BAKER, Doris [SRGP 83089] - Woman Dies in Route 15 Accident - Mrs. Doris Baker Kenyon was instantly killed and a South Carolina truck driver was injured about midnight Friday in an accident on Route 15 about three miles north of Mansfield near Valley View. State Police identified the victim and driver of the car as Mrs. Doris B. Kenyon, 40, wife of Robert E. Kenyon, of Mansfield Star Route. She was pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. Harry Williams, Tioga County coroner, who ruled death due to a crushed chest, a fractured skull and a fractured right leg. Police said Mrs. Kenyon was traveling north at an "excessive" rate of speed and while negotiating a curve, the car ran onto the berm. Apparently, the vehicle swerved back to the roadway but she lost control and the car ran into the southbound land and was struck broadside by a truck-tractor car carrier operated by William Atkinson, Hartsville, SC. The carrier had a cargo of six used cars. After the impact, both vehicles plunged over an embankment on the left side of the roadway, police said. Total damage was estimated at $28,900. Atkinson was listed in fair condition at the Blossburg State Hospital with pains in the the back and shoulder. Funeral was at the Shaw & Robena Funeral Home, Monday at 2 p.m., the Rev.

[Taken from Senior English Class]
Autumn is just one of the four seasons. It is preceded by summer and followed by winter. But there is something special about its carefree manner and lavish use of color.

Come with me to this hill top. Draw the keen frosty air into your lungs and look about. You see the fields spread out below like a giant quilt. To the east, winter wheat shows its tender green through the soil. Lifeless cornstalks in the plot at the right shake stiffly in the brisk wind. And other acres that have yielded their crops - the clover fields now barren after the second cutting; the timothy patches scattered with Queen Anne's lace and goldenrod that sprang up after the hay was cut and mowed away; the weedy, dormant oat field partially plowed, showing the rich brown of the newly turned sod; the field of deep red stubble bearing evidence of buckwheat freshly harvested - all display various autumn apparel.

Leaning fences lined with elderberry, choke cherry, rumpled grass, and dead weeds or green ditches sprinkled with dainty-faced asters border these fields. While in the tangled brush heaps in the corners the sumac flaunts its flaming garb.

The black-barked maples in their delicate shades of gold and crimson and the graceful drooping elms scattering yellow-tinted leaflets through the air form arches over the roadways in indescribable splendor.

Below the road is the creek, blue from the reflected sky, flowing gently in its shallow, meandering bed. Hemming it in are sturdy, purple-stemmed peppermint, fountain-like bunches of snake grass, pithy milk weed with the pods open, freeing the silken white, parachuted fruit, and black willows whose trunks are made scarlet by the American ivy twisting and climbing among the feathery leaves.

All this is domed by a sky so infinite yet so intense that any human comprehension of it is impossible.

Autumn is the sunset of the seasons, the promise of a spring. Summing it up in William Herbert Carruth's verse from "Each in His Own Tongue" -
A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite, tender sky,
The ripe, rich tints of the cornfields,
And the wild geese sailing high, -
And all over the upland and lowland
The charm of the goldenrod,-
Some of us call it Autumn,
And others call it God.
