PARALYSIS STRIKES BUS DRIVER WHILE ON JOB

Roanoke, Ala., March 29

Zachary Farrar, for several years a bus driver for East Alabama Coach Lines, 
just before noon Sunday, stopped his bus near Crew's store in north Randolph 
county, to pick up a passenger. Seeming to realize that something was wrong 
with him, he got out of the bus, walked around a bit, then got back in at 
the wheel. He did the same thing again. Then he motioned to Yancy Chewning, 
a passenger and Mr. Chewning discovered that the driver was stricken with 
paralysis and could neither speak or use his right hand. Another passenger 
drove the bus while Mr. Chewning looked after the driver. Mr. Farrar was 
brought to his home here and is thought to be improving, though he is not 
able to speak.
