Breakdown at Buffalo Blamed
Power Failure Blacks Out
Vast U.S. Canadian Sector
Millions of residents of the
northeastern area of the Ameri-
can continent were given cause
for serious thought on Tuesday
afternoon and evening when a
power failure blacked out the
section from Buffalo to the At-
lantic.
The first power failure oc-
curred in the Wingham area at
about 5.20 p.m. Service was
restored briefly before the sup-
per hour but failed on two oc-
casions before it was back to
stay at 7.40.
Cause of the disruption is
believed to have been a me-
chanical trouble in the Niagara
distribution system at Buffalo.
Most of New York State, parts
of Pennsylvania, Vermont and
New Hampshire were blacked
out, as well as several other At-
lantic areas and big sections in
Canada, including the city of
Toronto.
The disruption was most
evident in the New York -New
Jersey complex where some
850,000 commuters on their
way home during the rush hour
were stranded on electrically
operated subways and surface
commuter trains. President
Johnson from his home in Tex-
as ordered all federal services,

FALSE ALARM
In the midst of a sharp elec-
trical storm on Monday morn-
ing the town's fire siren started
to wail and firemen rushed
through a downpour to the hall,
only to find that the lightning
had apparently shorted the con-
nections on the siren and trig-
gered the alarm.

BIG NIGHT --
No doubt the auditorium of
the Wingham District High
School will be filled for the an-
nual commencement exercises
on Friday evening. On this
occasion the bursaries, scholar-
ships and other such awards will
be prr •ented to the graduates
of the .o64-65 term.

OFFICERS INSTALLED- -
OfflcerS for the comingyear
were installed at an Eastern
Star meeting on Tuesday night.
Mts. Florence Reavie, Grand
Electa was the installing offic-
er. Named Worthy Matron and
Patton were Mt. and Mrs. Scott
Reid,
at the disposal of public auth-
orities during the crisis,
Within 30 minutes after the
power failure looting started in
Rochester and other centres. In
a penitentiary near Boston,pris-
oners rioted in their darkened
cells and corridors and caused
untold property damage. They
were quieted only after the
massive use of tear gas.
Reports on Wednesday morn-
ing indicate that power was not
fully restored in New York all
night.
The very wide area affected
by the breakdown is explained
by the fact that all power sour-
ces on the continent are now
tied into a grid system. The
purpose of the network is to
prevent the very thing which
occurred by feeding from alter-
nate generating units, should a
failure occur in any one loca-
tion.
American government auth-
orities, including the FBI are
investigating the cause of the
disruption.

Two Minor Mishaps
During the Week
Provincial police of the
Wingham detachment investi-
gated two rather minor acci-
dents during the past week.
On Wednesday of last week
Clifford Kernaghan, of Wing-
ham, was travelling on the 9th
of Turnberry about three miles
east of No. 4, when the car
was in collision with a cattle
beast. The car suffered about
$75.00 damage and the animal
had to be destroyed. It was
owned by G. Underwood, R, R.
1, Wingham.
On Saturday evening Paul
M. Somers, of Brussels, was
northbound on the county road
south of Walton when he miss»
ed a curve. It was very foggy
at the tittle.
The cat went through the
corner, which is a T intersec-
tion, and clipped off a post
supporting a checker board sign,
The driver was not injured.
Workmen are putting in the
foundations for a new ware-
house addition to the Stanley -
Berry Limited plant here . The
addition will measure 40 x 80
feet and will be attached to the
east side of the building.
The two-storey structure will
be of cement and block con-
struction, the top floor to be
utilized as a shipping dock with
space for four trucks. The low-
er floor will provide warehous-
ing for the factory's stock of
doors. The new storage area
will be serviced by a conveyor
belt from the plant.
Plant Manager Herbert Fuller
said the new addition has been
badly needed for some time,
and when completed will mean
a more efficient transfer of
doors from the plant to the
trucks. The old loading dock
will be retained to service the
rail siding.
General Building Products
Limited of Walkerton, has the
$25, 000 contract, which will
be under the supervision of Wil-
fred White of Wingham.

liberal Party Fails in Bid for More $eats
MINORITY GOVERNMENT
RETURNED TO OTTAWA
The most significant result
of Monday's federal election is
that the Liberal Party failed to
win for itself the clear-cut ma-
jority in the Nouse of Commons
it had demanded of the Cana-
dian voters. In fact, the divis-
ion of seats is roughly the same
as it was upon dissolution of
Parliament for the election call.
The New Democratic Party has
gained a few and as a result
will, in fact, hold the balance
of power.
The Progressive Conservative.
Party made noticeable gains in
Prince Edward Island, Nova
Scotia and. New Brunswick, held
most of the seats its south-wes-
tern Ontario key area and came
through strongly in the West.
The Liberals, as anticipated,
were strong in Quebec, Metro
Toronto and other areas. Two
Liberal cabinet members were
defeated in their own ridings:
Mines Minister J. Watson Mac -
Naught in Prince Edward Island
and Agriculture Minister Harry
Hays in Calgary South. Prime
Minister Pearson defeated the
well-known TV personality,
Joel Aldred, in Algoma East.
