X I i ? I i •:>o This week The Advance is a couple of days late in reaching its subscri'J- tra, due to the failure of the supply of electricity to operate the linotj no to produce the news. Electric po.-/- er is used to heat the lead used in the electric pot for setting type. The power was turned on at (i:30 this Thursday night and after an hom used in heating the metal we were able to get to work completing thi.-. issue of The .Advance. It was like going back 35 years before we used electricity to the extent we do to- day. There was no power to drive motors for heating systems, electric stoves were useless and water sys- tem would not work and the people had to resort to using the old pump again (those who had them) and carry the needed water supply. Many homes in town were cold and some had to rely on neighbors who invit- ed them in for meals. Such is life with modern conveniences. This was a real black-out and the people re- sponded nobly. We did not hear any complaints from those unfort- unate enough at a time like that to have their homes completely equip- ped with modem conveniences. DIFFERENT SET-UP FOR PENSION BOARD Our Chapel is at the disposal of our clientele without extra charge. It contains well-appointed family reception rooms, including organ and organist. Bates and Maddocks FUNfRAL CHAPEL ^124 Avenue Rd KI.4544 The local boards set up for consid- eration of applications for old-age pensions asd mother's allowances have been abolished in accordance with the provisions contained in tlie regulations under the new Ontario Old- Airic Pem»ion.s a n d Miother'a Allowances .Acls, B. W. Heise, an- nounced this week. Mr. Heise, in communications .sent to board members, stated that the total number of persons in receipt of pensions has increased to the highest point in the histoi'y of the province. .\ complete reorganization of pro- cedure is necessary to handle the volume orf applications, Mr. Heise stated, because, under the new fad- era) act, pensions must be paid from tRe fiivt of the month, following the month in which they are received by the provincial pension authority. This new procedure will include the Grey County Board dissolution which met each month in Owen Sound, and of which Mrs. k. E. Ball of Hanover has been chairman, dur- ing the past year. • During the past the county moni- hers appointed by the Provincial government and the County Council, with county clerk, .Mrs. Rutherfoi-d a.? secretary, heard original applica- tions from tho.-e seeking- old age or blind pensions or mothers' allowanc- es in the county, and after consid- eration at their monthly meeting held at Owen Sound, made recom- mentuit'on to the department at Toronto. The cleik of each municipality made out the application and was paid a sum for each individual ap- plication. All county board members received remuneration and mileage for each meetini;-. Ju=t what method will replace this foi-mer county board system has not yet been announced. .\n 8*2 mile an hour hurricane hit this di.strict Tuesday night and be- t'ore llie niciit was over many barns were unroofed, hydro lines were flattene<l and considerable other damage was done. Fifteen poles on the Hydro line to Fleshei-ton were broken on the road to Eugenia and this entire ditti'ict was without light and power for almost ;j7 hours. The repair gang was on the j«b early Wednes- day morning and worked throi<gh the night and all day Thursday to restore electric service, and the high wind and snow did not make the task any pleasanter foi- those oil the job. A number of poles south of Markdale were blown down, but service was restored there Wednes- day nig'ht. The lai'ge barn on ' tlie property of Robt. Clai-k nil the Collingwood Gravel, formerly owned by Lewis Pedlar, was entirely unroofed and spread around, while Mr. .fas. W. McMullen's barn had ten feet of roof ripped away. The ham' on the fai-m of Geo. Moore, near Victoria Corn- ers was carried away by the high wind and narrowly missed dumsiging the residence. We understand that George had wind insurance, which should help considerably in making repairs. Ward Harrison, south of town, had part of the roof carried away and many barns had their large doors torn from their hangers and damaged. Roy Piper on the west backline had his windmill fan completely destniycd when the vane broke ofT and went into the works; making it useless to work. Roy is now g-oing to use electric jiowei- t'l l)ump water to his stables. The steeple on the Anglican Church at Myrk<lale was toppled to the grounil and one of the large s"moke stacks at the Durham Furniture Companx mill at Rock Mills is minus con- siderable of .its length. Trees were l;lown arross highways, distrupting telephone service, most of the long distance lines in the Fles-herloii central being out of eoinmission. The stoi-m has been compared to the great Novembei- storm of I'.ll:! and the notorious Good Friday storm of a couple of years pievious to that time. This one vyiir not soon be t'l rgotten either. This was the first ri'a! interruption oli electric .service I'lesherton has exjierienced since Hydro was brought to the village thirty-three years ago.
