GREENVILLE, FRIDAY, JUNE 24,1949 BOY'S FEET CUT OFF BY FREIGHT i Philadelphia Lad Given Chance to Recover. Philadelphia, June father and his two sons carried on a dramatic rescue under a moving freight train yesterday to save the life of a 12-year-old boy whose feet had been cut off by the train. The boy, Joseph Ligilisci, was pitched into a string of Pennsylvania Railroad cars as he returned home on a truck with a group of picnickers. He was hurled off as the truck hit a bump in the road. Hearing the shouts of five other boys on the back of the truck, Joseph Tomczak, 49, and his two sons, Raymond, 21, and Stephen, 24, stopped the truck to investigate.

They found the Logilisci boy under the moving cars, 200 feet behind the truck. The Tomczaks immediately climbed between the wheels of the slow-moving freight and closed in by the side of the boy, whose feet had been severed above th.e ankles. The father comforted the boy while his two sorts ripped off their belts and applied them as tourniquets to the wounded boy's legs. Meanwhile, the other youngsters on the truck kept shouting and succeeded in drawing the attention tfr railroaders, who brought the freight to a halt. The Ligilisci boy, while in serious condition, is given a good chance to recover in Methodist Hospital.

The action of the Tomczaks, physicians said, had prevented any undue loss of blood. J. A. CAKKLNGEK KOWE Optometrist 313 Main St. Tel 314 9 1 p.
