Marsons at Dartmouth College.
About 20 miles from Hanover. near
Woodville they turned a dangerous
curve in the road which had been
freshly oiled. Mrs. Marsons. an ex-
perienced driver, was driving and
was taking extra precautions. when
the car skidded, climbed an en-
bankment and turned over, injuring
all of the occupants. Only the steel
top tof the sedan saved the entire
party from instant death. Mrs.
Cullinan had three ribs broken and
suffered a scalp wound. Her death,
however. resulted, within an hour,
