Show Girl Rescues Two-Year-Old From Death in Tar Pool LOS ANGELES. Ruth Vivian Oriani, 17, saved the life of a two year old boy buried to his eyes in the clinging ooze of an old tar pool. Ruth, looking for little Larry Stansbury at his mother's request, found him in the muck. She threw down two planks, crawled out 10 feet and pulled his head above the tar. With her fingers she carefully dug tar out of his mouth and nostrils. nos-trils. She pulled and tugged, got him onto the planks, finally back to solid ground. Quickly she applied artificial arti-ficial respiration. About that time the firemen arrived ar-rived with a respirator. They hustled rescued and rescuer to the hospital. The little boy apparently is recovering. Ruth let them remove the tar from her hands and arms. Then she just went home. |
