Milford High Boy
Plays Football

The most courageous Eastern
Shore athlete of 1949 without
doubt is John McInerney of Lin
coin. Here's a boy who whipped
polio and today is playing football
for Milford High. A year ago this
month he was rushed to the Doris
Memorial Hospital, Wilmington,
with paralysis of the throat. John
ny's friends shook their heads. 1t
was the end, they feared. Needle
nutrition kept him alive for awhile.
He swallowed only when he could
wet up enough saliva by breathing
through a rubber tube Johnny, a
big husky boy of 10, dropped 20
pounds in one week. Strange as it
seems, this determined youngster
completely recovered, and return
ed home within a month.
The happiest over this miracu-
lOus comeback of course, are his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen j.
McInerney. They say JOhnny's life
was saved through the efforts of
DR.. George BONES. 1--WE can't say
too much about DR.. BONES" Mrs.
McInerney declared. "He was Won
derful to my boy"
! Johnny returned home, regained
his strength, and was in the Mil
/ ford High classroom not later than
February. The boy wanted to dc
his part for humanity. So he vol
unteered to solicit contributions
for the March of Dimes drive. He
rode his bicycle all over Lincoln
making a door to door tour, warn.
ing the people of the disease, anC
telling them how thankful he wa:
to be living.
Johnny McInerney today weighs
100 pounds, and stands six foo
two inches. Think of that. A yeal
ago he was down to $50, and, man!
thought. on deaths door His am
bition is to enroll at Notre Dam,
| University after he graduates a
J Milford High in 1851.
