home of Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard
Prather on Mateny I'd. Mrs.
Prather had fortunately discov-

home. The chimney was burned

their two sons, Bobby and Ron

a two-burner oil stove for
warmth. Ironically, the Prath-

A freak snow accident last
week was the cause of a cast
being worn by Spencer Ward,
eight-year-old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Maurice Ward. Spencer
was enjoying Shedding, when, as
he reached the bottom of a hill,
he put out his foot to brake the
sled. His foot caught in the
crusted snow, but his body
plummeted on. His leg was
fractured between the knee and
the ankle. While Spencer will
have to wear his cast for some
weeks, we extend best wishes
for a steady, complete mending
of the bone.
