Quick Action on
Part Drivers Averts
Serious Accident

What would have been a serious
accident was narrowly averted Sum
day evening by the careful driving OF
both Governor Percival P. Baxter and
DR.. Roland Mckay Of Augusta when
Mrs. Elizabeth ToZier of Farming
dale alighted from an electric car
and was knocked down by the doc
tors automobile.
The governor was driving down
Main avenue coming from Augusta
and the doctor was coming from the
opposite direction. Mrs. Tozier was
directly in front of a car parked on
the side of the road without lights
and the governor was obliged to
swing out for this car. When he did
so. the headlights of his car blinded
the doctor, and he was unable to see
Mrs. Tozier until almost up to her.
She was hit by the mud-guard OF
the car and knocked down. Both the
governor and DIR. Mckay immediate
ly stopped and assisted Mrs. Tozier
to her home which was nearby. DR..
Mckay made a careful examina ton
and found only minor bruises. Both
cars We're proceeding slowly at the
time. and were fortunately in the
hands of careful and experienced
drivers.
