James MCGEE, a patient lying on a
cot in DR.. Kelchner's Emergency hos
pital, today considers himself a very
fortunate person. About three weeks
ago, while working as a lineman for
the West Jersey Electric Company, he
fell thirty-five feet to the ground. He
landed on his feet unconscious. He
was picked up by fellow workmen
and hurried to the hospital. The doc
tors stated that both of his legs were
broken and that he would lose one if
not both. For two days and as many
nights MCGEE was delirious from the
pain he suffered. The doctors worked
like a n armed paperhanger with
the hives to save his legs but il, was
not until Tuesday night Of this week
that they informed MCGEE that al
though it would be some time before
he would be able to walk, they would
not have to amputate. MCGEE is
grateful to the doctors for their efforts
In his behalf but he is by no means
s'out of the fire. as yet. He is forced
to lay on his back with each leg in q
separate box tied and strapped to the
bed. In about a month or SO he will
be able to get about on clutches.
MCGEE, who is a Philadelphian, is
good natured despite his pain and is
very fond of visitors. A gentle re-
minder to the boys Of the plant not to
forget the unfortunate fellow forced to
remain in bed while others enjoy the
many pleasures that only Wildwood
can furnish.
