Finally, 15 montlis and one day

other would live.
The surgeons felt that Rodney
Dee was the stronger, so they
gave the vein to him. Roger Lee
never regained consciousness and
35 days later he died.
Rodney Deo began his tremcn.

For five years he was in the
hospital. He had operation after

to provide some 'sort of bone
structure on the top of his head.
Youth Never Recovered
Rodney Dee went home to his
parents and seven brothers and
sisters at their farm home near
this west-central Illinois commu

vive such an operation.
But the little lad was not to
know recovery.
His head never losl its mis
shapen appearance. He had trou
ble balancing. He could not run
and play. He was unable to at
tend school regularly. A teacher
and his brothers and sisters tu

He weighed only 50 pounds.

the other children were on a pic

His doctor, J.D. Trotter, said
malnutrition was the technical

Living Cost
Stays High
WASHINGTON (L'PH - Th
cost of living continued at a rec
ord high of 106.2 per cent during
April, the Labor Department re-;
portpd today.
twang Claguc, head of the Bu
rcau of Labor Statistics, said
food prices dropped three tenths
of one per cent but the decline
was offset by increased prices for
housing, used cars, newspapers
and clothing.
The consumer price Index was!
one per cent higher than a year!
ago. reflecting increased costs
lor food, housing and recreation.
All major typos of goods and
services except transportation
shared in the ovcr-tlfe-year ad
vance. , i
Clague said the decrease in av
erage, food prices in April
resulted largely from drops in
the prices of meats, eggs and
dairy products. The price of meat
was the lowest since 1 9"7. he said
Meat, poultry and fish prices
dipiied 2.4 per cent. Beef and
pork prices led the way with a
drop of about 3.5 per cent.
However, priees for fruits and
vegetables increased. Fresh fruits
climbed four per cent and fresh
vegetables 1.6 per cent. Clague
said this was largely a continuing!
result of frost which destroyed
southern fruit crops last winter.
