Collision with Pole
Snashes Car; Owner
Continues with New

A Nash touring car owned and
driven by Leo Il. McNellen of Astoria,
Long Island, was badly wrecked about
3.45 Wednesday afternoon when, in
passing another car. the machine got
little too far out of the road and
collided with telegraph pole. The
accident occurred on the Winthrop
road at the foot of the hill by the Ma
comber farm. Mr. McNellen's young
son Paul was bruised about the face
and neck but those were the only in
iuries suffered by the family consist
ing of Mr.. and Mrs. McNellen and
their two sons.
They We're coming toward Augusta
at the time of the accident ana an
other car was going in the opposite
direction. A parked car on the left
of Mr.. McNeIlen forced the other ma
chine to turn out well into the middle
Of the road to pass. and in meeting
this second vehicle the Nash got over
the edge of the road and crashed into
the pole. The fact that the pole had
been recently set, and so the earth
around it was softer than usual, prob
ably saved the family from severe in
juries, the earth taking up much of
the shock of collision.
The automobile was badly damaged,
considerable distance. Later Mr. Nc
Nellen turned the machine at a local
garage. purchased a new one and will
leave today to continue his vacation
trip to Halifax.

Hospital Hold MEETING

The workers who are to conduct

tiers on Broadway last night, when
plans were outlined and discussed.
and methods which have been sue
cessfully employed in many other
similar projects in other towns and
states were explained. It was also
announced that although the date for
solicitation was some days off, quite
a number of pledges have been vol
unfairly offered, including one of
$4,000, with a total of quite a bit
more than $4,000. limitations of
other good sized voluntary pledges to
come in right away, have also been
received by the executive committee,
all of which is very encouraging to
the committee. A number of available
locations for the hospital are being
surveyed and investigated, and there
Is no doubt that a desirable and sat-
isfactory site can be secured at mod
crate cost. 1t is desirable that the
hospital be not too far from the BUSH
ness center of Pennington, that it be
on high land and that 1t be in a quiet
place. Several such places are
available, it is said.

Rescript Reverses
Decree of the Judge
In Cumberland Case

The decree of the court was re-
versed in the Cumberland County
case Of Frank Bartlett an industrial
accident case in which an appeal
was taken by rescript which was
handed down recently by Justice
Deasy. The rescript Is as follows:
Subject TO an exception hereinafter
noted, a workman is not entitled to
receive compensation for accidental
injury unless his employer has notice
or knowledge of the accident within
thirty days after its occurrence.
The law intends that the fact OF the
accident shall be brought home to the
knowledge of the employer by notice
received or actual knowledge obtain
ed at a reasonably early date, SO that
he may make such investigation as
he desires while memory of the &C.
currence is yet fresh. Thirty days
is the time which the statute pre-
scribes for notice. or for knowledge
which is a substitute for 1t.
knowledge by an employer of the
fact that an employee Is suffering
from a strangulated hernia is not
equivalent to knowledge that the
hernia was caused by an accident
arising out of and in the course OF
his employment.
When failure to give notice is due
to accident, mistake or unforeseen
cause, want of the thirty day notice
or knowledge is not a bar to recovery.
illness may be such unforeseen
cause.
The court will not however remand
the case to the Commission Tor
finding Of fact upon this point where
it appears that after recovery the
employee allowed months to pass
without informing his employer OF
the accident which is claimed 10
have caused his rupture.
If workman knows that his DIS
ablement is due to an industrial &C
cident he should, except when pre-
Hanted nv illness or other cause,
speedily inform his employer. If he
does not know it. that is If he does
not in his own mind connect the &C
cident with the disability, he can
hardly expect his employer to have
greater knowledge.
Appeal sustained. Decree reversed
