WORLD’S STRONGEST BOY.
(Special to the ” Star.”) LONDON. March 1. ! A man who was described as the j father of the world’s strongest boy ap- j peared before the Wokingham District Council to explain why he had not complied with an order to obtain better housing accommodation for his family. The man, an unemployed hairdresser, was said to be living with his wife and six children in a shed. He told the council that his only chance of getting better accommodation was for his fourteen-year-old son to take up work at a circus as the “ world’s strongest boy ” at a weekly salary of £2O. A contract had been arranged, but the boy could not leave school. The chairman advised the father to get in touch with the education authorities to see if the boy could be released from school and adjourned the matter for a month.
