BEVERLY ARNOLD OF
new PARIS SAVES
FRIEND IN RIVER

Beverly Arnold, IL years old of
New Paris, by her quick action
saved the life of Russell Chrisman
while she was visiting at the Chris
man home on the New Paris pike,
Monday afternoon when the chill
dren were swimming in the White
river near their home. Russell and
his sister Catherine and Beverly
had gone to wade and swim in the
river and the parents were away
from home. Much of the water
was shallow, scarcely any of it
over the heads of any of them,
though there we're holes which
were deeper which they did not
know about as they did not usual
ly go swimming in this place, but
in a place not SO far up the river.
Russell was 10 years old and very
good swimmer, and diver as well,
but suddenly he stepped out of
shallow water into hole which
was about feet deep 1t was SO
unexpected that he thinks he must
have become frightened and lost
his head. Beverly who was nearby
heard his hard breathing and swan
quickly to him, grabbing him by
one arm and swimming with the
other, although Russell struggled
hard against her, she swan with
him to safety, undoubtedly saving
his life by her quick clear thought
and her intelligent action.
