The home of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Wilson? had windows broken and parr of the roof damaged due to falling trees. In their partici$ ar case, the fact that Venetian blinds covered their winclfjws, helped prevent them from being splattered by shattered glass.

"For the greater part of the village, power was not restored for 23 hours, but some homes had service a bit earlier. Telephone service was interrupted for many hours also. "Your reporter and' three youngsters sought refuge in tW^well pit which is connected wtjth the basement for an hour and a half while the winds lafijhed the community!

Don Parenti. road commissioner, has asked that these obstacles be removed as soon as possible. In the ev^nt of a snow storm-- and it could happen soon--the collection of branches, etc., would interfere with snow plowing. Your co-operation is requested in this matter.

"To Make A Mountain Out Of A Mole-Hill" Author's Name Below There once was a man who suffered from indigestion. Everytime he read an ad about how to relieve it, he bought a different patent medicine. He hated radio and television because the announcers reminded him of his stomach-aches. He tried their remedies too, but still suffered. He worried, because he thought he might have ulcers. One day he said to himself, "I will consult a physician." The physician examined him, prescribed the particular medicine that could help him most, and he got better.

Saturday afternoon, residents in the area of Park View West were horrified to spot & large red fox roaming around. Mrs. Virginia Parkhurst notified the police. In the meantime, Mr. Cermak appeared on the scene armed with a shot gun. By some act of Providence, Lee Larson happened along, just as the animal was lined up in the gun sights.
