the acton free press acton ontario thuhbpay october 21st 1054 out with hazel like thousands of other folks in this section we knew that hurricane hazel had a possible date with this area last friday we are not accustomed to visits of hurricanes here so of course did not consider it would interfere with dates we had in toronto and bowmanville for friday we know better now we have an aversion to anything be ginning with the letter h and we think it was a mean thing for weather forecasters to libel all the girls named hazel by such a storm of course it rained on friday but that was not unusual for the past few weeks it has rained most every day but such a downpour as we drove through from toronto to bowmanville we have never witnessed for ramfalt and duration we be lieve any statistics that are given but we were just as complacent as thousands of other ontario residents about floods until friday however the ram ceased at bowmanville and the only evidence of highway damage was an em bankment slide which just about covered one side of the dual lane highway it was guarded by a policeman and one ime of traffic was maintained we decided to return b thomhrll and come home b a of no htghvay we are very thankful that we never reached no 7 highway at agin court a svs irlng river was roaring across the road and car owners were endeavoring to get their vehicles bacied out a trip around the block and another nver crossed the road and as we left the scee a bg gasoline tanker was in midstream ever te spoi had a stream racing across the roao 01 he road norm and back roads were out of the question finalh we met cars coming back from the diecicr o nc higwav with the information that two tanspom were stuck in the impassable road we went al rhe wa back tc no 401 and itto orotc rcvi the east no high land a 3 a- nona on we felt tie best a ic de o c tooto an be bv no 5 hiahway a ve- e we reeled near the rersec to- c no 5 and 2 here a smal pond and a pc e cce lned back al rat c the of cer c v b ne undersood he queen 1 zabeh h an a a pasb e and ve could reach it v a k d ng ave we fet it was advisable not to explore an un known road on such a night and came back into the city to parks de drive traffic was moving freely over the humber bridge in half a dozen places however this highway was under water and the ditches were overflowing across in small rivers cars and trucks were proceeding with caution and getting through in most cases of course there were marooned cars and cars stop ped along the highway and in the ditches it was passable but no night for passing any vehicle on the road if the car ahead got through we knew that we were likely to make it it was a game of follow the leader at palermo another pond covered the road but the car ahead got through and we followed by this time autoferrying was getting a bit nerve wracking then we came to milton and found another pond of unknown depth at the outskirts we were thankful to divert into the high land of the new subdivision where the only occupied house was the home of our youngest son there we learned that by taking the road through the cemetery the last river on the high way could be avoided and highway 25 was in splendid condition right through we are speak ing literally when we write we in this week s comment since mrs dills was with us through the experience taking inventory next morning and afternoon we learned from news releases and the papers what we had come through and best of all what we had missed m cur stx hour trip which normally would have been about two hours we found that hurricanes and rains can cause loss of life and property damage in any part of the world next time hazel it scheduled for a visit our dates will be at home when the rains ceased the high winds follow ed and there was danger from falling trees poles and wires we reached home shortly after mid night we teamed that the bridge we had passed over was a few hours later closed to traffic when a section was carried away fortunately traffic over it was halted in time saturday morning on tario started to lake inventory of its losses as we write this on monday the toll has not all been as- sessed but known dead is given at 60 with over 40 missing the water on highways had in many places receded and the damage wrought in those few hours of torrential rain on a land that was water soaked before it fell was revealed to some extent traffic and communications were snarled on saturday it will be weeks before travel will again be normal but repairs were underway the follow ing day it will be years before many people will have property damage restored the loss of life has been terrific and can never be replaced those who came through unscathed have every reason to be thankful for their escape much help will be required to assist those who have suffered right here in ontario to rehabilitate themselves it was ontario s worst flood disaster what can be done ever since the storm hit various organizations such as the red cross salvation army and nume rous other reputable groups have been doing yeoman service in providing relief there are however some individuals who want profit to themselves even out of the disaster that has come to so many help will be needed in many ways and those who have been fortunate will be glad to assist the unfortunate be sure your help goes through a recognized and reputable source we do not know at this writing what form of local assistance will be qiven but this is a time to beware of the stranger soliciting funds or assistance the red cross had by sunday run into this trouble and issued a warn ng to curb fh s unauthorized door to door solicita t on when your local plan is announced as it will be this week and detailed in this issue we urge ou to support it to the limit of your ability these are your neighbors your friends and quite pos sibly your relatives who have suffered in this dis aster give your aid in every way possible through those whom you know will assure it reaches those who need kind hearts and willing hands are already at work the need is great throughout a large section of ontario not only now but for weeks to come in rehabilitation be fore winter sets m already donations that are needed have been sent in and more will follow the ontario hurricane relief fund has been set up as a central administration fund it has a big task not ust now but for the next year or more other papers say courteous driving has paid good dividends this year in the province of quebec where there were fewer road accidents than in previous years courteous driving is to drive so as not to be a nuisance or a menace to other drivers and to pedestrians granby que leader mail to ell intents and purposes the world is at peace but
