Rodger, is a beautiful tribute*to Motherhood, and expresses the feeling of the family \vlfo mourn deeply the toss of their loved one: MOTHER The Angels have taken you home, Mother, Your kind face I no more can see; Yet it gives me comfort to know, Mother, That you are waiting in Heaven for me, I miss you at evening so badly, When I come home and find you not there: But I know you be close beside me When I kneel by my bedside in prayer, I remember the prayer that you taught me, When I laid my head down on your knee; When you brushed away all of my troubles With dear hands that have toiled so for me. My heart-aches and sickness, dear Mother, You were always so willing to share, And it helped me to know you were near me, For I knew my burdens you’d bear. You were always so kind and so gentle, And your sorrows you never have showed, May God help me do some kind deeds To reap in the harvest you. sowed. I know you’ll be happy in Heaven, For dear Daddy and Brother wait there To share hteir happy Home yonder Where there is neither sorrow nor care. So good-bye to you now, dear Mother Till the Saviour calls me home on high, When my work here on earth is finished, I’ll join you all there in the sky.

A NEW IRON LUNG A Canadian boy was the first to use the new iron lung developed to work the chest muscles and leave the limbs outside. He is Breen Hogan, aged six, of Windsor; Ontario, The boy had been so badly stricken with Infantile Paralysis that he could not expand his lungs. Members of the Windsor Isolation Hospital knew that tests' were being made in the Detroit Children's Hospital and borrowed the new device. Breen Hogan was in one of the ordinary iron lungs, which have the disadvantage of completely encas­ ing the body and are huge and cum­ bersome. He was transferred to the new emergency lung. This new device is constructed of rubber and transparent material. A perfect seal is insured by a pneumat­ ic rubber ring and by asponge-rub­ ber flap which adheres tightly even to the clothed body. A backstrap holds the lung in position and allows the patient to sit up in bed or even in a chair. Air is supplied to the emergency lung throguh an ordinary vacuum hose by an electrically driven pump. The air is compressed and decom­ pressed about sixteen times a minute — the rate of normal breathing. In this new lung, the Hogan lad. within six weeks could breathe near­ ly an hour without the aid of appar­ atus of any kind. His arms and legs could be kept in splints so that they would not become hopelessly deform- ,ed. At the time this information was released it seemed likely that the hew lung would enable the boy to rocover- partially and perhaps completely.
