LAUREL - One of the worst automobile accidents of the season happened on the highway northwest of this city near the Egger Bros. farm corner when Archie Burns, driving a big Buick, went into the ditch, completely wrecking the car and injuring himself severely. The accident happened just shortly after six o’clock while the young man was on his way to his home northeast of Laurel.
From eyewitnesses to the accident we learn that he was traveling at a high rate of speed at the time and had swung out to pass the Ford coupe driven by Harrison Coburn. He seemingly lost control of the car and it went into the ditch, turning over three different times before coming to a stop.
When Mr. and Mrs. Coburn reached the scene of the wreck they found Mr. Burns lying directly behind his car with his feet just underneath the rear end of the Buick. They at once carried him clear of the wreck and started to work upon him to bring some life into his body. In a few moments he came to and asked about the car. He was taken home at once and the doctor called. Upon examination it was found his injuries consisted of three broken ribs, a broken collar bone and one of the broken ribs had punctured one of his lungs. We are pleased to learn at the time of going to press that he is resting nicely and is getting along as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

LAUREL - Annual Meeting will be Held at High School Auditorium Good Program The annual meeting of the Cedar county P. T. A. will be held in this city, June 2, at the high school auditorium. A splendid program has been arranged for the occasion and there will be a large attendance from all over the county. There is, perhaps, no organization in the county that means so much to the young people of the community.
The cooperation between the parents and the teachers of the county has meant much benefit in the past and as the organization increases and the work expands it will mean more in the future. Laurel has about the best local organization in the county both from a membership standpoint and also interest in the work. It is but fitting that this city should entertain the annual meeting.
The program committee has been hard at work getting together a worth while program. And they have succeeded.

LAUREL - There are a lot of unsuspecting fish out at Lo-Val lake who are going to adorn someone’s frying pan on the evening of Saturday, June 12.
In other words, the lid will be off on that day to all stockholders who like to get a line wet. Ten pounds per member is the limit and they must be caught on barbless hooks. That’s the general arrangement of the angling committee and it is meeting with a lot of approval from the dyed-in-the-wool fishermen of the club. There will be no bass caught this year.
So you anglers who are fortunate enough to hold membership in the club better get out the old tackle box, see that the rod and reel are properly greased and oiled and get ready for the big day.
The fish will be unsuspecting and will bite at most anything that comes their way so that most everyone can get the limit in a short time. This will be the first fishing allowed in the lake since the stocking of it with fish and there will no doubt be a crowd of spectators to see the fun. Lo-Val lake is going to be a mighty popular place June 12.
