Home Was Never Like This!
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!"

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,

B1 YTH, ONTARIO -- WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3rd, 1971
WEEK-LONG STORM PROVIDED MANY
HARDSHIPS AND INNOVATIONS
;1s this is being writting on
Wednesday afternoon, it would ap-
pear as if the big storm of the
winter Is over. 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,

UNITED CHURCH NEWS
About fifty souls braved the cold
and snow on Sunday morning to
attend worship at Blyth United
Church. In the absence of the re.
gular organist because of weather
and road conditions, the organ
was played by Mrs. William How-
son. The choir, due to being few
in number and without their dir•
ector, did not sing.
The Sunday School, which meets
prior to the Service, was cancel'.
ed, Some of the children attended
worship with their parents.
This coming Sunday, Mr, Wit -
Hell will tell of his call to enter
the Christian ministry.

Important meeting as a full slate
of directors is to be elected. Let
us all go out to elect the men best
suited for the job, and not elect
men just because they belong to
a certain organization.
There are most certainly chang-
es coming up in the tnarketin,; of
our hogs, so let's make sure we
have clear-headed people repo -
senting us, who can make intelli•
gent proposals or judge proposals
intelligently, The meeting will be
held in the Clinton Legion Hall at
1:00 p.m, on February 9th. Please
try to get a car load of your neigh-
bours to come along.
Yours truly,
Adrian Vos,

WHITE CANE WEEK
FEBRUARY 7 To 13
Hundreds of Canadians have a
disease that causes blindness and
do not know it. 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,
