CREDITS HIS VOICE WITH SAVING LIFE
Michael Keh0e Describes Fight
 With Death in Swamp

Twice within a week the victor in a fight against death, Michael Kehoe Of 6S Fremont street, who was rescued from the Hunter road swamps Sunday night after three hour struggle. has rallied from the effects of exposure and exhaustion. and today reCountcd the incidents of his narrowing experience as he laid plans for return to his home within a few days.
 Mir. kehoe is a patient at the New Britain General hospital. His hands, arms and limbs bear the marks of struggle-bruses suffered from rocks, trees and the hard earth on to which he clung in his grim strug- gle against odds which had seemed overwhelming from the start.
 Not a Caruso, But
 To a powerful voice, Mir. Kehoe attributes his life. Smiling in the satisfaction that he had fought well and NiCtoriously against doom. the 66-year rold caretaker of St. Mary's cemetery today recited stories of the olden days when his was the voice called upon 10 summon fellow workmen stationed at a distance which no other voice could reach. ! The power Of his vocal cords was taxed to its fullest strength on Sun day night, however. as he cried out continually for help, and today three days afterward, he spoke with l a hoarScness and very apparent ef- ! fort that was reminiscent of what was undoubtedly the most nerve racking three-hour period in his eX- perience.

THEY ARE JUST AS DEAD

On Wednesday, May IS, we were all
Mortified to read of the terrible tragedy
in Bath, Michigan, in which some
forty-four school children and their
teachers were killed by terrific dyna-
mite explosion which destroyed the
school house. 1t was catastrophe of
nationwide interest. II was unneces-
sary.
During the month of March forty
seven children died in the city Of De-
troit from diphtheria. These children
are just as dead as those who were
killed in the explosion and many Of
them suffered even more, yet nobody
IS particularly interested or aroused
over the situation except the parents
actually affected. The loss Of these
lives was just as unnecessary as the
loss of lives through the explosion.
The difference in public interest is
probably due principally to the fact
that, in diphtheria, deaths are not un-
usual while deaths as a result Of ex-
plosion are. How long are we going
to consider as not unusual, deaths from
cause, (diphtheria) which is definite
ly preventable and which ought to be
just as unusual as deaths from explo-
sion in school buildings?
Diphtheria may definitely be pre-
vented by having all children, most es-
peciaily those under ten years of age,
given three doses Of oxin-anti-toxin
mixture followed by Schick test six
months later to make sure that they
are protected.
