Careless Driver Almost Hits Band The old adage that, when a man gets behind the wheel of an automobile he loses a part of his common sense was demonstrated on several occasions Wednesday evening, but no Instance was more outstanding than one at the corner of Third street and First avenue when a car loaded with people started to turn abruptly off from the avenue onto the street in the face of the oncoming parade.

This is one of the many reasons why Principal Eades has declined to allow the band to appear on the streets without a police escort.
