RUT where were the Whites? They
had gone over the mountain to

in the water telephone call came that
their house was on fire. Hurrying
down the road home, Mrs. White
started to pass car on one of those
little hills when up popped a car
going in the other direction. She
tried to pull back behind the car she
had started to pass and hit it. Then
the on-coming car hit her and over
the hill came still another automobile
that hit all three of the wrecked cars.
In the car with Mr. and Mrs. White
were Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Young and
Mrs. Harry Frost. Nineteen people
were in the four cars, but, fortunately
none OF them were hurt and only one

The announcement said:
"While agencies, such a.

may perform services directly
or indirectly concerned with the
administration of State unem-

the board will not, excepting
two definitely limited situations,
compensate the States for the
services of these agencies"
The two exceptions are where
State can show that an office

as q unit of the unemployment

where the States overhead service
