lew rescued two small boys en-
trapped in a small smoldering
veneer canopy. Inside were two
bales Of hay ready TO burst into
flame. Philip discovered the
smoke billOwing out of the can
opy following the frantic shouts
of the little fellows. Acting quick
ly. Philip grabbed a pail Of water
and dashed more than 100 yards
across TO where the boys were.
He discovered they had broken
the small window and had their
heads sticking out, the only act
that prevented them from suffo-
eating. After pushing them out
of the opening he swiftly pushed
the canopy over and the bales
instantly exploded into flame.
He pulled each child away in
the nick of time. each escaping
with singed eyelashes, eyebrows
hair and in q state of near hys-
terra.
The little guys were Nels Cos
tel. son of Stella COstel, and
Dillinger Cletus Whitegrass, son
of Alan and Isabella Whitegrass.

fortunate for many years TO have
Philip living in their midst for

grateful thank you for saving the
