Donahl Conway Seriously Hurt

Injured Sunday
¦l^ui'c than a dozen accidents re- aHed Sunday afternoon in this ^i^nity, when the highways were slippery because of the rain and sleet which made an icy coating on the roads as it fell. Busses and cars were stalled on numerous hills in the vicinity," including the Bethlehem pike hill, Ambler High¬ lands, and the Bethlehem pike hill. Chestnut HilL Late in the after¬ noon as the weather began to clear up slightly, the traffic hazzard was not quite as serious.
Most of the automobile accidents were not serious, with the excep¬ tion of one in Fort Washington, on Susquehanna road, in Upper Dub¬ lin township, and one at the in¬ tersection of Bethlehem pike and Stenton avenue, Springfleld, all of which caused personal injuries and resulted in damage to the cars.
A Fort Washington boy was ser- iousl.v in.iured in a freak accident on Sunday afternoon on Bethle¬ hem pike, near the "Old Mill", Fort Washington.
The youth, Donald Conway, 13, son of Mrs. Robert Conway, of Fort Washington avenue and Wal¬ nut Lane, Fort Washington, was standing on the cement bridge over the Sandy Run Creek with a friend when one ol two automo¬ biles which figured in a collision skidded on the icy highway and caught the boy's leg between the bridge and the automobile. . Conway was carried by his com¬ panion to the porch of the Fort Washington Historical Society building, across the street, and was then rushed to the Chestnut Hill Hcspital where x-ray treatments ^vel•e given to determine the extent of the injuries.
The driver of the car which struck the boy was Charles B, Atherton, Bayton street, Roxbor¬ ough. The car operated by Harry C. Rankin, 123 Merchant street. New Jersey, skidded into the side of the Atherton car, forcing it over  onto the Conway boy.
At the time when this paper went to press, the extent of Con¬ way's injuries were not yet known, because his leg was too badly swollen and was , too badly smashed to make an accurate di¬ agnosis. Conway was just recently released from the hospital, where (Continued on page 3)

TWO SERIOUS FIRES
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
The Hinkle homestead on Pen¬ llyn pike, Springhouse, was dam¬ aged by flames early Christmas morning, when fire broke out on the third floor at about 2 a, m. Both the Wissahickon Fire Com¬ pany, Ambler, and the North Wales Fire Company responded to the call. Although the flames were extinguished before they spread from the third floor, serious dam¬ age was caused by water which ran throughout the house. The property is occupied by John Hinkle.
At about 1.30 a. m. Sunday, firemen were called when flames broke out in the vacant barn on the George Klauder property on Morris and Mathers roads. By the time a call was put in to the Ambler firemen, and they were able to get there, the barn was practically destroyed.

—Gazette Ads Bring RESULTS!
A protested parole was granted to James Saunders, twenty-one, Ambler Negro, in the Montgomery Count.v Court at Norristown, on Monday morning.
The parole releases Saunders from extra time imposed on him for an attempted jail break from the county prison farm, last sum¬ mer. J. Stroud Weber, assistant district attorney, vigorously pro¬ tested Saunders' appeal for parole at the recent hearing, charging that Saunders had received "a light sentence, prescribed where he should serve his time, and then tried to break out."
The court, which has been con¬ sidering the case for the past month, indicated that it is "satis- fled with the propriety of granting tlie parole". Judges Harold G. Knight and William F. Danne¬ hower signed the decree. The ac¬ tion liad received'the approval of Fred R. Fluck, warden of the county jail, at the time of the hearing.
Saunders was arrested wilh three other men, and charged with holding up and robbing a man on the street. He was sent to Hunting¬ don Reformatory, but on his re¬ quest, he was removed from tlie reformatory and resentenced to nine to eighteen months in the county jail. Frcm there he was transferred to the prison farm, and with his minimum term nearly completed, he broke out during the night.
He and another man walked to a nearby town, took a car from a garage and tried to start it, but failing to do so, returned to the farm barracks. He pleaded guilty to jail breach, and was given three more months to serve.
At the expiration of his term, however, he asked parole from the added time, and this is now granted.

