Photograph caption dated September 28, 1949 reads "Jimmie Chulufas, his mother, and Alfred Tiltie." The article partially reads "Two-year-old Jimmie C. Chulufas is alive today because of the quick heroic action of a gasoline station attendant." Jimmy drank a cup of cleaning fluid that his mother, Virginia, left on the kitchen counter. Hearing her screams from a nearby service station, Tiltie drove the mother and son to Van Nuys Receiving Hospital.
