Accidents Report Two Injuries In Rural Iowa Farm Incident
Two separate accidents are reported. An eight year old, James Thompson, was seriously injured when a wagon loaded with oats ran over him on a Graettinger area farm, with combines operating nearby. He was taken to a physician in Emmetsburg and then to a hospital. Elmer Mammen and two sons escaped injury when his jeep left the Des Moines river approach and toppled into a ditch, with back injuries and shock reported for an neighbor boy. A third note mentions Lt Schwitters using a king size can opener to demonstrate emergency culverts for Seabees, derived from empty drums. The piece closes with a Jefferson quotation.
