full load of lumber went out of control on the sharp turn at the west end of the village and over turned dumping the load on Harrisons front lawn and the lawn of the empty house next door owned by Mrs Rose Ellison The large snow banks along the side of the highway no doubt did much to save the driver from serious Injury The railing and posts of the verandah of Mrs Ellison house were completely smashed and the house damaged The Harrison home had the storm window in Kevin upstairs bedroom smashed and the storm win at the front of the house was cracked Their front porch was damaged with the eves troughs broken and some damage was done to the aluminum siding of the house Their driveway com blocked off with liege piles of lumber an Mr Harrison lost a days work when he was unable to get out The Harrison family of Joy Kevin Gall are finding It nerve wratkmg to be awakened In the middle of the night when cars or trucks go out of control on the dnnmrous curve Mrs Harrison said that it Is bad enough to go through the nervous strain of the accident but what they found most anno was the aftermath of the incident trying to get some action on removing the lumber A start was eventually made about m in the and their driveway cleared When the rest of the lumber was finally cleared up a couple of days later the mess of splintered wood bits of plastic pirts of the smashed truck etc were left The hydro pole beside their home Is leaning at a dangerous angle tied to a tree for support by the hydro crew until they can replace it The Harrison family have found out by bitter experience that the results of the that occur on their property arc felt for a long lime It was two years ago this month that a large truck loaded with frozen fowls ended up In the some In the middle of the night but in that accident the driver The Harrisons are still picking broken glass out of their lawn from that accident They havt no trees on their lawn at the front of their property the results of previous accidents All their neighbours on both sides of the highway near this bad comer have had the same nerve wracking experience with cars ending up on their lawns or gardens and trees uprooted or broken off They report that they waken in the night to the screaming of brakes and tense up waiting for the crash to follow The Harrison family think that it Is long past time that something be done to Improve this hazardous corner Mrs Harrison suggests that perhaps better lighting there would help drivers unfamiliar with the road and higher and stronger guard rails might help She plans to ask the assistance of the Community Association for help in getting some action in improving this dangerous Town avoiding OMB hearing on Acton plan new route in that go to the about construction plans Hills
