Missing Boy's Body Found In Reservoir Skin divers recovered the body of 4-year-old Leslie Hickox from a Redlands reservoir late Saturday night.

The boy, who with a playmate climbed a five-foot barbed wire-topped fence to "see the ducks," had been missing since 4 p.m. The body was recovered in 11 feet of water by diver Ronald Hastings of 611 Van Leu-ven Loraa Linda, at 11 p.m. A crew of police, reserves and volunteer citizens had been scouring orange groves in the area of Colton Ave. and Judson St. since 6:47 p.m.

when the boy's mother, Mrs. Charles Hick-ox, 1323 College had reported him missing. At about 8 p.m. it was learned from the playmate, Bryan Ziser, 6, of 1318 College that the two of them had climbed the fence but Bryan had left and gone home. The fire department and sheriff's office were called in with watersearching equipment and a call was sent out for skin divers.

Marvin Mendell of 3741 May-bell San Bernardino, who was picked up from the skin diving exhibit at the National Orange Show by a police car, was the first to contact the body at 10:45 p.m. Then Hastings recovered it. PoHce said the work of skin divers with their diving suits and aqua lungs prevented the necessity of draining the reservoir owned by the West Lu-gonia Water Co. Besides MendeH and Hastings, divers included William Parks, Kay Hulse and Wilbur Luhur, all of Loma Linda. The body was taken to Em-merson's Mortuary where an inquest and funeral arrangements are pending.

Besides the parents, the boy is survived by one brother, Dave, and one sister, Beckie. 31 Different Kinds of Salt and Pepper Shakers 85c ALOHA GIFT SHOP 921 E.
