YOUTH KILLED
WANGANUI. A Masterton youth, Edward John Guntley, was killed at Maxwell, eight miles from here late last night. With two companions, Guntley was on a motor-cycle tour from his home town to New Plymouth. The trio reached Maxwell about 11.35 p.m. and John Moore, an employee of Dominion Motors Limited, Stratford, collided with Mr Guntley. He was thrown from his cycle and instantly killed.
Mr Guntley was 19 years of age and it is believed that his mother is a widow. She lives in Masterton.
Dr Maurice Earle and an ambulance went from Wanganui to Maxwell and brought the body of deceased to the morgue at Wanganui hospital.
