FIVE YOUNG PEOPLE IN
AUTO WRECK

Leo Seibert met with an accident
with his fathers Ford car last
Friday evening while on his way
home from the Bills home in the
country where he took Miss En-
maline home after her weeks work
in the Public School here. In the
car were Leo Seibert, Arthur Cox
and the Misses Bills, Marylea Hunt
and Pauline Spoo.
They arrived at the Bills home
and on their return trip to town,
the brakes refused to work, caus-
ing the car to turn clear over,
throwing Arthur clear over the CAR
into the brush on one side of the
road; pinning Pauline down with
the back seat over her chest and
face landing her in big mud
puddle; Marylea and Leo, who were
the occupants of the front seat were
pinned down so it required the
moving of the car before they
could move. Miss Pauline, having
Immediately recovered her secses CON
stantly kept moving in the mud un-
oil she was released from the sit
uation and, with the aid of Arthur
who was too frightened to do any
thing without help, so the two
moved the car far away which re-
leased Leo and the three released
) Miss Marylea. 1t was certainly a
very narrow escape for the young
people and mo blame can be put on
any persons shoulder. We are GER
; tainly glad to state that NO injury
was met with and all are prais-
ing the skies for their miraculous
!. escape. VI
