Page 2 THE KEY WEST CITI: Happy Easter Hopes Dim For Kelly Family Cannot Get Their Deaf Child Down For Holy Week A young mother walked into | The Citizen today crying, won- dering how she can get her deaf ten year old son home for a ten day Easter vacation from the New Jersey School for the Deaf, Trenton where he is being edu- cated. Mrs. Thomas Kelly, 27, came to Key West just before Christmas because her husband, a World War II veteran had the best chance of his life on a carpenter’s job. They brought young Teresa, 9 and Pat, three and one-half. Tommy was left behind in the school on recommendation of medical authorities. Tommy's school lets out for the holidays next week. But Tommy's family cannot find a way of gefting the child down here from Trenton, a distance of some 1500 miles. Hope loomed last week when Mrs. Kelly answered an ad of a Northern lady who said she was driving to Florida and would car- Ty @ passenger. But hope fell when that lady wrote saying her trip down would take at least ten days be- cause she is going to visit many friends en route. Now Mrs. Kelly is in @ quandary. She had hoped to raise round trip $86 plane fare for Tommy through work- ing nights. That plan was de- molished when she broke her arm two weeks ago, not only preventing her from working, but using up the slim savings. ‘Though her husband is making the best pay of his life as a car- penter here, the Kelly family is heavily in debt for their trip down here, for the trailer they have bought on time, and for medical bills. " Mrs, Kelly is writing the ‘school in Trenton to see if they ean find someone else who might drive Tommy down. She is wondering if there is If so Mrs. Kelly can be reached at the Pearl Trailer Court on Stock Island, telephone 2-3403. In tears today at the aor a of her hopes on the ride down proffered Mast week, Mrs. Kelly prays that her Easter will be complete with her beloved, han- dicapped son, a part of the fami- ly circle. Tommy was born deaf after his mother had German measles. He could not talk until he was six years old, and suffers from poor eyesight also. . Despite his handicaps, the school and’ the Boy Scouts have B commended Tommy for his hero- ism in saving from drowning @ four year old boy at Christmas “It isn’t his fault he is deaf and has to be in school up there while we're down here, I just hate to think of him all alone during his ten day vacation,” The WEATHERMAN Monday, March 23, 1953 Key West and Vicinity: Partly cloudy and warm today through Tuesday.

TODAY'S STOCK MARKET NEW YORK # — The stock market was mixed today with trad- ing quiet after a brisk opening. Price changes were relatively small with a few issues showing changes of major fractions or around a point. Tending lower were such major divisions as railroads, motors, chemicals, and aircrafts, although each of these sections was able to show some plus signs. Steels and aircrafts appeared to be mustering some “strength, but the display was not impressive. Among higher stocks were Union Pacific, Ameri¢an Telephone, Re- public Steel, and Radio Corp. Lower were Chrysler, Douglas Aircraft, United Aircraft, Admiral Corp., International Telephone, Al- lied Chemical, American Tobacco, New York Central, and Standard Oil (NJ), Reviewing Stand BY RAYMER “Water, Water, Everywhere,” by Mary Walsh, pictured by Helene Carter, published by Ab- ingdon, Cokesbury, Nashville 2, Tenn.
