Out Of Skin (Continurd from Fife One) his strength was gone, anyway. NOBOOT WAS SURE •Hil* nurse, the doctors—every body, it seemed—was as nice and understanding as they could be with Jimmie during the long months that he lay tn Dunn Hos pital after the tragic accident which occurred ju*t a short ways from the grammar shool. At Christmastime, he was bun dled into a car and taken down town to see the lights. Nobody could do enough for him. And the trtftb is that nobody was sure enough could be done. “At first they thought he would n't ljve. and then they were afraid be d never be able to watt." said hia grandmother, Mrs. James w Wilson. Sr. of Dunn. AN ATHLETE EMERGES Its an old story that youngsters who seem like good prospects for a wheel-chair, an iron lung or an early etoituary frequently con found the prophets who give them up too early. The page* of Amer ican ►port are writ large with the record of stars who once could hardly make it to the medicine Vou couldn't caH Jimmie Wilson a gnat athlete yet—and maybe he wlB never be one—but at Edwards Military Academy (Salemburg, N. C.) where he is a first-year cadet, Jimmie has proved that his long ag<j accident cannot defeat him in the present. Jimmie tried out for every sport this year, didn t quite make the IooOmUI team., but found that on th» basketball court and the base ball field he doesn t have to take a back seat to anybody The only t me the other kids could notice his leg was in the shower room. For the soars still show—bad enough that you wonder why he l o t limping- how he manages to get around— FANS SEVENTY-ONE On the basebali diamond, he got around well enough to strike out 71 batters this year, to win seven games white lasing one) and to ccp the coveted trophy which goes to the “Best Pitcher of the Year," He also did his hare at bat. struck out mt oqce. and did his own base It would he hard to- find a purer case of what the doctors call “full recovery.' The memory of those 1Q1 days in the hospital — and the five months after he left the hospital when he could crawl but couldn’t walk—are blotted out by all the good things that have come after. Jimmie is 14 now. He was six years old. and a first-grader, the morning ihaat he crossed the street hit* the path of a big truck coming down Highway 301 in front of the grammar school “I tried to get back." Jimmie renjkjpbete-, “and I slipped pn the gravel and fell. The others were yelflng at me. but I couldn t do anything I just could see it com ing up on nge—the wheels coming —and then it got me. grid I was unconscious" SEARS FJtOM (^RATION Hi# leg hgd fitted in between the grooves of two tjres on the big trunk. It waa broken, but ter ribly brui^et). flattened- cut, twist-1 ed- The scars that can be seen now are from the two skip-grafting operations that eventually restored his leg. Skin was taken from both thighs to build up the terribly.in jured flesh Three of Dunn’* most prominent physicians—D». Charles W. Byrd. Dr W Wr Stanfield and Dr. L R Doffermyrp—had a hand in these » delicate acts of restoration. His grandfather, J. W Wilson, Sr , is certain that without their efforts, he could never have recovered. Jimmie himself, in his determin ation to matte the teg well, exer cised to hard that three times he opened the wound. Doctors later said that it was this which helped thg teg to grow straight, and that if it hadn't happened he might still have trouble walking. Until Saturday. Jimmie is in Dunn visiting his grandparents at 308 North Clinton Ave. Then he will *o to Magnolia. New Jersey, where his mother and father are. NO WOKHIES—EXCEPT Hi- grandparents think Jimmie'S recovery should be an inspiration to other youngsters who have been hurt or think that they have been counted out. "He's Just proved that be wasn't licked," Mrs. Wilson said. Jimmie has no worries Or at least he didn’t have until he told a newspaper reporter that bis beat pitch is the change of pace. Jim mie frowned and smiled nervously "Golly, he said, "X shouldn't have let that out.” , Shouldn't do any bami. though, in a year or two, his fast ball will be a stinger. > New Bathing (Continuer From rage One) As Fernand LaFitte, the design- • er, put it. “regard the beach more | like the cocktail party, as Euro pean women do.” LaFitte is a cigar-eyed young man who dees not believe in spik ing the lemonade, so his theory obviously didn't refer to refresh ments. "There are two things I mean,” he explained. “You should wear beach shoes with high heels and wear makeup. The shoes give the tegs a better line and the make up. . , well,” LaFitte shrugged ex pressively, "oniy the very young and sportive type can go without it satisfactorily." The designer dismissed the im portance of beach hats. beach Jewelry, bathing suit falsies and painted toenails as essential to outdoor allure. serrut falsies "The bus time of the bathing suit now is natural,” he said. "We do not put falsie* in bathing suits except for the woman who has absolutely nothing, and even these are more subtle than two years ago.” LaFitte leans toward the simple black one-piece bathing suit pre ferred by French women and not the bright-colored suits and print ed materials American women of ten wear. ' ‘The most becoming suit still is the one piece suit cut high on the thighs and with a neckline that dips very low in the front,” said the chief European designer tot the Jgntsen company. "Men do not admire women only for their figures,'* he said consol ingly. “And in America it is egs for b VPmap whp is npt so per fect in a bathing suit, because here you play pals with men. In France you never are friends with a wo man.” 9 LONDON » _ Thirty-eight three-year old- have been entered for the rwth renewal of the Eng lith Derby Stakes on June 8.
