P- ----- ---- .Bethany -News dlBy mms.Pou, Cami Calm Bus Driver An item in the Campbellford ]4ews was brought to our at- tention.. . just another Hur- ricane Hazel story that bas a local interest. "Maurice Whiteside, driver with the Colonial Coach Lines for the iast 18 months, earned the deep gratitude of three dozen East Northumberland district scbool teachers on Fni- day night, when he piloted his bus through, around, and over many obstacles thrown in his path by Hurricane Hazel. The group was caught in the storm whiie they were returning from a teachers' convention. in Nia-1 gara Falls.1 "Aithough they ieft the Falisj about 4 p.m. it was long after midnight when they arrived inj Campbellford. The teechers1 were ioud in their praise of the skili with which the driver handied his vehicie and were also grateful ta himn for the way in which he kept the spirits of the group high during the trip. His calmness did much ta en- sure the composure of the lady passengers. Not once during the trip did he give his passen- gens a chance ta realize the seiousness of the situation they were in. "The bridge aven the Hum- ber River at the western en- trance ta Toronto was render- ed unserviceable within a veryc short time after the bus had passed aver it. Several parts of trees fell in front of the bus and he oftea had ta get outj and cut bis way clean with an axe. Most of the time it was l raining 50 bard be could bare- I ly see his- way. "Because o! the starm several detours were made anaund country noads. Although be must have been nenvaus bim- self many times, he neyer ai- lowed bis own anxiety ta be appreciated by the passengens." Maurice Wbiteside, living ini Peterborough since be became employed by Colonial Bus Liriez as formerly fnam Betbany, a son o! the late Mn. and Mrs. Willis Whitesides.
