Silo must be leveled
By Wilma Oke
TUCKERSMITH TWP. — For nearly 50
years the old farm silo at Vanastra has been
a landmark in the hamlet. Now crumbling,
it must be leveled for safety reasons. •
When the government bought the Norman
Tyndall farm south of Clinton around 1940 to
build a communications school for the air
force, the silo was the only structure not
leveled on the farm. The farm buildings
were all demolished to make way for the
many houses and dormitories built to house
the hundreds of student airmen who trained
there during World War II. Schools, chur-
ches, a hospital, stores and other facilities to
serve the men and their families were built
there.
The silo was used as a viewing station dur-
ing wartime.
The Ranger Engineering firm has been
granted permission to demolish the silo
located adjacent to the parade square and .
partially on the road allowance within
Vanastra.
