Heroic as was Bill McLeod s act, however, it pales into insignicance along side of that of Harold Rumble, the 20-year-old son of J. C. Rumble, the miller. Harold is a former B.C.I. student and well-known in Barrie. Since leaving B.C.I. he has been at- tending S.P.S. at Toronto University. After a thorough investigation of the facts surrounding the rescue of the Shortreed girl no doubt remains but what Eileen Shortreed was sub- merged in water from eight to ten minutes and that Harold Rumble performed an act of resuscitation which has excited interest, particular- ly among medical men, throughout the entire province. That he was able to do so is attributed to the fact that he holds a life-saving certicate awarded when he attended the Tuxis Boys camp at camp Kitchikewana, Beau- aoliel Island. three years ago, and that he followed up rst aid work at Hart House gymnasium, Toronto, last win- ter. -n.........1..s. 13-..]. `mun:-v. nnaao --.v-g--- -..-_ _..--__. .,_,.
