MOTORISTS COLLIDE
TO Save WOMAN IN
APPROACHING BUGGY

The days of chivalry are not over
when two drivers of automobiles will
run into a head-on collision rather
than take chance of injuring a wom-
an. This is what happened yesterday
when two knights of the road, Homer
Welsh Of Fountain City and William
Baker. of Pleasant City. came togeth-
er on the Middleboro road in order to
avoid running into buggy driven by
John Turner in which Mrs. Thomas
Dolloff was riding.
The Glen Karn bus, driven by Welsh
was on its way to Richmond and the
Baker automobile was going in the op-
posite direction. They met at the foot
of a hill where the carriage was at
the time and the only way they could
avoid hitting it was by colliding. They
did so.
Both cars were slightly damaged
but the gallant drivers did not mind
that for the lady was unhurt.
