NOON Severing of High Tension Line Somewhere East of City Blamed Due to the electrical storm of this afternoon the electrical power service to this city was cut off at 2.45 o'clock by the severing of high tension electric lines between this eity and Bowmanville. Power came on again at 4 o'tlock. The power was off for some time, proving of considerable in- convenience to industries and pri- vate citizens, The break in (he power system came at a most in- convenient time for The Times, which - was making the last pre- parations to go to press. The paper was consequenty de- layed, not only by the actual time that the power was off, but also by the fact that the metal melting pots on the typesetting machines became cooled off in the interval that the power was off, and a fur- ther period had to elapse while they were being reheated before oprations could be resumed. Covered Wide Area The storm apparently covered a wide area, but the downpour of rain which accompanied it seem- ed to miss Oshawa to a large ex- tent. For three hours there was a deluge of rain in Toronto and as far east as' Pickering i-and even Whitby Me 'visited by heavy rains during the noon hour, The storm was also severe fo the east, for it was in that direction that the power break occurred. A Oshawa escaped 'with only intermittent showers of rain,' although ' the lightning was close enough that it struck a house on Ritson road. ------------------ GAME CENSUS BY AEROPLANE A census of big game of Alaska is being made from the'air by the Alaska Gpme 'Commission, On one flight over the Big Delta re- gion, southeast of Fairbanks, 500 caribou and nine moose were counted, Near the Toklat rive: 20 moose were sighted.
