Plows were working around the clock on ‘Summerside main streets but heavy drifting yes- terday during the day caused many a motorist to wish he had left his vehicle in the garage, as many were stuck in the heavy drifting snow. Several cars were also stuck between Summerside and the Airport.

Schools in Summerside, Ken- sington, Miscouche and St. Eleanors were closed for the day but most stores were open as usual although very few peo- ple were seen on the streets. The wind had abated somewhat at supper time last evening as the storm centre seemed to have moved out of the district.

At the same time telephone ser- vice in a wide area of Prince County, surrounding the scene of the fire, was seriously disrupted. Difficult weather conditions and blocked roads resulted in some delays in making repairs.

The microwave circuits serv- ing the Egmont Bay repeater station were the ones knocked out. Before noon w e s t e r n circuits feeding the station were restored, and E.G.

The start on repairs was made at an early hour yesterday when a company crew from Sum- merside moved into the area and started getting local circuits back in operation.

At the same time a crew to handle heavy construction was rushed to Wellington from Char- lottetown, to proceed with the restoration of the heavier circuits of the microwave system and the multi-core cables in the Welling- ton district.

Alberton Area‘ Has Worst Storm In Years

The worst snow storm for some years brought all activity to a complete standstill in Western Prince County yesterday.

A heavy snow fall accompanied by strong north as -east winds quickly blocked all main and secondary roads late Thursday night. Four to six foot banks were reported in many places on the main paved highway.

As far as could be learned all schools in the entire area were closed yesterday and only a few stores in the centres of Alberton, O’Leary and Tignish opened for business. Two Alberton transfer trucks were bogged down near O’Leary Corner about midnight Thursday shortly -after the snow ploughs had made their last trip of the evening.

The storm abated late yester- day afternoon and the Alberton and Tignish plows were out open- ing up the highway from Tignish through to O’Leary Corner. The Bloomfield based plow was en- route from Summerside to Bloom- field. This plow had been taken to Summerside for repairs.
