The windstorm from the east which brewed up last Wednes- day played its role in passing and as well caused much dam- age. Not too many escaped at least some minor loss in its trail.

With the exception of a few who are not yet fully modern- ized with the latest appliances and are burning nature's fuel— wood and coal—they considered themselves lucky, as well, they were glad to give shelter for that evening to the more unfor- tunate. They also provided light from the burning of kero- sene lamps that have been put out of the way by many. Away back in the year of 1913, I believe, and in the month of April, a similar storm had brewed up from the south- west direction and it too left in its pathway destruction of prop- erty and much damage 'in this surrounding. At that time they were not modernized with hydro and there were very few telephones so these necessities of today were not missed at that time, At that time the St. Joseph Bab moral block was almost com- pleted and on that day much of the flat roof was lifted and carried in the air by large sec- tions on the easterly farms al- most a mile away by the high winds of almost one hundred miles an hour. Homes in this surrounding were in great dan- ger and families living on this roadway were on guard and had made provisions for a quick get -away from their homes. Planks and other heavy mater- ials were seen flying in the air at the peak of the storm at mid-day. Farmers, who were ready for seeding, had much to pick up of the debris. However, we have much to be thankful for there was not to our memory any loss of life. Pioneer Days (Cont.) The second school built was a log building which served as a school and on Sunday a priest conducted a church service. By that time, in the late sixties and early seventies, the third generation were then in their boyhood days. Though young they had already had some schooling and were de- veloping adult ideas. That meant to the older people some help and by that they too were learning. The few of this third generation left can recall many of the pioneers and their ways of work. The people of that generation had not much school- ing as at that time parents were not interested and also there were no laws to enforce school attendance, BOB'S Barber Shop MAIN STREET, ZURICH Open Tuesday and Friday Nite r11111•111111111111b, Attention Bean Growers DO TWO JOBS AT ONE TIME FERTILIZE AND CONTROL WHITE BEAN INSECTS WITH ONE EASY APPLICATION AGRICO 8-32-16 with systemic insect control for beans, contains (R) DI-SYSTON (Disulfoton) The chemical is impragnated in the fertilizer granules.
