Two Skaters Fall
Through Thin
Ice at Lake
Over Weekend

Several adventurous skaters
took to the ice on Lake Como
last weekend and two found the
pastime a little damp and cold.
Late Friday afternoon Michael
Francis, l3, went through the
thin ice and after a struggle
was able to break through to
a thicker formation and crawl
to safety. His only companion,
a youngster of about the same
age, was rendered helpless dur
ing the mishap. Michael, half
frozen, made his way to the
highway where he was picked
up by a passing motorist and
taken to the home of his grand
mother, Mrs. Vivian Beltz, on
South DUPONT Parkway. Mrs.
Beltz, a registered nurse, cared
for the lad. Early Saturday af
ternoon, Jerome D. Niles iii, Is,
fell through the thin ice near
the center of the lake. While
struggling and grasping the
creaking ice around him, his
skating companion, John Fear
on, l3. reacted quickly to the
emergency and dashed overe-to
the side of the lake and yelled
for help. Willard Richards, who
had seen the incident as he
watched from Main Street, raced
to the service station across the
street and grabbed rope and
tossed it to Fearon. The l3-
year-old skated back near Niles
and threw him the rope. Rich
ards and Gilbert Simpson, of
Milford, another skater, helped
Fearon pull Niles to safety.
Chief of police, John w. Jac-
obs credited both Fearon and
Richards with a terrific job" of
rescue work. I'm amazed they
got him out" the chief said.
Hes very fortunate. he's liv-
ing" The near tragedy didn't
dampen the boys enthusiasm
for skating. They were back

Quick Action
OF Employees
Averts Bad Fire

Volunteers of the Citizens
Hose Company were called on
successive days, the first alarm
on Thursday, at $50 p. M, and
the next at 9:l5 a m, on Fri
day. The fire on Thursday was
at the farm of Robert Proud,
Woodland Beach Road, in a
house trailer occupied by George
Barber and owned by Proud.
The trailer was used as a ten
ant house and the blaze result
ed from thawing pipes under
the building. The loss to trail
er and contents amounted to
81, 900, not covered by insur-
ance. Twenty-six firemen were
at the scene one hour. The trail
er was located near the barns,
and baled hay had been packed
around the base of the trailer
as insulation, causing the fire
to spread more rapidly. How
ever, it was confined to the
trailer. The fire on Friday morn
ing was at Farmers Supply,
located on the Dupont Parkway
within the town limits. Thirty
three men responded. A trac-
tor motor and parts were being
cleaned with a plastic brush,
causing a spark to be set off.
The blaze was confined to the
immediate area and the work
bench. However. smoke dam
aged the building, including the
show room to an estimated
$500. According to Fire Chief
Reynolds Bradley the quick ac-
tion of employees until the ar
rival of firemen was respon-
sible for the small loss involved.
The volunteers were one-half
hour in action. The volunteers
responded to a call Friday, at
S p. m, for a car on fire on
North DUPONT Parkway. The
seventh alarm of the 1862 year

Pierce to Face Stafford
This is a rather strange Sc
ries in some respects, possibly
because of the National League
playoff that made it almost
anti-climax in the San Fran
cisco area. In the clubhouses
the last two days it would have
been difficult to tell which
team won and which team lost.
The Giants bowed to Ford's
superiority in the opener and
took it gracefully. And in los
ing yesterday. the Yankees took
the attitude that there's moth
ing that can be done about a
pitching job like Sanford's. The
clubs respect each other. But
not many neutral persons ex-
pect the Yankees to lose.
Tomorrow the Giants will go
with southpaw Billy Pierce, the
White Sox castoff with a 1876
record, and the Yankees with
righthander Bill Stafford, who
has pitched in three series
games the last two years with
out a decision. He was 1919
during the regular season.
