An unusual accident developing over the week-end was the fracture of the right leg sustained by Dicky Palmer, six-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Palmer. Some time during the day the youngster’s older sister fell while carrying him and the small child received an injury, which at the time could not be located.
Later, noting the agony of the child, the injury, not apparent to the eye, was sought. However, it was not until Monday when an X-ray photo was made, that it revealed that the right leg was broken just above the knee, and it was then understood why the youngster seemed to be in such agony when he moved his leg. Latest reports from the young fellow indicate that he is getting along fine, his young bones mending rapidly and no ill effect is expected to result from the fracture.
