Butch's surgeon said a local

the little boys shoulder and that
lit will take about six weeks be-
fore the artificial limb can be
completed and fitted. The left
arm will be made first, he said,
because Butch was left-handed.
His right arm is to come later.
The deposit of the money yes

nearly $4,000, while another fund
at La Plata, Md, has grown to
about $1,000. 1t reported ly
jumped from around $4,000 last
