Ambucs Award Three Scholarships
A Lititz RD2 youth is home
after a miraculous recovery
from a fall in downtown Lititz
last week.
Robert L. Derr Jr, Brubaker
Valley Road, fell 22 to 24 feet
from a ladder while working on
the Butcher Barber Shop at
about 8 a.m. last Thursday. At.
first, it was believed he was
seriously injured, but Derr re­turned
home from Lancaster
General Hospital Tuesday and
now he’s looking forward to re­turning
to school and wrestling.
Derr, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Robert L. Derr, will be a senior
at West Chester State College
when school resumes Septem­ber
8. He’s hoping that he’ll be
back in condition when wre.it-ling
starts September 15.
Noting that he needs the
money, he said he plans to paint
again beginning next week, but
wants to rest the remainder of
this week. He has worked for
the past seven summers for
Allen H. Atkinson, Lititz paint­ing
contractor.
He wrestles in the 126 pound
class and last year had a 9 and 4
record in dual meets. Derr
noted that his doctors told him
that his excellent physical con­dition
probably saved him from
critical injury and possibly
death from the fall.
It was shortly after stalling
work last Thursday while clean­ing
weather board and spouting
from an extension ladder about

that young Derr “hit my crazy
bone on the ladder.’’ He recalls
getting dizzy and blacking out.
Then he was lying on his back
looking up at Lititz Patrolman
Leroy Emmerich.
He was then taken to the hos­pital
by ambulance. Conscious
all the time, he experienced in­tense
pain in the head and in
the neck. He had cuts on his
right side and it took seven
stitches to heal a wound in the
head.
At first it was believed that
Derr had experienced severe
spinal injuries, but X-rays since
then have indicated no perman­ent
or serious damage, he said.
In falling, according to local
reports, he apparently hit the
ladder and window ledges, help­ing
to break his fall. Derr also
thinks that blacking out. put
him in a relaxed position and
may have helped save him
from serious injury.
Now he’s looking forward to
getting back to school, and
wrestling. Ami his October 16

an unexpected typhoon hits, all
havoc reigned.
Such a situation occurred al

The purpose of the Jamboree
was to promote friendship

“The grass helped keep the
dust down,” Bob remarked. “Af­ter
all the rain, we didn’t have
to worry about dust.”
The night before the typhoon
hit, according to Bob. 1.000 US
scouts had started to hike up
Mt. Fuji. Some of the hikers
had to be evacuated because of
injuries.
When the impact of the vio­lent
