Since the near-fata1 accident,
Tommy has been on a Federal
pension. He says that he had
never been sick a day in his life
before entering the Army in 1918,
but that his general health has
never been the same since the
accident.
Mr.. Blake was born at Fair
field, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Matthias Blake.
Mr.. Blake's wife is the former
Miss Myrtle Marie Gibbs of En-
gelhard.
One of Mr.. Blake's two sons,
Leroy Hoyt Blake, has been in
the Air Force for the last year.
He is now stationed in France.
The other son, Thomas Benjamin
Blake, is a junior at Swan Quar-
ter High School.
If 35 years seems like a long
time for Tommy to 60 with one
arm, he seems to keep it to him
self as he goes about the COM
munity with a CHEEKY smile for
those he meets.

THOMAS BLAKE
OWES HIS LIFE
TO WAR BUDDY
Story of a Hyde County Man
Who Survived Misfortune
for IS Years
BY TOM STUDDERT

Thirty-five years ago Sept. 81,
Thomas D. (Tommy) Blake, of
Fairfield, stepped aboard the
Army transport Sibony to sail for
France. He sailed with two good
arms, came back with one.
The fact that he returned at all
Tommy credits to Hyde County
buddy, Bland Fulford, of Engel-
hard.
Soon after the Armistice, their
outfit, Co. E, Seth Pioneer In
fantry, moved into Germany as
part of the Third Army of Occu-
patton.
At the time of the Armistice,
Tommy was laid up in a hospital
with an attack of flu.
Just after arrival in Germany,
Tommy was slated to 60 on guard
duty. After inspection, the relief
was sent individually to the
guard house.
AS he crossed the railroad
yards, a train without lights
caused him to step backward.
Another train without lights,
travelling in the opposite direc-
ton, banged its cow-catcher
against his rifle, tripping him and
throwing him forward into the
path of the train. The engine cut
off his right arm above the ell
bow.
BLAND Fulford was at the
guard house and heard me yell"
Mr.. Blake recalls. He ran over
and waited for the rest of the
cars to pass OIL was under the
train, with my arm hanging
arcross the track by a small
piece of skin-and then he took
off my belt and made a tourni-
quet across my chest to cut off
the flow of blood.
"He helped me to the guard
house, and then they got me to
hospital. They said I lost half
gallon of blood and would have
bled to death if it hadn't been
for old Bland Fulford."
That happened on Jan. II, 1918.
After being in a hospital in Ger
many for five or six weeks, Mr.
Blake was sent back to this
country, and was hospitalized in
New Jersey. He was discharged
at Fort Mcpherson, Ca, May 8,
1919.

he was reluctant to leave Fort
Raleigh and remove from Roa-
noke Island where he has his
home and has lived for more than
20 years, but having chosen the
National Park Service work for a
career, he figured that he should
go whereverthe service can use
him best. He said the fact that
the transfer carried promotion
in Civil Service grade and a com
parable salary increase together
with the expressed opinion of the
Director and the Reginal Direct
or that he is qualified to assume
increased responsibility, made
the decision much easier.
1t is expected that the trans
fer will become effective about
October Is. His successor at Fort
Raleigh has not been selected at
this time.

TRACTOR OPERATORS
MUST FLY RED FLAG

Raleigh. - Motor Vehicles
Commissioner Edward Scheidt
had a life saving suggestion to-
day for farmers and others using
farm equipment on the highways.
The vehicles boss asked farm
ers to mount a red flag on their
tractors and other farm equip
ment when operating them on
public highways. Although flags
are not required by law, Scheidt
issued the suggestion with the
hope that farmers would equip
their tractors voluntarily. He said
that one percent of the vehicles
involved in fatal wrecks last year
were farm tractors. The added
protection of a flag for tractors
being operated on the highways
is worthwhile, he said.
A few complaints have reached
the Motor Vehicles Department
from motorists who say slow
moving tractors being driven on
the highway are particularly haz-
ardous. Approaching motorists
often are unable to see them in
time to slow down or stop. While
agreeing with motorists, Scheidt
said that under existing laws
flags or other special warning
devices are not required.
He recommended that farmers
mount red flag or a red piece
of cloth which would extend at
least 4 feet above his equipment.

dies. His time of 81 seconds fiat
clipped six-tenths of a second
off the mark set II years ago
by Kincind of Catholic U.

and plays basketball and base
ball, mixes his sports readily.
Last season he represented the
university in boxing one night
and the next scored q points
in a basketball game.
Last week he pitched the base
ball team to a double header
victory. allowing two hits in one
game and three in the other.
Della Ratta's Is points in to-
days track meet topped both
schools.
Another meet record was set
by Jack Duhl, star Western
Maryland weight man, who hur-
led the discus 122 feet, ~ inches
to eclipse by one inch the 1887
mark set by Clevents Of Catholic
University.
