Frazier Faces Bleak Christmas After Olympic Gold
Joe Frazier, 21, Olympic heavyweight champion, returns from Tokyo with a broken thumb and unable to work in a Philadelphia slaughterhouse. His employer provided a $100 Christmas gift two weeks ago, and he used it to support his wife Florence and three children Marvis, Jacqueline, and Weatta. Frazier underwent surgery at Hahnemann Hospital and had three pins removed after a two month cast. The U S Olympic Committee may assist as a hardship case, but funds must be in trust and not set as precedent.
