FIVE CENTS ^ - — CHILD KILLED, 17 HURT IN WRECK OF SCHOOL BUS Earl Calloway, 10, Victim of Ac cident When Brother Loses Control of Wheel DRIVER 16 YEARS OLD One child was killed, 17 Injured in a wreck of a Moore County School bus on the Carthage-High Falls road about sir miles from Carthage early Tuesday morning. Earl Callaway, 10 years old, whose brother, Roy Calla way, 16 was driving the bus, received fatal injuries, eight were treated in the Moore County Hospital, and nine others at the office of Dr. Foster in Carthage. The accident is believed to have been caused by the youthful driver, who substituting for his brother Robert, the regular operator, at tempting to light a cigarette. It is said that the bus was traveling at a good speed at the time and that Callaway lost control, the vehicle running oft the road, crashing into a tree and turning ever. Some 35 children were in the bus, headed for school at Car tilage. At yesterday’s coroner’s inquest the jury decided not to hold Calloway for the accident. Two of the children, Louise Calla way, sister of the dead boy, and Mary Ruth Brown, 14, suffered fractured .skulls, and Mary Louise Inman and Lc? Ross Sullivan broken legs. Others treated at the hospital were Bertha Lee Spears. Annie Ruth Wallace, Juanita Maness and Leonard Fields. Treated by Dr. Foster were Helen Louise Fields, Mabel Beal, Sadie Cal loway, Phyllis Inman, Juanita Spears, Retha Seawell, Allie May Spears, Ruby Flinchum and Aleen Maness. All of the children resided near the scene of the accident, an^’ ranged in age from 10 to 14. Slate InvesfiKation The Calloway youngster is the third child to die in a bus accident in the state during the current school term, the sixth since the State took over school transportation. At Raleigh af ter the accident Claude F. Gaddy, as sistant Secretary of the Slate School Commission, said: "The accid:nt at Carthage will be thoroughly investigated • as to its causes,” stated Gaddy, who has charge of bus transportation. Leroy Callaway, who was driving the wreck ed bus, was not approved by the Car thage school principal and ccynmittee, Gaddy said. He was driving for an older btother. Robert Callaway, 18, who did not go to school that day. Permitting the younger boy to drive was a violation of State regulations, Gaddy asserted. Parents of all t e children killed or injured in school bus accidents during the current term are entitled to compensation not to exceed $600 each for the burial or medical and hospital expenses cf their children. The compensation provision was made by the 1935 General Assembly. Dogs Read Pilot At Least They’ve Been Scarce Since Warning About License Tags Doga apparently read The Pilot.
