When the Circus Comes to Town and the Rescue
Whalen lake tale of Willie Johnson a fourteen year old boy who drowns in cold water while swimming with friends Alf Hughes and Johnny Porter. Two fishermen rescue the boy from twelve feet under, revive him after an hour of CPR, and a mother’s prayers and a doctor’s skill return him to life. The article shifts to a humorous effort about Cephas Giddle and a Florida alligator painting gone wrong, then a suburban servant mishap ending in a near accident at an opera outing.
