Two Lose Lives In
Auto Collision

Frank OFT and Frank Patterson, of
Wayne, Pa, both 10, early Sunday

Perryville on the Perryville road.
Patterson was killed almost in
stantly in the collision of their auto

Frank, escaped serious injury. A
motorist took him to an Elkton hos
pital for examination and emergency
treatment.
The three youths were riding in a
single-seated car. John Patterson

OFT. They were on their way from
a dance at Forest Green, between
Aberdeen and Arlington, to North
East, where they had cottage.
Corporal John Nowicki, of the
State police, who investigated the ac-
cident, said the machine attempted
to pass the truck, driven by Lorman

and collided with the fender OF the
other car, driven by Alfred r. Barn
er, of Perry Point. The truck ran
off the road, but was not badly
damaged. The Pennsylvania ma
chine turned over three or four
times and skidded 800 or 400 feet

1t is like that once in a

of reason why it should be:
four and a half miles over
thirty fences averaging five
feet in height and often
guarded. on one side or the

horses drawn from the

to win a race like that;
perhaps luck counts rather
more than it should. But it
isn't always the bad horse
that has the good luck;
sometimes it works the
other way round. as it did

his unexpected act.
