WW. 7231155 POLICE REPORT Sandy Stone, 61, of 107 Crandel Street received cuts and bruises in .a car- pedestrian accident Friday night. . According to Whitby detachment Ontario. Provin- cial Police, Mr. Stone was walking across Water Street from east to west when he was struck by a southbound car driven by John Wallis, 35, of 498 Scugog Street. Mr. Stone was taken to the Community Memorial Hos- pital where: he was treated and released. HYDRO A spokesman at the Bow- manville office of Ontario 'Hydro said Monday morning that the cause of the power failure that interrupted ser- vice in this area as most of the eastern end of Ontario and parts of the United States has not yet been deter- mined. He said the problem was with the bulk power system. Cause of the brief interrup- tion of power Monday night, however, is suspected to have been caused by the high Sisters reunited after 44 years (continued in my life when I haven't thought about who my sister is, or what she is doing ...what she's like." : Helen said she'd contacted the Children's Aid on several occasions, requesting infor- mation, "however, and all efforts ended up in failure. Recent changes in the reg- ulations involving adoption have relaked some of the restrictions, allowing the 'adopted to contact their rela- / tives. { . So, one day four weeks ago, she got a phone call from the Children's Aid in Oshawa. "We've got a sur- prise for you," said the voice on the other end. "We've found your sister for you," * Helen describes her state at the time at near hysteria. Under regulations, the child- ren's aid couldn't give out. the name of Mrs. Simpson since it was up to Mrs. Simpson to contact her sis- ter. The only thing she was told was that her sister lives in Uxbridge and that a meet- ing would be set up. * "I'was terribly excited," said Helen. I got on the phone wind. According to the official, line crews were out on Monday checking the lines between Oshawa and Port Perry. and called my other sister in Oshawa and it had about the same effect on her. She was almost hysterical, tab. Although, Mrs. McKean was desperate to see her sister for the first time in 44 years, she was scheduled to fly-to Newfoundland the fol- lowing day to visit her sick daughter. In her desperation she tried to find out who her sister was on her own. She tried to find anyone knowing 4 woman named Dorothy living in Uxbridge, the.age, and was adopted. She was determined to find her sister before leaving for Newfound- land. ) One of the people she called was a neighbour across the raod from the McKean farm. She let the phone ring about eight times, but no one answered. If she had let it ring a few more times and got a hold: of her 'neighbour, the search weuld have been over. Friends of Mrs. Simpson for some 17 years, Mrs. McKean's neigh- bours could have identified the long-lost sister. She went to Newfoundland for two of the most anxious weeks of her life. What do you talk about after 44 years? "Everything," laughed Mrs. McKean. 'You've got an entire lifetime to talk about," She worried about what she was going to do when the two met face-to-face, buty found it very easy when the day came. A long embrace . and a few tears was the first thing, followed by marathon conversation. 'Minutes later we were like we'd known each other all our lives. From the minute I saw her I knew she was my sister." The more the sisters talk, the more there's to talk about. They now get together regularly and talk over the phone almost daily. She loves her sister like she'd known her all her life, said Helen. And she's a very likeable person, too, she adds. We couldn't have pick- ed a nicer sister had we have had the choice. . So over the next few years, the sister will: undoubtedly get to know one another ° much better, Olympic Lottery "Tickets AVAILABLE AT THE Port Perry Star 985.7303 save the 12 months - 12,000 mile nation wide written parts guarantee on our selected used cars take delivery before Dec. 31, 1975 and 7% Ontario sales tax plus freight and and lic.
