traveling at a high rate of speed,
went out of control Friday eve
ning. Feb. 8, near the corner of
Modoc road and Table Rock road
where it struck and snapped off
a telephone pole. The damaged
car was pulled from it entangle

tractor and later taken away
for repairs. If this heavy pole
had not been in the path of the
car, it would very likely have
crashed into the house only a
short distance away which is oc
cupied by the Arthur Sharp fam

foreman for Columbia Utilities,
the broken pole was one of the

expense in money and labor, are
just being completed.

breaks or shorts, until our neigh
bor Jim Fleischer, the sharp

between the contacts in the pres
sure switch. The small bug in e
tight place was large enough to
break the contact, and stop the
works.
