During the rain and snow flurry Saturday evening, when visibility was vcor for auto drivers, four cars were more or less damaged in a mixup on the Provincial Highway near Salem The electric wiring in an Ottawa car went bad, causing the lights to go out and the car to stall on the pavement. Mr. Harry Bellamy driving his car was unable to see the stalled car until quite close and while he immediately tried to pull to one side, struck the other car and went into the ditch, his car turning on its side. Prettv soon a large Studebaker came along and boosted the stalled car along about thirty feet. Then while Poole & Onyon's service crane was getting Mr. Bellamy's car out of the ditch, Mr. Pinkie came along and lost a fender when he struck the service car. Fortunately no person was hurt in tho mixup.
