S'sideO-FEES Club Away To Good Start

Two planes were kept busy most of yesterday by the recently or- ganized Summcrside Flying Club as it got away to it good start. Al- tlicugli it rained most of the day visibility was good and eighteen flights were made by members who took advantage of the holiday. Monctoii Flying Club had planned to s:'.'.d a number of planes to partizj i in the first day's pro- gramme but the weather over New

Brunswick p....cnted them from coming. The junvncrside Flying Club is

the only fl;-ing tiub in the Pro- vince ilnfl numbers among its members men from 0'Lcary, Ken- Slni'itlil, ..mcrsidc anri Char- lottetown. It is the aim of the club to provide facilities so that practically anyone who wants to fly may do so at a cost much low- err than is generally realized. Judging from the success of the first days operation, the club is well on its way to achieving its aim.

Mr. A. 0. Rogers. Summerside is the president of the club.-S

A coroner's Jury sitting at gum. lnerside on Wednesday evening iound that the death of nix-year-old. Ralph Richard Wiuiams was caused by being run over by a truck and that it wasbccidental. The boy who was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Williams. Granville Street. was instantly killed on Tuesday morning about. 8.40 on Green Street when struck by a. truck driven by Mr. John Small. The jury also found that no blame is attached to the driver.

Coroner Dr. Austin Delaney pre- sided and Mr. J. Harold Goodwin represented the crown. The first witness was Sgt. Ben Schurman of the Town Police Force who ident- i g l the body. George Sudebury, a la..'ourer for the town, told the Jury that he was working that morning on the High School play- ground and noticed a half ton truck on Green Street just about the in- tersection wli.h Spring street. It was travelling between 15 and 20 miles an hour. ,.

At about the same time the wit- nesses said he saw a little follow on the south side of the street and then the truck shut him off from view. Next time he saw him was as the truck passed over him. He said the truck stopped immediate- ly and the driver got out. and start- ed for Dr. Delaney's house. Wit.- ness said that he ran over but the boy was dead when he got. there. There was no other traffic on the street at the time.

Layton schurman. student at the High School. said that about the time of the accident he was com- ing up Green street and was run- ning to catch up with some boys. He heard a. thump. then saw the child under the truck. seemed to be under the rear wheel. Witness said he heard the driver yell "Get a doctor."

Driver's Evidence

John small. 18. parts-room eni- ployee of Carney Bros. the driver of the truck. said he never saw the child at all. Was going down Green Street and saw children going to school and slowed down. After he passed spring street corner he saw no children and then heard a thump. There was no cry. Witness said he applied the brakes. got out. and ran to the little fellow and then went. to Dr. DelaneY'5- WW" n::-:s said he has chauffeur's lic- ence

Donald (Dee) LeFurgey said he was walking on Green Street. and met the truck Just before the ac- cident. When he was a short dis- tance past it he heard a thump and looked nround and saw a. boy go- ing under the front wheel on -the driver's side. Said he noticed brakes being applied.

Albert Leard. garage mechanic. told of testing the brakes on the truck and they were "perfect."

Chief of Police Peter White told of being called to the scene of the accident and finding the body of 8 child on the street. He took meas- urements and the body was 23 feet from the rear of the truck. Thirty feet from where the truck stopped there was clay. evidence of brakes being applied. Chief White said he had often noticed that children go- ing to school are prone to walk on the street rather than on the side- walk.

Richard Noonan and Garth Jen- kins gave evidence that they were walking to school and had just met the truck before the accid- ant. They did not see it happen but heard a thud and saw the child behind the truck.

Coroner Dr. Austin Delaney read the report of the post. mortem ex- amination which stated the death was caused by haemorrhage. There were multiple fractures of the skull. of the law and the fish” arm: also contusion of the brain. He gave it as his opinion that a wheel of the truck must have PM!- ed over the child.
