t lfnf«FFIC ACCIDENT
Cbristmn6 Fvd, after the shew,
Mrs. Ln Valley a nr1 small daughter
of Wasilln were crossing the street
in front of the recreation hall, to
board the Bus for the home trip,
when a car driven by Clyde King Jr.
of Palmer, struck them an? cause?
severe bruises an? a shock that
caused some worry on the part of
friends and relatives. However,
a close examination was made by Er«
Hoehn an? no serious injuries were
found. The car was not approaching
at a fast speed, and a skim of ice
covered, the ground, where the ac
cident occured. Mrs. La Valley
was pushed a sh~rt distance by the
bumper and the front wheel, but the
little girl had the unusual ex
perience of having a car pass com
pletely over her bc^y. It is in
deed lucky that this accident was
no more serious than it was and two
suggestions were made by people who
saw the accident that might help to
prevent this from happening again.
Ore suggestion was that a light
cover f cindefcs on the ice forma
tion would enable drivers of cars
to stop easier, and the other was
that a street light would enable
people to see where t^ey were go
ing, and cars, coming.
