Heavy snowfall hits village
By Roberta Walker
GRAND BEND - That was quite
1 snowfall for Grand Bend last
week - almost six inches of wet
mow transformed a dying autumn
landscape into a winter wonder-
land. It wasn't so good for the trees
the powerlines, however, since
.ie power went off before 4 a.m.
and didn't come on again until
nearly noon in the Oakwood subdi-
vision.
Other areas were luckier, but a
lot of concerned gardeners were
outside shaking the snow off their
trees, bent nearly double by the
weight, and some branches cracked
and fell, requiring a minor clean-
up.
Now things are back to normal,
so, you have time to finish stripping
your gardens, planting those bulbs
for next spring, and raking up the
leaves before the next snowfall.
Don't forget the annual Turkey
Supper at Grand Bend United
Church - they are serving up a
memorable meal tonight.
Mrs. Nola Love and her sister
Mrs. Ila Kayes attended a special
service on Sunday at Holy Trinity
Anglican Church in Lucan. Their
sister Mrs. Clarence (Beulah) Har-
dy was honored with a gift for her
many years there as organist and
choir. leader.
