Six of the seven persons injured are patients at the Warner hospital. The most seriously injured is Miriam Klinefelter, three- year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Victor Klinefelter, New Oxford R. 2, who suffered a fractured skull and severe lacerations of the head. Her condition today is reported improved. The other five injured in the hospital are: Mrs. Mabel Klinefelter, 35, whose face was severely lacerated by flying glass.

Ira S. Klinefelter, 5, the least severely injured. He suffered minor cuts on the head and face. Paul Staub, 19, New Oxford, lacerations of the head and face. Miss Margaret Brady, 35, Edge Grove, near McSherrystown, cuts on the face and hands.

Miss Dolores Small, 14, also of Edge Grove, cuts on the hands and knees. The drivers of the machines were Victor Klinefelter, 37, New Oxford R. 2, and Paul Staub, Orange street, New Oxford. Klinefelter suffered cuts on the head and hands and received treatment at the hospital, after which he was discharged as a patient. Klinefelter, accompanied by his wife and two children, was traveling west on the Lincoln highway, while Staub was traveling east.

3 Cars In Crash According to Khnefelter's version of the accident, as reported to state motor patrolmen, he was about to make a left turn into the Kohler Mill road, when a car struck his coupe from the rear and forced him. nto the path of Staub's roadster. According to Corporal B. Stroh, of the Gettysburg who with three other patrolmen investigated the crash, Klinefelter had started to make the left turn into the Kohler Mill road aAd misjudged the speed of Staub's roadster. The machines came together leadon.

The fact that no one was killed instantly seems miraculous to the patrolmen after inspecting the wreckage of the two cars. Robert R. Weaver, New Oxford, R. who was following Klinefelter's car and was an eye witness to the accident, denied that his car struck the Klinefelter machine from the rear, forcing the latter into the path of Staub's machine. Cars Are Wrecked Klinefelter's coupe was shoved mck 45 feet from the point of im- act and Staub's roadster stopped a 'ew feet from the other machine.

Neither car upset, but both were completely wrecked. The Gettysburg ambulance was summoned and took Mrs. Klinefelter to the Warner hospital where Dhysicians worked for two hours sewing up her face and head. William Myers, of York, and other passing motorists took the other six injured to the hospital. Both machines had to be towed away from the scene of the accident.

The engines of both cars were driven back against the front seats and parts of the machines were scattered about the highway. Besides Corporal Stroh, other pa- xolmen who assisted with the investigation of the accident were Pa- H. S. Roberts and P. L.

Mayer's, of the Gettysburg sub-station, and Patrolmen Earl Harbold and Robert Law, or the York substation.

PINCHOT SIGNS RELIEF MEASURE Governor Pinchot on Friday completed the state's unemployment relief program by signing the Scott (Centre) bill appropriating $20,000,000 of the proposed $25,000,000 bond issue for aiding those out of work. He has already approved bills making direct grants of $25,000,000 for the jobless and Friday's measure boosts the total to $45,000,000. The state emergency relief board hopes the federal government will match this amount thus providing for jobless relief in the state in the period which began April l. The money will be spent as needed and there is no time limit on it. The remainder of the bond Issue will go to hospitals and schools.

The voters in November will determine whether the bond issue shall be floated by the state.

SERVICE COURTEOUS EMIG Funeral Directing Embalming FUNERAL COACH HARRY EMIG Both Phones EAST BERLIN, PA. Woman Is Shocked By Lightning Bolt A lightning bolt which descended from cloud-banked skies during a storm about 7 o'clock Saturday evening shocked Mrs.

William Deardorff, of Hanover, into unconsciousness and struck a tree near the York street to the Hanover fair grounds, resulting in temporary disruption of electric and telephone service in that section. The bolt, which many residents described as having looked like a huge ball" of fire, started a slight blaze after striking the tree, which was quickly extinguished. Mrs. Deardorff, who was standing on the rear porch of her home at the time, arranging flowers in a metal container, was stunned by the ightning-. and fell to the floor.

Other members of her family carried her into the house, where she remained unconscious for nearly, half an hour while efforts were made to revive her. Mrs. Deardorff experienced stiffness about her back, egs and neck, she said. Mrs. Deardorff said the flash of ightning seemed to have been centered at a clump of peonies along a wire fence about fifteen 'eet from where she was standing.

Neighbors said the lightning caused parks to fly from many points in the immediate vicinity. A puff of smoke arose from the fence in the Deardorff yard as the lightning struck. The blaze which resulted at the fair grounds was extinguished by Ellas Mummert. Members of the Moimpiert family, while suffering no physical injury, were badly frightened when the lightning followed wires into the attic of the house; shattering a fuse box and putting the lights out of commission. Miss Gertrude Bender, of Altoona, who is employed at the home of and Mrs.

August DeClercq, of Hanover, caring for Mrs. DeClercq, who is was stunned by lightning during the storm. Miss Bender was seated on a swing on the front porch of the home, reading, her right hand resting on one of the chains holding the swing, when the bolt struck. She was stunned and rendered speechless for several minutes but was not unconscious. The hand which had been in contact with the chain became swollen later in the evening- and Monday some of the skin peeled off.
