Respond to Mothers Plea at Prospect; YOungster
 Found in Woods

A Prospect mother is grateful to- day to two Connecticut Light and Power meter readers.
 The mother, Mrs. Robert s. Gray was almost distracted yesterday afternoon when Vincent DiLucia ar- rived at the house to check figures on the gas meter. She told the man her 2-year-old daughter. Adele, had been missing about two hours. She had called for her in vain.
 DiLucia summoned Eugene O'Neil who was working with him, and the two began searching the woods around the Gary residence.
 When they came upon the child about a half mile from the house, she was playing in the dirt with her dog, Rover. At the approach of the two men, Rover sprang up to de- fend the child, and refused to let O'Neil and DiLucia come any closer
 The two men talked to the child and finally got her to call off her dog. Then the four began their hike back to the girls home. Waiting for them on the porch was Mrs. Gray, smiling happily through her tears.
 O'Neil saved the life of Bethany invalid, George Avery, rescuing him from his bed on May 9, I94i, while his house was in flames.
