Proof that the Conant plan works
was evidenced recently in a practice
game between the Dad-Coached
Pirates and Wildcats and the Wood
acres Md WaspS. Two teams play
ing against an opponent at once?
Not exactly. Larry told the team
members who got the most families
out to the game would be the first to
play. More than 200 persons showed
up that Saturday at Hearst Elemen-
tary School playground.
You're out" yelled umpire Paul
Keats, calling close play at first.
Between innings he said in an aside:
TT was the best thing that could have
happened to both of us speaking of

squad. He's so eager. he just about

In a group of players of the field,
one boy was swinging bat.
Son. you'll have to swing that war
club somewhere in the open or you're
liable to bounce it off your pals
heads" The eagle-eyed father speak
ing was Robert Quick, whose SON,
Steve, 8, catches for the Pirates.
"Stressing safety is one of the ways
all dads can participate in the game"
he pointed out Then, pulling up his
right pants leg, he said with laugh:

A year ago Christmas a blond,
blue-eyed infant lay motionless
in Philadelphia hospital bed,
while his parents received the
crushing news: Only miracle
caan save your baby"
Their first-born son. John and
Mary Hotter were told, was a VIC
tim of the dread hydrocephalus--
water on the brain" Hydroceph-
alus, which hits thousands yearly,
has various causes, but the results
are always the same: Cerebro-
spinal fluid, which originates N
certain large brain cavities and
normally drains off into the spin
al column, accumulateS, swelling
the head and squeezing the brain.
Most cases are doomed to swift
and merciful death
Today, tiny Charles Case Hotter
-fondly nicknamed Casey
a normal baby who not only has
cheated death, but his inventor
father is turning out life-saving
valves for dydrocephalic babies
all over the country. Their story
is one of the medical triumphs Of
the year.
The Hooters. in their late thir-
ties, waited 8 years for baby
Casey-then he was born with
manifold disabilities. When he
was. only l8 hours old, he was
rushed to Philadelphia's Lanke-
nau Hospital for removal of her
nia-like bulge of the spinal cord.

Casey came home for Christmas,
but soon his head began to swell
and he was rushed back to Lam
kenau. DR.. Eugene B. Spitz, a
brilliant young specialist in by
drocephaluS, said he could oper-
ate, but it would provide only
temporary relief. A tube would be
inserted in Casey's skull, the Hol-
tiers were told. 1t would run down
beneath the skin to the stomach
where it would discharge the ex-
cess spinal fluid now croWding
the tiny brain But there were two
serious drawbacks: most likely the
tube would clog; if it didn't, the
child's body would outgrow it.
Faced with no alternative, the
Holters approved he last
chance operation.
Once again Casey underwent
difficult surgery and, ten DAYS
later, as doctors feared, tissue had
clogged the tube and they had to
re-operate. The outlook appeared
bleak indeed, as the Holters be-
gan their long bedside vigil
along with the other parents
whose hydrocephalic children
were in adjoining rooms.
AS the days wore on, John and
Mary snatched at every new shred
OF hope, and at every wild rumor
