Catholic Church At Grand River Struck By Lightning Bolt

A sudden, freak, electrical storm, the first of the season, quickly changed yesterday's sunny Sunday afternoon skies to dark gale driven. rain bearing clouds. and about 3.30 P.M. produced one visible bolt of lighting that struck and ignited the single spire of St. Patrick's

Roman Catholic Church at Grand

River.

This steeple. which is about 100 feet in height. lost about the top 5 feet to the flames that develop- ed from the lightning bolt.

Fire departments from.Tyne Val- ley, Wellington, and Summerside, responded to the call for assist- ance. The Tyne Valley Fire De- partment was the first to arrive. and was successful in extinguish- ing the blaze which because of its height, was hard to conirol.

When talking to the Guardian last evening. Rev. W. D. MacDon- ald. the parish priest. gave credit to the work of the Tyne Valley fire equipment for saving the building.

He reported no damage had been done to the interior of the church. and that damage to the steeple was covered by insurance.

He estimated that the replace- ment value of the steeple might run to three or four thousand dollars. and said the work of rebuilding

' will begin as soon as possible.

A large number of parishioners quickly gathered and assisted in every way they could.

It is believed that water with which to fight the fire was readily available in a nearby stream. - S.

N. ll. Church Damaged

NEWCASTLE. N. .B., April 20- (CP)-Lightning struck the Ro- man Catholic Church at Collette, on the Newcastle-Rogersvills high- way. this afternoon and caused

damage estimated at 330,000, al-

though' no fire resulted.

The same bolt, apparently fol- lowing a power line. struck three more times in the some district. Albert Pitrie, an invalid, suffered leg and chest burns as he lay in bed. Damage of 5200 occurred at the home of Robert Pitrie, a rel- ative and next door neighbor. The flash then caused an arm injury to Mrs. Emmanuel Gaudet.

The lightning struck during New Brunawlck's first reported elec- trical storm of the season.

"It could go in five hours or five days," said Jim Switzer, engineer of the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration.

swift Current civil defence com- mittee headquarters said the sit- uation had not improved. Crews were working at the dam without let-up.

No water now is flowing over the threatened 3200000 concrete spill- way. undermined by soil erosion around its lower perimeter. Dan- ger to the dam is focussed in these eroded areas and engineers are try- ing to reinforce the weak spots with timbers.

To relieve pressure there, engin- eers last night cut an emergency splllway to carry the outflow of the overloaded reservoir. Engineers are also building a buffer dam be- hind the concrete spillway in yet another effort to relieve it. Also helping run off the excess water is a conduit pipe running from the floor of the reservoir.

Twenty-live miles north of the dam on the Swift Current. Creek is the city, a saucer-like community with its centre in it hollow.

Swift Current was mobilized for an emergency and placed on a two- hour alert. During the last week families from 300 to 400 homes have been moved from the city's low area. These have been quartered in homes on higher ground and in the incompleted union hospital.

Two thousand blankets. 400 doub- ledccker beds. 1.000 mattresses, five portable cookers, 150 lanterns, 100 pair of high rubber boots. two as- saiiit boats and six stretchers are on hand. ,

Duiicairn reservoir. built lo yearsl ago by the P.F.R..A., is it! miles long. three-quarters of it mile wide and roughly 35 feet deep. The dam is 5.000 feet long.
