Wrong Man Helped
By Service Crew;
Theft Suspected

When Walter Novitsky, truck
operator from Washington, D. c..

truck on Highway % near South
Potts Creek Friday morning he wa:
amazed to find that during the
night someone had pulled out the
tractor and carried it away. Mr.
Novitsky was proceeding north
with cargo of cardboard destined
for Baltimore when the vehicle
slipped off the snow covered high
way on the bill approaching the
creek from the southwest. 1t wa.
apparently impossible to do any
thing in the razing blizzard so the
driver went to the Clement tour
ist camp nearby and spent the
night, feeling that the vehicle and
cargo were virtually theft-proof.
County officers were notified
and started an investigation that re
vealed the tractor had been taken
to Salisbury by wrecking crew
from a garage there who had an
swered a call to come to the res
cue of stranded Fredericksor,
truck. Not seeing a truck Of this
concern in trouble, the crew is re-
ported to have decided there had
been mistake in identity, so the
tractor was pulled out and the load
ed trailor left in the ditch for fur
ther attention. Mr.. Novitsky was
informed of the situation and got
in touch with the garage, where ar
rangements were made to extricate
his trailer and put him on his way.
