Weir of Phoenix was fatally injured when struck by a car. Evidently he had been in Berkley's confectionery store in Phoenix and had just started to cross the street to a waiting car when the accident occurred. Warren Mapes of Route 2, Ash land. driver of the car that struck young Weir, reported that Weir stepped in front of his car so suddenly that he had no time to apply the brakes or to turn out to avoid the accident. Weir was carried on the h«xxl of the car about 50 feet before he rolled off. The doctor reported that he suf fered a fractured skull, a crushed chest, a broken ieg and severe bruises. He died without regain ing consciousness about a half hour after the accident. Since his parents feel that the accident was seemingly unavoid able, no inquest was held. Funeral services were held in survived by his parents and six Conger chapel Tuesday, Rev. Miles — ’ ‘ “ Brownrigg officiating.

The survey resulted from favor- ' able action of the city council to a suggestion by the state aeronau tics board that the city supply a 1 I u. ftlji site for a class B defense airport. . Devaney was in attendance at the ! i.li * u council meeting and stated that he would be glad to Assist the city In securing federal aid should an acceptable site be provided. The ' council voted to make application to the WPA for the money and if it is approved all work will be done by the WPA. Two of the possible sites inves tigated were the old Ashland air port and the Ashland golf course property. It was believed that either of these locations would provide the required 4,500-foot ’ landing strip which also must be * 6200 BABIES ARE BORN,— 500 feet wide in order to provide 3900 COUPLES a glide-angle of 30-1 ratio.
