Charged with wilfully causing dam- age to the summer cottage of John Pugsley at Tollendal on Good Friday three boys, ranging in age from 17 to 19, appeared `before Magistrate Jeffs Tuesday morning, pleaded guilty and were remanded for sentence until Fri- day of this week, owing to their par- ents not being present.

April 2 Kempenfeldt Bay did not freeze over I until Jan. 28 of this year, so that the ifreeze-up period extended for only 84 days, or less than three months. De- spite this the ice crop was one of the best in many years. ___.. `, .0..- . This spring the ice in the bay, bad- ly honeycombed due to mild weather and much rain, showed signs of break- 1 ing up for weeks and it only required the downpour of Sunday and Mon- day and a strong wind to complete the job. Ice on Lake Simcoe, however, is| still very much intact. I I The ice went out of the bay on Tuesday, April 2. In only one year in the past twenty has the date been earlier, that in 1921, when the break- up came as early as March 24. The year previous it went out on April 2, the same date as this year. | l'I'\\_!_ _" ,- ls Earliest in 20 Years Save That of 1921. 1 as u 5:. a.uua.u._y uclug ICSLUTEG. At the north end of Bayeld a large limb was torn from a giant elm nearly one hundred feet high and fell across the high tension. At the entrance to the County buildings a tree was torn up by its roots. A tree fell across a distribution line on Main street. -Wires collapsed on Mulcaster, Clap- perton, Henry, Elizabeth, Toronto, Owen, Gowan, William, Worsley, Dun- lop East, Victoria, St. Vincent, High, ya. U V AJ.J\aUa The storm broke Sunday evening with a heavy rain which froze as it fell. Driven by a high wind early Monday morning the ice-covered trees and wires proved easy prey. sagging, ice-covered limbs of trees snapped like matchwood and many fell across com- munication and power wires. Poles snapped under the weight,and carried miles of wire to the ground. Trees were torn up by their roots. The tem- perature rose Monday noon and the .ice melted but in the afternoon a snow storm broke and continued until well after midnight. This was not nearly so destructive but the damage had been done and conditions made the work of repairing doubly difficult. Power Service Restored . From early Monday morning until noon Barrie was without electric pow- er. Service was restored over the high tension lines of the Severn System but the local service was hard hit and much of the town was in darkness Monday night. Wires were down on over a score of the town s streets. These are gradually being restored. At thn nnrfh and n4-' 'nnn4=-1.: .. 1-....- .l `ICE GOES OUT ON APRIL 2, uni aunugtuvvvllv Ald.

As a result of the storm which broke Sunday evening over Barrie and dis- trict, in common with other parts of Ontario, and continued with unabated fury for over twenty-four hours, many thousands of dollars damage has been caused power, telegraph and telephone lines.

A despatching wire was put into commission on Monday evening and `a. limited commercial service made available Tuesday morning, but it was quite inadequate to handle the ac- cumulation of business and breaks" | were frequent. The request or Innlsfll Township! Council that farmers be allowed to peddle meat by the quarter from door to door in Barrie was turned down by the Town Council Tuesday night. The view was taken that the town provid- ed a market for the sale or meat at considerable expense and that its sale: could best be. controlled there as well as inspected.

Many citizens who de- pend solely on electricity for cooking were forced to eat downtown or con- tent themselves with cold meals. Many amusing incidents were told of house- wives trying to cook a meal at the fireplace, the furnace or in other makeshift methods. $5,000 Damage to Severn System Damage to the high tension lines of the Severn System of the Hydro is roughly estimated as well over $5,000 by H. Tideman, Hydro patrolman. Seventy-seven poles are down near Stayner, forty between Brechin and Orillia and a considerable number north of Midhurst. Wires snapped at Shanty Bay, on the Camp Borden line and at. many other places. The service was restored under the great- est of difficulties owing to lack of communication and travelling condi- tions. The trouble was sectionalized and the current rerouted over standing lines. From Monday noon the trou- ble has been local. There were thir- teen breaks in the Shanty Bay sec- tion owing to tree trouble and a similar condition of affairs existed on the Camp Borden line. Bell Telephone Hard Hit The Bell Telephone Co. was hardest hit. Service on toll or long distance lines is still badly paralyzed and it will be weeks before the full extent of the damage is known. Manager A. A. Smith and Plant Supt. Price would not attempt to estimate the damage. It will run into many thou- sands of dollars and millions in the province. It is the first time in tele- phone history of Barrie that the tie- up has been complete. Not one toll ,line was working out of Barrie for ! days following the storm. 0 U-\_ _.,,2 may rumors ARE E53 A - $09!". GIIANEES GRADIHG SYSFEM Chorus--Tel1 us the answer, Mr. Craven.

It was suggested that the farmers work by groups, that each ;.group agree upon a variety which would be acceptable on the market and satisfactory to the producer; that potatoes be graded to Canada A or better and that a local organization .be formed for shipping and selling. [Denite action was postponed pending the conference with the coznmission men. At a meeting of agricultural repre- sentatives and other officials interested in the potato situation, held in Toron- to last Thursday, following a lengthy ` discussion, it was decided to call the commission dealers into conference to nd out their attitude toward Ontario's potatoes and to form a possible agree- ment with the dealers to handle grade A Ontario potatoes next year in an ef- fort to relieve and correct the present situation in Slmcoe and other counties.

Shaw Foils Police Attired in the uniform of a British army captain, probably stolen from a Lake Simcoe cottage, Shaw's disguise was nigh perfect, but when the chase got too hot he abandoned the car and took to the bush. At time of writing he is still at large although the pro- vincial police have declared war to the hilt. Inspector Stringer, promin- ent in the Beeton cases, is in charge of the man-hunt. He has instructions to get his man. He is being assist- ed by Inspector Rae, formerly of Bar- rie, and a large squad of constables. Towed Auto Away? Chief Stewart, from an examination of the freshly raked ground in the yard of Underhill s garage at the shoe factory, holds the theory that Shaw first broke open the lock of the gar- age and towed the big Packard away with a ton-and-a-half Ford truck. Tire marks support this. The truck stalled on the incline leading to Dunlop St., and Shaw had to take several runs" at the hill before making the grade. Once on the pavement all track was lost. If a truck was used as a tow it has not been found abandoned. Much Wanted Fugitive Shakes Simcoe Dust From Shoes. Spends God Friday in Town - Departs ' in Packard.
