Pleasant Summer?
Buss Says It Had
Several Drawbacks

Irwin Buss, industrial arts in
|Structor, returned to Redwood
Falls this week with story of an
overly eventful summer which
can't end too soon to suit him.
Latest misfortune was an auto
accident Saturday near Shakopee
when car suddenly turned into
his path while travelling on the
three lane pavement and he had
to side swipe another to avoid a
headon collision. No one was hurt
but the cars were damaged.
Earlier in the summer Buss was
bound for the north woods on "a
camping expedition, his camera,
gun, fishing rods and tackle (He is
la champion caster), clothing and
numerous priced possessions stor-
led in a trunk which he had built
on the back of his car and which
served as a refrigerator when in
the woods. Stopping for gas, he
found the strong clamps which
held it in place had broken on the
bumpy road and the trunk and
contents were gone. He retravel-
ed II miles but found no trace.
Mr.. Buss' spirits weren't revived
any when he learned that the high
school had burned, damaging the
shop and equipment which he has
devoted considerable time to i'm
prove in the last two years.

Man Loses Hand
Cranking Tractor

Janesville - Louis HintZ, Ga,
had his hand nearly torn off at the
wrist last week when he got it into
a machine while working with a
road crew.
He was starting big caterpil-
lar tractor and while cranking
was holding a small lever on the
magnetic that is designed to trip
the impulse and increase the
spark. When the motor started,
the cuff of a buckskin glove
caught on the pin on the magnetic,
although it extends only five-six-
teenth on an inch above the shaft
and is rounded off. His hand was
wound around the shaft until the
glove broke. The hand was barely
hanging to the wrist when he was
rushed to hospital where it was
amputated.
