Dominick Selcskie had the third
finger of his left hand severely
crushed last week. Although he has
been under the constant care Of DR.,
Resner, and much of the inflammation
has gone, there is still danger that
amputation of the first joint will be
necessary.

broken arm at school while jumping,
is improving nicely.
