NUMBERS CALLED When the gale force winds lashed Southern Ontario and cut a trail of damage across the pro- vince last Sunday, Richmond Hill was not altogether overlooked. Three local hydro power interrup- tions on Sunday afternoon were reported by Supt. Vern Snider, one on Sneddon Station and two on Yonge Street Station, due to high winds and falling limbs of trees. All interruptions were of short duration -- reflecting the efficiency of the Richmond Hill Hydro staff. Wide areas â€" in- cluding North York â€" were blacked out for several hours. and thousands of housewives were left to prepare cold dinners by lamp and candlelight as the power was snuffed out. Week End Gales Cause Of Damage Over the same period of time. the staff of the Richmond Hill Rural Area fo the Ontario Hydro were also hard at work “bucking the gale" and repairing fallen power transmission lines. Area Manager L. Roy reported 25 power interruptions due to falling limbs and trees, also from several TV antennas that were toppled by the gale across the lines that are located in the 275 square miles serviced by this division. In Richmond Hill a number of small property damages was re- ported, panes of glass being bro- ken in local greenhouses, and the plate glass in the main door of the Richmond Theatre Grill was smashed in by the forte of the high winds. .

Hill, Medical Officer of Health for North York, there were 5.532 births in the munici- pality last year. compared with 4,818 in 1957 and 4,694 in 1956. n v a... “v--- week, Mr. Goddard, the Akela. drove six boys to the Globe and Mail building. where they were shown through the plant, which proved very educational. as well as a kind gesture on his part. $60!,A to man all pumps and steamer equipment available to prevent the recurrence of flooded base- ments that took place the prev- ious week. Official explanation for this sudden interior flooding is that the sewer mains became overloaded due to excess seepage from around the weeping tile of the homes. Contributing factors are also due to the indifference of many home-owners in neglect- ing to cut channels in the ice, re- move the snow and ice that lies in close proximity to their homes. also to provide extensions to their down piping to ensure that all roof water is carried off to a distance beyond the walls. It is of interest to note that in the previous thaw â€"â€" all surface wa- ter was adequately carried off through the existing channel ‘drainage system. On Sunday. in order to reduce the pressure in the mains and possible basement flooding. dilu- ted sewage was pumped from the mains into the open drainage sys- tem. but at no time were there serious odors emitted. Exaggerated reports that sew- age was being pumped into open ditches, irritated residents to in- dignantly protest by telephone re- garding this proeedure. However. when questioned about a possible health menace. Dr. R. M. King. York County MOH. commented. “Perhaps pumping the sewage into open ditches rather than have. it back up into basements is the lesser of two evils.” CARL E. HILL M.D. M.O.H.
