•la'I Because he speaks very little
■ca t’>t Xnglish, Gerassimos—who has
itiiii(>i|fMdy be^n Americanized by
'•'a • ■ tpUe'Sc chums who’ve dubb^dt
fciifc ^im pl^ln “^ete”—tells hjs
.1(1 .1 story in a scrapbook care(u}Iy
srit ii^detail^ with pictures and his
pwn comments. ,
—“ It’s the story of a rescue ^rom.
tr^e^y that began qn the morn-
ink pf March 11. 1937.
' Gerassimos was working pn
t^f roof pt a plant, 37 feet high,
ib ^ iiUle town of preve^ in
a Greek city bordering
Iniy'. He stumbled and fell.
“The doctors told my rpja-
tivei that 1 was suffering from
it fracture of ray spine and that
there were but few hop^ of my
Hiding since the means availe^le
at the Preveza hospital were
.^la^equ^te Id^'sbch an opera-.
.'»uon. I wbs doomM die in a
AiW d^ys,” Gerassimos has
written.
“Luckily, bpwever,” he con-
tini^es, “the ' i^m^ica^ Mission
was informed and Mr. Ned Ma
son (pf tjie Mission) came to my
rescua.”
The personal plane of the Na
val Attache of the American Em
bassy in Athens was sent to
,. OcTMoimos’ rescue and flew him
on the one hour and 15 minute
' flijiht over the 300 miles from
I^eveza to Athens.
Qerassimos’ carefully com
piled book reflects how im-
pr«w^l he 9nd all the residents
_.,pf Preveza were that a high
American official interceded, atf
the book pute it—“to save the
Mfe of a poor laborer." Plctureir
show Preveza residents as they
follipwfd and intently watch^
the transport of their injure^
colmtryinan 6n a stretcher to
th* plane.
At the Voula Hospital in
Athens, Gera^imos was ope-
rpt^d on s^ccessfully And afi^r
four months of hospitaltztftion'
wu released.
Tn the interim he made
friends with the A^neriican Am-
ba^44or and throagh bis help o: :wo sruC^nts Ironv Greece
came to the United State3 to
study.
Qerascimos arrived in New
Yprk ki March, 18^6. &Dd came
to Mnrgjin jn ApPil. He’s one
among the terty-one ^rom four

Then there was December
26, 1947, we were promoting the
centenary of the Republic o|
Liberia and Duke had been com
missioned to compose the Liberi

ful composite of an introduc-
(continued from page 3)
reasonably afford to malw hi*
life better aixl living easier.
Electricity ^nerated by in-
vestor-owne(| utUities, hM

prices have doubled, consumer

spirit motivating the founda

lic. Decemlier 26, 1947, saw 26
inches of snow in New York
City—mo're snow than the Big
City had seen for a while. Lo-
beria’s elder statesman, C.D.B.
King, his country’s top diplo
matic representative to . the
U.S.A., was there, as was pur
Mary McLecyl Bethune. Mr,
fClng had never seen snow, nor
we as much. But Duke’s world
premiere of the Liberian Suite
tiie line and in nuuiy cases de
creased.
It is the plan and purpose of
the electric industry in blue
printing the next 20 years to
have these costs remain at a
level where the American con
sumer will continue to think
of the electricity that makes
life happier' for himself and
his fami^ as' inexpensive and .
. dependable.
