A /SV X ^ Hybrid Wheelchair Enables Amputee to Tour Ewing EWING — A familiar sight on the streets of Ewing each day is Dewitt Gunter and his “rocket” —a hybrid wheelchair with elec trically-powered bicycle mechan ism. Mr. Gunter, who has always led an active life, had the misfor tune to have a leg amputated above the knee in February of this year, after he had suffered for months with leg trouble. All of his trouble started when com plications set in after he had frozen his feet. For a time he was haptpy to get about his home with the aid of a walker. When his health im proved, his desire to get around by himself became more keen. He expressed this desire to his son, Melvin Gunter of Orchard. Together they worked out a plan, using frameworks of two dis carded bicycles and a wheelchair. This machine is electrically propelled and is operated easily in any part of town where there are sidewalks or smooth roads. During the summer, Mr. Gun ter whiled away many hours with his friends on the street from his “rocket” perch. 3 Escape Injury in Highway Mishap Three persons escaped injury about 8:30 p.m., last Thursday at a point nine miles north of O’ Neill. A machine owned by Hugh Carr of O’Neill and driven by his son, Hugh G., 20, headed north ward, struck a pickup truck driv en by Elmer Finningsmier of Hastings. The pickup was south bound, and had crossed in front of the Carr machine, according to the Holt county sheriff’s of fice, which conducted an investi gation. The Carr machine was nearly demolished. Young Carr, who received a black eye, was accom panied by his brother, James, 13. WEATHER SUMMARY: Hi Lo Prec.
