Junior high school girl burned Tuesday Workers in charge of the annual “MAD day” chicken barbecue at Milford will have to make other plans for dumping hot coals next year, it would appear. This year the coals were dumped near the back of the Milford junior high school, where the barbecue was held, and a Milford junior high school student, Julie Garza, 13, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Garza, was burned when leaving the gym via the back door for physical education classes on Tuesday. When she stepped on the coals the young girl's tennis shoes were melted and her socks burned, leaving numerous blisters on her feet, according to a statement made this morning by Mr. Garza. The concerned father hopes the coals will be dumped elsewhere in the future to save others from perhaps even more serious burns.
