Douglas Phillips, second son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Phil
lips, will start school next
week and with handicap, for
he recently fell from his BIZ
cycle and broke his right arm.
Maybe he will be lucky enough
to have the cast off in time,
but if the cast must stay on
for a longer period, Douglas,
like most of the other young
people, will adapt himself to
his new surrounding without
much effort. Too bad to carry
around a cast in this extreme
weather, but that is another
matter of little consequence to
the youth.
