what I did, but I accepted the
latter.” said Leo VanDolson, as
he told the Pilot about his upset
near Winchuck river Monday eve
ning about 9. “The road was a
bit slippery as I tried to dodge the
fellow as I w’as almost on top of
him before I realized it. The car
did a complete spin, went into
the ditch and tipped over on its

While little damage was done.
Leo VanDolson figures it could
have been bad. had he been driv-
ing^aster. The skunk disappeared
intb the night, unaware of the
test he put the clergy to by his
actions.
