A spinal injury, suffered when a wall collapsed, paralyzed him from the waist down. Members of the Riverside fire company, of which he was a mem- ber, began a door-to-door fund drive and had the house built for Bob at an estimated cost of $20,- 000. “When I was lying in the hos- pital for 11 months after the ac- cident, things looked pretty dim,” he recalled. “Then, out of a clear blue sky, } I get this beautiful home given to me and about all I can do is get all choked up and start to sniffle. “I even caught myself crying last night when people dropped by to welcome me into my new home.” The new home, a_ sprawling, Van Johnson Is Rebel Captain In Strand Movie With his role as a Confederate captain behind the Union lines dur- ing the last days of the Civ] War in “The Siege at Red River,” to open at the Strand Theatre Thurs- day, Van Johnson further affirmed his repuation as one of Hollywood’s most versatile stars and one of its most durable military men.

For his role as Captain Farra- day, Van was called on to ride a horse for the first time and here again he demonstrated his versa- tilite Before “The Siege at Red River” was finished he had be- come an expert rider although he admitted “that I spent too many nights dining off the mantel after my first introduction to the saddle.” bike, dolls and a cowboy suit for | my little brother. | Annette Knowles 723 Elizabeth St |Dear Santa Claus, I would like very much to have |a Cindy strutter doll, a doll strol- | er, a little bathinette, nurse set and |a quilt set and please bring Tom- my a baby doll and trains.
