Their car was demolished. Daniel was re ported in satisfactory condition Wednesday. Mrs. Youngblood said she heard the suitcase come off and then her daughter said there was a wreck and she saw the suitcase on the side of the road. Trooper Cook said. Jefferys is charged with driv ing on the wrong side of the road, Cook reported. No charges were made against Mrs. Youngblood. Trooper' Cook commented that it was miraculous that the injuries were not any worse, judging from the condition of the smashed ve hicles. Motorists are required to secure any kind of load. Cook said, but this is primarily for trucks. There is nothing specific for cars. All motorists are supposed to have their vehicles under control and be able to stop in case of emergency. Cook explained. This huge section of bricks of the Forest Theatre building on the southwest corner is stopped by the camera just as it broke loose from the pushing of a big crane and fell with a thundering crash. It was an awesome sight to many spectators, some of whom can be seen at right. The tons of bricks are now being loaded on trucks and from reports, should bring a high price as antique bricks. —(Phoot by Bob Allen) College Students In the annual Christmas edition on Dec. 21, The Wake Weekly will again salute our college students.
