LAC R. R. 'Dickenson; wife and
daughter. Mrs. Dickenson and
small daughter who had just ar-
rived from Gateshead,. England,
had,not seen her husband for a
year. The day after they arrived
here, LAC Dickenson was taken
ill'and sent to the Air Force hos-
pital at Trenton. •
Sgt.' 11. D. Campbell, wife and
three sons. Sgt. Campbell who
was recently on transferred from.
Trenton to RCAF 'StatiClin-
ton,-left the .latter place at six
o'clock on Friday evening to bring
his wife and boys to Bayfield. He
was in Toronto when Hurricane
Hazel was at her worst. He was
told that he couldn't get' through
to Trenton but after many har-
rowing experiences he arrived at
two o'clock Saturday morning.
At one time, when the. water
was two feet ''deep on the'road,
Sgt.- Campbell followed a big
truck so that he .could stay in
the trough of water. In one spot
a. group of teen-agers passed him.
Their car skidded and landed in a
ditch.. They just got out of their
automobile when a tree crashed
on it, wrecking it completely.
Another driver of of car sud-
denly found a tree in his path. He
veered to the right. The car land-
ed in a field upsidedown, com-
pletely wrecked.
Another automobile hit a fallen
tree, jumped and landed in the
middle of the tree. A man 'follow-
ing was travelling with a chain
saw so they all got busy and saw-
ed a until they could get through.
More than once the chain saw
came into ribbon to remove a tree
blocking the road. These are just
some of the incidents Sgt. Camp-
bell encountered on his trip to
Trenton.
On the return trip on Sunday,
they were held up three times in
Toronto. Twice for half-hour per-
iods and once for three-quarters
of an hour. The Provincial Police
were stopping cars, and drivers
had to state their reasons for go-
ing through. Only those who had
a very important reason for
travelling west were aIIOWOd 9Ver
the Dundas Street bridge' onto
Highway 5, It was the only one
open to traffic and drivers were
advised to be content to crawl
along. All traffic approaching the
city from the west were turned
back unless for emergency pure
poses.
The Campbell family arrived
home at 11.15 completely exhaust-
ed. Mr. and Mrs. Poth were wor-
ried when they did not put in an
appearance earlier in the day and
had reported their non -arrival to
another officer in one of the cot-
tages before retiring.

Hurricane Hazel.
At Work In
Bayfield Harbour.
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
In this district we can count
ourselves lucky that Hurricane
Hazel's outer fringes only caused
minor 'damage. The heavy rains
swelled the river from bank to
bank. On Sunday it was within
two inches of the top of the fish-
ermen's dock. The swift current
carried whole trees, acres of good
top soil, and even the body of a
sheep caught in the floods up-
stream was seen floating out to
the lake.
The bridge over the culvert be-
tween the residence and garage
at Alf. Scotchmer's was washed
out. The lake bank and steps at
the end of Bayfield Terrace took
quite a beating. "
Then, of course, there are all
the .ruined beans in the fields.
That appeared to the farmers
concerned to be a great disaster
until Hurricane Hazel bit the To-
ronto area so badly. Now the
hard-hit farmers are busy count-
ing their blessings.
Some concern was felt for the
safety of Donnie MacLeod on
Friday night until his boat, "The
John MacLeod", came into port
at seven o'clockHe had been
down to The Point to lift white-
fish nets. Half his nets had brok-
en away and he couldn't find
them. Fortunately, he had an ex-
tra ten gallons of gasoline along
which was just enough to bring
his steel tug through the rollgsi
waters to the harbour,

Relatives Safe
In' Humber. Area
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
His parents and other relatives
here were quite concerned over
the weekend for the safety of
Charles Parker and family whose
home is on the west bank of the
Humber river, between Scarlett
Avenue and Weston.
They tried to telephone on Sat-
urday but could get no connec-
tion. Finally, on Sunday morning,
his sister, Mrs. Fred Weston, got
the residence of his partner in the
Ace Pump Service, John Calaugh-
ton. Mrs. Calaughton gave the in-
formation that both Charlie and
her husband had worked at their
place of manufacture in Weston
until 1.15 a.m, Saturday. So they
judged that Charlie couldn't have
been any more than over the
Lawrence Ave. bridge, if he'd
made it, before it was damaged:
Sunday evening, John Calaugh-
ton telephoned to say that he had
been allowed through with . a
truckload of pumping equipment
for the stricken area and that
Charlie's residence near the top
of the bank had not been dam-
aged. It is situated about 100
yards from the Lawrence Ave,
bridge. The street below the
Parker home and 17 houses were
washed away. He talked to Mrs.
Parker but Charlie had been out
all day working with emergency
crews searching for bodies,
.At the time of writing, his par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Parker,
had had no further word, but
their worst fears are allayed since
they know that Charlie; his wife
and little Bonnie are safe.
