Vacation Days
For Wasilla Kids
WASILLA—Local youngsters
are almost wishing school was
open again. Such a rash of acci
dents has overtaken them since
vacation began, they’re begin
ning to believe vacations are un
healthy this year.
First victim was James Hil

bruised when a house on which
he had been playing collapsed.
James was caught beneath the
framework and was severely
bruised before rescued. He spent
several days in the Valley hos
pital as a result of the mishap.
Jerry Sorensen was next on
the accident list. He was riding
double on a bicycle, when the
frame collapsed and Jerry land
ed hard. The result was several
stitches in a badly bitten lip.
Judy Betts was the third can
didate for hospitalization. She
stepped too close to a sister who
was wielding an ax and received
a cut on her face that also re
quired a doctor’s attention.
All of Wasilla is holding its
breath as they wonder uneasily
‘Who’s next?’
