So You Think
You Can't
Save Money?
It's all a matter of finding a way
to spend less than you earn. Mil
lions of people have discovered a
good way to do just that. They
use the Payroll Savings Plan to
buy U. S. Savings Bonds. Under
the Plan any amount they choose
is set aside from their pay for
Bonds. This makes saving very
easy because they've found that
the money they don't touch is
money they're sure to save and
can't dribble away.
You save more than money
with U.S. Savings Bonds

My Mother Saved
My Life
A near-miracle
teaches a boy the meaning and strength of love
By CHARLES TROTTER as told to John M. Ross
IT was A quiet but busy Sunday at our
home in Tampa, Fla. Mom was helping
my stepfather, Maxwell Rogers, with the
heavy bookkeeping involved in his work as
a newspaper circulation manager. My sis
ter, Patricia, who's 10, was playing with her
friends next door, and I was working on our
station wagon in the back yard.
When I became old enough to apply for
my junior driver's license, I made an agree
ment with my parents. For permission to
drive the family car, I promised to wash
and lubricate it regularly and do other
maintenance jobs. It was a good deal. Like
most 16-year-old fellows, I really love to
putter around a car.
That afternoon we were planning to do
some fishing off the Skyway Bridge, where
trout and sheepshead were running big.
While I waited for my parents to finish
their work, I decided to grease the car. To
work on the universal joints, I had blocked
the front wheels and jacked up the rear.
My job was going along nicely until I jerked
the wrench while trying to tighten a nut.
The sudden jolt caused the jack to slip from
under the bumper, and in the next instant
the car pinned my right leg to the ground.
Pain shot through my body like a bolt of
lightning, and I cried out for help.
Little Patricia and her friends, who were
nearby, ran into the house, screaming. Mom

and Dad came on the double. Dad, sizing
up the situation quickly, did what any aver
age man would do he went for the jack,
knowing it was the only way to lift the car.
Mom is a licensed practical nurse, hardened
to crises, but now she was almost hysterical.
Hearing my screams, she reacted desper
ately. Without waiting for Dad to reset the
jack, Mom simply grabbed the bumper with
both hands and lifted. The car rose! I pulled
out my leg and scrambled from under the
car to safety.
"Are you all right, son?". Mom gasped,
her face strained with pain.
I started to answer, but Mom collapsed.
At the hospital, X rays disclosed that
Mom had broken her back in saving me.
The tremendous strain of lifting the car had
caused a compression fracture, with one
vertebra crushed. Luckily, there was no
paralysis, and the doctors said that after six
months in a brace Mom would be as good
as new. Strangely enough, I received only
a few minor cuts and bruises.
Of course, it's a well-known fact that
the body is capable of superhuman feats in
an emergency. But in lifting a 3,300-pound
car, Mom amazed even the medical experts.
For one thing, Mom, who stands about 5-feet-7,
weighs only 123 pounds. She's not
only slim, she's not particularly strong. In
fact, for two weeks just prior to the acci-
