Pither, of the Nes0s, Frank Buzby, son of

down to the mill hole to catch fish. While
enjoying their sport, Walter slipped into
the hole and was in great danger of drown
ing CONSERVATION spread among the
group of fishermen, and they began to de-
wise ways to get their companion, who had
not sunk but was laundering about, using
his arms and legs vigorously, out of the
perilous position. At first they decided
to jump in and fetch" him out, thenIthey
decided to send to a nearby blacksmith
shop for help but before help arrived,
young Pither, slight built little fellow
about twelve years of age, bethought him
of his fishing pole, and reaching it over
the water called to the frightened child to
catch hold of it, and they would pull him
ashore. He did SO, and drawing him to
the bank, the friendly arms of his little
companions were reached dewn and he
was drawn up in nearly exhausted con-
dition. The bravery and forethought of
the two little boys, Clifford Pither and
Frank Buzby, deserves especial mention.
