MYSTERIOUS BLAST OF HEAT ALARMS
Colington.- Was it restless spirits whose presence so startled four Colington youths, as they were walking home Monday night? Or could there be some ordinary, commonplace explanation of their experience?
The youths aren't very eager to investigate further.
Vernon Perry, Dave Williams, Bobby Gaimel and Bobby Meekins were walking along the road, when they felt a blast of hot air strike their legs. It did not rise higher than their knees. The hot wind continued for a space of about 25 feet, but the boys got away from there, but quick.
