Little Irwin Heft is at the hospital in
Hood River, where his mother and
father visit him. His broken arm is
proving very badly fractured The
lesser fragment of the broken bone is
so small that the contraction of the
muscles tend to pull it out of position
and it will probably be necessary to
wire the fragments together.
