer who had spoken to the pupils in the morning, tried to leave after lunch and became stuck in the ditch in front of the school. To top it all off, or perhaps I should say, to uncap It all, he lost his hat which went hopping across the snowy schoolyard, After an intensive search, the hat was recovered, • Later in the afternoon Ralph Campbell arrived in a snow plow and rescued the 0•P,P, Safety Of - ricer and several staff members. By now the dye was cast, tray elling was Impossible, The ditto repairman, Brad Galbraith, Alex Nethery, the students and remain- ing staff members would have to spend the night at school, There was no time to ask the' question, "What do we do now?" Everyone just dug in and got to work. Rich- ard Anderson and John Mitchell arrived with the first of many loads ,of supplies of food and bed- ding, ..Snowmobiles were busy hauling supplies from the village to the school, During the day the students were 'commendable, Senior stu- dents' helped the 'younger ones, At night the students slept on quilts on the floor. School had never been like this before. At supper' time on Wednesday, we had a banquet. The ladies in the village sent up hot casseroles and pastry. The butter melted on the rolls which were still steamy when they arrived at school. What a feast! Finally, on Friday, all the stu- dents had arrived home safely. As the pupils left the school after their stay, I'm sure they thought to themselves, "Home was never like this!" Author Unpublished.

Every body welcome, ABBREVIATED EDITION Because of the storm which has lasted here for a week's duration, this wok's issue of the .Standard will 'be somewhat abbreviated, In fact, at time of. this writing we just don't know, how many pages we will be able to produce. News copy has been coming into the office at'a snail's pace, and in fact, ,there has just been nothing going on in and . around the com- munity this past week, When the 'storm continued to persist on Monday of this week we had just about made up 'our mind not to publish at all. Many of last week's papers had not even reached subscribers and It was felt if this situation continued it would not be fair to advertisers, However, the sun shone on Tues. day and presented a. little dif• ferent situation • and we changed our mind; As we said, there just isn't that much news to fill the regular pages,• or for that matter, much time left 'to do the printing. But ..anyway; • we have decided to publish as much as possible, $5,000 DAMAGE' IN' FARM HOME FIRg A family of three escaped injury early Monday 'morning when fire caused $5,000 damage to an area farm The fire occurred at the home,of Henry Selling in , East' Wawanosh Township on Highway 4 north of Blyth.' Firemen were called to the scene at 4 a,m. Mr, - Selling,' his wife and teen- age son, who • were home when the blaze started, are temporarily staying with Mr. Selling's daught- er in Clinton,—• Blyth -Firemen, who were. assist- ed by the Wingham tank truck, were 'able to confine the fire to a bedroom, kitchen and office et the rear of the strttcture.

The .sun is shin- ing profusely and district resi- dents are out shovelling, plowing and blowing their way through mountainous banks and drifts. As we reported last week, the big blast started about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, January 26th, and there was. very little letup locally until the following Tues- day, February 2nd. In fact, it snowed and the wind blew prac- tically continually for the entire week, Two snow plows made it through to Blyth on the Wednesday night of the storm between 10 and 10:30 p.m. They have been travelling the highway since that time but the snow, and wind kept driving conditions. extretnely hazardous. During a bit of a respite from the wind on Thursday morning many of the storm stayed travellers holed up in Blyth made a dash for their home, localities, How- ever, the letup was only tempor- ary and. by Thursday afternoon their faces were exchanged for a host of new victims of the storm. School children were able to make their way to their homes on Friday vta McClinchey's bus and a hr;t of snowmobiles which tra- velled with the bus in order to take the pupils up laneways and dotra blocked sicleroads and con- cessions, They managed to get everyone home safe and sound by mid afternoon. The clearing trend came on Tuesday, and although snow plows have highways ilairly well cleared of snow, driving conditions are still :extremely, dangerous. There is a- tcriffic build-up of snow on several places on the road, and icy conditions and severe ruts are staking conditions almost impos- sible in many spots between here and Exeter. The worst would surely have to he at the north entrance of Clinton. The traffic there is only one lane and the ruts and bumpy condition of the road is making it almost Impas- sable. One finds it hard to un- derstand why the town of Clinton would not bring their grader in to level and help the condition., We can imagine that it certainly isn't helping their business from residents living to the north of their community. All over the district the snow- mobiles have really shown people just what they can do in a state of emergency. In literally every community owners of machines have been working almost contin- uously in emergency situations, .Our village Is no exception. Snowmobiles have been used here for many purposes. As we mentioned, they were a main force in assisting school children to re- turn to their homes last Friday. They have also been busy deliv- ering groceries to residents both in town and out in the country. They have delivered such things as medical supplies and have help• ed to get area residents who were ill to local hosiptals. All in all it's been a terrific storm. Local residents teamed together in order to make the best of a difficult situation and des• erve tremendous credit for their efforts. Many are drawing com- parisons with the 1947 storm and are unable to decide which has been the worst. Already we have received more than our share of snow and let's hope that the days from now until spring will be much more pleasant. During the storm, local resi- dents were quite well supplied. From Tuesday until Frichay we h ad• three • bread' • trucks' and two beer trucks stranded in Blyth — so everyone was happy! londesboro Weathered The Storm The storm of the past week brought out the co-operation an good will of the people when 300 or more children, teachers, bank- ers, truck drivers, those employ - cd in the village, were billetted in homes and the school. The bacl, !tick of Mr, Bill Watkins, Bartliff bread truck driver, was a blessing in disguise, as it supplied baking to the village, One half of the community was without hydro, so no heat or wat• 3r for 21 hours, Children were all returned to their homes by Friday noon by school buses and; snowmobiles, The snowmobiles had a rise in popularity for the ready response of their owners to people in need. Mr. and Mrs. Norman Alexand• er returned hof ui ort Friday from enjoying six weeks holidaying in Arizona. , A helicopter responded to a call from Mr. Jack Armstrong on Sun- day to repair hydro, There was no church on Sunday, January 31st on account of the storm and there will be none on February •7th as Rev, McDonald is on holidays. The Berean. Unit of the UCW will hold their meeting February 9th 'at 2 p.m. at the home of Mrs, Bert Shobhrook, Auburn Claims Worst: Storm in 31 Years The worst storm in 31 years bit this locality last week according to Charles Scott, mailman on R.

In a special In- terview for White Cane Week, Jack Clements, District Adminis- trator for The Canadian National Institute for the Blind, urged everyone over 35 to take the test for glaucoma when they are ex- amined by an eye doctor. "Glaucoma is painless," he said, "and can destroy your side vis. ion a little at a time, day in, day out," Figures just released for the year 1969 show that 2,033 Can- adians lost their sight, Of that number 224 or 11 percent of the total became blind through glau- coma. "The sad part of It is that the majority of them could still have good useful vision if they had dis- covered glaucoma In time," the CNIB man said, Once detected, the condition can cften be check- ed by the use of drops prescrlb• ed to suit the patient and applied in an easy way from a sitnple plastic bottle. If allowed to con- tinue unchecked, blindness even- tually occurs, r DOLLAR DAYS Stewart's Red &3 White Food Mkt. RLYTU, ONT..
