mb M Dade County’s Only Newspaper. VOLUME LVI PRANK CALL A prank ambulance call Thursday night resulted wasted time and money on part of two ambulances, county and Chattanoogo officers. Hobert Wilhite, operator the Plaza Courts and the Dade Ambulance Service in England Ga., reports he re¬ ceived a call Thursday night and says that the person who held the telephone did not talk but he heard someone near the phone say “Tell him that some one on Sand Mountain has been hurt and would meet him on the square in Trenton", and then they hung up. Minutes after the local call, a call came from Chattanooga that a Bryan Ambulance had been cleared through police traffic channels, and just as he (Wilhite) drove out onto the highway the Bryan Ambulance came over the hill at New England. They came on to Trenton where Wilhite stopped, the CJiaLtanooga ambulance moti¬ oned for him to follow. The Bryan Ambulance had recived instructions to go to the td£> of Sand Mountain to the first gas station on the left. When they got to the top they found noth¬ ing, as did the approximately 100 cars who followed them. Everyone has heard of the little boy who hollered 'Wolf" too often, but ambulances will go to a s^ene when called because they never know weth¬ er it’s a prank call or not, how¬ ever it is a bad joke. Mr, Wil¬ hite says he thinks the call was put through by a group of young people probably at a party who wanted to see which ambulance would get to Tren¬ ton first, as the calls were timed so the two ambluances would be close togeather. As for the string of cars who followed the ambulances, it is a dangerous thing to do and in some states it is against the law. It hinders the service of jthje units, wheather it is ambulance or fire engines. Mike Nethery Injured Mike Nethery, 11, was injured slightly Friday when struck by a car driven by Bob Reeves,, of South Trenton. Mike, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Nethery of Trenton was riding his bicycle when he ap¬ proached the street between the Georgia Power Company and the El Rancho Courts and was struck by the slow moving car.
