Manchester, Ia. - Henry Douglas Slauson, 24, of Sand Springs, Ia., in southeast Delaware county, aviation ordnance man second class. USNR, home on furlough, was instantly killed in an automobile accident at 4 a.m. Friday town miles east of Sand Springs.
He was returning from a dance at Worthington with Miss Phyllis DeShaw. At the point where the accident occurred there are two bridges.

Miss DeShaw, who suffered only minor injuries, went to a nearby farm home for help.
Slauson was the son of Mr. and Mrs. R.A. Slauson of Sand Springs.
Sheriff Carl Anderson of Manchester and Arthur G. Platt, Delaware county coroner, investigated the accident and Platt said there will not be an inquest.

?Together Again?

So don?t shed tears
or hang down your head.
Remember the good times
and smile instead.
