LUCKY CHANCE
A scrap of paper on which was written a desperate call for aid was picked up in the street by a Johannesburg woman recently. It appears that an English girl was lying very ill in a top room of a block of flats. She was unable to call for assistance, and, taking a chance in a thousand, she scribbled her call for aid on a scrap of paper and flung it from the window. 'Hie finder sent a message to a doctor, who found the girl seriously ill. and sent her to a nursing home.
