Britlsoh.Papers Tell Havoç by Recent Catis and FIoode We have received from H. Wright, R.R. 2,: Bowmanville, a bundie of newspaper cdippings lately received from England which tell of the new havoc by gale and flood that followed the most severe winter in a century. Some of the highlights are quoted belov., at this time for they. will probably do something ta spark the present drive ta gather food and clothing ta be sent to Eng- land to relieve distress The Peterborough Citizen and Advertiser in a series of articles and pictures writes the storiu that foliowed on aiter the unprece- dented- depth af snow began ta meit. At. once rivers be- gan to rise and rain $ollowed. Within a matter of hours many towns were inundated and vast stretches of the countryside were fiooded ta a great depth. Then almost at once a hurricane af wind complicated the difficulties. The resuit can be îmagined. Thousands of people had ta move to upper atonies of homes, others were rendered absolutely home- less. Thousands of head af live- stock drowned in flooded fields. Thousands of acres were rendered useless for sowing this year. The immediate task of relief went be- yond the resources at hand, hence the drive for relief from Canada was at once instituted. During the winter almost every- where in England, coal was in short supply, power was drastic- ally curtailed, food rations were again cut and clothing could not be had at any price. As a resuit ai floods and gales great quanti- ties ai food and clothing were destroyed and with factories clos- ed for lack of power the situation became almoat hopeless. The newspaper told how be- draggled people gathered in the churches ta pray for relief from their misei'ies. Nothing like it Visitons: Mn. and Mns. Milton Cochrane, Oshawa; Mn.
