BOMBS AWAY was the cry Tuesday when Susan McAvoy took off in a car at 2 p. m. There was a boom, a whistle and a cloud of smoke as she stepped on the start- er. Some joker had placed one of those seare-gadgets on the car. She leaped out like a gazelle and rushed in saying the car was exploding. A garage man could find nothing wrong with the engine. After the furor had died down, the joke bomb apparatus was found, but not the culprit. Percy Curry, foreman thought I said Susan had found a | “bum” in the car.
