From San Marcos Record: Topsy- Turvy Playland – this truck carrying amusement rides from the State Fair to Playland Park in San Antonio overturned three and one-half miles north of San Marcos about 7:45 Tuesday morning. Driver of the truck L.C. Roden told investigating officers that the truck was loaded too heavily on one side and when a gust of wind caught the vehicle, he could not get it back on the highway.
