pulled out of some mighty tight
squeezes—but none as tight as the
collar he tried to button one night in
dolling himself up for an important
party. Director Bradford fought so
fiercely that he had to go to the
hospital for emergency treatment of
severe finger bruises inflicted by the
collar button. He switched to sport
shirts.
Flying Angel

Gary Wilmer, Jr., of Atlanta, Ga.,
hopes for the best in the hereafter, of
course. But he also hopes that he
makes out better as a real angel than
he did on his pilot run. Playing an
angel in an amateur theatrical, Mr.
Wilmer came down to earth with a
bang when the cable supporting him
above the stage snapped as he floated
in mid-air.

And in Glendale, Calif., ex-City
Manager Charles C. McCall has ap-
plied for state compensation with the
claim that he swiveled so vigorously in
his swivel chair that he hurt his back.
(You lugs who don’t rate swivel
chairs—wipe off that smile!).

Sticks Head in Wrong Place

Every mother, doctor, policeman
and fireman knows that any small boy
has an irresistible urge to stick his
head into places it doesn’t belong.
Cases in point:

Mickey Holloway, of Birmingham,
Ala., was as pleased as any two-year-
old boy would be at his fascinating
ability to make faces at his older
sister. The faces were even more
satisfactory, Mickey discovered, when
they were framed between the bars
of the bannister in his home. You
guessed it. His head got caught be-
tween the bars. Firemen pried him
loose. Even his sister felt sorry for
him—a little.

But the boy who emerged head
and shoulders above any other head-
sticker-into of 1950 was young Philip
Burrows. Phil also was only two years
old, but he had the advantage of
living in Hollywood, Calif., where
they do things more spectacularly.
So Phil chose to steal headline honors

by getting his head stuck in, of all
things, a toilet seat. Even the firemen,
accustomed to this type of crisis, were
impressed as they went to work with a
saw to dethrone him. They succeeded,
and everything is hoity toity now.

It is a well known sociological fact
that a kiss in a car has upset many a
driver and many a car. But the un-
usual thing about the loving smack
that smoocher Garrit Van Drie of
Belding, Mich., bestowed on a fair
driver to cause a wreck was the fact
that the recipient was his mother,
and that Garrit was only three.

Thorn Saves Car

At Cannon Ball Beach, South
Africa, H. W. Lewis drove his car over
a 100-foot cliff above the sea. A thorn
tree on the brink caught the car,
held it fast. Mr. Lewis climbed out to
safety with a scratched thumb.

And at Toulouse, France, a gust of
wind shook eight-year-old Louis
Henry out of his seat in a ski lift
directly over an 800-foot chasm. His
skis became entangled in the wires
of the lift and held the boy suspended
over the chasm until the lift was re-
versed to a point where he could be
released.

To avoid that tired and rundown
feeling four-year-old Brian O’Connor
of Woodlawn, Md., suggests hurry-
ing out to lunch. ‘That’s what he did
when his mother called him to his
noonday meal. Seconds later a six-foot,
1500-pound tire—fugitive from a road
scraper—crashed through the wall of
the room Brian had just left and de-
molished the spot where he had stood.

Flagpole Waves Man

It is no uncommon thing during a
parade to see a man waving a flag.
But even in these topsy-turvy days it
