(UPI) Joseph Crescinamo, 26, may not -. have committed a perfect crime, " but according lo police it was an efficient one. Police said Tues " day that they arrested him after he walked out of a department store with four shirts he hadn't paid for and discovered he had made out a "shopping list" of i. other clothes he planned to steal. aid whatsoever but his leg braces. Since that time he has progressed enough to enter a public school in town this fall. The steps leading up to this accomplishment are long and var ied, traveling from a fear of any situation which threatened his po sitional security at the beginning of his hospital stay, to the school year of 1956 when he began to walk with crutches. , In 1957 Herbie moved to canes with small tripod bases and could walk 115 leet in one n-jnule. By 1958 he was using them with speed and efficiency. Then in October he made the big step of walking un aided. One person who has been instru mental in Herbie's recovery has been Mrs. Philip Cole, 415 Hillside Avenue. In 1958 she received a let ter from George R. Stafford, man aging director of the school, who knew Mrs. Cole was interested in the child. He stated that Herbie was an excellent student and had a good chance to become a useful citizen But that he had to return for one year to learn how to manage him self in preparation for attending public school. Mrs. Cole helped to raise mon ey to send him back by sponsoring a rummage sale which raised. $1,000. The money went into e trust fund to help pay for his expenses. Of the $1,000 there is still $50 which will be used for his further education and physical therapy. Now a year later, almost to the day of the rummage sale, Herbie has made a definite conquest over this crippling disease. School of ft cials'have recommended him as a student who should do very well academically and that he should make a real contribution to the grade to which he is assigned. His first year, they add, may be hard for the boy because he missed a large percentage of his academic work while taking ther apy. But they are confident he can do it, as they feel that he has "the intelligence, ambition and character to work through these initial difficulties. And when he does (we), are certain the entire community will be proiui of this youngster." A heartfelt letter of thanks was recently received by Mrs. Cole from Herbie's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Cobb, 3704 Dia mond Street. They thanked the many people who helped make it possible for the little boy to at tend the hospital which is spon sored by the Easter Seal Agency. Mrs. Cole also expressed her thanks to the many people who aided this youngster on his way to becoming a useful, happy mem ber of this community. 9K ' 4l 1 iv' 111 Kjl'' $ 1 f"j - , i !
