Cold' winds, at times of gale -like proportions, resulted in consider- able damage to buildings in the area during the past week. The winds were in marked contrast to the warm weather and rain that has prevailea almost since Christ- mas. Despite the cold. there hag been practically no now. The lowered temperature has made it possible to make ice in the new Seaforth arena. While the arena had been flooded on several occasions during the past two weeks, it was snot until this week. that it was possible to build up a sufficient depth of ice. Natural ice, is beirg used in the arena until completion' of the artificial plant promised for mid-February. Over the weeksend a large sign and a chimney at the Supertest Garage, Main and Goderich Sts., were. blown over. • At the 'height of the windstorm Monday afternoon a chimney' at the farm of R. S. McKercher, McKils lop, caught lire. but with the help of neighbors the blaze was extin- guished before serious damage re- sulted. Some fifty ears were on the scene wifhin a few moments as residents of the district rushed to help. In the Kippen area the verandah on the west side of Eddie McBride's home was completely destroyed during Friday night's storm. It will take three of four bunches of shingles' to repair Thomas Butt's barn roof. Mrs. Lydia Doig's barn roof also was damaged. Part of the roof blew off during Friday eve- ning and the continuous wind since has almost completely wrecked the entire roof, so that now the dam. age will run into several hundred dollars.
