George Keeling, former crib bage champion and mechanic at NOE, is on crutches-vlctlm of the most unasual Friday the thirteenth accident we have ever
 recorded.
 George was working around a l truck at the base, and another mechanic was workt z under the truck, when a dog came along. The dog must have been myoplc because 1t mist ok the man un- der the truck for tree, and George attempted to thwar the animal by ad'nlnIs'erng 8 lust. kick ID the direction f the dos The dog moved. Keeling's kick
 landed--not on the pup but on a

 Result-f0ot fractured in 3 places; Ike Ing on crutches fo some weeks
