Train DeruiIs,
10 Are Hurt

VAN VERT, Ohio, July 5
(AP)-Ten passengers were in
jured at 5::35 am. today when
the Pennsylvania Railroads
New York-to-O Chicago pasSen-
ger train, the General Trail
blazer. derailed nine miles
northwest of here.
The accident occurred at
Convoy, six miles east of the
Ohio Indiana line and about
Is miles southeast of Fort
Wayne, Ind.
A trailer-truck became stalled
on a crossing and was hit by
the train. The lead unit of a
three-unit diesel which hit the
trailer remained on the tracks,
but the other two units, an ex-
press car, a baggage car. a
lounge car and four coaches
derailed. None of the cars over
turned, but some were tipped
at a 45-degree angle.
The injured, taken to Van
Vert County Hospital for treat
ment, were expected to be dis
charged later in the day. The
sheriff's office said all were
suffering from bruises, sprainS
and shock.
About 1000 feet of track was
ripped up.
William Meadows of Macon,
Ga, the truck driver, said lis
trailer went off the side of
the road and got stuck in the
rails. He set a red flare and
then went to a telephone to
summon aid. Meanwhile the
train struck the trailer.
There was some heavy fog
in the area at the time of the
crash, authorities said. which
may have accounted for the in
effectiveness of the red flare.

Here are some ways the home
maker can use her power to the
best advantage.
She must express herself. II
an item of merchandise is faul-
ty, it should be returned to the
store. She should see that her
complaint goes directly to the
store manager or the manufac.
turer.
However, she must bear in
mind, many -of the things she
buys are mass goods at a mass
price, based on mass taste. If
the family's tastes are different,
it may be impossible to buy the
product or it may cost more.
American mass produced goods
mean that prices are low enough
so that more of us can afford
more items.
