BOY'S SAD FATE
TREE-FELLING FATALITY CATAPULTED 150 YARDS LONDON, April 8 Two hundred children from Carshalton, a town in Surrey, near Croydon, were watching* tree-felling operations when an 11-year-old lad, Stanley Parish, became entangled as the guiderope tightened with the fall of a tree, and was catapulted 150 yards over the tops of houses into the rear of a garden. He died on the way to hospital. The speed of the 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.
