60 Policemen Offer Blood In Vain Effort To Save Boy
By: Helen Waterhouse
THE "BOYS" at the police station rallied to the aid of a youngster they all 
loved last night, James Nolan, 11, son of Patrolman Frank Nolan, 45 Hurlburt 
av., but they couldn't save the lad with the happy smile who had always been 
the pal of his policeman father.

James died just before 7 p.m. at Children's hospital following a mastoid 
operation. No one had realized the seriousness of his condition until the very 
end when more than 60 of the beat men, traffic officers and detectives crowded 
to the instituation to volunteer their blood for a transfusion.

Only the blood of a few was found to match. Detective Arthur Adams and Ex-
Patrolman Frank Maring who is on pension, and his son Frank, jr., were among 
those who contributed.

The Crosby school student had been ill only two weeks with what at first 
appeared to be simply a cold. He was taken to the hopital several days ago for 
the operation and lived 24 hours after it was performed.

Two of the lad's older brothers, Corp. Bob Nolan, and Pvt. Gaylord Nolan are en 
route home from army camps in Virginia and North Carolina today. Funeral 
arrangements will be made after they arrive.

James also leaves two other brothers, Frank, Jr., of Cuyahoga Falls, and 
Willis "Bill", 16 at home; a stepmother and two sisters, Claire, 14, at home 
and Mrs.Ray Murphy (Winifred) of Cuyahoga Falls.
