Salisbury, June 22—Roy Morgan, 14-year-old son of S.A. Morgan of Gold Hill, Route 3, ran away from home Saturday afternoon, his father claims, and took a one-ton Ford truck with him at the time of his departure.
The youth had been wanting to go to Alabama for some time to visit his uncle, his father says, and he things that the lad has gone there. Effort to locate some trace of him failed, officers in nearby cities reporting that they had seen nothing of the lad or the truck.
At the time he left, the lad was wearing a brown coat, gray cap and had only a small amount of money, his father says. The boy is described as being of about 140 pounds in weight, five feet, seven inches tall, and has blue eyes. The truck is described as one with a steel cab, wood platform on rear with no standards. State license 3323 and motor number 9,277,636. The father is anxious to locate the lad and will appreciate any information concerning him.
