Heil, | CRIPPLE REGEIVES MAIL BY THE TON Flood of Gilts Overjoys Boy With Britle Bones Bellaire, O., Feb, 22—Little Billy Newhart, has décided that he wouldn't change places with any lit- tle boy in the world—for all the fact that his bones arec so brittle that he is all the himself by fracturing them. The lad, who has had 30 broken { bones in the 12 years of his life, and Who has spent cight of his 12 years | in bed as a result, is feeling fine today, thank you—and with gcod reason, In the first place, have removed the plaster casts that have encased his legs und left arm for several weeks, and he is able to | get.out of bed agaln. And in the second place, Billy has found he has more friends than anybody ever dreamed of having. He has reecived approximately 20,- 000 letters and post cards since the day, a fortnight ago, when the Newspaper Enterprise As.ociation stnt out o its member newspapers a story about his misfortunes, And Lots of Ginst Twenty thousand letters and post s—and that isn’t all. Packages of toys have been flooding his home. There is a toy auto, a whole tet of games, a pretty canary in a gilt gage {a stack of books—and, last but not least, a fine new radio wet, deliv- ered and installed by the boy's bed local dealer, The average daily total of letters, packages and cards is close to 2,000. The flood shows no sign of letting {up. Mail Carrier Lawrence Keitz {has been working overtime eovery day getting the stuff out to the New- hart” home, three miles from town. Today he took one big bagful of letters on his first trip, and then had to come back for two more bags of parcels that were too heavy 1o carry the first time. In addition, a 70-pound parcel is at the post office awaityng delivery. Billy isn't being spoiled at all. H: doesn't feel that the cat flood of 1ail means that he 1o be pitted: he simply thinks that it means that there are a great many Kind-hearted i people all over the country. It makes him happy, but he is proud or affected by it. A Modest Kid He's modest, too, and he has a pretty good sense of proportion. He doesn't let the newspapermen take any more photographs of him, for instance.
