THERE'S a WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who has had her summer vacation
visit spoiled. She has been planning
for some time on visiting an old-time
friend this summer, but the friend has
a husband who is a most reckless
auto mobile driver. He has had three
quite serious accidents since he got
his car and in the last one his wife
was injured and had to go to the
hospital. She wrote to the woman in
our town the other day, however, that
she had about recovered and would
be ready for some nice long rides while
she was there. The trip was immedi.
ately given up.
