FIRECRACKERS EXPLODED
IN BOY'S POCKET.
While Ralph Dodson, 10 years old, was walking in Elm Ridge park yesterday morning, planning how to have the most fun out of a pocketful of firecrackers and matches, the matches and crackers got together. Ralph was seriously burned on the hip and leg. His trousers were ruined. His brother, Bruce Dodson, Jr., 12 years old, had both hands burned in extinguishing the blaze. The boys are sons of Bruce Dodson, of 3731 Main street.
