Respirator Center, where he has been a polio patient for 28 months. Dicky will go home Friday, altho he still must use a chest respirator. Here, with Nurse Margaret Phillips, Dicky holds a football autographed by the Mich. football team. His morale was bolstered by attendance at the Mich.-Cornell game this fall.

Pearl Two--The question is: which is the real La Peregrina, the huge pear-shaped pearl discovered in the 16th century and supposedly first owned by Philip II of Spain. New York’s Parke-Bernet Galleries have a pearl, left, which they say is the authentic one and which goes on the auction block today. However, in Switzerland the Duke of Alba, chamberlain to Victoria-Eugenia, former queen of Spain, says the former monarch has a pearl, right, locked in a safe-deposit box which is the real gem.
