TWO YEAR OLD SWIMMER
Boy Can Swim More Perfectly Th~u
He Can Walk

Los Angeles lays claim to having
the youngest champion aquatic per-
former in the United States, and pos
sibly in the world. This young man
is Richard Headrick,. the two-year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. f. Headrick.
Richard can SWIM much more. cas-.
lily than he can walk; in fact, he was
able to maneuver in the water before
he could sit up. When he WAS six
weeks old his mother discovered this
strange capacity of her boy, which is
the more remarkable because neither
of the parents can swim. At that age
she gave Richard his first bath in a
large tub and, she relates, he worked
himself out of her hands and started
swimming on his back with perfect
stroke. The mother was not certain
whether she was seeing things and
called in neighbors to witness the un-
heart of spectacle.

Women Votes Are Overlooked Ia
Woodstock Election

;, As announced in The Patriot o
last week Mrs Clara Witter was de
, ciared legally elected "a a member Of
the school board Of the town oi
Woodstock by Judge Burpee of tbs
superior court after the ballots had
been recounted. The news Of the de
eision came just as The Patriot was
going to press last Friday afternoon.
The hearing was held ia the super
ior court room at Willimantic and
Charles H. Potter. who was declared
elected following the town election at
Woodstock, failed to appear at the
hearing To show cause Why there
should not be a recount The recount
was accordingly ordered by Judge
Burpee and the ballot boxes, which
had been sealed and locked after the
election, we're opened in court. The
recount was made By John II. Killam,
official counter at the town election,
and Town Clerk Frank E. Barrett
TIE reult was that Mrs. Witter vas
found to have nine votes and Mr. Pot
ter eight votes. Mrs. Writer vas de-
elared elected and entitled to the
place on the school committee instead
Of the respondent, Mr.. Potter, and
certificate Of her election was issued
by Judge Burpee.
An oversight on the part of the
counters was responsible for the de-
elared election of Mr.. Potter, he being
credited with eight votes to six for
Mrs. Witter.
A canvass of the Democratic vote
failed to account for the women's bal
lots and when inquiry WAS made the |

Resouss Are Attempted
The spectacle of such an infant in

both at Bimini and the various beach

into Mysteries at sight of what they
thought was a drowning child. and
men have leaped into the water to at.
tempt rescues.
Richard swims in any kind of wa

The latter makes his eyes sore, he
complains.
No theory of inherited powers car
explain the proelivities. Not only
are the parents of the child not swim

claim to fame in such capacity. The
