Bristol storm wrecks boats and recalls war hero

Southeast winds up to 40 miles per hour battered Bristol with intermittent rain. Four children were rescued when their three boats drifted from Portsmouth to Hog Island as Coast Guard crews aided in the harbor rescue. An 18 foot home made sailboat named Paradise was wrecked at Hope Street beach. The Onrust and Onza faced danger near the stone piers while anchors and motor worked to steady them. A new power cruiser owned by William Church was secured with anchors. The Prudence trip was canceled as Capt. Norman DesLauriers, the 26th Bristolan to die in the war, was killed in France. Local officials toured Parasmede Shoe Company, noting 125 employees and wage plans after training.
