Tommy Rose, who never

was 13-years-of-age before
he was able to say one word,
was a visitor here Thursday
and carried on a normal
conversation with a number
of Southport citizens, who
I were amazed at the accomplishments
of this unusual
young man from San Francisco,
Cal.
With only a glimpse of
your lips as you speak, Tommy
can tell you every word
you said. When he talks, his
voice is barely above a whisper,
yet his enunciation is
perfect.
This young man was a
member of Ripley's "Believe.

been around the world three

ors of 70,000 towns and cit|

I Tommy is 28-years-old, and
was born in Holland. He was
brought to this country when

claims that he is the only

born deaf and dumb and later
learned to talk. His education
began at the moment
when one of his playmates 1
became troubled because
Tommy couldn't talk and
hear as he could. It extended i
to the point that he is the
master of five languages, has
won his doctors degree in
| medicine and has become an
accomplished organist. His
education has cost 885,000,
he said.
Even if Tommy couldn't

in reducing the principal

The interest payments
