At Wingham
In a heroic effort to save
boy from drowning, a .girj from
the Wingham district lost her
life on Sunday—but her efforts
paved the way foi' the rescue of
the lad from swirling water an
hour later.
Lois Dawson, daughter of Mr,
and Mrs. Phillip Dawson of East
Wawanosh, was drowned and
Billie Reavie, son of Mr. and
Mrs, Rutherford Reavie, also of
East Wawanosh, is in Wingham
General Hospital recovering
from the effects of exposure and
shock,
The Dawson girl, 14, a first-
yeai’ student in Wingham High
School, went to the aid of young
Reavie, who in attempting to
save a pet dog from water some
200 feet from land, b r o k e
through thin ice,
The ice gave away and the
Dawson girl also plunged into
frigid water to her armpits.
However, she managed to hoist
the Reavie boy high enough so
he could .grasp branches of a
small overhanging willow. With

Lois, Billie and his brother,
six-year-old Gary Reavie, set out
across fields with two dogs to

11:00 a.m. Sunday. Swollen by
recent January rains, the >bog is
deeper than is normal at this
time of year. A creek, also runs
in this vicinity.
One of the dogs ventured out
on thin ice and broke through.
Billie set out to retrieve the
animal, and when he also fell
in, Lois made a valiant attempt
at rescue which resulted in her
tragic death. xTke children managed to save" the dog from the
water and the animal escaped
together with the second pet
which also fell in some minutes
later and reached land without
