No witness was qualified to judge the condition of airplane motors from their sound, but all were under the impression that one or both motors were sputtering. Occasionally their roar was accelerated, as though the pilot was attempting either to get more power from them or was merely keeping his plane on an even keel while looking for a place to land. All witnesses noticed tnat the right wing was lower than the

left.

Finally the plane was only a few feet from the ground. That drooping wing scrapped the ground according to Mrs. Howe who was only 200 feet

plosion and fire followed at onco. Howe, who was doing his chores in the barn, came running out and he and Mrs. Howe ran as near- as they could to the blazing wreckage. They said that through the flames they saw at least two bodies The plant burned into 3 a. m. today. By 5 a. m. the wreckage had cooled sufficiently for provincial police and members of the Royal Canadian air orce, which has a station nine miles away, to begin removing the bodies which were being brought here for

identification.

The explosion scattered the plane's mail over a quarter of a mile, bursting open the pouches and even envelopes. Royal Canadian airmen picked up two checks payable to the Ford Motor Company of Detroit, one for $3,500, the other for $2,500. There were a number of letters from United States soldiers at Fort Bragg, N. C., addressei, to relatives in the Detroit

area.

Mrs. Howe had the best view. She was listening to her radio when the roar of airplane motors shook the windows. Planes from the bombing school of the Royal Canadian air force at Fingal, nine miles away, are over the Howe farmhouse so often she thought nothing of it. But the roar grew louder and she went to a window. She saw a plane very close to the ground. She ran outside and the plane seemed to be coming directly at her. Glued to the spot by fright, she couldn't move. The next instant, she felt, w’ould be her last. Suddenly the plane crashed and exploded just 200 yards away. The plane had circled around Lawrence Station for at least a half hour, residents said. Its circiings had aroused the entire community and within an hour some 200 farmers, their wives, and children, plus military airmen were watching the flames roar. Under the command of Flight Lieut. J. C. Foster, the airmen gathered the scattered mail and did what they could until provincial j police arrived and took charge.

happier for her. all of which she appreciated to its fullest. Her early life was spent in the vicinity of Cloverdale where she grew to womanhood and made a host of friends. She was an active church worker and her ideals were of the highest. Much of her mature life was spent in Arizona. She and Sylvan went there eighteen years ago in quest of health, and no doubt many years were added to their enjoyment. While in the far West numerous new friends were adiled to their already large number. Left to mourn her going are the' devoted husband, the father, two sisters. and one brother, a large number of close relatives arul a host of friends. Her chair by the fireside is vacant, her voice in conversation has ceased; but her memory will be cherished forever. What is our loss is her] eternal gain. We cannot call her i back. We would not call her back, but we can so live that when our summons comes that we will be ready to meet her on that shore where partings are no more.

t llltTTr ( Ol I1T NOTES

Damages of $.1,500 are asked by Clarence Hood from the Pennsylvania Railroad company for injuries received the night of November 22, 1940, when an automobile in which he was riding collided with a Pennsylvania Railroad train on the Craw-fordsville-Ladoga highway, in a suit filed in the Putnam Circuit court The complaint says Hood was a passenger in a car driven by Guy Eggers, Crawfordsville garage man. In the vicinity of the crossing at which the accident occurred, the highway parallels the railroad tracks, and the crossing is on an abrupt turn, it is claimed. The auto driver and the plaintiff both failed in the darkness to see a long train which was slowly moving along the track over the crossing until the car was almost against the side of tin? ttain. The driver attempted to turn aside but the rear of the auto was caught by

the train and in the resulting damage I crossing
