Rebuilding A Human Body The 7-year-old Canadian boy was a pitiable sight. Born with a severe facial defect, he had a deep depression in his left cheek where the temple and jawbone normally meet. His left ear was missing, his tooth alignment distorted, and many teeth had failed to erupt. To hide his disfigurement, the child's parents let his hair grow in a shoulder-length bob, giving him an unnatural feminine appearance. "He was a frightened, withdrawn youngster, unable to chew properly, masquerading as a girl, and not attending school," Dr. Martin A. Entin, a Montreal surgeon, told members of the American Society for Plastic and Reconstructive. Surgery at a meeting in San Francisco recently. X-rays taken at the Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children in Montreal showed that part of the boy's jawbone had failed to develop past the fetal stage. As a temporary substitute, Dr. Entin made a >."raft from a bone bank and supplied the child with upper and lower dentures. At the age of 14, when the right side of the young patient's lower jaw was fully grown and his permanent teeth were in. Dr. Entin made a permanent bone graft for the lower left jaw. For his material, he used a bone of the boy's foot and the joint connecting it to the little toe. The toe bone was firmly anchored by stainless-steel wires to the boy's skull, while the foot bone was joined to the lower left jaw. Three months later, Dr. Entin reported, the transplanted foot bones, fashioned into a jaw, appeared to be working normally. The bone graft had filled out the facial depression; the boy could open his mouth wide, and his dental "bite" was satisfactory. Future plastic surgery will make his foot as good as new. But even now, the boy has overcome most of his psychological difficulties. In the field of adult plastic surgery, there was important progress in reconstruction of injured hands. Dr. Julian M. Bruner, a Des Moines, Iowa, surgeon, reported specifically on accidents to hands of fanners who try to remove corn stalks or other obstructions from the moving rollers of the mechanical corn-picking machines. He cited the case of one farmer who lost four fingers of his right hand in such an accident,1" and underwent seven operations in the Veterans Hospital, Des Moines, to save his hand. The patient, who has full motion in the reconstructed fingers, now works for a chemical concern, can run a tractor, and handle heavy bags of chemicals. --From Newsweek.

CULLEN NEA Staff Correspondent Jodrell Bank, England -- (NEA)--The Russian Sputniks are murdering the sleep of this peaceful Cheshire countryside, 30 miles from the grimy city of Manchester and noted f or its cheese. Or rather, to be more accurate, the $2,500,000 Jodrell Bank telescope, the largest steerable radio-telescope in the world, is what's destroying the peace and quiet of this pastureland. Dairy farmers can't sleep at night, their dreams being broken by eerie, other-worldly noises that seem to come fronj the bowels of this red clay soil. "It's like subway trdirrs tearing along under the earth," one farmer told me. Another de-cribed the sounds as the "high-pitched screams of a thousand demons being put to torture." Even the cows are behaving queerly, I was told. The butter content of their milk has gone off, or so the farmers believe. What the Cheshire farmers hear these frosty winter nights are neither banshees nor subways, but the motors of the Jodrell Bank telescope as it turns and tilts in the night following the Russian satellites in their orbits. Tracking satellites is child's play, relatively speaking, for the are on Jodrell Bank at this mo- Already, the giant telescope has given one spectacular demonstration of its capabilities. In response to a frantic Russian request to locate the wayward rocket that is chasing Sputnik I, the telescope reached out and plucked the rocket 1,000 miles away as it hurtled over the Arctic Circle. It took the telescope just six hours to locate the lost rocket. Impressed with this performance, Russian scientists now telegraph daily . forecasts of Sputnik II's position to the experimental station at Jodrell Bank. As the<U.S. launches.its satellites "into outer space, the telescope will become increasingly important. Already, it is furnishing . data on the Russian satellites to the Smithsonian Institution and to the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. First impression of the Jodrell Bank telescope, as viewed from a taxi two miles away, is that of a gigantic Cyclop eye turned toward the heavens. Only, this is an eye that hears, rather than sees, one that is capable of sending radio impulses to the stars, the sun and to distant nebulae. To get an idea of its size, the telescope's reflector is 15 times bigger than the 200-inch mirror of the Mount Palomar telescope CYCLOPS EYE IN COYV FIELD: For this giant telescope at Jodrell Bank, England, tracking satellites is child's play. giant telescope with its 250-foot reflector. It is in the coming weeks, with Sputnik II's radio batteries dead and the fantastic circus circles even closer to the earth, that the Jodrell Bank telescope will come into its own. For now it is the only known instrument capable of tracking the Russian playthings with radar. The telescope will sit in on the death of the satellites, which is expected to take place early in December. It will listen to the death rattle, record the last convulsions of the two Sputniks-as they re-enter the earth's atmosphere. Will the satellies explode, due to the heat and friction of earth's atmosphere? Will they disintegrate, scattering showers of meteorites as brilliant as a comet's tail? Or will they return to earth more-or-less intact? In supplying answers to these questions, the Jodrell Bank telescope will determine whether the Russians have an inter-continental ballistic missile that is capable of returning to earth to discharge its deadly atomic load. That is why all eyes--including those of Russian scientists-- in California. The reflecting dish is, in fact, big enough to seat 10,000 people (whether comfortably or with knees up to their chins, one is not told). This dish, which weighs 800 tons, is suspended between two towers that are taller than Nelson's Column in London's Trafalgar Square (185 feet). But the marvel, which weighs 2,000 tons all told, moves with the delicacy and precision of the sweep-hand of a watch when it is tilted to scan the sky or follow a star in it's course. The reflecting dish is completely steerable. It can be pointed in any direction, including upside down (when this happens for the first time the ground beneath is likely to be showered with paint brushes, loose rivets, and debris left by the workmen). At full speed the telescope can swing around the compass in 18 minutes and the dish can loop-the-loop in 15 minutes flat. Once the telescope has sighted its object, electronic computers do all the calculations required to keep it on its target, as it performs its weird rock'n' roll. .(To Be Concluded Next Week) TAKING THEM FOR A RIDE-Pleasure trips in this 1939 hearse offered by Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity at Williams College.

