Mrs. Byron Hollenbeck of Pal

survival after a near-fatal maul

Three-year-old Eric Byron
Hollenbeck reportedly was bit

face and neck and his right arm
is paralyzed. The Swdres were
told on July 15 that the child
was on the operating table for
over four hours and that after

the amendment, and the meas
ure is now before President
Kennedy.
The bill authorized an appro
priation of $15,000 to the Li
brary of Congress to provide a
permanent and usable index of
births, marriages, deaths and
baptisms from church records
kept through the years by the
priests in some 15 churches and
26 chapels covering wide areas
of Alaska.
The records, which were sent
in two shipments to the Library
in 1927 and 1940, mainly cover
periods from 1816 to 1933. Rec
ords of years since 1880 are con
sidered of particular value as
they contain vital statistics not
otherwise available and in
many cases constitute the only
source to assist many of Alas
ka's native people to prove
their births for Social Security
and other purposes.
Florida has the largest num
ber of different kinds of trees,
with 314 species of native and
naturalized trees.
