Six youths escape serious injury after car overturns on county road
On Saturday at 15, a large car carrying six youths including Paul Spestow Alice Planck Gladys Philson Ruth Vaughn Carl Olson and Doyle Perry overturned on the country club drive.

Doyle remained under medical attention as of yesterday. Dosle Perry is cared for at his uncle W J Perry’s home.