Fur Coat Saves Drowning Person The world was thrilled recently by the miraculous escape of Second Officer Douglas War-drop of the 10,000-ton Glasgow motor ship, British Monarch. Falling overboard into the Pacific Ocean, and not missed until nearly four hours later, he went on swimming entirely unsupported for nine hours with a turtle keeping him company and an electric eel, which kept giving him shocks, before his ship, having turned about and raced back over 100 miles, rescued him. Much more amazing, though, after being hurled into the water, was the escape of Mrs. Margaret Gwyer, a survivor of the ill-fated Lusitania which a German U-boat sent to the bottom in May, 1915, with the loss of 1,200 lives. Margaret Gwyer, three weeks married, was on her honeymoon cruise off Ireland with her clergyman husband. Her first shock, after the torpedo's thunderous explosion, came when a wave threw her out of the lifeboat into which she had clam-Then, as the vessel heeled over, with its wreckage engulfing her, she found herself to her horror sucked into one of the Lusitania's four giant funnels. The ship then went down. Suddenly there was a shattering explosion and hundreds were killed. But Mrs. Gwyer was blown clean out of the funnel, as if shot from a fairground cannon. Though much bruised, she hit the sea without suffering any broken bones and was hauled into a rescue boat. Similarly, when in April, 1912, after striking an iceberg three hours earlier, the Titanic went down, many survivors cheated death very narrowly. One, a Yorkshire Justice of the Peace, A. H. Barkworth, probably owed his life to his fur coat. He wore it over his lifebelt, and by this novel arrangement, gained extra buoyancy when tossed about in the icy sea. Later, he was able to climb into a lifeboat. On the afternoon of June 22, 1893, Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon, K.C.B., exercising his fleet in the Mediterranean, gave a faulty signal. It led to his two lines of battleships turning inwards to reverse direction, when there was not sufficient room for such a manoeuvre. . His flagship, the Victoria, crashed into the Camperdown, which was leading the parallel column of battleships. The Victoria plunged to her doom, taking with her the Admiral, twenty-two officers and 336 men. But one young officer, marked for fame, escaped. Commander John Jellicoe had been lying in his bunk suffering from malaria. As the ship crumpled under the terrific impact, he staggered up on deck, and dropped over the side. A few seconds later the ship disappeared. Struggling hard, Jellicoe managed to keep afloat just long enough to be rescued. His rescue meant much for Britain's future naval prestige and safety. For twenty years later, as Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, he defeated the Kaiser's warships at Jutland. Last autumn, an Aberdeen trawler deckhand, forty-three-year-old John Craig, had unbelievable luck after being washed overboard. The huge wave which carried him away knocked him unconsc.'ous. But while he was insensible another wave swept him back on board. The force of this, by a freak of fortune, wedged him securely beneath a lifeboat. And there he lay, hidden and unconscious. His skipper, meanwhile, believing him lost, radioed the nearest coastal station. The Peterhead lifeboat, answering this SOS, circled until dusk in the angry waters round the spot where he had disappeared, but no body was sighted. Craig's wife was Informed. But imagine her delirious joy when the missing man walked into her cottage, having revived in the boat. His reappearance surprised everyone. "Why, it's ,yon Jamie's ghost that be walk-in' here!" cried one of his shipmates, astounded to see him in the flesh again. When, in 1868, the French steamer, Ville du Havre, went -down in mid-Atlantic with 200 victims, one of the eighty-seven survivors, Mary Bulkley, felt all she wanted to do was to follow* her little daughter, Helen, who had drowned. In vain, Mrs. Bulkley clutched the child's clothes, but the sea's force tore them from her. Then a stout piece of iron chain hit her. She clung to it instinctively, found it came from a capsized boat, and then the boat itself broke in two. Almost immediately afterwards she was hit in the chest by a floating beam. Clinging desperately to it, she stayed afloat. She had drifted more than a mile from the wreckage when a rescue boat fished her out.
