Second Clou Wall Rtglsttrtd Numbw OU). 1 inches rain Storm cleaves path through Ottawa By DANNY FRANCIS A short but violent thunder storm dropped one-and-a-half inches of rain on the city in just three quarters of an hour early today and left a West End family homeless after their house was set ablaze by lightning. The storm struck at about 4.15 a.m. as booming thunder and flashes of lightning rolled eastward over the city. It left in its wake uprooted trees, flooded roadways and powerless homes.

Henry Rooke, his wife, mother-in-law and 20-year-old daughter, were wakened by the storm and waiting it out in their 11 Java Street home when lightning struck. was a tremendous bang," Mr. Rooke, an inspector with die federal department of health and welfare, said afterwards. "We didn't feel anything special but very soon afterwards we smelled smoke." Mr. Rooke said the lightning struck the root and travelled Spurned to make MONTREAL (CP) As a kid growing up in northern Quebec, Gilles Carle did not imagine be would ever make a film.

"Films were made in Holly wood, or mayoc rarm vr nuu- don. But not in Quebec." Mr. Carle helped change that image with his 1965 film, La vie Heureme de Leopold which opened a new era of feature film-making in Quebec. His subsequent films. La Jeune Fille Douce, Red and Les Malles, have continued the artistry -and Quebecois flavor that are standards in a now-thriving industry.

La Vraie Nature de Bernad-ette, bis latest release which was selected as Canada's official entry in the recent Cannes Film Festival, established a new level for Quebec movie-makers in appreciation -of Quebec life and culture. Mr. Carle, 42, wears a worn leather jacket, turtlenecks and glasses. With a headful of greying, wavy hair and a perennially unshaven chin, he looks rough, friendly and FATHER SOUGHT WORK Maniwaki, Rouyn-Noranda and other northern Quebec mining towns were his home as a child when his father searched for work during the Depression. "I came from a poor family," Mr.

Carle says. "But we never felt poor. We never thought we were poor. My parents were both quite cultured, and we read Beaude-laire at the dining-room table. "There were eight children and to all of them studying was important.

I studied literature and fine arts at the University of Montreal and Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Pellan, Eveleigh and Calder. I have a very strong background in visual things." An artist, graphic designer and even a film animator for a while, Mr. Carle turned to writing producing a couple of novels, many short stories plus plays and poetry. FOUND NEW FEELING He associated with other young writers and during the early 1950s he became aware of the then-new feeling for Quebec that is a trademark of his work. "All artists then were linked 'with Paris.

He said the fire burned mainly in the top storey of the house put also flared up between the floors and in the walls' of both storeys, Mr.

Rooke described his home as "gutted" and he and his family are today staying with neigh bors. At the height of the storm lightning struck Cartier Square drill hall knocking a section of brickwork onto the roof of a new car. On Parliament Hill, a news paper deliveryman, Pete De-Greer, sorting papers in front of the Peace Tower: watched in awe as a giant ball of flame rolled around at the top of the tower after lightning struck. The storm's fury was clearly visible at the corner of Micmac and Alta Vista Drive where a 40-foot tree was uprooted and toppled onto the road. Lightning tripped a number oi Paris, Hollywood films in Quebec but instead of staying five years we stayed five weeks.

"We wanted to stay here; Maybe it was not so good, but it was ours. It was an emotional thing. The things we wrote then were linked with Quebec. I was a nationalist." But, Mr. Carle "I was writing for 14 years and never had one thing accepted.

My Kind of ideas could not be accepted then. Now I'm 42 and I'm only starting to make films, only starting to express myself." FOR INDEPENDENCE Today Mr. Carle Is not a nationalist He is for Quebec independence, but his ideals run far deeper than politics. He dreams of a world of little, independent societies based on the natural divisions of man. Mr.

The doctors reported in Ar chives of Internal Medicine, a publication of the American Medical Association, on a study of 26 men who died suddenly. They summarized the sequence of events leading to death generally: The man was a high-risk patient due to a history of heart disease. He had been depressed for a week up to several months prior to death. The man experienced strong feelings of anxiety, anger or even elation just before death.

Sudden death from heart at tack or abnormal heart rhythm occurred within 24 hours of first significant symptoms. Authors said that death proba bly occurred when the man returned to his usual depressed state after being emotionally aroused because the accompanying drop in pulse rate and blood pressure set off a sudden Diooa pressure ou a suaaen Memorial Hospital; and fatal heart attack. Or, to put hester General HosnitaL another way, the contrast be- tween the slowed-down state of the "blues" and the stress of arousal was too much for the men's bodies, already weakened by heart disease. TALKED WITH WIDOWS I The average age at death oi the men in the study was 5.6 years. Data on past illnesses, premonitory symptoms and the emotional state of the men and their families in the days, weeks and months before death was obtained from, work medical records, private physicians and the surviving next-of-kin, usually the wife.

Wives were questioned as to the circum stances leading up to the hus band's death, his psychological power circuits in the city and large areas were without electricity for as long as three hours. Power was off in the area west of Woodroffe Avenue to the city limits for 20 minutes during the storm and in the Bayswater Avenue Young Street section a number of homes were without power for two hours. The heavy rainfall flooded streets in the West-End, and sewers along Kirkwood Avenue south of Carting Avenue. Trees came crashing down across Bank Street at Belanger Ave nue. The weatherman, describing this morning's storm, as "pretty severe," said more of the same could be in store for-his evening.

In all but three in stances there was evidence of some premonitory symptoms.

Approximately half of the de ceased bad seen a physician within the 10 days preceding death. The physicians felt that the patients were reluctant to turn to anyone for assistance even when realized they were having a heart attack.

The result, says a report by the Organization for Ecov nomic Co-operation and Development, is cleaner air and increased turnover'in shops in the areas affected. OECD environment expert Kenneth Orski wrote: "The recently-introduced ban on cars in the inner city of Vienna has been reported to have lowered pollution levels by 70 per cent In Tokyo and Marseilles, auto exclusion produced equally impressive results." "With the current emphasis on a purer environment and the 'quality of urban we are likely to see growing public pressure for curbing traffic in central urban areas. Available experience 6bows that traffic bans are operationally feasible and commercially successful." SALES RISE In Vienna, shop owners reported increases between 25 and 50 per cent in turnover during the first week of the ban on traffic in the inner city. In Essen, West Germany, increases between 10 and 35 per cent were reported, and in Rouen, France, the figure was between 10 and 15 per cent.

In each case, the fire apparently started at the back of the house, within three feet of a fuel oil tank. Fire chief, Ernest Deloughe- ry, said he would decide later today whether the Marion fire, which caused little damage, should be investigated by the Ontario Fire Marshal office.

Simpson Construction said today he was surprised by a report that Nepean Township was seeking an injunction to stop his company from building in the Pineglen area. Mr. Simpson said a Journal report Tuesday was the first he knew about the.

injunction. The township says the devel oper is building without a permit, is taking top soil from an area designated as parkland, and is dumping tree stumps in a ravine area in violation of a sub-division agreement signed with the township. It adds that the violations are connected with- construction of single-family dwellings in the Country Place sub-division.
