Two Men Killed By 5-Truck Pileup During Heavy Fog Chicago U.R), Two men were killed when five trailer trucks piled up in a series of rear-end collisions during a heavy fog Wednesday. One of the dead, Clarence Wade, Louisville, Ky., was killed by one o the trucks involved in the giant pileup when he climb ed from the cab of his truck and 6ought to warn away approach ing vehicles with a flare. He was struck by a truck loaded with sheets of stainless steel and driven by Edward Tull, Mattoon, 111. Steel Crashes Cab The force of the collision when Tull's vehicle struck the pileup ripped the steel loose and it battered through Tull's cab, crushing him instantly. Police said a truck driven by Edward Brown, East St. Louis, 111., was proceeding slowly along the Lincoln Highway near State street in the suburb of East Chi cago Heights. Third Truck Crashes The second truck, driven by Richard Bowers, 27, Oroville, O., rammed into Brown's vehicle. Wade's semi-trailer struck the pileup of Brown and Bower's vehicles. The fourth truck was driven by Tull. It hit Wade, then veered into the smashup. The last truck in the pileup was driven by James Crupp, 64 Louisville. By April, 1953, 2,000,000 Brit- i: : i - "?

Stabilization Board has ruled i AC3A80C9ef ! 0 DRIVE A CHRYSLER HAMLIN MOTOR COMPANY 121 NORTH BARTLETT STREET that it lacks authority to order company wide bargaining in labor-management dispute. The board voted 8 to 4 Tues day, with labor members dissent ing, to send a demand by the CIO United Autoworkers for a contract covering 10 Borg-War- ner Co. plants back to the parties for negotiation.

Be tween 6,000 and 10,000 lives could be saved each year through adequate, modern lighting. That estimate, made by the National Street and Traffic Safety Lighting Bureau, was based on the increase In auto mobile accident rates during the after-dark hours. On a mileage basis, the bureau said, the night death rate is three times the day rate in urban areas, two and one-half times In rural ar eas, and two and four-fifth times nationally. On the basis of the number of vehicles operating, the night death rate is four times the day rate. The 1950 traffic death toll, bureau figures showed, was 20, 000. Instead, with adequate lighting, the rate should have been between 3,750 and 5,000. Lover's Oak Famous As Largest in South Brunswick, Ga.

At that point, it branch es into ten limbs,- each measur ing from twelve to 30 Inches in diameter.
