Through this natural instinct of
play, it is possible to cultivate to a
high decree those qualities of

and their efforts were i sponslbie
for such a successful year.

Infection In Ella’s Foot
Follows Series of Ali-
ments During the
Winter.
Ella McElwee. 10 year old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles McElwee
of North Main street. Westport. is
now suffering from an infected foot.
The condition of the youngster is
nor serious, but she will be unable
to move around on her foot for sev-
eral days. i
Hard luck has been following the
McElwee family all winter. Fol-
lowing the first snowatorin in Feb-
ruary the town of Weetport spent
several days trying to open the road
leading from the center to tho hic-
Biwee house so medical aid could
reach there. Barbara was seriously
ill for several days with pneumonia.
She could not be removed to the
Norwslit Hospital as thoxwmport
ambulance was unable to reach her
home.
After Barbara recovered, Donald.
Ella and Katherine. were taken ill
with the measles. The children were
very sick. Dr. H. s. Phillips was
unable to reach the Molilwoe home
until a woelr after the three young-
sters were Iii. Mrs. bioEiweo de-
scribed the condition of her children
to the doctor twice a. day and be
prescribed treatmentcvor the tele-
phone. The children unaily ro-
covered.
Early this week Elia‘s right foot
became swollen and infection fol.
lowed. It is thought that she stepped
lon a nail and the infection resulted
from a slight scratch.
