Truck Mishap
Kills 4,000
Chickens
Four thousand feathered
fatalities made a snow-white
covering on a portion of
interstate 35 following a
two-truck crash Nov. 19 near
Ross.
A flatbed truck loaded with
8.000 chickens headed to Frank
Smith and Sons Co. in Waco
collided with a truck carrying
lumber at approximately 6 a.m.
in the southbound lane of the
highway.
The collision drove both
trucks into the median,
spreading plywood boards and
chickens in it wake. The
collision tied up traffic for about
five hours, a DPS spokesman
said.
The lumber truck driver,
Sherman L, Wilson of Dallas
was trapped in the truck about
two hours as rescue workers
tried to free him from inside the
truck cab. He was later taken to
Hlllcrest Hospital where he was
listed in satisfactory condition.
Owen E. Kesterson, Nash-
ville. Ark., (the driver of the
chicken truck) was treated for
leg injuries and released.
Frank Smith and Son workers
collected the dazed chickens,
while the dead ones were piled
in the median. A Lane Poultry
spokesman said the dead
chickens, valued at approxi-
mately $ 10,000 would be
buried.
A Thanksgiving Message
Today, the traditional day of counting blessings iaken for granted
throughout the year, we give our thanks for the blessings we enjoy as
citizens of a free democracy.
We are grateful for the freedoms which we often take for granted. ..
the right to choose our religious faith .. .to elect those who govern and the
obligations of the governed to guide ... to criticize and even condemn
those who misuse their official responsibilities.
As a nation and a people, we’re grateful for the beautifully rich soil we
are blessed with and the means to produce food to feed not only ourselves
and our allies, but also the hungry throughout the world.
We send our wishes, hopes and prayers that next year, on this day and
everyday, we can be thankful for the blessings showered on those less
fortunate ... the presence of the dignity of man among the poor. . .
the return of love, decency and morality into the hearts of the powerful. . .
the enlightening of the minds of those who oppress . . . and the returning
of peace to this currently troubled world.
On this day of family unity, as we relax from the food and drink which
has filled our bodies, we offer a prayer to the god of every faith for
unity, love and blessings in the world, such as those felt
within our homes this day.
