Jonathon, who had under- toiR a liver transplant Feb. 3, lied Monday evening of cardiac Snest at Lebonheur Children’s Medical Center in Memphis, ffenn., said hospital spokesman John Donica. ■Funeral services were tenta tively set for 2 p.m. Thursday at the Hilltop Drive Baptist Church in Irving, a Dallas sur- Jwrta, said Sherry Jaquess, a friend of Jonathan’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Lehman. Mrs. Jaquess said an autopsy would be performed in Mem phis Tuesday to determine the exact cause of death, and the family was expected to an ive in Irving with the body Thursday morning. She said the church, where the Lehmans are members, had agreed to handle all the ar rangements and pay for the burial. Jonathon’s death came as a surprise to doctors, who had de scribed the child as “a real fighter.” Doctors said he was removed from the intensive care unit and was responding well to treat ment when he suddenly suf fered cardiac arrest and died about 4:45 p.m. “Darlene (Mrs. Lehman) took it hard initially, but she called me last night and seem to be OK, Mrs. Jaquess said. “I had talked to her at 4:30 (p.rn. Mon day) and everything was fine, at 5 p.m. (I) got a phone call and he had died. His heart just stopped and they don’t know why. “The doctors had said he was doing extremely well and maybe the family would not have to stay as long (in Mem phis) and had given them all kinds of hope. The father was supposed to go down (to Mem phis) this morning and take John’s (18-month-old) brother to visit.” Mrs. Jaquess said Mrs. Leh man traveled to Memphis with Jonothan and her husband flew over Monday night. When Jonathon, who never weighed more than 20 pounds, was just a few months old he underwent a surgical procedure that allowed bile to pass through a tube from his liver into his intestines. But that caused constant, painful itching that medication could not re lieve. Doctors in Dallas then per formed another operation that sent bile from his liver into a bag.

At least 3,750 confirmed tor nadoes were recorded statewide between 1951 and 1982, the last period for which complete in formation is yet available. During the last 30 years of re cord-keeping, there have been 35 confirmed twisters in Jan uary and 69 in February. Totals rise sharply to show 251 that have occurred during the month of March; 603 in April; 1,122 in May (an average of nearly 10 a week); 570 in June; 207 in July ; 252 in August; 277 in September and 190 in Octo ber. Lower 30-year totals occur for November (93) and Decem ber (68). Other information gathered over the years — and routinely reprinted in the Texas Almanac — indicates tornadoes are most likely to form between 4 and 8 p.m. during warm weather months, and that twisters occur most frequently in North Texas. But such storms can and will form at any time of day on any day of the year, warn Texas A&M meteorologists. The twister that struck Nor mangee was part of larger pat tern of violent weather that struck several Southern states, in keeping with unseasonably warm weather.

David E. Harris, a student at Schimeltfenig Middle School, was found dead shortly before 9 p.m. Monday with a .357 Mag num in his right hand, a police spokesman said. The medical examiner did not rule immediately on the case, but indications are the boy shot himself after telling his fa ther he was going to the bed room to take a shower, the spokesman said. The boy left no note. Gene Harris told police his son was very bright and had not mentioned being upset about anything, but Harris added the boy might have been concerned about the braces put on his teeth earlier in the day. Police said the father told them he kept the gun in a night- stand next to his bed. At least seven other teen agers from the suburb have killed themselves in the past year, resulting in nationwide publicity for the Collin County community. After the suicides of three teenagers in one week last Au gust, the Plano school district began a counseling program for youths. “We now have a program of opening the schools up in the evenings where families can come for activities and learn to improve communications skills,” said Dr. Joy Anderson, a clinical psychologist. Anderson said one possible explanation offered by experts for the rash of suicides is that teens who have recently moved with their upwardly-mobile families to Plano feel alienated. The community has grown from 19,000 to 70,000 in 15 years. m Kinko’s Copies now does TYPING 201 College Main 846-8721 Rent Your Ski Apparel If you decide not to buy you can still go sking at economy rates.
