CAR GOES OVER BANK
Not One of Four People Hurt in r.
Foot Drop

An automobile with four people shot
off 12-foot embankment on North
avenue late Saturday evening and turned
upside down. and although the top was
not up not one of the persons was in
jured. And neither was the machine dam
aged, barring a broken windshield and
the stearing gear a little bent. The &C
cident occurred just beyond the quarry
road around the bend, just before the
guard railing starts.
The occupants of the car were Charles
Bouchard of Cherry street. the owner,
his parents, and Mr.. Root, a railroad
man. The latter was driving. The presto
tank had run out, with the result that
they were deprived of lights. A trolley
car came around the bend, and. in turn
ing out the driver turned too far and was
apparently unable to guide the machine
back. The consequence was the plunge
down the bank, and a complete turning
upside down.
All in car were able to crawd out.
W. V. Farr, motoring in to Burlington,
brought them to town Sunday MORN
ing e. II. Chase went out, righted the
car, and brought it into the Austin gar
age The machine is REQ, and the dam
age done it is slight
The place where the accident occurred
has seen several, at least one fatal ac-
cident, and others of more or less SER
iousness How the participants in Satur-
day evenings accident emerged with
whole skins is an unexplainable mystery.
The party was returning from Milton,
where they had been to look over the
scene of the freight wreck.

decision reached at a community farm
bureau meeting held at Hinesburg on
Wednesday evening OF last week, with

agent. In attendance. The decision to put
up such building was greatly furthered
through the offer of Bordens Condensed
NIL company to give a site for the build
ing on corner of its own lot and to fur
nish the steam for the canning.
This building will be built by the same
method as many barns We're built in the
old days when the. farmers used to get
together when one of their number want
ed to build a barn, and have what was
then known as "barn-raising." Every
body brought a picnic dinner and mate
rails and tools with which to work. and
all took hold and put up the barn.
Such will be the procedure on June II,
when the citizens will revive this old Gus
tom by gathering at the lot where the
community canning kitchen is to be built,
bringing with them their hammers, saws,
planes, ETC., and the farmers wives will
