DORSET QUARRY, a favorite swimming place for local youngsters, was the scene of a fatal accident yesterday. Fall From Tree in Quarry Proves Fatal to Dorset Boy DORSET Glenn D. Baker, 13- year-old son of Mr. anfl Mrs. David Baker of Dorset, was killed yesterday afternoon at 2:10 when he was impaled on a steel stake after having fallen from a tree.

According to State Trooper Cpl. Gordon Mooney, Baker had been swimming in the afternoon at the Dorset Quarry on Vermont 30 prior to climbing a large while birch tree at the edge of the quarry. After climbing to a height of approximately 20 feet, he lost his balance, held on to a branch for several seconds, before tumbling to the ground, where he was impaled on a metal spike which was left from old quarrying days. The stake pierced deep into the boy's chest and punctured his lung. Beriah Wall, 15, and Harold Cross, 18, both of Manchester, who were also swimming in the quarry, administered first aid and artificial respiration.

Joe King, an employe of Harold Snow's Garage, which is adjacent to the quarry, came over and applied an airtight bandage to the boy's chest to prevent air from entering the chest cavity. King, an auxiliary policeman, had recently com pleted a first aid course. Dr. Elizabeth Byrnes of Dorset arrived shortly after the accident and pronounced the boy dead. She then notified Dr.

Frank Harrigan, regional medical examiner. Cpl. Mooney was also called to the scene and directed proceedings after his arrival. State's Atty. John A.

Burgess of Bennington came to give permission for the removal of the body to the Brewster's Funeral Home in Manchester. The Mountain Towns Carlo WoTter Tel. HO 4-3993 SEARSBURG Mr. and Mrs. William Soroka and their sons, Ronny and Billy of Meriden, were entertain ed by Mr.

Sherman Herrington and Mother Grouse Exhibits Love For Offspring By CARLO WOLTER Motherly instinct to protect her ic implanted in almost all iving creatures, skin-clad, furred or feathered. With human be- ngs, it is largely taken for granted. And it can often be imong domestic animals. But it seldom observed in the wild animal world. Recently, however, a mother ruffled grouse demonstrated quite openly that she, too, was bestowed with parental love.

For several minutes she ran in short paces up and down alongside the road waiting for a lull in traffic. Then she ran across the road and resumed her short-strided up and down. Whe she assured herself no. car was in sight, she clucked softly to her chicks. A tiny head appeared in the grass.

Carefully the toy sized chick came out and quickly ran across to mama. Another one fol- owed; and another, like school children following their teacher until all nine were safely on the other side. Bathing In Dust Then mother grouse led brood into our garden whre she taught them how to bath in dust She turned on her back, wings flapping, feet kicking, while her chicks waitched in wonderment Presently one of them copied her, and then another, and another, until 20 legs tread the air, and 10 pairs of wings swept dust in a tawny cloud. Suddenly mother grouse stopped and ran cackling under a rhubarb bush, where she stood with wings spread wide. 'It was funny to watch all her children herd under them, as she protectingly folded her wings like a tent.

And there she sat, all 10 of them, while a red-tailed hawk soared overhead. As soon as he sailed grouse family took another quick dip and disappeared into woods. Every morning they returned, until one day when I fertilized the garden. When they arrived that morning, they took one whiff, squawked complainingly, and took to the woods.
