THETFORD.

The wind storm of the 18th was
terrific, blowing down trees. The
large old maple between Frank
Vaughan S and the church at Thet.
ford Hill, was blown down, the
branches lying across the telephone
wires and injuring them. 1t
brought into service several men to
clear the road and repair the wires.
This old tree was one of the land
marks of Thetford Hill. 1t had
withstood the winter blasts of many
years and furnished shade in sum-
mer for several generations. 1t
