MAXINE MICHALOVE DIED
SOON AFTER ACCIDENT
A little six-year-old girl camp
er, leaned from the window of a
moving school bus yesterday morn
ing to tell two departing fellow
campers goodbye, and had her
head crushed between the bus win
dow and a telephone pole. Sho

after the accident, without regain
ing consciousness.
The victim, Maxine Miehnlove, a
camper of St. Genevieve of the
Pines Camp, near Asheville, was a
granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Lou Pollock, of Asheville.
Maxine was one of about 30
from the camp on a bus said o
have been owned by the Catholic
institution, en route to Cherokco
for an all-day outing. The bus
had stopped near the Presbyterian)
church on Main street, according to
officers, to let two campers off to
spend the day with their parents,
who are vacationing here.
Officers said that the bus was
closer to the pole than the driver,
E. P. Plamandon, of Asheville, had
thought. Officers from the police
and sheriff's departments termed
l(ie accident as unavoidable after
their investigation. No charges
were brought against the driver.
After the injured child had been
rushed to the hospital, the other
campers continued on to Cherokee,
They returned through Waynes
ville about four o'clock in the af
ternoon, and were then informed
of Maxine'a passing.
Relatives in Asheville rushed
here with a doctor and a nurse,
arriving just a few minutes be

tic arrangement of flowers for
home decoration," a member of the
committee said. ' . v
The prize list this year js more
extensive than previously and
weather conditions have been so
favorable as to give promise of
one of the best Shows ever he)3
