Running into the nearest phone, he called up Durham Hydro Station ar:d had the current shut off on Holstein switch. Eugenia was notified and in an bhour or so a gang of men had arâ€" rived who cleared away the debris, and placed temporary power lines unâ€" til new permanent poles were erectâ€" ed a day or two later. The sowd was cleared by 7 p.m. but for the afternoon, Officer Culp closed the highway to traffic for a block and made a detour via 2nd con Egremont.

Some people in a short period of time, exert untold inâ€" fluence, while others in a life long in years, may accomplish little, We were gathered here to ponder over the deeds and actions of those gone, yet still breathing messages of bravâ€" ery, unselfishness and valor. Free dom was endangered, right trampled upon, and to guard these virtues, they went forth with a great purpose. This dearly bought freedom was not ours to be regarded lightly. It was the spirit of sacrifice and the speakâ€" er made it vividly clear that it was in line with the great supreme sacâ€" rifice of Christ himself and it was obligatory on our part to take up this spirit. Rev. Father McGoey was also cal led upon but was not present. Mayor Murdock introduced the »câ€" casion and asked Rev. B,. D. Armâ€" strong, an exâ€"service man, to co »e forward and act as chairman of ce»â€" monies. This was done and the asâ€" semblage sang "O God, our help in ages past."
