DIR. McElroy in an Auto Accident
| Ocala friends of DIR. and Mrs. Syl-

to hear that DR.. McElroy was injured
in an auto accident in Orlando Sun
day afternoon.
DIR. McElroy was on a professional
call, accompanied by Mrs McElroy
and their little son and Mr. and Mrs.
Strickland. En- route to his patient
DIR. McElroy pun.tured a tire, and as
he was in great haste he hailed
passing Ford driven by a negro ac-
companied by two other negroes, and
asked them to drive him to Longwood
DIR. McElroy saw that the negro was
an inexperienced driver and request
ed him not to exceed ten miles an
hour. The Evening ,Reporter-Star de-
scribes the accident as follows:
"In some manner the negro seemed
/ to become confused and ran his car
into soft sand. In an endeavor to re-
gain the road he gave the steering
wheel short turn which upset the
!: car, throwing the doctor through the
windshield. Several face cuts were
sustained, but what proved more
serious was a deep cash under the
left side of the jaw. Here the jugular
vein was missed by the sharp piece of
glass pressed into the flesh. One of
the negroes was seriously injured. DR..
McElroy was rushed to Longwood by
a car which overlook them"
