"We were very lucky"

'NOT -SO -SOLID BRICK
At the top of the street, where it
climbs the hill to the business section
of the village, are the remains of the
Orange Lodge and a large church.
Nothing is left to identify it, but some-
one says it was the United church.
A solid brick building, it has been
shattered as completely as if hit by a
bomb. Virtually nothing is left
standing. above the basement. Where
one small section of wall remains, a
member of. a clean-up crew pushes
against it with his hand and the bricks
cascade down.
At the top of the hill stand the ruins
of the public library, another brick
building, similarly shattered. Despite
their once rock -solid appearance, they
have been destroyed more completely
than many of the more lightly -built
structures around theme It gives me
pause, for I_ live in-a'brick house..
NEVER QUITE THE SAME
"This street will never be the
same," mourns one resident, looking
at the gaping craters and huge
stumps, all that are left of the tall
maple§ which he says once made this
the best -shaded street in the village.
It is true. Perhaps the houses will be
better and newer --but the trees -are
from front page
gone completely, leaving Amaranth
Street stripped as barren as a new
subdivision. Yet the next.street.up the
hill has all its trees, leaves and
branches still intact.
Qn the same topic, Mr. Galbraith
comments that the tornado "sure
fixed the town's new bylaw" requiring
that anyone removing a tree must
plant a new one. Asked how this ap-
plies to a tornado, he says he desn't
know.
Still virtually everyone I talk with
says they were lucky; it comes up
again and again. Houses and trees can
eventually he replaced. Lives cannot.
For the people of Grand Valley and
thousands of others between Arthur
and Barrie, the afternoon of Friday,
May 31, is one they 'will not soon
forget. It was the day when some of
them lost homes, cars, property. It
was also the day when many of them
could have lost their lives, but were
spared.
Now; as they watch the hundreds of
volunteers who have come to help
them clean up and repair the damage,
that thought is uppermost in their
minds.
"It's a miracle more weren't killed.
Wewere very lucky.

Did
You
Know
Fish
hear
best
By PHYLLIS WEAVER
Did you know which sense
that fish have most ,highly
developed?
Generally, a fish doesn't
see too well, but then neither
do we, under water! We
know about the well-devel-
oped taste and smell senses
that sharks have. But the
most developed sense of a
fish is that of hearing.
A fish is able to detect
sounds over a wide range of
frequencies. And since fish
hear very well, it is as-
sumed that sound becomes
an important function, cer-
tainly when communicating.
For instance; the parrot
fish makes loud crunching
sounds when chewing coral,
and he is immediately sur-
rounded by his fellows as if
a dinner bell has rung.
Dolphins hear verywell,
too. Sailors say that dolphin
are so fond of music that
they will swim beside a boat
in which music is being
played.
