It's all a matter of keeping your eyes on the road, this business of being a safe driver. MAURI CE WILSON, Trailer Division, timekeeper , has learned that lesson th e hard way. Out for a peaceful Sunday afternoon ride, Maurice and his wife were enjoying the scenery. That is, they were enjoy ing th e ride until Maurice took time out to look at some picture post cards that his wife had. There's nothing like riding in a ditch at 45 mile an hour (and Maurice can tell yo u about that too! ). To make a long story short, just picture Maurice driving in a ditch. He couldn't get out of th e ditch until th e culvert stopped him. We understand that th e only one injured was Maurice, MRS. E. J. CHILDERS . .. a wolf for breakfast who got a lump on his head.
