(Reuters) The coo villagers of Porto Tolls slept fully dreued 'iihu:rsduy night - ready In the clamor of bells which would worn them to flee from the raging waters of the River Po. ' Along the banks of the swollen river. the lanterns of hundreds of fl...-.:'. watchmen twinkled through the darkneu, reflected in pinpoints of light carom the swirling waters. The moon shone fitfuliy through the few gaps in the heavy dark clouds.
In this village of me Po delta. residents face a shuttle threstF- the torrent that may sweep over them if the rising river bursts its banks and the incoming high tides of the Adriatic that have already gulped up nearly 3.000 acres of fertile fazrlnland.
Still vivid in the minds of the Porto Tolle villagers is the memory of November. 1951, when the river and tide launched a combined on- slaught on the valley. Two hund- red and seventy persons were drowned and 223.000 driven from their homes before the waters be- gan to retreat.
Villlage Rebuilt
An estimated ,000.000 dam- age was caused land, crops and buildings.
Porto Tolle, like all the other water-logged townships of the val- ley, buried its dead, then set about the task of rebuilding. Within a year they had finished.
Now, all along the valley, the Po and its tributaries are again inflated with millions of tons of water pouring from the molmtains.
The villagers here know that they are gambling with their lives by staying. But their desire to stay on their land is dominant. still. there are no delusions about what might happen-every cottage has A frail little boat lying near the front door.

Interesting History Attaches To St.4StephenCs Church At Irishtown
lln 1&3 the Reverend William Meek, horn in London. England. who had been working for the S. P. G. as a missionary in New- foundhmd, was appointed to New London parish: With Mr. Meek's ministry a new era of systematic
parish work began. The building per
of the Parsonage at New London was soon commenced. and it was completed in 1854. The word "rec- tory" was not used until the pres- ent une was built in K-nsingtorn in 1886.
Boin l854i7heMeelc fa.miiyws.s.ss Mr. Meek reported. "comfortably settled." In that same year-'a be- ginning was made on the building of the church in Ir-ishtown, Tile land first would have to be clear- ed. Some of us not so old can remember when high spruce trees stood in the churchyard. The harem were tied to them on sun-
y. Wlth the tfhrree stone masons mentioned before. and no doubt others, for most of thwe men could turn a hand to almost any trade, the stone foundations would be well and carefully laid, The scavntling would be hand hewn, the boards and shingles hand sewn The lime for the plaster was hum- ed in a kiln on Thomas Millman's farm.
Not so many years ago a de- pression in that field sihowed where the kiln had been. So they framed and built. doing the work them- selves, with lumber and other materials at hand and with vol- untary labor, not a great outlay of money was needed. The build- ing was 40 feet long and new feet Wide. with A small chancel. and a gallery across the west end. In

In 1850 he wrote again: "The Oornmlttee has granted Q10 in aid of the new dlurch in Iridltown which has been regularly attended since its opening in March last by Very full congregations gather- cd from the surrounding neigh- bourhood.” He also reported that "he has raised independently of what was raised in the locality and given by your Society (The Colorl- ial Churofl and School Society under whose auspices Mr. Meek came to the Isiandi about 2130 which is all expended. though the interior of the church is not yet finished."
Services at St. 'I'hnmas'.s and St Stephen's, he wrote, had been con- tinued on Sundays and we-r-k days wiilholrt interruption. as also ser- vices at Long River. Fen-noy, the Baltic. lmd occasionally at Cav-
endish. In his report of H357 he has this to say: "The new church at Irillhtown has nfton
been attended by a congregation of two hundred persons. many com- ing a considerable distance, but it is to be regretted that the poverty of the peryple prevented any fur- ther completion of the inferior.”
However in 1858 he told that the interior fittings nf the new church had been completed at illle ex- pense of :30, the congregation had averaged two hundred, and at the Third Pond more than the school- mom could comfortablv decom- modate, Again in 1860 he re- counted the same story. -con- gi ation fed the means of accommodation. and the church was not quite completed. In 1861 he wrote: "The church in Irish- tnwn was consecrated by Bishop Binlney last July. having been so far completed at an expense of 5360...

In that year he also gave neces- ional services at the vacant. mis- sion at H.aalam's, Springfield. Mr. Meek and his twp-wheeled gig was s. farnlllslr sight on the count- ryrosdsinthoseyecn.'.i'hc1ml report. however, has a note of sad- ness for his people: He wrote: "I acknowledge with ifhankfulrlem the constant health which has enabled me to preach and visit so often in this scattered district. I am constrained to admit that. increas- ing years and diminishing physi- cal powers forbid the hope (if con- tinuing the work. and nliftlnuoh my will is to preach on and preach more, I feel that I must leave in voulnger persz-ms what I am no longer equal to."
To the regret of the people. for he was loved and , by them all. he resigned and removed to the parish of Sydney Mines. Nova. scotia. The Church Society Report. of 1062 contained the fol- lowing: "It is with deep learnt the Committee have to nnlnounoe the departure of the Reverend William Meek mm the sphere of duty in,which he so long and faithfully laboured, and the Com- mittee cannot allow the ammun- lcy to page without recording their esteem for that devoted servant of the Lord and Nneif 901'- row that one who had been so active and efficient a. minister shmrld from failing health and strength find it necessary to trans- for his services to another part of title mlssitmary field."
