Made Splint for Leg He dug away dirt with the ax to free the portion of his leg that was injured, chopped limbs off the tree for a splint, and with torn strips from his shirt applied tourniquet to stop the Cow of blood and bind the wound. Once the wound had been "dress ed", he set to work to free himself. With the aid of the ax he was successful after a long time. But now his troubles were only beginning. He was faced with the task of crawling home over three miles of rugged terrain. It was bitter cold. His clothing he had ruined to bind the wound. It was then he enlisted the aid of his dog, Rock. Tearing apart a small' cardboard box, he scribbled a note to his parents that he had been Injured This he tied to Rock's collar and after much persuasion started the dog off for home.

No one seemea to understand his mission. Finally, to let them know, he stood in a doorway permitting no one to pass. Lafferty senior noticed the note, and the search for young Ollie was on. They found him about five hours after the accident, halfway up the trail some 3,000 yards from home. He was taken to a hospital where the attending physician said Ollie's treatment of the fracture was "one of the most perfect Jobs I have seen including those of my first aid teams." As for Rock Ollie was not cer tain as to his ancestry. "He's part collie and part shepherd but mostly he's Just a plain good dog," the boy said. The doctor reported that Ollie's Injuries could have been fatal but for the boy's resourcefullness.

Add the vinegar drop by drop and keep stirring until the glue is soft. Cold vinegar can be used, but it takes several days to soak through and become effective. sn. ff..i. ure you. eg Appliance and Refrigeration Sales and Service Business in southern California.

No matter what you say, the Sacchetti family of Pittsfield believes In Santa Claus. It all started Just before Christmas in 1949. David Sacchetti, 4, told his mother he was going to call up Santa. He went to the telephone and twisted the dial a few times, with no thought of the numbers. Suddenly a man's voice said "Hello." "Is this you, Santa?" David asked. "That's right," said the velce. "What can I de for you?" "I want a fire engine," David said. "I live at 81 First Street" "Your wish Is granted," said the voice. David's mother ,'ust laughed when he told her about the conversation. But on Christmas eve they found a package at the door. It was marked "For David" and inside was a fire engine. Then on Christmas 1958 the t.ie. phone rang and when Mrs. Sac- cneiu answered, a man asked to speak to David. Mrs. Sacchetti thought it was peculiar, but she called her ion to the phone, "This is your old friend, Santa Claus," the caller told DavM t hope the fire engine was all right last year.
