Aged Pair Injured In Street Collision
Mr and Mrs Charles Carlson of Roosevelt street suffered severe injuries when Mrs Marjorie McDole Shaffer driving a Ford struck them as they crossed the Second and Franklin street intersection.

The two elderly residents have endured prior illnesses and face a long recovery. Witness accounts vary on whether bright truck lights contributed, with later reports suggesting Shaffer turned the corner short and the Carlson couple were waiting for a truck to pass before crossing.
