YOUTH RECOVERING FROM BROKEN SPINE Injured 102 Days Ago By Fall Is Able To Sit Up Today Toronto, July 3.--Months of pain and suffering have failed to quell the cheery faith of a .19- year-old boy that some day he will leave a hospital bed and take his place in the working world once more. He is Lloyd Goobie, a native of Newfoundand, who exactly 102 days ago broke his spine in a fall at a construction job in the ecit:. Since March 22, the day of the accident, Goobie has lain on his stomach, unable to do anything but move his legs and hands. Com- pletely paralyzed when admitted to the Western hospital, the young man kept but a slender hold on life for many days, but the best of surgical care and attention brought him back from the brink of death, Today is to be a red letter day in the semi-private ward in which Goobie lies with two other - in- mates. For the first time since his admittance to hospital, Lloyd is to sit up in bed encased in a plaster cast to strengthen the broken spine. From a horizontal position he will assume a perpen- dicular posture. Lloyd Goobie has undergone an ordeal which few persons live through. Flat on his stomach for 102 days, he has spent sleepless nights, racked by pain, but throughout it all he has maintain- ed a high courage which has ex- cited the admiration of his room- mates and the hospital attendants, His spine was broken into several fragments and doctors joined the pieces together with silver wire. Suffering became a familiar bed- mate to Goobie, but his optimistic philosophy was an antidote to pain. Yesterday afternoon he lay in a sun-filled room, smoking a cigar- ette, his one indulgence, Stretch- ed out on his stomach, with his head resting on one arm, he spoke cheerfully. "I'm feetling fine," he declared, moving his legs and wriggling his toes to prove his as- sertion 'I don't remember much about the accident. I was helping to move some timber with another fellow. T put my end down and I guess I fell then. TI must have fallen about 14 feet." Agar, Kleinburg; secretary-treas- urer, William R. Agar, Brooklin.
