State Road Man, Lame Three
Years, May Soon Walk Again
Could Recover
Within Year
Under Treatment
A 26-year-old State Road man,
helpless and paralyzed, has a ray
of hope to get back on his feet
and earn a living for his wife,
little daughter and himself.
But obscuring that ray of impe
at present is the lack of finances I
for hospital treatment.
Three years ago James Walter
Childress was working under a car
when the car fell. His back was
broken and spinal column severed,
resulting in complete paralysis of j
his legs and body from the waist:
down. !
The North Carolina Rehabilita
tion Division spent all available
hospital money for his case during
Iris long stay in Baptist Hospital
in Winston-Salem following the
accident. Other groups helped
some, along with the hospital.
Now an opportunity has come
for the crippled man to go to the
Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation
Center at Pisherville, Va. It is es
timated that in one year's time
there he can become able to walk
with aid of braces and can learn
a trade. His prospects there would
be good for walking again, and for
becoming able to earn a livelihood
for his family.
But an obstacle to that program
has developed, m the form of skin
ulcers caused by lying in bed so
long. Doctors say this trouble can
be cured by extensive hospital

treatment and skin grafting, which
costs much money.
With 90 days treatment in a
hospital he would be ready for the
rehabilitation center, and the
State Rehabilitation Division could
take over there and pay for that
training. But no funds are avail
able for the hospital care and
treatment needed to get him ready
for rehabilitation.
James T. Price of Winston
Salem, rehabilitation counselor,
said in reporting on his case
that Childress has a very res
ponsive attitude and would like
nothing better than to become ftble
to make his own way and provide
for his wife and little daughter.
They are now at the home of her
parents.
In relation to livestock prices,
the prices for milk and its prod

WELL, OWL DECLARE — Tom Cooley, son of Mr. ami Mrs. T. F.
Cooley of Klondike Farm, holds a critter which proved smart enough
last week to fool three steel traps but fool enough to get smarted by
the trap on the next veutnre. The Cooleys found a hen slaughtered
and torn to pieces one morning last week. Steel traps were set to
capture the killer but the following morning showed three steel
traps sprung, all the remaining chicken gone and no culprit. Rut
the second setting netted this huge owl who is now in captivity at
the farm. <photo by bell)
