Miss Hyatt Ends School Work In City Miss Helen'Hyatt, sewing trade teacher whose class at George Hall Trade School was dis- continued this year, left today for her cottage at Amagansett, L. I., to spend tne summer. Miss Hyatt came here three years ago. Her home is in Auburn, N, Y. She has no plans but will not return to Ogdensburg. Miss Hyatt made numerous friends in the city during her resi- dence here and her work was com- and • mended by school officials who (.expressed regret that insufficient Lightning Enters Veitch Home, No Fire Started i A freak bolt of lightning struck a house in this vicinity Sunday. It did things which are hard to 'believe., ] The lightning knocked off the brick chimney, split the stove i pipes, damaged the stove and put i a small hole in the floor of the farm residence of Loren Veitch, i about one mile below the city lim- its on the Van Rensselaer Road, j without .starting fire. | This phenomenal freak of nature j happened at>out 4:15 o'clock Sun- day morning when Ogdensburg and the surrounding territory was in the grip of the worst electrical storm of the year. Mr. and Mrs. Veitch, who are both employed at the St. Lawrence State hospital, were at their farm residence for the night, Mr. Veitch was asleep and Mrs. Veitch was about the house, having just be- fore closed the windows and had one light turned on, when there was a terrific explosion, the light went out and in a flash every- thing was over. The lightning entered the chimney followed down the stove pipe and after putting a hole in the floor, struck a wjre leading outside and was gone. Mr. Veitch jumped out of bed with the terrific explosion and to- gether they examined the damage. How the lightning went through the roof, second floor and main- floor without setting the place on fire is just one of those freaks of nature. SOUGHT ADV'ENTNRE—FOUND IT! Canadian Air Women Marjorie Elliott, of Vancouver, and Pat Murray, Winnipeg, who hadn't been riding bicycles for two years, found plenty of adventure during a 120 mile bike ride to Ogdensburg over the weekend during which only a tree gave them protection during Friday night's electric and rain storm. City Is Awarded Pennant For Outstanding Effort During Scrap Campaigns Ogdensburg has been awarded the high honor of a War Production Board pennant for excellence in salvaging scrap metal in the historic drive last October. News of this exceptional honor for the City came to Captain Clark A. Briggs, chairman of the Ogdens- burg Salvage Committee, in a letter from William Arnoldy, executive secretary for New York of the Sal- vage Division of the WPB and New York State Salvage Commit- tee of the State War Council. In the big scrap drive directed by Capt. Briggs and under the sponsorship of the Ogdensburg Journal and Advance-News last October 103 pounds of scrap metal for each man, woman and child in the city was collected. All cities or villages which exceeded 100 pounds per capita were eligible for the WPB pennant. The only com-1 day drew neaMr> Algonquin Plant Must Open Friday Or Lose Workers . All Was quiet on the. Algonquin Paper mill front today but an un- dercurrent of anticipation was felt in the city as the one week deadline due to expire on Fri- registration made discontinuance of her class necessary. munities in all Northern New York which have received pennants are Canton and Ogdensburg. H. Perry Smith, field representa- tive of the WPB district office in Albany, was in Ogdensburg last week and conferred with Capt. Briggs. He told him that he had done one of the most outstanding jobs in the State in the big news- paper sponsored scrap metal drive last October and that since then his record of tin, silk, grease and fats salvage work had been equal- ly remarkable. Mr. Arnold's letter to Capt. Briggs advising him that Ogdens- burg had won the coveted salvage pennant follows: Room 709 112 State Street Albany 7, New York Capt. C. A. Briggs, Chairman Ogdensburg City Salvage Com. 207 Franklin St., • Ogdensburg, N. Y. • Dear Capt. Briggs: Your report of salvage accom- plishments in the City of Og- densburg has been submitted to the Salvage Division of the War Production Board, Washington, D. C, with the result that a WPB Penant for excellence in salvaging is being sent to you at this time under separate cover, for presentation to the City of Ogdensburg for the very import- ant part the citizens of that city have taken in helping to furnish , the necessary salvage materials to make the weapons for our soldiers and those of our Allies to aggressively fight and win this terriblo war. To have re- leased an average of 103 lbs. of this materials per capita in your city is an accomplishment of which you and every citizen can be justly proud. Our heartiest congratulations are extended to each and every one concerned. We hope that upon receipt of this Pennant it will fly below the national emblem from the flagpole of your city hall, to con- stantly remind the public that their continued efforts in salvage are recognized, thoroughly ap- preciated and urgently needed. Congratulations to you person- ally and to your Salvage Com- mittee, for the success of this work is due in no small measure to your impiration, planning and leadership. Sincerely yours, Wm. Arnoldy, Executive Secretary of New York Fred Christ, U.S. Employment Service representative stated this week-end that if the mill was not in operation by Friday, then all Workers would automatically re- ceive their manpower .releases for employment elsewhere. Mr. A. E. Bartlett, Algonquin official stated today that the situa- tion was being studied but declined to comment on the 'possibility of the reopening of the mill within the next few day. Meanwhile William Barton, president of the Sulphite workers union announced that a special meeting of \all Pulp and Sulphite workers would be held at * the Moose Hall on Friday night, the date for the expiration of the time allotted the plant to get production •started. \Onion officials had previously declared that the reopening of the mill was up to the management and not the Sulphite Union. Pedalled Here From Ottawa For Weekend This is the story of two Canadian Air Women who started out for a Weekend adventure—and found it. The two Air Women, Marjorie •Elliott of Vancouver and Pat Mur- ray, Winnipeg, are members of the Canadian Air Force, RCAF— WD, and work in the Air Force Records Department at Tempor? ar'y Building^ No. 5 in Ottawa. Starting out from Ottawa on Fri- day evening for a weekend of ad- venture, the Air Women found it. Having told their fellow workers of a number of weekend hikes they had recently ' taken, they 'were dared to undertake' a trip to the border, and a dare, it seems, is one'thing that a Canadian Air Wo- man does not shrug off lightly. So, on rented bicycles the two started south from Ottawa after work Friday. Fatigued, they .de- cided to Stop at Kemptville, but since they could not find rooms they pushed on doggedly. Then came the rains. At 3 o'clock Saturday morning they found a huge tree in whose shelter they attempted to escape the cloudburst.. . Their only pro- tection against the storm was one* blanket and they had no weapon Whatever for keeping -away the clouds 'of mosquitoes which swarmed around them. Tired, but never licked, the Air Women pushed on and arrived at 7 a.m. in Prescott, where they parked the bicycles at the Police Station and • took the ferry to Ogdensburg, finding food and rest at the Crescent Hotel. \We \think your Service Center is just .perfect,\- two Canadian Air Women, told a representative of the Journal When they were inter- viewed Sunday morning. \We were entertained royally at the Service Center^ last night. Everyone has been so good to us, and this is the grandest weekend ever We certainly axe coming back soon\ they declared. Neither of the girls had heeh in the .States before but each said she would like to return soon. Whether they pedalled- the long 60 miles back to Ottawa in time r to report at 8 on Monday morning or rode in the luxery of a bus with their bicycles lashed on its top, depended on the chivalry of the bus driver. . A-W Elliott has been In the ser- vice 14 months and A-W Murray 16 months. Neither had ridden a bicycle in two years. If you want a good horse and a square deal sec Alton Walker Of Madrid, N. Y.
