New Dover Bridge Debris
Being Cleared Up Today
Structure Falls
Beneath Truck
Friday Afternoon
Two Men are Unhurt
Although One Gets
Ducked in Icy Creek

Wreckage of the old iron
bridge over Mill Greek on u. S.
Route SO, near New Dover, was
being cleared away today after
it collapsed underneath a semi
trailer truck outfit about 4 p. m.
Friday. Two men in the truck,
when the bridge fell, escaped un-
hurt
Driver of the truck was Robert
R. Kelso, %, 482 Fairfield ave-,
Columbus, and. his helper, Robert
Hill, "a, 500 Edwards ave-, CO.
lumbus.
The truck which was finally re-
moved from the wreckage late
Saturday, was owned by William
w. Callif and Son, fruit and pro-
duce dealers of Columbus.
Kelso said that, as he drove on
to the bridge, Hill asked him:
Don't you think this bridge
is kind of shakY?"
: I told him. No. it's just
little rough. Kelso said, and
next thing knew. we were in
the water"
Hill was thrown out of the cab
and into the icy-coated waters
of Mill Creek, approximately
four feet deep at that point. He

ceiving a cold ducking

he added. I don't know what
I'd have done if it had been me

The two men were headed to-
ward Marysville, where they
er produce to three stores. These
were to deliver potatoes and 9TH
er produce to three stores. These
three places, plus the Dublin
Night Club, were to have been
their last stops, so the truck was
nearly empty.
Kelso estimated the load re-
naming in the vehicle at less
than ton, mostly potatoes.
A State Highway Department
repair crew was patching the
road near the bridge when it
caved in. AS soon as they realized
what had happened, they set up
road block to stop approaching
traffic.
Oddly enough, none of the
highway workers heard the
bridge fall, although they were
only a short distance away.

of the men said. was when /

VFW Will Observe

Objections Over FIaq

The Veterans Of Foreign Wars
went ahead today with plans for
full cooperation In the United
Nations Day observance. October

jected to flying the q. N. flag with
the stars and stripes on public
buildings.
Comdr. Charles c. Rails de-
clared, Nothing has changed my
personal. fundamental objection to
detracting from Old Glory by dis
playing the U. N. flag either above
it, around it or by the side Of it. :"
Strong Believer in U. N.
But the VFW," he added in q
message to all posts and auxil-
iaries. ''is a strong believer in the
U. N. and wants its anniversary
celebration to be q success"
Mr.. Rails had complained that
the Agriculture Department was
fostering a scheme to supplant
the American flag with that Of the
U. N. by helping to distribute pat
terms with which modern Betsy
Rosses" could make U. N. emblems
The department retorted that
such a charge was grossly false" ="
Explaining he had no objection
to flying the U. N. flag over
U. N. establishments, Mr.. Rails
stated today: -
with the success of q. N. Day
in mind. I am suggesting that
this year any display Of the U. N.
flag in connection with the Amer
ican flag should be confined to
October "a and that the official
flag code regulations giving the
American flag the honored posi-
ton be strictly observed"
Flag Display Encouraged.
The Veterans Advisory Group
to the National Citizens Commit
tee for United Nations Day also
issued a statement encouraging
display of the U. N. flag accord
ing to the flag code Of the United
States and always accompanied
by the American flag in the posi-
ton of honor"
