CARS CRASH HEAD
ON ON BELGRADE
ROAD; Two HURT

Two automobiles came together in
a head-on collision at about 10 o.
clock Friday morning at the turn
grange hall on the Belgrade road, re-
sulting in injuries to two men which
necessitated the removal of one o.
them, H. E. Gibson Of Washburn. to
the Augusta general hospital. The
two cars were both badly damaged
and were removed from the scene Of
the crash by wrecking cars.
Mr.. Gibson was the driver of one
of the automobiles, a Ford touring
car, and was proceeding toward Bel
grade. and the other car was a Buick
touring, one of the fleet of cars be-
longing to the Central Maine Power
Co, and was operated by Dexter
Spaulding, an employe. AS Mr.. Glib
son reached the turn, which is a
left curve, he turned his wheel that
way and had rounded the corner and
was on the straight away with the
heavier car approaching from the OPP
posite direction. Mr.. Gibson found
that the steering gear had locked on
his car and it was impossible TO
straighten the wheels, and before he
could act in the emergency the Two
machines came together forcibly.
With Mr.. Gibson was his wife and
a small child, who were riding in the
rear and a man named Fish. who
was beside the driver. Mr.. Fish and
Mr.. Gibson were both thrown out OF
the Ford car, and both suffered in
juries which were at first believed 10
be very dangerous.
The Plummer ambulance was call
ed and Mr.. Gibson was rushed to the
hospital, where an examination dis
closed that he had received no bro
ken bones but was badly bruised and
shaken. Mr. Fish received two cuts
on the face. one on the right cheek
and one over the eye. He was treaS-
ed at the scene Of the accident Ivy
DR.. Roland II. Mckay.
None of the. others in the two cars
were injured beyond being severely
shaken up. The front ends Of both
machines were considerably damaged,
and the engine Of the Gibson car was
set back on it's base. This machine
was taken to the North Augusta gar
ace, which is on the opposite corner
from where the accident occurred,
where it will be repaired. The c. M.
P. Co. car was lowed to this city by
the S. o. S. wrecker from the Arse
nal street garage.

quaint the people with the unexcel-

Industries.
In most Maine communities the
residents are wholly unaware of the
extent and quantity of the articles

extent Of Names production of cot

toys, toys. novelties, lime, slate,

commodities whose quality is a credit
to the state. In many instances peo-
pie have had very little opportunity,

spect the local industries or urged to
buy Maine made or England

Throughout Maine plans are being
made by the various Chambers of
