~PAGZ voux i. Current and5 Confidential By Elsie Carruthers Lunney A NIGHT TO REMEMBER When Hurricane Hazel was zig-zagging around out in the Atlantic, the news didn't mean much ta any af us here. Wben it was reported heading for Haiti and the Daminicen Republic, we saw in aur memony's eye the dock and market at Port au Prince, the capital ai Haiti, where we stapped for a few hours same years ago. We tried ta visuelize whet a hurricane would be like striking those buildings, the black inhabitants fheeing or cawening whene they could fînd sheter-these de- scendants af the people wha railied behind the banner ai the great black emperor. Henni Christophe, ta deiy another em- perar, Napalean, in fan-off France. We tried ta imagine it, but it didn't mean very much because we had neyer experienced a hur- ricane or anything approaching it. And when the reports said that Hazei was heeded for Ontario, we just dicýn't believe it. Neither did a lat of ather people, we think, or they wouldn't have been abnoad ast Friday night. Granted Hazel had slowed down ta about hall her original velar- ity except for the gusts, it was still a mightier gale than anyone here had even experienced. We were very fortunate in this area. we ail reahize that after hearing of the terrible destruc- tion and loss afi lue in Toronto. Nevertheless, it is a night that most ai us will remember for a long time ta came. We think it wili be ance« nnivensary which the Editor and Mrs. James wili have littie diiiiculty in rccaliing toa. Reports kept coming in that trees biocked veniaus streets araund tawn, and in front ai the Community Centre itself a sec- tion was blocked off by felen m M TAG DAY Scturdoy Oct. 23 for U.N. FUND "For ail the World's Childreni" by members ai Business and Proiessianal Women's Club. THE CANAD!AN SATEMAI<I EOWMANVILL, ONTAMO I imba. The starm kept mounting in feracity, and finaily, ta no ones surprise, the lighta went out. It was then that the more tban cettury aid bouse took an same- thing oi its original aura. Flick- ering cendles made pools afi hght and bnaad patches ai shadow. In the big entrence hall, the winding staircase disappeared inta the biackness above. We pictured* the ladies af long ago who had swept regaliy down thase stairs and out ta the car- niage waiting et the daor ai "Rethskamory". W e we ne braught back ta the present by guests being literelly bhown in, after we had hurriedhy pulied beck the iock wbich was neces- sary ta keep wild Hezel out. In reading up a IiWIc on hur- ricanes we find that in the West Indies negian they may occur from May ta December and the chances are 8 in 10 in August that a tropical starm wilh pro- duce winds of hurricane strength, that is, aven 75 miles per hour. Hurricanes reach their peak irequency in Septem- ber and Octoben, and we cen wchi beieve that with the num- ber there have been this autumn. Their "cradhe" zone is in the doldrums southeast ai the Wind- ward and Leewand Islands and they usually foliow a path ta Florida and then up the coast, decreasîng as they mave away from the tropics and over' land. One authority says it is nat un- usuel fon 8 ta 10 inches ai nain ta fail during the passage ai a storm. It was the rein and ne- suiting flood which wrought sa much destruction in Toronto, ai course. One thing sure, we wili ahi feei we know a littie mare about hurricanes since Oct. 15. A HUNDRED VEARS AND NOTHING DONE An editaniai in lest week's issue ai "Saturdey Nigbt" speaks strangly in favor ai planning and dcveloping parks in cities, ai developing naturel sites, as- Stratiord in Ontario bas donc aiong the river, ai preserving green, belts" as population graws.' The editanial speaks ai the megnificent, indeed "astro- nomical" figure ai 'close ta $5 million which Phihadeiphia is pnepered ta spend on its wonder- fui parks companed with the trickle wbich Toronto grents ber parks. The writer states that green aneas should be guandcd Jealously and wanton destruction, ai trees reganded as a criminel oifence. We are in complete agreement with al af these sentiments. As we have so aiten stated, the dis- interest ai aur own town in de- vcloping the naturai perklandi along Barbcr's Crcek, is simply amazing.

This is none other than Frank Downs, native ai Bowmanvilie, e broth- er ai Miss Laie Downs who is no.less famous for ber miliinery than hier brother for his ability in piana-tuning. Frank Downs began bis career with pianos when he hielped bis father in Bowmanville's Domin- ion Piano and Orgen Ca. which shipped instruments ail aven the world. He hes been 53 years with the firm aif Grinnel Broth- ens who now have 30 stores, and is head ai the nepair and tuning department. The firm is proud- ly celebreting its 75th anniver- sary, this year and in this con- nection Mn. Down bas been a chief source ai information for thein Wonld's Fair ai Music which hed extensive disphays ai ancient and modern instruments in the store hast week. Mr. Downs bas seen many changes since be joined this famous music firm in 1901 as a salesman. The panlor ongan came and went, though it had a con- siderabie revival during the wan when chapiains wanted the littie organs ion services behind the lin -es. Pianos have recently nisen in sales, mare pianos being soid in the U.S. in 1950 than since 1927. Another article in the Detroit News tells ai Mn. Downs won- derfui ear in tuning ýpianos. and. the decline af this profession ta- day. He recenthy tested a me- chanical device for Piano tuningl but threw up bis bands in despair. "It won't teke the place ai a man," he said. The piano tuning business isi not keeping pace with the, country'S revised interest in Piano music, Mn. Downs stated in the interview appearing In the, Detroit paper. "Thene's a shortage ai tuners," he said. "When the present crop retires, the country is gaing ta hear a lot ai off-key music. Young fellows just aren't leenn-- ing the trade." This is a mystery ta Mn.! Downs, wbo says thet It is al good living. After the wer, al number ai ex-GI's enrolied eti piano tuning achools. but most ai them dnopped out aiten a few months. Last yer, 180,000o pianos were sold in the United 1 $tates.
