SCHOOLBOYS DEATH
WHEN WATCHING TREE FELLING. CATAPULTED OVER HOUSETOP. (Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 12.12 p.m.) London, April 8. Two hundred Carshalton School children were watching tree-felling when an 11-year-old lad, Stanley Parish, became entangled as the guide rope tightened with the fall of a tree and was catapulted 150 yards over the housetops into the rear of a garden; He died on the way to hospital. The speed of his flight turned the lad's jacket inside out. His mother saw the tragedy, but did not realise the identity of the victim. Two other boys were thrown some distance, but were not seriously injured.
