Receives second kidney transplont

The apparent, sliceeSS of re-

more can be done to treat kidney
defects and diseases, accord-
ing to Pr, C. R. $tilleri who
handles. tranaplant arrangements
at Victoria Hoapitai.
At one time, the first trans,
pleat was considered the last,
he said. Now, if the first tralls.r,
pleat fails and the kidney is re-
jected, it can be removed and
the patiegt placed on dialysis
until another donor is available.
Presumably, •second, third and
even fourth transplant operations
are likely under this method.

life's new meaning.
"It's a wonderful feeling, How
do you explain it to everyone?
It's just a wonderful feeling."
Mrs. Arthur, 46, is a medical
curiosity, the first person in
Ontario to receive two trans-
plants. She and her fellow re-
Peatera in other parts of Canada
and the U.S. are being viewed
with interest by medical men
who see repeat transplants as
new hope for sufferers of kid-
ney diseases.
In Mrs. Arthur's case, a trans-
plant was done last November
when she was given the kidney
of a man who died of a brain
hemorrhage. But within 24 hours
the organ showed signs it was
being rejected by her body.
The kidney was removed after
48 hours and Mrs. Arthur was
put back on the twice-a-week
schedule of four-hour sessions on
the hoSpital's life-saving dialysis
machine, which takes over the
kidney's cleansing function.
Several times during the winter
and spring she was called from
her Exeter home, to make the
35-mile trip to London. Another
potential donor had been found.
But it was not until July 7, at
6:30 a.m. that word came of a
definite second chance of life.
A young man injured in a motor
accident was dying and his.kidney

What to do for the summer is
a question that faces many young
people.
George and John Godbolt, Ex-
eter, solved the problem by build-
ing the "Hamburg Hut" on High-
way 19 just north of the new St.
Marys by-pass and announced
their official opening recently.
George graduated from 1.1WO
in business administration in May
and decided on a change of vo-
cation after working the past
three summers on construction.
"1 should at least be able to
give my students some first hand
views of my own experience in
the business world,", George
stated. He will be teaching in
Forest in September.
Tne quick lunch business is
located near Wildwood Park and
will probably look after summer
employment for the two for some
time.

Dr, Stiller, "but we exPedt that
the life expectancy of the patient
will be a natural lifetime.
Pr. McAninch said in the early
days of kidney transplantation,
doctors made "a determined ef-
fort to keep that kidney In there
and keep it working."
"We still make a determined
effort," he said, “but if we real-
ize the kidney has to come out,
we face it immediately. Once
we have decided, we take it out
and put the patient back On dial-
Ysis."
Gains are being made in'beat-
ing the rejection phenomenon, Dr.
MoAninch said. Recent develop-
ments of testing tissues and white
cells for compatibility are ex-
amples.
"They are helping us to pick
the patient and donor's kidney
that match more accurately," he
Said.
Mrs. Arthur has been doing
just fine and is devoting much
of her time to knitting clothes
for the baby expected by her
son, Tom, and his wife,Carol,
later this month. It wil be her
first grandchild.
"That's why I had to get a
kidney. So I can baby-sit," she
jokes.
She is anxious to return to a
normal life after nearly three
years of countless round trips
from Exeter with her husband,
Graham, and the restricted diets.
In the meantime, she knits
or reads or plays Scrabble with
the nurses. And every once in
awhile she glances out the window

were 276,835 of them, 1'7,000
more than in 1961. The import-
ance of commercial farms is
underscored by the fact that they
produced 95% of the total value of
agricultural products from all
431,000 farms in the country.
Commercial farms sell $2,500
or more of agricultural products
annually compared to only $50
or more for census farms. Al-
most 85% of total Canadian farm
capital is invested in commercial
farms.
Commercial farms accounted
for 81% of total farm land in 1966
compared to 73% in 1961. Almost
two-thirds of all farms were
commercial farms in 1966 com••
pared to just over one half in
1961.
Over 80% of the farms inSask-
atchewan are classified as com-
mercial farms, 70% in Alberta,
68%. in Manitoba, 65% in Ontario
and 53% in Quebec.
Commercial farms in 1966 had
an average of 59 more improved
acres, 11 more cattle and 8 more
hogs per farm than the all-farm
average.
