could get trouble repaired. At

through 20 open wire telephone

Straight Wind Reported
Calls into Quarryville had to
be routed from Lancaster to
Philadelphia, into Kirkwood and
thence mte^Quarryville.
On the Click Farm, debris was
not scattered. It appeared as
though a huge hand had lifted
the building, then set dt down
with a crushing blow 25 feet to
the e'ast “It was a straight wind,”
Mr Click replied, and he be
lieves that debris lodged against
the silo deflected the wind
enough to save other buildings
North of 'Lancaster, damage too
was evident m rural sections
Telephone poles were snapped,
repaired in place, secured by guy
ropes.
It was estimated gusts reached
80 miles an hour At the height
.of the storm, windows were
smashed out of several downtown
Lancaster stores. Television an
tenna suffered heavily from the
north to the south end of the
County
At the Shenk Cheese Co. fac
tory on the New Danville Pike
outside Lancaster, the roof was
blown away, landing 50 feet from
the building The front wall was
thrown out of line, and a stock
of cups on the second fleor was
badly damaged. Winds blew the
roof from the Pequea Creek cov
ered bridge between East Lam
peter and Strasburg Townships
Near-Escapes Numerous
Signs and billboards along the
roadsides were blown down,
blown away or twisted into crazy
angles Near Willow Street, (the
roof was ripped off a trailer
truck on Highway 72.
Escapes and near-escapes were
numerous. The storm struck at
an hour when the streets of many
Lancaster County towns were
crowded with Saturday shoppers.
In Lancaster, John Bolton, 11-
year-old son of Mr and Mrs
Marion Bolton of R 3 Quarryville,
was cut about the hands when
wind blew out a plate glass win
dow in the Eugene Jacobs Men’s
Store on King Street. Fortunate
ly, he had turned his back to the
window, 'and protected his head
with his hands.
Damage was probably the most
severe since Hurricane Hazel
blew through the County a year
and a half ago.

Needed Annual Gross
Enough cows to revolve your
capital investment as income
every two years is necessary for
successful dairy operations, Joe

$40,000, demanding at least $17,-
500 to $20,000 as income each
year to produce the proper net
return on the investment.
