SEVEN YEAR OLD
GIRL SEVERELY
HURT BY AUTO
Little Fay White Has Leg BrOk-
en- BY A Hit-And-Run Driv-
er, Sunday Night
ACCIDENT OCCURRED
ON CEDAR HALL ROAD

An attractive little curly haired
girl, z years old, beloved by her par
ents and by all who know her, was
left on the highway Sunday night
about dusk after being struck down
by a hit-run driver.
Little Fay White, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Russell White, the latter
the former Miss Mary Bounds, resi-
dents of Cedar Hall neighborhood,
rode down the lane from her home on
bicycle to post letter. On the edge
of the highway she was struck by a
car headed toward Pocomoke City.
Another car, proceeding in the op-
posite direction and it is understood,
the direction in which little Fay was
riding had passed when the accident
occurred. Mr.. Elias Benson. neighbor
living in Pitts Creek neighborhood,
heard the crash, found the little girl
lying by the side of the road and i'm
mediately summoned help. She was
removed as quickly as possible to the
Peninsula General Hospital in Sails
bury where it was found one leg was
broken in several places both above
and below the knee and otherwise
injured.
Little Fay instead of joyfully join
ing her companions in their return to
school this week lies in the hospital
with her limb in a cast, suffering and
probably manned for life, the victim
of a hit-run driver, who cares so little
for human life that he can drive on
without backward glance.
Some accidents are unavoidable but
one can at least stop and render as
sistance and possibly save life by so
doing.
