Folks who planned their Thanksgiving dinner for Sun- day had a problem as the power was off from 11:45 to 3:15 Sunday. The high wind split a pole near the S idney Aldnch' s place and took down the wires. Luckily, it wasn't zero degree weather. There also were wires down on the Wardell Road. It just shows how much we de- pervd on our electricity. Mr. and Mrs. Roland Newcombc had three days' va- cation over the weekend.
