SECOND YOUTH
ESCAPES DEATH
WhitlOck Is Discharged From
Hospital; Borrowed Car Is
Demolished

James A. Hendrix, II, was
killed instantly and Roy Whitlock,
10, suffered painful injuries early
Saturday afternoon when the auto
in which they were riding smash
ed into two utility poles in Ere
mont Road, near the entrance of
Erie Gardens.
First reports were that Whit
lock had suffered a broken back
and that he was near death.
After being taken to Magruder
Hospital, Whitlock was treated
for back injury, but x-rays dis
closed that the back was not
broken. The youth was released
Monday.
Hendrix and Whitlock were rid
ing in a convertible coupe, which
they repeatedly were testing for
a friend. 1t was believed the
driver lost control of the car
when it slipped onto the BERN,
after passing another auto trav-
cling in the opposite direction.
The accident happened as Hen
dirk and Whitlock were return
ing to Port Clinton after testing
the car in Fremont Road. The
coupe veered across the road,
snapped off a large o. P. S.
utility pole across from Hetrick's
Grocery Store, overturned sever
al times and smashed into sec
ond pole.
Hendrix and Whitlock were
thrown from the car when it hit
the first pole. 1t was believed
that Hendrix was killed instant
ly when he was thrown to the
pavement.
Bay Township customers of the
0. ,P. S. Company We're without
lights, and electrical service for
several hours until linemen could
repair damages done by the car,
Delbert "Del" Hetrick, owner
of the Hetrick Grocery, and Spec
ial Policeman Robert McCrary
were among the first at the scene
of the accident. They held Whit
lock on the Erie Gardens boule-
ward until ambulances arrived.
The automobile was wrapped
around the second telephone pole
and was demolished. Top of the
convertible was smashed down SO
that the car looked as though it
was only half as high as custom
airy.
Police records show that the cal
was owned by Kenton London
Fremont Road, and that Mr. Hen
dirk was driving the car at the
time of the accident
First in Months
Hendrix death was the first
traffic fatality within the city
limits since May Is, 1948, when

Health and
Beauty
Alcohol Undermines Health
And Character
DR.. Sophia Brun.on

Addiction to narcotics eventually
undermines health and character.
The one most commonly used is
alcohol which is dangerous mar
--cotic. The chronic drinker some
times lives for many years. He
drinks in what he calls moderation
and usually takes his whiskey we'll
diluted. If he should imbibe large
amounts at time he would great
1y hasten his death.
Alcohol has an affinity for the
higher brain cells which are locat-
ed in the cerebrum intellect The
animal passions located in the cere-
bellum or little brain are stimulat-
ed. The brain of man who is
drunk can be compared to runa-
way horse who has become wild
and unruly and has thrown the
driver from his seat into the mud
and is running recklessly to his own
doom.
The materia medica says: "The
power of judgment is abolished
very early by alcohol; this is so
while the imagination, the emotion,
and the power Of speech still re-
main stimulated; but soon the pow
.er of imagination goes. The pa
tient then loses all command over
his emotions and he cries and
1aughes irregularly, but this soon
stops. He next begins to lose con-
troll over his speech, talking inco-
herently and thickly, shortly, after
wards he cannot talk at all, but can
-'only make noise. Muscular move
ments are next affected. The pa
tient goes from one stage of deter
ioration until he is paralyzed. Even
the reflex centers of the spinal
cord are abolished. The respiratory
center which was stimulated at the
first becomes paralyzed and breath
ing is difficult until it ceases alto
.gether and the patient dies"
Most drinkers are in a chronic
state of poisoning. They do not
drink enough to kill them at once,
but the constant taking Of small a.
mounts Of alcohol is detrimental to
the whole system and especially to
the brain.

With the 80. A.
NAKED EYE

During the last two weeks local
weather conditions have been af-
fected by the passing of three
Tropical Disturbances.
It appears that the first one orr
ginated over the north-e eastern
corner of the Caribbean Sea and
that the others formed somewhat
to the east of that area.
This indicates that the elements
which contribute to the formation
of Disturbances are present and
active, and that they are moving
out into the middle and (probably)
the eastern reaches of the south
ern North Atlantic Ocean-the
area which produced every devas
tating Hurricane experienced in
this Island.
If this is actually the case, sys-
tematic attention to local wealth
er conditions during the next fort
night seems advisable and in any
case should prove interesting.
Those without benefit of Baro-
meter, Barograph or Radio, might
be interested to know that reliable
advance notice of a Storm and it's
probable course can be obtained
from a brief but regular observa-
ton of the Sea as well as of the
Sky.
AS far as the Sky is concerned,
the u. S.>Weather Bureaus Bulle-
tin No. 80 (19O2) states in part as
follows
'The latest confirmation of the
general rule that high Cirrus
Clouds flow from the Hurricane

the center is moving, comes

interest amateur observers to
mention that the first hint of
the recent Storm was given by
the Sky. A careful observatory
of some high Clouds on Tuesday,
September 10, at S p. m, show ;
