Some Dubious Thrills While at the New York World’s Fair, which we will cover in detail this week in stories, we had one dubious thrill which we would just as soon had not happened. Returning from the fair to our New Jersey “base of operations,” we were driving byway of the CrossBronx expressway, on the inside lane of three westbound lanes of heavy traffic. Aa we were driving along, for no apparent reason all of the cars ahead — some 14 or 15 that we could see —- suddenly stopped. Like a gigantic game of crack the whip, each succeeding car had had less and less time to get stopped. We just missed hitting the car ahead of us. Unfortunately, the large semi-tractor and trailer behind us couldn’t quite get stopped. Fortunately, if almost got stopped! Its huge heavy bumper crushed into the right rear of our car, spinning it out into the middle lane of traffic, right in front of a second semi. The second semi couldn’t change lanes as cars or trucks were on both sides of hipi. He hit his brakes, but crashed into the right front bumper and fender. Inside the car we were sitting in our seatbelts. We tried to get out of the car, and to the safety of the center strip. However, the force of the truck had moved the chrome strip on the right rear fender and door foreward, locking both right doors closed If you have ever been stopped on a three-lane one-way highway with hundreds of cars bearing down on you at 50 miles an hour, you can imagine how we all felt! The truck drivers stopped traffic, and we moved all three vehicles across the west-bound lanes to the safety of the grass emergency strip along the outer side. Then we started to work* Kach of us had to exchange our ers of vehicles, etc., etc., and notify the police. When the police arrived, we had to go through the same information for them. Quite fortunately, no one was even badly shak* en — although.you can well imagine that we felt pretty skittery about driving on that expressway! The next morning we got enough temporary repairs to make the car usable on the return trip, and then drove back out to the World’s Fair. That gave us enough confidence to make the 16-hour, 855 mile drive from New York City to Decatur via the New York Turnpike. We passed through about two or three * inches of snow just east of Syracuse, N. Y., but the snow wasn’t as white as we had turned'at the time of the accident! T V PROGRAMS Central Daylight Time

Jack Hurst Aids In Poisoning Os Fish Jack Hurst of Geneva, area stat* conservation officer, returned late Sunday evening from an unusual assignment in Brown county — the poisoning at total fish. A new lake, the Monroe reservoir, will cover a large part of southern Brown, south Monroe, and northern Lawrence counties. But before water can be impounded in the new area, certain things must be done. Hoge New Lake The huge new lake will, of course, be stocked with several thousand adult fish capable of spawning their first year. But a large population of undesirable fish, such as carp, gar, and gizzard shad, must first be killed. So conservation officers from all parts of the state, including Hurst, were called into Brown county. Each headed a gang of five men. Officer Hurat was assigned the south fork of Salt Creek; Merl Mass of Allen county. was assigned a gang on the Middle Fork. They arrived at the site ten days ago, and worked until late Sunday. Fish biologists had already made a study of Salt Creek, and found high populations of undesirable fish there. These fish would become a major part of the fish population of the new lake if not removed. Suffocate Rough Ftoh The officers used Rotenone, a fish toxicant that Is harmless to people, livestock, wild birds and animals, but which suffocates all fish. The fish that were thus killed were perfectly good to eat, and the local populace was so informed, and hundreds of them followed behind the gangs, collecting the fish as they floated to the top of the water. Each person was allowed a normal day’s catch of any game fish, and all of the rough fish they could carry. Hurst expected to be engaged in the process this week, too. hut the fish experts had underestimated the amount of poison necessary, and by the end if last week they had used up twice as much poison as had been originally secured. About two days’ work remains, and the local agents will supervise it, Hurst said. Spill Some Poison Hurst said he had spilled so much of the poison in his truck that he believed if he cleaned it out in Lewis Smith’s pond, he could clean the pOnd out. One of the most comical Mqp was Hurst’s attempts to Incite points of reference so they eould tell where to start each day. One day he would locate a house. But the government now owns the entire area, and each house is marked for destruction. And sure enough, the next morning the house was completely missing—the rock foundation was all that remained to mark the site. Trees are also being cleared awhy, so ho shags will remain to foul the lake, as has happened in

Roop was charged with not having a valid operator’s license, and cited to appear in justice of the peace court October 17. The mishap occurred in the 400 block of 12th street when Roop's auto collided with a car driven by Ramon R. Raudenbush, 51, of 111 W .Monroe St. Raudenbush had backed from a parking area into the street, and Roop backed from the same area and into the side of the Raudenbush auto.

The conservation officers saw many wild deer and other animals. such as Indiana grouse, while working, and reported the roads heavily clogged by sightseers enjoying the autumn leaves in Brown county over the weekend. They were very happy about not meeting one type of animal, however — no poisonous snakes, such as rattlesnakes or copperheads, were sighted.

One Hurt Slightly In One-Car Wreck One local youth was slightly injured and two others escaped injury in a one-car accident at 1:45 a. m. today east of the city. Darrell Lee Grice, 33, of 438 Mercer Ave., driver of the car, and a passenger, Cary Coffee, of Fifth St., escaped the crash without injury, but another passenger, Robert Landrum, 21, of 1038 N. Second St., received a back injury. The injury to Landrum was not considered serious, and he was released from the Adams county memorial hospital following treatment. The mishap occurred on U. S. 224, near the Franklin service station, just east .of the city, as Grice was operating Coffee's automobile. Leaving Town Grice was taveling away from Decatur and told investigating officers a pick-up truck was in front of his vehicle without any tail lights and that he didn’t see the other vehicle until it was too late to stop. He applied the brakes of the auto and skidded 140 feet sideways into the large sign in front of the Franklin station. Damage to the car was listed at S7OO by deputy sheriff Harold August. A 1984 automobile received an estimated 12,500 damage in another weekend mishap that occurred one-half mile south of Berne at 1:55 p. m. Sunday. Leonard Baumgartner of Berne had pulled off county road 27 onto U. S. 27, into the path of a southbound vehicle operated by Isaac Hall, 40, of Dayton, 0. Avoids Collision HaU applied his brakes in an attempt to avoid the Baumgartner vehicle, and finally had to swerve to the left. His auto went out of control and into the ditch, without striking the Baumgartner car, which was hot damaged State trooper Gene Rash investigated. A one-vehicle accident happened at 6:30 a. m. today, two miles west and two miles south of Berne on county road 36. Amos Neuenschwander, 67, of Berne, was southbound on the county road when the right rear wheel of his truck broke off, causing him to lose control inside a bridge. The vehicle then crashed into the side of the bridge. Neuenschwander escaped with only a few scratches on his hands, but his 1948 model truck was considered a total loss by deputy sheriff Warren Kneuss, who investigated.
