Ajax Man Had Amazing Escape AJAX (Times-Gazette 'Staff Re- porter) -- Anthony Gorda of Wood- house Crescent, Ajax is'a very lucky man, Last evening he decided his tele- vision aerial needed some attention. Working on the roof and attempting to tighten the braces, the whole thing collapsed, falling across a. primary hydro line carrying 2,800 volts.' The current was shorted and the shingles started to burn so he pulled the aerial back off the wire, Just then the transformer cut out and plunged a large section of the south area in darkness. Jack- MacKay, Hydro foreman was called and when he learned the de- tails looked at Gorda in astonishment. He said "You shouldn't be here, you ought to be dead." MacKay said later that he would not have touched 'the aritenna for all the money in the world until the power was off, Gorda said, "I had to do something --my house was burning." Other hydro employees arrived and power was restored.
