RV ROBERT COTTER Free Prei Staff Writer Denis Angelow is determined to be just an average kid. When you're 15. being average means playing football, basketball and baseball. But in the case of Denis, of 14115 Mi nock. Redford Township, these average activities have come to a sudden halt.

DENIS PLAYED his last bqsebsll game July p. He was the star catcher for the Red-ford Township Raiders in the Intercommunity Colt Leagup. When an opposing player rounds third to score the tie-breaking run it's the catcher's job to protect the plate. Denis did his job well. There was a collision and the runner was out.

Denis wound up in William Beaumont Hospital with a ruptured artery on the left side of his head. Doctors, after a four-hour emergency operation, gave him no more than 24 hours to live. For five weeks he lay in the hospital in a coma. When i he finally awoke he was to tally paralyzed. HIS PARENTS, Boris.

Thundershowers broke out in the warm moist air across the Gulf States and in widely scattered sections of the Atlantic States. Some thunderstorms were locally severe and accompanied by heavy rain and gusty winds. Heavy thunderstorms were reported at Albany, New York, this afternoon with electric power reported out in some sections.

Strong southerly winds were also noted throughout most the southern plains region todav. Elsewhere over the country a cold front is now moving across the upper Mississippi Valley and extends southward throuph Iowa into Kansas. The cold air mass following this front has produced very cool temperatures across the northern and central Rockies today and snow has been observed at higher elevations in Rocky Mountain regions over Colorado and also in extreme northwest section of North Dakota. The hot humid weather now covering the eastern third of the nation will continue through the weekend. Scattered thundershower activity wjH hi? present in the warm humid air and thunder-Showers will develop again tomorrow.

He called Mom and spent 10 minutes on an alphabet board that his father made for him. He pointed to the letters on the board and Mrs. Angelow along with him. "I'll be all riffht," he pointed. "Don't worry." The Angelows aren't worried about Denis now.

Angelow knows that everything will be all right if he himself can only get back to work. Wounded in World War II, Angelow couldn't return to his factory job at the Ford Motor Co. when he got out of the army. He went to the Veterans Administration, took a course and got a job as a bookbinder. He found work and everything was going well until October, when he was laid off.

Since then he's received $49 weekly from unemployment compensation. But that ran out last week. a Day! 3Iich. Temperatures (U.S. Weather Bureau) Pre.
