Had it not been for the ice many of the poles would not have toppled despite the high Wind gusts. Another reason was the wind direction. Prevailing winds in the area are from the north west. This storm blew from the east and brought down many extra branches from trees caus- log added problems. Mr. Smart also praised the patience and understanding of customers. There were many calls asking when the service might be repaired but most an- cepted the situation and waited for repair crews to arrive, Winds also caused damage to buildings. Several area.barns had a portion of the roofing ripped off during the evening. Some schools in the area were closed due to the power breaks, No extra men were needed for the Department of Highways but crews were busy drawing truck- loads of branches away from the sides of the road and clearing away trees which were uprooted. -Continued from front Page service connection ripped from the building, E. W, raddleifson, Exeter area, manager praised the "fantastic" work of the orews and also had abundant praise for the patience and help, of the cestomers. He explained that there was a dif- ficulty getting food to the men and many residents brought cof- fee and sandwiches to the crew as they worked their way down the road. "The people were wend- erful" he said. The worst areas affected with hydro lines down were in Steph- en, Usborne and Fullerton Town- ships with some damage in Hay. The over 70 mph winds were classed as hurricane force and this, coupled with the terrific weight of the ice on the insulat- ors "snapped off poles like match sticks" Mr. Oddielfson said, On the new line which is being con- structed to the Port Blake pump- ing station 15 poles will have to be replaced. These were new 65 foot poles only installed this spring and eight of them were annual father and son banquet, The blackout did not Curtail en- thusiasm and the balauce of the program with the exception of movies was carried out as plan- ned by candle light.

There were also two construction crews from the Port Blake line and the regular Exeter crew Working to restore service.

A lot of the equipment needed for repairs was on hand either in Exeter or London but a-convoy of supplies was sent from Toronto to fill the rest of their needs. The local crew picked this up at Kitchener and distributed it to crews in the area. R. J. Smart, director of in- formation, Ontario Hydro Lon- don, explained the reason behind the heavy icing conditions during the storm.
