Sylva Man
Dies From
Accident
Injuries
The first death from traffic acci
dents in three years came for Way
nesville Saturday, when 34-year-
old Albert Worley, a Sylva Negro,
died In a Sylva hospital.
Worley suffered a broken neck,
and back injuries when the car in
which he was riidng on Sunday,
Sept. 30, rolled backwards off of
Daisey Avenue. Worley was
thrown backwards from the front
seat into the back seat, landing on
his neck, according to Chief of
Police Orville Noland.
Browder Gibson, also of Sylva,
was said by police to have been
the driver of the car. Gibson is
out of jail on a bond of $1500.
Policeman Guy Messer, investi
gating officer, said that the brakes
on the car failed at the time, and
it rolled backwards off the street
down a 10-foot embankment.
About six weeks ago, the State
Safety Council awarded Waynes
ville a plaque for the safety rec
ord of no fatal accidents for 1950.
The last fatal accident, according
to Chief Noland, was on September
6, 1949.

In connection with National Fire
Prevention Week, which this is,
Firechief Clem Fitzgerald issued
today a statement regarding fire
losses In Waynesville.
So far this year, said the Chief,
the department has answered 52
calls, seven of which were false
alarms. By prompt action 43 of the
"real things" were allowed to do
no more than estimated total of
$300.01U Tiuu imwamvw
involving the house of James Meg
ger and the other the garage apart
ment of Charlie Woodard, did a
total of $6,500.00.' In both cases,
explained Chief Fitzgerald, no one
was at home and the fires were
well advanced before an alarm was
given. '
Damage in the county, excluding
all except those to which the local
department was called, amounted
to a total of $18,400.00 Again two
fires have caused the bulk of the
damage, and again they were well
along before an alarm was turned
in. The sawmill of Glen Palmer
was damaged to the extent, esti
mated, of $12,000.00, but same $30,.
000.00 worth of lumber was saved.
The store of Rex Messer also suf
fered heavily In a blaze to the ex
