SWEPT OUR DAM Husband Saves Oshawa Woman | A 60-year-old Oshawa man res- cued his wife early Sunday after- noon after the boat in which they had been riding tumbled over the 30-foot Hastings Dam on the Trent river, Both Kenneth Durno and his wife, Mary, 57, were thrown from the boat and swept onto the rocky rapids. LEFT LEG BROKEN The Durnos suffered shock and a severe shaking-up. Mr:. Durno sustained a broken left leg. They were treated by Dr. L. D. Patterson of Hastings. Onlookers said the couple left a dock a short distance above the dam in their 16-foot boat, equip- ped with a 35-horsepower motor. Mr. Durno said the motor quit on him. The boat was then caught in the strong current and swept over the dam.

CLUNG TO BOAT The two clung to the overturned boat and Mr. Durno managed to paddle and push the eraft to shore, only to have the current take them out again. "Then this fellow grabbed me. I said: 'Never mind me, get my wife." "This fellow" was George Duff, an 18-year-old General Motors employee, who helped the exhausted couple to shore.

Be prepared for such a change." A frequent cause of mountain motor mishaps, said the council, a non-governmental organization cincerned with the prevention of all types of accidents, is speed- ing on a downgrade. "Braking too hard, while enter- ing a downhill curve too fast can throw a car into an uncontrollable skid," it warned. "Or a driver may panic as his speed quickens and swerve into the path of an oncoming car," it said. BRAKING HINTS The council has these tips on how to avoid braking problems on a downgrade 1. Apply the brakes intermit- tently. Constant application of brakes builds heat which wears out brake bands and can cause hydraulic fluid to boil. . 2. Shift to a lower gear before starting down, whether your car has a standard or automatic transmission. Other common causes of moun- tain accidents, said the council, are driving on the wrong side of the road or too near the centre, and passing other vehicles, "Perhaps", it observed, "it's a natural fear of driving off the cliff that causes the inexperienced mountain driver to shun the edge and stray into the wrong lane. 1, Before leaving on your trip, {minutes before and left it lying |larged, while other new sleeping | dormitories have been erected, |along with washrooms, office and Entertained The Grade 8 graduating class earlier hearing, indicated that| Burrows, in an effort to protect Dube, had reported the morning after the accident, that his car Herman Dube and| By EDDY GILMORE LONDON (AP) -- Theodora Eagleden, 31, believes in the direct approach--so she had herself delivered in a basket to the home of the man she loves.
