Earl VanBuskirk, employed at the Elledge Motor Co., garage, broke his right arm cranking a Ford in the shop just at quitting time, Tuesday evening.  The large bone was fractured an inch or two from the wrist, and he is having rather a painful time of it.

Earl is a hard worker and does not appreciate his enforced vacation form his labors.  He served overseas in the World War and tried to head off a niece of a Hun shell in his first engagement, and came home a war casualty.  Looks like he was still getting the worst of it.
