Sent Oarber of New Yojfk report to the Journal of the American Medical association. In an article entitled "The Bone Bank." the two doctors say that "if foods, serums and other perishable substances could be kept in a low temperature fi ezing cabinet, we decided that perhap3 this method could j be used to preserve bone so that a , constant supply would be available , •t all times." • Experiments were undertaken and ft was found that human bone can be preserved apparently indefinitely In ! a freezer at minus 20 to 30 centl- j ,f*»de. ' "Spinal fusions " for scoliosis (abnormal curvature of the backbone) land disorders in the lower part of . the back, the filling of large bone cysts and the replacement of defects in bone are a few of the common problems in which large quantities of bone are necessary," the doctorsp6int out in their article.

Two new weather stations to be set up by Canadian and U.

One of the many land fragments reaching beyond Canada's mainland, Ellef Ringnes, the nearest of the islands, is about 2,650 airline miles northwest t»f New York City. Looking across the Arctic short cut toward Siberia and the northern coast of Europe, this island is 2,700 miles from Leningrad, 2,900 miles from London. Prince Patrick and Ellef Ringnes are part of Canada's vast mainland and island region known as the Northwest Territories. Stretching northwest of Hudson bay, this part of the world once was discounted as inaccessible and lacking in natural wealth. 1 Today, it is taking on increasing significance* as a result of the discovery of its potentially rich mineral resources and the far-reaching global developments of air transport.

Canning Tips for Housewife . Commercial jars,, such as coffee, peanut butter and pickle jars, are not recommended for canning when a steam pressure canner is used. Such jars are not made strong enough to stand high pressure. Another tip is to remove screw bands that have a glass or metal disk underneath to prevent rusting. Remove bands after jars have cooled to room temperature. Warm water run on top will help remove sticky syrup and release band. Never open jar to replace lost liquid. Replacing liquid may cause an accident or lead to spoilage. •i - Yellowstone Ice Yellowstone lake, in Yellowstone park, freezes to a depth sufficient to 180 million tons ^ I&, » enough to furnish every man, woman and child in the United States with one and one-half tons.

"The boys love themshe explained. "J " "The boys?" "Soldiers," she said. "Boys from the hospital. Life cases." "But --bread and peanuts?" "Oh, those," she said laughing. "Those are for the ducks and the elephants. They feed them, at the zoo." That was all I heard then. The rest I got at the hospital itself, from the superintendent of nurses. "Little Mrs. Brown," she said. "Yes, she is very faithful. There ought to be a hundred like her. But she is the only one. "She is the only one," the niflrse went on, "who comes regularly and takes our boys driving. She takes them where they want to go, to see the sights from the mountain, or out to the zoo and the lake. If they want to see a special show, she takes them there.

"I don't nave to tell you," said nurse Williams, "that the authorities and the Re<J Cross <J? everything they can. But that is impersonal, of course. A boy is taken to the dentist, or a block of opera or concert tickets are carefully distributed. Magazines are sent in, Christmas.is well-remembered. But all that is impersonal, and you don't know how these boys hunger for personal contacts. Why, Mrs. Browir tells me that sometimes they are all chattering together, like children. Happier In Hospitals. "You see, lots of our boys are so maimed or so disfigured that they don't want to go home. The contrast between what they were--young and strong and happy, just a few years ago--and what they are now--blind, lame, painful to look upon--is too much for them. They come back to the hospital on some pretext, another operation, more Jtreatig^nts: they are Happier fieTe. But tney long ids who nevec knew friends who will take them as thev f»rev - "We have one boy ne?e who often is asked to one of the humblest homes of the city for a Sunday dinner. A humble home, yes, but with a mother and father and boys and girls in it. They make him one of them for just a few happy hours every week, he knows they like him. .The first time he went he came back breathless. 'They let me hold the baby while they did the dishes,' he said, over and over. Everyone in the hospital knew thaf these good plain people trusted him, and that i the baby wasn't frightened by the : poor patched face." 1 After our talk, Mrs. Williams let : me look into a ward. But I couldn't Stand that long. It wasn't that the boys were dreadful or frightening, nothing like that. It was that they were so normal, just lonely boys amusing themselves with old magazines, games afil! the radio. Thin SMALL FAVORS While veterans in government hospitals receive excellent medi~ jcal care, good food and clothing, they have other needs that no in• stitution can provide. This is a chance to enjoy normal human contacts--trips to the movies and parks, dinners in happy homes. It is up to the people living within reach of these hospitals to do what they can to make the lot of these heroic young men easier, says Miss Norris. In a recent visit to a mid western city she met a woman who was doing her part. This young matron goes regularly to the hospital, takes the men out in her car for long drives to parks, zoos, nearby lakes and mountains. But she is the only one that comes, the head nurse told Miss Norris. Nearly every woman could do something for these men who have lost so much, continues Miss Norris. They appreciate small favors, little pleasures that almost anyone can provide. An invitation to dinner on a holiday, a ticket to a play or concert, a chance to pat' ticipate in a family gathering, will relieve the monotony of their lives. It is not all one way, either, concludes Miss Norris. There is a rich satisfaction in conferring small favors on these homeless veterans.

It kills most broadleafed plants and is not injurious to most members of tM grass family, when properly used.
