cled the area for about five
minutes with the engine sput
tering. Apparently die pilot

toward the field and seemed
ready to land when the engine
stopped and the plane's lights

R. Crookshank of Miami, Fla.,
began going over (he crash

ficial word of Its cause has
been given.
CAP Capt. Howard Kllpat
rlck, Andrews squadron com
manders, speculated the crash

buretor and wing Icing. The
pilot had applied carburetor
heat.
The engine was sputtering
and quit just before the pre
cipitous crash Into the road,
as the pilot was apparently
approaching for a landing In a
field.
Kllpatrlck also voiced the
theory that the pilot, William
K. Stoll, 40, of Lexington, Ky?
might have become lost, lite

of the ground and circled near
Hayesvllle, a short time be
fore It crashed, according to
other witnesses.
The plane clipped the tops
of trees on a 300 foot ridge

Cessna 172, bad been rented
from Bohlen Flying Service

said the plane was flying to
Miami, Fla., from Dayton,
Ohio.
Lexington officials said
5toll and Mrs. Phyllis Ann
Baker Feld. 23, a passenger
in the plane, who also was
killed, had left Lexington a
bout 4 p.m. Friday without

Highway Patrolmen Don
Moran of Clay County and Don
Revls of Cherokee County
stayed on duty round the clock
to guard the plane and direct
traffic through the bitter cold
weekend as several hundred
motorists drove by the scene
of the accident. The Patrolmen
estimated at least 2000people
came by the scene.
Sunday morning the In

their work as far as the crash
was concerned and the plane
was moved Into a field and out

move unhampered.

Congratulations to the Murphy Retail Merchants'Associa
tion on their 1962 Christinas Parade. W. A. Singleton, and
his Parade Committee, showed good planning and prepara

The Cherokee County Rescue Squad did a fine job of
directing the traffic and the crowd.
A job well done, gentlemenl
Prospects Are Brighter If. . .
Prospects of a much brighter than usual Yule tide season
will mark the Christmas observance in this area should the
suggestions made last week by the Tri-County Ministers'
Association be heeded.
Along with personal devotion to Jesus Christ, the minis
ters recommend certain courses of action that are fitting
for honoring the Savior on His birthday. Since it IS His
birthday, they contend, what Christ wants should be taken
into account in its observance.
Faithful attendance at worship services, leaving alcoholic
liquors out of the Yule tide observance, and befriending and
aiding the poor and lonely are Included in the suggestions.
Much of our observance of Christmas is not in line with
these commended courses.
Frequently drinking and drunkenness Increase; and amid
the pressure of manifold activities, church attendance dur
ing the Advent days leading up to Christmas may actually
decline.
People are more thoughtful at the season of the Savior's
birth, with baskets for the poor and other kindly deeds.
Yet there are those who are sadly neglected: lonely men
or women in upstairs rooms over business buildings, peo
ple in distant mountain coves whose homes sadly lack most
comforts of present-day living. Take timeoutbeforeChrist
mas and remember someone who otherwise will be left out.
Beyond doing something for people or giving to them to
INCLUDE THEM in what we are having or doing is a lesson
many of us are slow to learn.
Here again is the Ministers' suggestion for us to ponder:
"As we come again to the time of the observance of the
nativity of Jesus Christ, the Tri-Coiaity Ministerial As
sociation wishes to offer certain suggestions in regard to
its celebration.
"In observing a persons birthday, we desire to honor
the one whose natal day it is. Rightly to honor the Christ,
we individually should make Him our Savior and the true
Lord of the entire scope of our lives. This we urge each
of you to do.
"We honor the Son of God the more by refraining from
anything that would displease Him. Don't you think your
observance of Christmas will be more pleasing to Christ if
alcoholic beverage* have no part in it?
"We believe likewise, you can appropriately honor the
Child of Bethlehem by faithfully worshipping in His Church
during the Advent and Christmas season.
"We likewise bring Him delight by ministering to the
poor, the suffering, the unbefrlended. How we can bring
joy t> Jesus on His' birthday if we devote ourselves *>
selecting some lonely, neglected person to remember at this
time I
"We are saying nothing new: these things you know already.
But in the words of our Lord: If you know these things, happy
are you if you do them."
