~ PAGE FIGHT THE POST, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1944 Shirley Martin Struck By Car ‘Was Going To Church MW ith Younger Sister os Martin, 13 year old sev- grader at Dallas Township School, was struck by an automo- bile Sunday morning on her way to church and received severe lacera- - tions of the legs, right arm, and brush burns of the body. Shirley crossed the road a short distance from her home to accept a ride offered by Jason Kunkle. An auto- mobile, driven by A. C. Garry of Kingston, passed the Kunkle truck, and Shirley, not noticing the car walked right in front of it. She was hit by the bumper and thrown over the right fender onto the road, luckily not under the ~ wheels. Stunned, she was picked up by her father, and a neighbor, Llewellyn Williams, and rushed to Dr. Malcolm Borthwick. After ex- amination, she was taken to Nesbitt Hospital, and remained there a few days. PHer sister, Nancy, 9 years old, whom Shirley was leading by the hand, was badly frightened, but miraculously escaped injury. Keats Poad Died Saving Others (Continued from Page One) out. They swam for thirty-two hours, one of them giving up in sight of shore. The other told us what it had been like inside there when those bullets came smashing through that packed crowd, and a few seconds later when those dying and wounded were all struggling not to drown as the water came in. “That day the Japs got. . . .the nine Dutch flying boats they caught out in the harbor. About forty to fifty were killed on them, mostly women and children. “I saw.one Dutchman swim a- shore dragging his wife by the hair. The whole lower half of her face had been blown away and she was dead. I saw another woman standing on the wing of one of the planes which was “burning. She had a child in her arms, and was ready to jump and swim ashore, ‘when a cannon shot hit her in the back and broke her in halves. They both fell forward in the water, but the arms on the top half which held the child never let go of it.” Lieut. Poad’s citation for the Dis- tinguished Flying Cross and the accompanying correspondence for- warded to his parents by Col Robert C. Jones of the Air Corps corroborates the circumstances sur- rounding his last flight. Posthumous Citation Lieutenant Keats Poad, 0-421413, (then Second Lieuten- ant), Air Corps, United States Army. For extraordinary achieve- ment while participating in aerial flights from January to March 1942. As Navigator of a B-24 type airy craft, Lieutenant Poad exhibit remarkable technical skill and ver- satility on a special mission from Washington, D. C., to Cairo, Egypt, and thence to Australia via India and Java to engage in the evacua- tion by air of women and children beseiged on the island of Java.! Despite hazardous flying conditions and the lack of radio contact, the evacuation was accomplished by a series of flights in the face of en- emy interference. On the final flight, the aircraft departed with thirty women and children and was attacked by three enemy fighter planes. The bomb bay was hit by machine gun bursts, setting fire to the gas tank, and causing the in-! adequately armed airplane to crash! into the sea. Only one person a- board survived.

Common Law imposes on everyone the responsibility of proper care for the safety of the public. The failure to do what a reasonable person would ordinarily have done under the circumstances is generally known as “Negligence,” which is the basis of any legal liability claim for damages.
