Tractor Takes "Nose
Dive" Into Cavern
By MRS. ELMER GRIFFITH
Although not an aviator, Donald
Heliker struck an "air pocket
while plowing on the Willow creek
farm Thursday afternoon and took
a "nose dive" which ended with the
tractor at the bottom of a hole, so
deep that the top of the cab was
even with the top of the ground.
The accident happened near the
bank of the creek and it is thought
the ground had been undermined by
beaver. Donald was not injured,
and owing to the fact that there
was a long hitch on the plows, they
were not jerked onto the tractor,
so no damage was done, except that
it required nearly half a day's work
by four men to get the tractor on
level ground again.

Seek Immunization
From Diphtheria
Parents may have no fear of diph
theria among their children if the
proper steps are taken, says Lucille

Six months after the immuniza

doctor to have the Schick test. This
will determine whether your child

protect them from diphtheria.