500 Million Dollar Building Program for State Highways
-Buy U. S. War Bonds!
A live yoar 500 million dollar road construction program is being planned by the State Highway De¬ partment to adapt Penns.ylvania's motor traflic arteries to post-war needs, John U. Sh royer. Secretary of Highways, said today.
"A detailed inspection of our State Highway System by District Engineers of the Department of Highways," Shroyer said, "has dis¬ closed an expenditure of 500 mil¬ lions of dollars will be necessary within the next five years to pro¬ vide the proper facilities for our post-war traffic requirements.
"This responsibility is being pro¬ grammed at approximately 100 millions per  year.
"Compared with past perform¬ ance, this is five times our present accomplishments, double our 1941 accomplishments, and approxim¬ ately 60 percent greater than our 1930 record. And 1930 is known as the largest construction year in the history of the Department.
'To prepare the necessary sur¬
veys and plans lor such a program would bo a large assignment under normal conditions, but under pres¬ ent shortages of manpower it is a most diflficult task, but will be ac¬ complished."
Breaking down tho 100 million dollar annual program for State Highways, Shroyer said approxim¬ ately $10,000,000 would be requir¬ ed for right-of-way costs, another $10,000,000 for the construction and repair ot i-oads by the De¬ partment's maintenance forces and the remaining $80,000,000 for high¬ way construction under contract.
"The State Highway System is meeting, in a satisfactory manner, the traffic requirements of a war economy,"  Shroyer said
"However, many of our I'oads are obsolete and approaching the limits of their economic life, and postponement of the necessary re¬ construction during the waf period is adding rapidly to the backlog of vitally needed reconstruction and modernization of the System,"
The lecturer will be E. Ray¬ mond Wilson, secretary of the Friends' Committee on National Legislation. He was a delegate to the International Round Table of Christian Leaders at Princeton, N. J., in July, 1943, and a delegate to the National City Conference on the Churches and a Just, Dur¬ able Peace, Delaware and Ohio, 1942.
Mr. Wilson became executive secretary, for a two-year period, of the Friends' Committee on Na¬ tional Legislation which super¬ sedes the Friends' War Problems Committee, organized in 1940, when the oresent Selective Train¬ ing and Service Act was being formulated.
The Friends' Committee for Na¬ tional Legislation was established in lfl43 to represent Friends in the United States on questions of leg¬ islation and other acts of govern¬ ment which affect or involve Quaker principles and concerns such as conscription, rights of con¬ science, religious and civil liber¬ ties, p<^st-war relief and recon¬ struction, international economic issues and  racial discrimination.

LOCKER FOOD STORAGE
PROVES SUCCESSFUL
"One of my frienris told me that ho hadn't enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner as much as this year for a long time," said Herbert G, God¬ shall, president of Lansdale Ice and Storage company. "I'll tell it to you as he told it to me.
"When we sat down to the table I could look over that dinner and see that a great part of it was directly the product ol my own sweat and toil. We had candied sweets, corn, beets, carrots—all grown in my own victory garden. Later came the pumpkin pie, the pumpkin also coming from that same victory garden. The best of it is that I know that in my lock¬ er are a lot of other ix-betables and fruits which we will enjoy not only on holidays, but almost every day this winter. It's a line feeling. You know I had not made a garden for many years, but I'm planning a bigger and better one for next year, and the vegetables will be quick-frozen and placed in locker storage, too,"
"I mention this man, but really, he's only one of many right in )ur own community. It is not cnly the value of the vegetables grown—it is the feeling that they are ycur own work, plus the satisfaction of knowing that you'll have quality vegetables and fruits any time you want them, Of course you can store meat and chickens in your locker, too. It is not too early to plan your victory garden for next year. Many are doing so. Maybe we can help you with your plans—.suggest what is best to grow for storage, varieties to be raised, and how to prepare them for storage. Come in any time and talk it over. It doesn't cost any¬ thing, and you may find it valu¬ able. Others have."
