(Lucy R. Woods) It's surprising how news travels! Prior to 1961, when Lucy subscribed to a Toronto daily newspaper, she was thrilled to read on outstanding occasions of the skillful surgery of Dr. William T. Mustard. As most .people in this district know, this distinguished surgeon is a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thornton Mustard (natives of Brucefield and Clinton), Toronto, and as a boy spent summers at the family cottage here. Recently a friend, who received a newspaper clipping from a friend of hers in Detroit passed it on to Lucy. She found it so interesting that she gives you, the read- ers, the complete report by John Gill in the Detroit News: "2nd Step Surgery Helps Blue Babies Grow Up" An apparent breakthrough in surgery on "blue babies" was described yesterday at a clinic for doctors at Detroit's Children's Hospital. Dr. William T. 'Mustard, of Toronto, and Dr. Milton H. Paul, of Chicago, described a surgical technique that is saving lives of children formerly doomed to death. Dr. Mustard, chief of cardio-vascular surgery at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, has used the technique on seven children in the past year. Two died but five are doing well, he said. "We expect to do better, much better," he added. The children all suffered from transpogition of the great vessels to the heart. This affliction is fatal Within a year after birth 90 per- cent of the time, unless something is done, according to Dr. Paul, director of cardiology at The Children's Memorial Hospital, Chicago: Dr. Paul Said that about a quarter of all blue babies suffer from this condition, Where the two great arteries that connect the heart to the lungs and body are reversed, so that each does the other's job. The result is a blue baby because of insufficient oxygen in the blood. A surgical process perfected in 1950 by Dr. Alfred Blalock and Dr. Rollins Hanlon, which can be performed on infants three months or younger, long has offered temporary relief. But the children usually died after about three years of life. "Many doctors hesitated to performe a Blalock-Hanson," said Dr. Mustard. "The trouble was the child would live only long enough to develop , a . little personality, then it would die." The surgery which Dr. Mustard and other doctors are performing has reached the "'threshold" of a breakthrough as a second step after the Blalock-Hanlon operation has given infants time to develop enough so that major surgery can be performed. What makes doctors optimistic is that the secondary surgery holds out hopes for a complete recovery. Dr. Mustard described one of his firgt patients to undergo both operations at the hospital in Toronto. The patient, an orphan girl, was brought to him when only 19 days old. She was a very blue baby and dying, he said. Dr. Mustard performed a preliminary Blalock- Hanlon. When the child was two years old he operated again and repaired the heart by switching the great vessels so that they now dO the job nature intended. That Was a year ago. "As far as we can tell, she now is a normal child with no restrictions ton her activities," said Dr .Mustard. "In fact she is being put up for adbption," Attention Farmers For your Petroleum Needs for the coming season drop in and see us about our FARM CREDIT PLAN and PRICES ALSO . . .

Council A \meeting .of Huron District Counbil was held in the Domin- ion Hotel, Zurich on Thursday, April 16 under the Chairman ship of president Duff Thomp- son, Clinton. Fifty-eight leaders and com- mitteemen were present. Guest speaker was Don Rennie, Han- over, District Executive. The principal• business of the, evening was the selection of a leader for recommendation to the Provincial Council as Dist- rict Commissioner, due to the resignation of Doug Harrison, Exeter. By popular acclaim the name of Jack Gallant, Bayfield, was chosen for submission. Bayfield has a special inter- est in District Scouting activ- ities. (mentioned separately) as it has three members holding district offices; namely, Jack Gallant, assistant District Com- missioner and recommended for the post of District Commis- sioner; Howard Scotchmer, secretary- treasurer to Huron District Scouters Club; and George Bellchamber, secretary-treasur- er to Huron District Council. Others attending , the spring dinner meeting were Charles Dungey, Bayfield Scoutmaster, and group committee repre- sentatives Merton Merner and Brigadier F. A. Clift. Mr. Merner is of course well known for several years' de- voted service to the Bayfield group both as group committee- man and as Scout Leader, and Brigadier Clift was well known to the Scouting movement be- fore coming to Bayfield from London where he held office on 'the London District Council. ust, 1918. He was invalided home in the summer. of 1919, minus two fingers on the .left hand. On October 29, 1919, he was married to Miss Pearl Orr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ro- bert Orr, also of the Sauble Line, They made their home on the Matthew Westlake farm, which Walter operated until the spring of 1923, before sel- ling to A. E. Baechler & Co., Goderich. He bought their present home on Louisa Street from Wilson Eagleson and rented MacKay's garage for a year. In 1924 he bought a lot on Clan Gregor Square from Wil- liam Dixon and built his own garage. In 1927 he built the Blue Water Booth to the south of the garage which Mrs. West- lake operated until 1950. In 1951 Walter Westlake ac- quired an extra lot from John MacKenzie, tore down his old garage and^ built a new one. It was he who fostered the picnic tables on Clan Gregor Square. So many people bought food, soft drinks or a pot of tea at the Blue Water Booth and took it to their cars, that Walter built one picnic table for the convenience of their patrons, and put it under the maples on the park opposite the booth. It was appreciated so much that next year he added three more tables. And they were invariably filled around meal- time on a fine day in the sum- mer. After about four years, the Village trustees got the idea of a service to visitors and placed them around the square, built swings, etc., for the child- ren. Walter Westlake has been the efficient chief of the Bay- field Fire Department, a volun- teer organization, since it was formed in 1947, and has also contributed greatly to the me- chanical operation of the ve- hicles. For two years he has thought of selling, as the pressure of work Mounted. Asked what he intended to do, he replied in his usual jocu- lar manner: "Selling will put me on Easy Street, I"s just going to sit and watch the po- tatoes grow!" And as an afterthought, .he said, "There'll be plenty to do around the garden to keep me occupied." Actually, he is looking for- ward to freedom from respon- sibility, to be able to pick up and go to visit their sons in British ,Columbia, or take other trips as the spirit moves them. Mr. and Mrs. Walter •West- lake have three sons and two daughters: William, superin- tendent A. C. McEachern & Co., contractors, Burnaby, B.C.; Lloyd, a Corporal with the On- tario Provincial Police detach- ment at Kitchener; Garfield, with Tobins Company (logging) Gold River, Vancouver Island, B.C.; Lorna (Mrs. Merton Mer- ner), and Gloria (Mrs. Beverly McClinchey), Bayfield. ,Their first-born, Lorne, and fifth child, Arnold, died in in- fancy, Mrs. R.
