Wreck Story
By Detroiter

An eyewitness account Of death
and destruction AZ the DeGey,
Ind, train wreck was given By A
Detroiter. 1t. Harry Urbamek. in
a telephone call to his sister early
today.
trbdmek, passenger on the
Miami-bound flIer phoned his sis
ter. Mrs. Frank Kurkowski, 27l4
Holbrook. Hsmtramck. to let her
know he had escaped injury.
lie said he and group of army
filters were en- route from Fl.
Sheridan, Ill, to Miami, Fla, after
30-day leaves.
Its nearly two hours since
the trains crashed" he told her,
land they're still dragging
bodies from the wreckage.
I'm shaking like leaf. It's
Just terrible; I've never imag-
ined anything so bad"
FORM RESCUE CREWS
Urbamek said ambulances had
been rushed 10 the scene, but
facilities for handling the wounded
were inadequate. Many of those
not injured formed rescue crews
10 save victims still in the cars.
"All Of us lost our baggage
and clothing, I'm sure" he said,
but we're lucky to get out
alive"
Urbamek's leave was granted
after 81 successful missions as a
navigator in Liberator bomber
over the Mediterranean theater of
war, among them raids on Roma
man oil fields. Austrian cities and
the first American raid on the
city of Rome.
THE CLOSEST CALL
"The dangerous missions We
went on over there we're plenty
tough" he said land we had
plenty OF close calls. But the
closest caii|I've had yet was
right here in the United States
on that train"
Urbamek graduated from Ham,
tramck High School and was at
tending Wayne University and
working at Murray Body Corp.
When he enlisted He and his wife,
the former Henrietta Bamas, 20,

left, and the preacher drove hur- riedly by.
 The parsons conscience dictat ed that even a skunk could not be left in distress, and the problem of disposing of it presented itself. Finally he decided to call for as sistance at the police station. Russ Moves was on duty, and after listening to the humanitarian ap- peal, he frightened his Sam Jones belt and proceeded to share the problem.
 The skunk was still on the road, and it was revealed that it's head was imprisoned in a small glass jar. T don't know what to do" said Russ. "Why don't you shoot it and put it out of it's misery?" said the preacher. "If I get close enough to shoot it with this pistol," said Russ, "the critter is likely to shoot first"
 A half hour of watching and waiting and wondering elapsed, and then a neighbor came out to see who was disturbing his sleep and why. He returned to his house and came back with shot gun. One shot from safe distance proved sufficient. The animal rolled over on it's side, made a few spasmodic motions with it's feet, and then, as a final gesture to the cruelties of fate it filled the air with that discharge that has won for it's species it's unsavory reputation.
 Satisfied. that it's sufferings were over, the minister discreetly left others to perform the last rites.

A WORTHY CAUSE

The canvass for the support of the Federated Church which will take place on Sunday, November 19 is worthy of special note. An appeal will be made to the com munity to contribute to an in creased budget made necessary by damage to the church building as result of the hurricane and to make possible sorely needed re- pairs to the Parish House.
 It is hoped that civic pride in these two buildings which stand conspiciously in the center of the Town will cause ready and ac- curate response to the plea for funds to put them in good repair. They are the Towns most praise worthy possessions.

SHOULD BE ANNUAL AFFAIR

The outstanding success of the Towns Halloween party carries more than it's own compliment to the originators and promoters of the idea. It obligates the group to make the affair an annual event.
 As was clearly demonstrated on this occasion, the provision of such an opportunity for parents and children of the Town to be kids at play together was heartily wei comed by all alike.
 It should require nothing more than the echo of either the riotous plaudits of the record crowd at tending the parade which inauger- ated the evening festivities, the gleeful cheers of the 400 tots that crowded both floors of the Parish House, or the gaiety of the throng of costumed grown-ups in the high school gym to inspire those who assumed charge this year to start now with the formation of lively committee and the preparation of plans for even bigger affair next year.
 The rendered entertainment and resulting fun by no means meas ures the sum total of the good emanating from such gatherings. They widen the circle of friends and promote a town-wide amity to the end of making the commun- ity an extremely pleasant and de- sirable place of residence.
 As a Halloween event it provides an adequate and genteel outlet for the abundant energy of the mischievous. In contrast to record of extensive property de- struction throughout the Town on previous Halloweens only one case of material damage was reported here this year.

THE HURRICANE DAMAGE

A check-up of the damage done in Bloomfield's parks as a result of the recent hurricane reveals the destruction of several of the finest trees. Naturally enough, the heav- fest loss occurred in Filley Park where five of the largest oak trees were up-rooted. In falling they de- stroyed number of naples. Sev- eral small ash, oak and hickory trees were up-rooted also.
 More noticeable and perhaps comparable in value when meas ured by it's intrinsic worth is the loss suffered by the destruction of the Constitutional Oak on Roberts Green. This tree was given the Town of Bloomfield by the State in commemoration of the Consti- tutional Convention by the State Legislature in which session of the Reverend William Martin Brown of the Congregational Church serv- ed as representative. In the nearly half century since this small sap- ling was set out with appropri- ate ceremonies it had grown to a fine symmetrical tree to become the ornamental feature of the Center Park.
 As compared with the damage done in the big blow of 1888 when between forty and fifty trees, most of the hard wood variety measur- ing from eighteen to twenty inches in diameter, were felled, the total of the destruction caused by this years storm may seem light but when everything is taken into ac- count, including the cost of clear ing' the present fallen timber, the extent of the current loss becomes more evident. On this occasion the salvage will be negligible. It is in- deed great community loss when such fine old trees which have taken from a half to a full century to come to maturity are laid low by the ruthless forces of nature.

 Notification of the death of Giannette came on October 19.
