No injuries other than slight cuts and bruises were incurred, but in each case, cars were said to be Harold Stephens, agent Cotton States Insurance Co., narrowly escaped serious injury when his late model automobile overturned several times on the Lookout Mountain highway. Mr. and Mrs. O. J. (Junior) Hod- nett, who had just passed the spot where the wreck occured, chanced to look back and repor¬ ed that Stephens’ car “flijJ- flopped” from the top of the last horseshoe curve down onto the highway below, landing right side up in a ditch along¬ side the pavement. Glass was broken out of windshield and the top was ly crumpled, according to who passed the scene. Mr. Mrs. Leonard MlcKaig, who on their way from the to church in Rising Fawn, ported the accident to Wall, who towed in the car with his wrecker. Sand Mountain was the gen¬ eral location given for the acci¬ dent which also could have taken the life of James Painter. According to Sheriff Blevins, had it not been for a tree, the youth’s car would ha v e plunged off the bluff. The prob¬ able cause was given as a high rate of speed which caused the car to travel along the lefthand shoulder of the road for about 400 feet, then cross over to the other side for about 100 feet be¬ fore hitting a pine tree and com¬ ing to stop against another. Twenty-Five Receive Flu Vaccine Here There are now at least 25 Dade Countians who can feel reason¬ ably sure that the much pub- licized menace, Asiatic flu, won’t bother them this winter. Dr. N. H Hutchison has given the cine to that number, as mended by the state board of health, and as he receives it. Those who are receiving the shots first are those persons upon whose livelihoods the com- munity depends, such as public utility, personnel, postal ers, one employee of the bank and the staff of the Trenton Clmic. Some are still in th pro¬ cess of getting their shots. For the curious, the vaccine, which is rather made from eggs into which the live virus has been mot as expensive as one might think for so scarce a commodity. Here in the county one may re¬ ceive both the American and the Asian flu shots for $6, or one of either for $3, while some of our Chattanooga neighbors are pay¬ ing exhorbitant prices, we have heard. There is slight, if any, reac¬ tion to the shots, according to the doctor. From those receiving the shots he administered, only cne case was reported where the patient actually suffered flu symptoms.
