Boys Interested In Sr. Scouting To Meet All between the of IS 18 years who are Interested in senior scouting been invited to meet in the Naw Oxford Hlfh school this Wednesday evening Apr. JO at 8 o'clock with the unit committee which met previously and made tentative pteiu for the organization. The program is not only for Boy Scouts who have reached the age of 15 but is also for any non-scouts who wish to join. Senior scouting is a new development within the last few years and is designed to continue the older boys' interest in scouting.

This will be the first senior scout outfit in Adams county. If this senior unit interests sufficient boys to warrant its continuation, it will complete particiiwtion of this community in the entire national scouting program. New Oxford already sponsors i Brownie troop, a Cub pack, a Girl Scout troop, and two Boy Scout troops. Senior scouting includes a four- point program of outdoor life, technical instruction, service projects, and social meetings. Senior scouts will spend much of their time in camping and other outdoor activities, will set up in their meeting place projects such as boat building, engine construction and the like, will plan projects in which they can be of service to the community, and will hold social activities such as dances.

Mrs. Pauline Myers, her sister, Mary. 14, and brother. Richard. 3.

Miss Myers was thrown from the jeep and killed. The others suffered various Injuries. Mary Myers testified that she remembered nothing of the accident, and was unconscious until two days afterward, but Mrs. Myers, mother of the dead girl, said that both she and Gloria saw Ingram's car approaching at what she said "must have been 60 miles an hour," and that Gloria cried out: "Look at that car coming, we're going to hit." Gloria, it developed from the testimony of Mrs. Myers, had held an operator's license for one month and two days prior to the accident.

Other prosecution witnesses included State Policeman Frank Yer- cavage, who presented pictures of the scene of the accident and of the wrecked cars, and testified as to their position when he reached the! scene. I Yercavage said he took a statement from Ingram in the Hanover hospital, in which he said Ingram told him he left Catonsville about 11 a. on the morning of the accident, and just before the accident "all at once saw a car in front of him, but didn't know where it came from." Mrs. Myers testified that the jeep was on the right side of the highway. Another prosecution witness was W.

s. Uppy, Littlestown, who said he was the first one to reach the scene after the crash. He scribed the position of the can and the injured. Defendant Testifies The defense swore LeRoy H. Wine- NEW OXftfcft ITfett, MKW ttAY 1, Gettysburg, vfco presented a diagram at the highway, and Ira L.

He maid he was driving approximately 30 miles an hour.

During the cross-examination by District Attorney J. Francii Yake.j Ingram denied that his car had been pulled out of a ditch about a i mile south of the Mason-Dixon line, that he drove back to the Eagles clubhouse In Littlestown, that he of-1 fered a drink to the two men who' pulled him out of the ditch, or that! one of them told him "you had bet-' ter stay here awhile and rest up." i He admitted ownership of a bot-' tie of wine found in the glove com-1 partment of his car. i G. Sherman Hildebridle. who gave his address as near Littlestown, said Ingram had "flagged" him south of Littlestown and asked htm to get his car out of the ditch.

He identified the defendant, and said that he and Clarence Warner. Littlestown, had hitched a rope to Ingram's cur and pulled it back on the highway. Ingram followed them into Littlestown and at the square turned left and followed them through an alley to the rear of the Eagles home, he said. Ingram haa testified that when he reached Littlestown he turned right and drove toward Hanover. "Ingram offered me a drink back of the Eagles," Hildebridle saw him have a bottle.

I refused the drink." Other defense witnesses were character witnesses. They included Mrs Gertrude Parker, Mrs. Martha Lerew and Mrs. Ruth Bennett, all of Catonsville. They testified that Ingram had been known as a "careful driver and law-abiding citizen." HEIDLERSBURG The Sunday school rally, held on Sunday In the United Brethren church was largely attended.
