Friday evening as a car of high
school students was driving to Cash
mere to the football game, a loaded
truck monopolized the road to such
an extent that the car of students
was forced off the road into a ditch to
avoid collision. Quick head work
and clever handling of his car by the
driver kept the car from turning over.
Straddling the ditch, Wheel on Ell
ther side, he drove along till the ditch
grew shallow enough for him to drive
back onto the road. The driver
doesn't wish his name printed, but
We'll say this: he is one of the high
school boys and for the length of
time he has handled a car, does re-
markably well.
