MRS. &C. KERNS
MEETS TRAGIC
AUTO DEATH
Was Wife OF DIR. w. w. Kerns,
Of BlOxOm, Va. Killed On
Suffolk Boulevard
DECEASED RELATED TO
ROBERTSON FAMILY HERE

The Saturday issue of the Virgin
ian-Pilot, Norfolk publication, con-
tanned an account of the death of
Mrs. Carrie c, Kerns, prominent Eas-
tern Shore resident, wife of DR.. w.
w. Kerns, of Bloxom, Va, who was
killed Friday afternoon in traffic
accident on the Suffolk Boulevard,
and her son, w. Wilmer Kerns, % and
Miss Alice Young, AZ, also of Bloxom,
were injured. The accident occurred
at the intersection of the Kings high
way and the Suffolk boulevard.
The dispatch stated the Kerns car
operated by Wilmer Kerns and a
truck alleged to have been driven by
J. G. Hall, 18, of Aulander, N. c., were
involved. Hall, who received slight
injuries was held for his appearance
July 8, to answer charge of man.
slaughter. The accident occurred
shortly after o'clock when Hall, ac-
cording to the Norfolk County police,
in negotiating curve ploughed into
the right side of the Kerns car. Mrs.
Kerns was riding on the front seat
with her son and was on the right
side of the car where the machines
locked together when they crashed.
The truck embedded itself in the
coach to such an extent that it made
it necessary for rescuers to lift Mrs.
kerns out on the left side, raising
her unconscious over the steering
wheel.
Mrs. Kerns, her son and Miss Young
were rushed to hospital where the
former was pronounced dead. The
Kerns party had been in Clarkeville,
Tenn, attending the 15Oth anniver-
sary of that town and were en- route
for home when the tragedy occurred,
intending to take the last boat from
Norfolk to Cape Charles.
DR.. Kerns and his wife were ex-
pected here Saturday to attend the
wedding of relative, Miss Annie
Kerns Robertson which took place at
one o'clock. The bridal party were
not notified of the tragic occurrence
until after the ceremony.

new HIGHWAY
PROPOSED FOR
LOCAL RESORT
Route From Matapeake Through
Delaware Towns Thence
South To Ocean City
PUBLIC SERVICE COM.
WILL CONSIDER MATTER

Following the decision of the State
Court of Appeals, reversing the lower
courts which had sustained an appeal
by the B. and A. Railroad and up
holding the Public Service Commits
sion in the matter of permit for the
Red Star Bus Line to operate thru
bus service between the Eastern Shore
and Baltimore, agitation has been
started for the establishment of new
route by which, it is thought, traffic
from Baltimore to Ocean City will be
expedited.
The latest proposal received by the
commission came in the form of a
telegram from the Berlin Ocean City
Lions Club. 1t quoted the following
resolution passed by the club:
"Whereas the Berlin-Ocean City
Lions Club is interested in the better
ment of transportation facilities in
this vicinity, therefore, be it resolved
that in our opinion Ocean City would
be better served by bus line oper-
ating from Baltimore through Anna
polls over Matapeake Ferry through
Denton, Bridgeville, Georgetown to
Ocean City than by bus line operat-
ing over Claiborne Ferry consuming
much more time and that therefore
we respectively request your commits
sion to issue permits for the Red Star
Lines to operate over this proposed
route"
The old route of the Red Stars
through busses was over the Claiborne
Ferry through Easton and Salisbury
into Berlin and Ocean City. 1t is this
route that will be opened, according
to the company's plan. The route pro-

CRASHES
NEAR THIS CITY
ON WEDNESDAY
Mrs. Katrina Canning And Mr..
Robert Turpin Seriously
Injured BY The Fall
MRS. CANNING NOT
YET OUT OF DANGER

Something unusual in this commun-
ity in the way of casualties, happen
ed on Wednesday afternoon, about
4:30 D. M, the accident referred to
being an air-plane crash on the Stew
enson land, just outside the corpor-
ate limits.
The plane contained two people,
Mrs. Katrina Canning, pilot and Mr..
Robert D. Turpin, passenger. Mrs.
Canning was quite seriously hurt and
according to the latest information,
her condition is critical.
Several hours after she had been
removed to the Peninsula General
Hospital at Salisbury she was still
unconscious. She had several broken
ribs on her left side, one of which
possibly punctured her lung, badly
crushed right knee and deep cash
on her head.
Robert D. Turpin, her passenger
on crop-survey tour of the Delmar-
va Peninsula, escaped with lesser in
juries. Recovering consciousness half
an hour after the crash, he was taken
to the Salisbury Hospital, where his
injuries were given as three frac-
tured ribs, bad cuts on his forehead
knees and ankles.
Mrs. Canning is the daughter of
Jacob Pusey, former Wilmington Del,
business man, and Turpin is the son
of John r. E. Turpin, roads engineer
for Queen Anne's county. Both are
residents of Centreville. They had
been on the crop-survey tour for the
past two weeks for Cambridge Md,
packing company.
Turpin said they were in Parksley,
Va, earlier in the day and had landed
near Snow Hill. The landing was
without any difficulty, he said. They
visited Snow Hill and then returned
to their plane.
After Mrs. Canning had gained
about fifty feet altitude, Turpin said
she found she could not work the con-
trolls. He believed some youngsters
had been tampering with the machine
during their absence. The pilot tried
to glide to the ground but the plane
nosed down and crashed. Both occu-
pants were caught in the wreckage.
The crash was the first serious ac-
cident experinced by Mrs. Canning
in four and a half years of flying.
