The mighty hurricane, fifth of the 1961 season, still was hun dreds of miles east of Miami but was moving west-northwest. That course would put a long stretch of U.S. coastline in danger in a few days.

Esther was described as a “large and dangerous” hurricane in official weather dispatches.

Mrs. Woodall, elderly wife of a drygoods dealer, was walking a cross the tracks when she was struck and killed by a big Atlan tic Coast Line freight last Thurs day at noon.

Coroner Underwood said that ndinance had been superseded, however, at the time electric ally controlled arms and bell - ringing systems were set up on the town crossings. "Trains haye access to the a m. to 6 p. m.,” he said. ‘‘That ordinance was signed by the Ben eon commissioners. ‘The 30-mile-an-hour limit gb: es back to when a man came out with a lantern and a sign. In his hand” The coroner said his investiga tion showed that MW. Woodall “just stepped in front of the train —all the evidence indicates that the arms were down and the bells ringing.” f town at ,65 miles |--Hot On The Petal i I Have Bikes, Will Travel | X »»»kj iu CUi UYVl-iCU U1IU UUUC>~ exercised age but one prominent Dunn family has a built-in1 method for exercising all the muscles.
