A number of tornadoes track across Ontario every year, and it's important to decide in advance where family mem- bers could seek shelter. If using the television to detect the seriousness of a storm, tune in channel 13. Turn the brightness control until the screen is almost black. Then switch over to channel 2 and leave the volume turned down. Lightning will produce momentary white bands of varying widths across the screen of a black and white television — colour sets produce colour bands. A tornado within 15 to 20 miles will pro- duce a totally white screen that remains white — or colour in the case of a colour set. Should this occur, switch off the television, take a portable radio, and seek appropriate shelter immediately. This system works because channel 2 has a frequency of 55 MHz. Lightning and tornadoes generate a signal near this frequency which overrides the bright- ness control. Channel 13 is at the high end of the VHF band, and so is not affected. That's why the darkness must be set on this channel. Keep a portable radio on hand for emergency instructions in case of power failure. If the radio is tuned to 550 KHz, lightning will cause intermittent static. A tornado will cause steady, continuous static.0 ROUND BARN CUTS CHORES By housing his pigs in a round, 28 - foot diameter, 14 -foot high concrete - sided structure with a domed roof, Allan Miller of the Temiskaming District can spend only about a half hour each day doing chores in his 100 -pig weaner to market barn. A centre post extends from the top of the barn down to a radial arm cleaning unit and gate. The devices looks like a long gate the width of the barn. (cont'd)
