Mrs. L. A. DALBEY was injured Wednesday morning of last week in an automobile accident which happened about 10 miles east of Centerville on Highway 2. Mrs. DALBEY was en route to Columbia, MO for a visit with her daughter, Marcia, a student at Stephens College, when her car skidded on a snow and ice-covered curve, left the highway and landed on its side in a ditch. The accident was witnessed by a hospital supply salesman, who stopped to investigate and who took her to Saint Joseph's Hospital in Centerville. Mrs. DALBEY suffered a long gash above her right eye, severe facial and eye bruises, injuries to her left ankle and body contusions and she was unconscious until the following day.

She remained in the hospital until Saturday afternoon, when she was returned by her daughter, Marcia, to her home in Mount Ayr where she is slowly convalescing. The DALBEY car, 1 1954 Chevrolet, was extensively damaged.

Basketball fans are still wondering just what happened as the 140 point lead held by the Diagonal Maroons melted away to give Shelby a last minute 52-50 win in the district tournament finals Friday night at Red Oak. It was the second straight year that Diagonal suffered a heartbreaking defeat, having lost to Tracy last year in the sub-state meet in much the same manner as they lost to Shelby.

Congratulations are extended to Beth WALTERS of Beaconsfield who was selected on the Iowa Daily Press Association's all-state girls' basketball team. Miss WALTERS was also named as one of the forwards on the Des Moines Register's third all-state team. She has accumulated 3,558 points in a career total and has another year of competition ahead.

March 13, a daughter, Sheryl Rae, to Mr. and Mrs. Bernard DUFTY, Kellerton
