Der of home visits and meetings at
tended is constantly increasing and
that the mailing of letters to ex-
pectant mothers is becoming an i'm
portant item of here work.
The Red Cross Call and Christmas
Seal sale, carried on by members of
Association, were successful in the
county and resulted in large receipts
for the national organization, accord
ing to the reports made at the meet
ing.
Officers for the coming year are
soon to be considered and nominal
ing committee to select candidates
was chosen, as follows: chairman, D.

SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT

A serious accident occurred at the
end of the cement road, just north
Of the city limits in Robinson Dis
trict, late Saturday afternoon when
the large Studebaker taxi, belonging
to w. O.. Dye and driven by Louis
| (Pie Face) Farnsowth and the Ford
milk truck owned and driven by H.
T. Lawson, met in a head-on COLI
sion, almost demolishing both cars.
The taxi had three passengers be-
sides the driver, and after striking
the milk truck, passed on to the left
of the road, over large stump and
across the lawn to the Homer Fisher
residence, striking large brick col
umn of the front porch and tearing
great hole from the same.
Mr.. Lawson was accompanied by
his wife in the milk truck, the force
of the impact whirled the truck a
round in the road almost to the OPP
posite direction from which it
was going. Mrs. Lawson apparently
received the greatest ! injuries, the
same being bad bruise in the fore
head, several cuts on the right arm
and two severe cuts on her leg just
below the knee.
When seen by Register reporter
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawson, whose home is
at Maggie, stated that they were on
their way to the city with dairy and
poultry products and had stopped at
the McCarty store in Belemeade.
After leaving the McCarty store, they
stated that they were driving at a
moderate rate of speed. when they
saw a car approaching them at a
great speed along the cement road.
They stated that Mr.. Lawson pulled
over to the right as far as possible in
order to give the approaching car
plenty of room to pass, but when it
left the cement road it seemed to skid
on the gravel and came head-on into
their car.
When interviewed some time Satur-
day night, Farnsworth, driver of the
taxi, stated that he was not running
at a high rate Of speed and that in
attempting to avoid collision with
the Lawson truck he pulled to his left
side of the road just as the Lawson
car pulled in front of him and that
he did everything in his power to a.
void collision.
1t is understood, however, that
chief of police Cheesbrew was at the
scene of the accident short time af-
ter it occurred and that he made the
statement, after making a personal
investigation, that the Lawson truck
was in its proper place on the high
way when it was struck by the taxi
The Register is also informed that
Mr.. Lawson has retained Hogg and
Hogg as his attorneys and will take
such legal action as is necessary in
the case.
In telephone conversation yester-
day with the Lawson home, it was
learned that Mrs. Lawson was suf-
fering considerably, apparently hav-
ing received internal injuries which
were not noticed shortly after the ac-
cident.
Point Pleasant Register, January
II 1925.
Mrs. Lawson is a sister of j. G.
Wilmoth of this city.
