(From the National Safe' Qounci1
of the United States)
All these odd little bappenI$igs,
and many others were uncovered
by the National Safety Council in
its roundup of freak accidents in
1955.
Gene Scott, of Rushville, Neb.,
had hoped his hunting, trip would
turn up something special. It did.
He got shot by his car door: Gene
was getting out of the •.car when
a gust 'of ,wind blew the door shut
on his coat pocket. In the pocket
was a rifle shell.
In New Liberty, Iowa, 12 -year-
old David Dahl placed his ,.rifle
against a ladder in the barn ,and
started to climb to the loft. His
dog Terry jumped on `the ladder,
struck the rifle trigger with his
aw,-and shot his -ascending mas-
ter just below the hayloft.
When Bobby Bright, of Gonzales,
Tex., reported that he had been
shot by a fish, no one could doubt
him. He had the fish, the.. gun and
the wound to prove it! A freshly
caught catfish flopped around in
the bottom of Bobby's boat, struck
the trigger of his rifle and shot
him in the• arm.
And in Detroit Mrs. Dorothy
Gazzeny brushed her teeth so vig-
orously she 'swallowed the tooth-
brush. Fortunately she had an-
other.
At least two dogs tried their
paw' at driving an automobile in
1955=a Doberman pinscher in Fort
Wayne, Ind., and a boxer in Black
River Falls, Wis. Both ended up
by crashing into something. They
also ended -up in the doghouse.
Timothy Davis made headlines
in Long Beach, Calif., by taking
his grandfather for a little spin in
the family car. The trip was
newsworthy for three reasons. One
was that the car tore off the porch
of a nearby house and came so
near running down a neighbor that
she fainted. The second was that

Traffic experts say it's safe to
go on the green light. Try to
tell that to motorist E. 'T. Drake,
Jr., of Atlanta! As Drake dal, -
fully obeyed an overhead traffic
light that flashed him a green go-
ahead signal, the light fell on top
of his ear and sent him to the
•hospital. Drake saw red.
The sign over the door of a used
car salesroom in Los Angeles said,
"We need your car—drive in"
Lewis Jackson, Jr., did—with his
throttle stuck. The car crashed
through a heavy wooden •door,
sideswiped two glistening cars on
the showroom floor, ran head-on
into a costly convertible, and
bounced the convertible into am
other car. They took down the
sign. .
Stanton Sapp and his brother
Daniel happened to run into each
other on- the street in their home

of course, if each of the brothers
hadn't been driving a car.
And in Copenhagen Mrs. Elsie
Sorensen and Karen. S"irk Lassen
couldn't resist the ..dance music
coming out of a radio in the Old

the hospital with broken legs.
Both dancers were 80.
Every theatrical act strives for
a knockout finish. The ballet
"Streetcar Named Desire" literal-

Nora Kaye whirled in the middle
of a pirouette during a New York

husky partner Igor Youskevitch
smack in the face, and he went
down for the eount.
To one family at least the most
important catch of the year wasn't
made on a baseball .diamond but
on a sidewalk outside an apart-
ment in Chicago, Mrs. Isobel
Gutierrez looked up to see her
three-year-old daughter teetering
on the edge of a narrow window
ledge 22 feet above the ground -
Mrs. Gutierrez raced over and
caught the falling child. Total
casualties—one small cut on the
girl's leg and cold chills for -the
mother.
In Milwaukee animal trainer
Robert Brierwirth had been pains-
takingly teaching two baby ele-
phants to step safely on and off a
small. platform 18 inches high. He
blithely tried it himself, slipped,
fractured his left ankle.
On the same day two plans were
brought down in the United States.
—not by anti-aircraft fire but by
a steer and a jackrabbit.
The steer was being chased
through a wheat field near Bre-
men, Ind., by a low-flying plane
whose pilot; Bob Unsicker, dived
again and again at the animal in
an attempt to guide it toward a
gate. Suddenly,.it leaped up and
was hit by, the plane's wheel. The
plane went out of control and
crashed into a treetop. The pilot
escaped with minor injuries.
The jackrabbit scored its hit
near Grand Forks, N.D. It did it
by the simple act of leaping high
into the air directly in the path
of a crop -dusting plane being
flown close to the ground by Leo
Mondry. A damaged propeller
forced the plane to land.
In Hollywood the Burns and Al-
len television show was using a

Last Friday night at the "At -
Home" saw the efforts and the
trials of the different committees
to make the formal well rewarded.
The gym looked spotless and beau-
tiful. The decorations were in
their right positions, and due to
the washing, pre -waxing and pol-
ishing of the Grade Nine boys,
plus the boys of other Grades, one
could almost see the reflection of
the decorations on the gym floor,.
Of course, you did have to use
your imagination, and you did
have to arrive before the floor be-
came crowded, but it was all there
to see. It was a very highly suc-
cessful dance and although there
were time that it was impossible.
to dance, ' it still, was worthwhile
to go and see what the ladies were•

MRS. NORMAN F. LEE
HENSALL —Mrs. Olive Evelyn
Lee, 59, wife of Norman F. Lee,
died Tuesday at her home in Lon-
don. Mrs. Lee was born in Mary -
borough Township, a daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. George Giles

Woodland cemetery, London.
wearing. However, the lunch was
arranged in such a way that there
were approximately 150 people at
a time off the dance floor down-
stairs eating lunch, and this clear-
ed some •' people out. Of course, as,
at every dance, there were some
mishaps and mistakes, and yet
that seemed to make the dance
more interesting trying to over-
come these faults.
A small note of thanks ,is due
to some of the merchants of Sea -
forth, who helpedto make, the
dance a success. Bole's and Whit-
ney's furniture stores lent furni-
ture to be used in the lounge and
smoking room; Mr.-Scoins lent
coat bangers, and Kung's lent
pipes to be used for coat racks..
To the people who were not here,
there were around 500 individuals
present, and over $600' was taken
m, •and after all of the hills were
paid there remained around $250.
Now that the formal' is over
with, the next big project to be
cleaned up is the year book. The
book, under the guiding eye of
Editor Marg Stuart, and her asso-
ciates, is to be finished by the
first of March. There have been
appointed in each classroom one
student, • or even a few, to write
up a section about their own class
room. It can be in poetry or prose,
according to the ' individual who
will be the' author.
Any essay handed into an Eng-
lish teacher, which the teacher
thinks is quite good, will be used
as material for the book:
The advertising committee has
almost completed all of its chore,
but the photography committee
could easily use any original can-
did photo involving one or more
students of the school.

Seaforth again this year will,
