Boy Going to Hospital.
Giatina Jumbola the oldest son Of
Frank Jumbola will be taken to the
New Britain hospital today or tomor-
row where he will be examined to see
If an operation will straighten his leg.
This is another chapter in the history
of the Jumbola family for it was last
July that the mother ran away leav-
ing the father to take care of six chill
dren the oldest of which was only
fourteen. 1t was hard struggle for
the father and at last he appealed to
the authorities for help with the re-
suit that the three youngest were taken
to the County Home at Warehouse
Point. Giatina who is about twelve
years of age broke his leg seven years
ago and since it was reset has never
been able to walk upon it. 1t is the
hope Of the doctors that an examin-
alton will show that an operation will
give the boy back the use of his limb
and make it possible for him to walk
again.
