Rocky Mount—If a rat wants to ride in a Ford car, it’s well enough to let the rodent have its way. R. Clarence Brake started to Sharpsburg in his Tin Lizzie. Traveling leisurely along, he discovered a rat had crawled from the hiding place to the foot of the car. He attempted to ill the varmint but instead lost control of the steering wheel. The Ford smashed into a conveniently placed stump. Mr. Brake escaped unhurt from the mass of debris, but is still looking for the rat.
