THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1931 FAGE THREE itby Daily Times and sews will be at the For March Old King Winter did his worst on Sunday, and as a result Whitby ex- rienced one of the heaviest snow- alls in years. Streets, with the ex- ception of the two highways are blocked with huge drifts piled up in numerous places, One drift in front of a service station on Dundas Street West is several feet high. : Reports from all parts of the dis- trict 'are to the effect that countr roads everywhere are blotked with snow dritts, The snow is as deep as three feet on the level in some places. On the Whitby-Lindsay highway bus traffic was stopped on Sunday afters noon, while a milk-truck driver re- ported that it took him three hours to come from Brooklin to Whitby, a distance of seven miles, It will be several days, unless a big thaw comes before country roads are open, The snow is very welcome to farmers who have been hauling water for their stock all winter, as the wells and cisterns will be replenished when the thaw comes. A sudden thaw, it was pointed out, last night by a Whitby 'Township of« ficial, might result in much damage to bridges and culverts, After an all night blizzard, which set in shortly ater one o'clock, citizens of Whitby were obliged to dig themselves out, Church goers were few, and empty pews many owing to the deep snow and the sidewalks and heavy east wind with accompanying snow. Mo- torists who ventured out came to grief in many instances, In the vie cinity of the churches cars were stuck and had to be dug out, The snow shovel, which had been more or lgss idle all winter, had its innings. Trains goming from the east and west were late, At the United Church the minister from the city for the day was delayed on account of the storm, his train not having left "Toronto shortly before the hour for service to begin, His place was taken by Rev. Dr. Carscallen, principal of the Ontario Ladies' College. On the highway the T.T.C. main- tained a fairly regular service all day, although the Department of High- ways ploughs did not fo through un- til the storm subsided in the éven- ing. Traffic officers reported several cars stuck and ditched on the King- ston highway, but fortunately, no serious accidents were reported. Whitby garage tow trucks had a busy day assisting unlucky motorists, One truck went out to get a car and got stuck on the way out just west of the town, Today the streets department will have to move some of the deep snow from the business streets, The trac. tor will be required to clear a path south to the Ontario Hospital, INDUCTION SERVICE WAS POSTPONED ON ACCOUNT STORM Owing to the storm, which blocked the streets of the town and roads of the district making it impossible for one of the newly elected elders to be present, the induction service at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, plan- ned for Sunday morning, had to be postponed until next Sunday morn- ing. At the United Chureh Sunday ev- ening an inspiring sermon was deliv« ered by Rev, E. S. Bishop, formerly of the Metropolitan Church, Regina, Notwithstanding the storm there was a large congregation, Next Sunday Rev. Archer Wallace will oreach in, the morning, and Rev, A, 4. Irwin, of Oshawa, in the evening.
