BOMBER FORCED LANDING
NEAR WILLIS WHARF

When flares We're dropped from a
bomber near Willis Wharf, early
Tuesday morning OF last week, resi-
dents Of the Exmore-Wilhs Wharf
community crawled out of bed at
5:25 O'Clock to witness a spectacle
they had not before seen.
They were not alarmed, and they
were sure that plane was in dis
tress, and this was borne out when a
BIS running short of gas made a
forced landing $50 yards north Of
Cunjar channel, near Hog Island.
The plane, carrying seven men,
was said to have been not seriously
damaged, and the crew members es-
capped unhurt. The plane circled over
the Exmore- Willis Wharf commun-
ity about one-half hour. 1t was said
that the pilot, though flying land
plane, tried to ease the bomber into
the inlet, which he did, but there hap
pened to be only twelve inches of
water, it being low tide.
Little Machipongo, Hog Island and
Paramore Beach Coast Guards were
soon at the scene, ready to give as
sistance. A salvage crew was said
to have arrived which included an
amphibian tank and two trucks.
AS the flares dropped in the early
morning near Willis Wharf, the skies
were Frightened, and it was said that
a newspaper could be read by the
light.
One resident was reported to have
called his wife upon seeing the flares,
saying: my c., Lucy, it's time
to go over to Mas and get in the
cellar!"

UNUSUAL AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT IN CECIL co.

A rather unusual automobile acct
dent, which but for a miracle, would
have proved fatal for the occupant
of the car, occurred early on Wednes-
day morning of last week at Willis
ton, Cecil County mill pond, when
Marvin Todd, 19-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Norman H. Todd of Har-
mony, crashed his car through the
guard rail and plunged into twenty
five feet of water.
Although all the windows of the
car were said to have been closed,
young Todd managed, after several
minutes, to free himself from the car
and come to the surface where he
was thrown a rope by one of the
crowd, who hearing the crash, had
come to investigate.
Although completely exhausted and
almost unconscious when hauled to
shore, Todd was soon brought to nor
NAL by artificial respiration. He was
given first aid treatment for head
and arm injuries and later was re
moved to the Emergency Hospital,
Easton.
The accident, which occurred about
7 A. NJ, was believed to have hap
pened when Todd, who was returning
home from Wilmington, fell asleep at
the wheel and failed to negotiate the
sharp curve at the north end of the
pond. The car crashed into the rail
on the right side of the road, going
south.
Later in the day, the car, consider
ably damaged, was recovered.

but I didn't iron. I swept the house
and busted.
"Mrs. Leffert in the Bronx told
me she would pay me five dollars
a week but she only gave me two
dollars the whole time I was there,
except that she gave me a quarter
once to go to the movies and once
she gave me dime to add to my
fifteen cents so I could go to the
movies. Mrs. Leffert told me she
was sending the rest of the money
down to Virginia to pay for my
bus fare and for my clothes.
81 slept on a folding cot in the
front room.
~ had to work so hard and she
wouldn't let me out of the house be-
cause she was afraid I would meet
some other girls and they would
ask me why 1 was not in school.
I kept telling her I wanted to go
home to my mother in Richmond
but she said I would have to fur
nish the bus fare and anyway
could not go to Richmond unless
wanted to walk. One day she asked
me to wash the windows and I got
dizzy sitting on the windowsill and
almost fell out. Then I said would
quit and go home no matter what
happened and I left the pail of
water on the floor and told her
was going home. She told me to
give her the uniform and I did and
put on my own clothes and started
out with my suitcase but she would
not let me take the suitcase and
wouldn't let me take any of my
clothes. She told me her husband
had picture of me and he would
call the police and they would put
me in reform school. I finally
walked out the door and down the
street but she came after me and
took me back. Then I went across
the street to a laundry where some
colored girls are working. One of
the girls gave me nickel and I
went back in the house and the
woman took the nickel away from
me.
FINALLY I just walked on away
from the house and one of the girls
from the laundry took me to an
office (later identified as the Legal
Aid Society. From there I was
taken to the N.A.A.C.P."

The whole story came to light
when the N.A.A.C.P., asked Atty,
Florence Lucas, of this city, to re-
cover the clothes of Elizabeth,
which the child claimed Mrs. Lef-

from the Bronx home. Elizabeth

the bus and told me she would be
