DIR. E. P. Quain today stated it was
the custom Of Visell to use the car

Accidents Sunday afternoon along
the Black trail north of Baldwin
near the 500 crossing were narrow
ly averted. One driver of Ford
car evidently under the influence
Of "moonshine", travelling at high
rate Of speed, swerved twice from
one side of the road and the fact
that he went into ditch nearby
saved a car coming south from being
wrecked.
He made sharp turn at about
IS miles an hour. His car half tip
ped and travelled on two wheels for
short space and then righted it
self only to dart across the road un-
der the hands Of the drunken driver
to a point opposite. where it went
into the ditch and spilled out its
driver. He was uphurt.
