Diphtheria Ready
To Kill Children
‘‘The absence of what was once
a scourge amongst children
should not be allowed to lull pa
rents into a sense of apathy to
wards protective measures,” ob
serves Dr. S. C. Gawne, County
Medical Officer of Health for
Lancashire, England.
“If a feeling that active im
munization is no longer neces
sary should gain ground, then,
indeed, we should see the return,
perhaps with renewed vigor, of
what was once one of the most
deadly of childish ailments —
diphtheria.”
Exercise Caution At Corners,
Coroner's Jury Recommends
bad
A coroner’s jury investigating
the death in an auto accident of
Sidney Adamson, prominent
Blanshard township resident, re
commended Friday night that
more precaution should be taken
by motorists crossing intersec
tions, especially on township
roads where travel is too light to
warrant directional signals.
Mr, Adamson was driver of a
Car which Collided May 5 with a
cai* driven by Mrs. Olive Switzer,
of Blanshard township, at an
intersection of the eighth con
cession and thirteenth line Of the
township.
The jury found that Mr, Adam
son died Of a heavy blow from an
unknown object in the accident.
Mrs. Adamson, a passenger in
the car, died in St, Marys Mem
orial Hospital about three houts
later. Two other persons were
seriously injured, 6
During the hearing, Coronor
Melnnes pointed out that they
only had the evidence of Mt.
Harlton who had seen the two
cars and Mrs. Switzer.
He said there was no evidence
of speeding, but there seemed a
laxity on both patties in not
watching the intersection.
The jury deliberated one hour
and IO1 minutes, finding Mr.
Adamson died by collision of his
motor vehicle, driven by himself,
and one driven by Mrs. Olive
Switzer, Blanshard township,
“Evidence given by Mrs. Olive
Switzer said she saw the Adam
son car approximately 100 yards
away, the width of the school
yard, east of where the collision
happened. The photos which we
have, show Mr, Adamson must
have noticed the Switzer car
coming and tried to turn left at
the intersection to go with the
Switzer car which would without
doubt lighten the impact con
siderably.
"This intersection is without
doubt otte that is cleat every way
and is one of the best in Blan
shard township and we the jury
feel that .there should be more
precautions taken with motor
vehicles in crossing intersections,
especially on township roads
when travel is lighter than to
warrant directional signals.
"Mr, Adamson received a heavy
blow from some uktiown object
from the accident, death being
caused by a brain damage, be
cause of some neglect to notice
or not to notice there was an on-
coming car for both patties.”
