His arms must be tired....

Baby Flown 'To and From'
According to tradition, all babies arrive at the hospital by air, courtesy of the stork. Most go home in autos, some in ambulances.

But James Erik Andrews, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Andrews, Blachly, liked flying to much as decided to make a round trip out of it.

After arriving at Sacred Heart Hospital via the old-fashioned stork, he transferred to the more modern airplane, and checked out of the hospital by plane for the return trip to his Blachly home.

The plane, belonging to his father and uncle, was piloted by the uncle, Obert Andrews.

Jimmy is believed to be the first infant to fly to and from the hospital.

Family Gets Presents Late

Members of a Veneta family received a few Christmas gifts late this year.

It took an investigation by a deputy sheriff to locate six packages where were stolen from under the Christmas tree at the Frank Burns home Dec. 22.

Deputy Wayne Dillon unearthed the packages, most containing clothing after two boys confessed Wednesday they had taken the gifts.

The packages had been buried in a chicken house in the Veneta area, Dillon said. The clothing and other gift items weren’t damaged, he added.
