Blake Flournoy
doing ‘super’
after operation
Blake Flournoy, 15-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. James
“Bob” Flournoy of 312 Leola
drive, underwent his fourth
operation in less than a week
yesterday.
According to his father, Blake
is doing “super” and will not
lose a leg as first thought.
The youth was seriously in
jured last Monday when his
motorcycle wrecked in some
woods off Brentwood drive. He
was carried to Ft. McPherson
hospital where doctors said
there was a less than even
chance of saving his leg.
Now, one week later, they say
he is almost out of danger and
should be back in school in three
to four weeks.
The Flournoys praised Ricky
Toland of Brentwood drive for
helping their son. Toland lives
near the scene of the accident
and comforted the injured boy
until help arrived. He also tried
How to Pick
Sleepers in
Rare Plates
NORTHBROOK, 111 —The
director of a worldwide art ex
change in this Chicago suburb
has announced a new, easy way
to start collecting rare porce
lain plates with high resale
potential.
According to Roderick
MacArthur, director of the
Bradford Exchange, one excep
tional plate priced at $25 in
1965 now brings $1,750, and
another selling at $9.75 in 1969
now sells for $440.
Mr. MacArthur says, “Since
many plates do not increase in
value, amateurs often make
serious mistakes.” He offers a
free report on what to look for,
when to buy, what to pay and
much more. It even includes
special offers on eagerly-sought
collector plates at modest cost.
To get your free report with
no obligation, just send your
name, address, and zip code to
the Bradford Exchange, 78013
Bradford Place, Northbrook,
Illinois 60062. A postcard will
do. To be sure of receiving your
free copy, please mail your re
quest before April 23, 1976.
