CROWDS STARTLED
—*. " HELP! " CRY BROADCAST } Visitors to the Empire Exhibition at,Glasgow were startled to hear agon-,, . ised shouts for "Help!" coming from,. ; the loud-speakers throughout the. - grounds. ■ . x.l The cries originated in one of the.-,, bandstands where Albert Lawe, a, rfl . member of the band of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders, had accidentally grasped a live wirei while-,r moving a microphone, into which he r. had been singing. 4 . : ; '''» The audience saw him fall to tne-'<T ground obviously in great pain. Col- ■ leagues rushed to his assistance, and. - ; he was taken by ambulance to the* ji Victoria Infirmary, where he later regained "consciousness. Bandsman Lake's recent visits- to Scotland have proved unfortunate for r*; him, for, while travelling north to ~ visit his fiancee last December, he was involved in the Castlecary train' disaster, receiving serious head injuries.
