Wind Blew Car Back
WELLINGTON, Last Night (PA). —A motorist driving on the back road near Linden tonight says his car was blown backwards by a high southerly gale which swept Wellington today. He said he was going up a slight grade at between eight and 10 miles an hour. Then a gust came over the hill and blew his 10 h.p car back. "I ripped it into low gear, and that saved me,” the driver said.
