ARCADIA HAS CHILD HEROINE

Little Christine Wagner, the bright
1 II year old daughter Of Prof. and
Mrs. J. P. Wagner has won for herself
the title of heroine by saving her
three year old playmate, Lucille Davis
little daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
Davis, from drowning.
The children were at the high school
building where their mothers were re-
hcarsing a play. Becoming thirsty
they went down stairs to the large
fountain in front Of the building for
a drink of water. The younger child
climbed upon the edge Of the large con,
crete basin and fell in the water, which
at the time happened to be several
feet deep. Little Christine Wagner
at once attempted to rescue her. Re.
alizing her inability to do so, she rush.
ed up the stairs as rapidly as her
chubby legs would carry her, shouting
for assistance for her playmate. AL
though busily engaged upon the stage
at the time, Mrs. Jack Davis, mother
of the drowning child was the firs
to reach the fountain, rescuing bel
baby just in time.
A moment longer and the chile
would have been drowned. AS i
took several moments to resuscitat'
her.
Such presence of mind as displayed
by little Christine is rare indeed TO
a child of her age, and she deserves
medal Of distinction for having save'
a life.
