The Ellaville Sun Friday, July 29, 1938 Vol. 2 Nbr. 5 SCHLEY SLANTS by Raymond Duncan A CLUTCH THAT DIDN'T HOLD Dixon Hogg was trying to crank his automobile Wednesday afternoon by allowing it to "catch up" while running down hill near Stevens Pond. He told his little brother, Jimmie, to apply the brake while he removed the rock which kept it from rolling down hill. Dixon removed the rock. But Jimmie jammed the clutch rather than the brake. So the car wheeled into the pond. There was no loss other than the garage towing charges and a new battery. BIRTHDAY WISHES Birthday anniversaries today include: Mrs. Joe ("I Jolly") Hearn and W.S.
