Human Body
The 7-yearmold Canadian beer
was a pitiable sight. Born with
ai severe facial defeat he had a
deep depresSion in his left cheek
where the temple and Jawbone
normally Meet, 11le left ear watt
missing, his teeth alignment die-,
torted, and many teeth had fad-
ed, to erupt. To hide his die-.
figurement, the child's parents
let his hair, grew in a ehotilder-
length bob, giving him an une
natural feminine appearance.
"He was a frightened, with-
drawn youngster, unable to chew
properly, Masquerading as a girl,
and net attending School," Dr.
Martin A. Entire a Meatrealesur-
geon, told members of the Amen
lean Society for Plastic and Re
constructive Surgery at a meet-
ing in San Franciseo recently,
X-rays eakert at the ShrInerr!
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 graft 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 con-
necting 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, ap-
peared 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 hey has overcome
most of his psychological diffi-
culties. ,
In the field of adult plastic sur-
gery, there was important pro-
gress in reconstruction of injur-
. ed hands. Dr, Julian M. Bruner,
a Des. Moines; Iowa, surgeon, re-
ported specifically on accidents
to hands of farmers who try to
remove corn stalks or other ob-
structions from, the moving roll-
ers of the Mechanical corn-pick-
ing machines He cited the case
of one farmer who lost four
fingers of his right hand in such
an accident, and underwent
seven operations in the Veterans
Hospital, Des Moines, to save his
hand. The patieete veho.baseeefIl
motion in the, „..reconstructed
fingers, now works for a 'elientle
eel co/item, can run a trAter,
and handle heavy bags of chemi-
cals. —From Newsweek.

Almost immediately after-

Jodrell. Bank, England
(NFA)—The Russian Sputniks
are Murdering the sleep of this
peaceful Cheshire ,countryside,
30 miles from the rimy city of
Manchester and noted for Its
cheese.
Or rather, te, be more accu-
rate, the $2,500,000 Jodrell Bank
telescope, the largest steerable
radte-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 broke
en by 'eerie, other-worldly
noises that seem to come trora
the bowels of this red clay soil;
"It's like subway ,trains teare
ing along lender the earth," one,
farmer Old me. Another de-
cribecl the '.sounds as the "high,
pitched screams of a thousand
demons being put to torture.°
Even the ,caws are behaving
queerly, I was told. The batter
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 sub-
way; but the motors of the
Jodrell Bank telescope as It
turns and tilts in the night fol-
lowing the Russian satellites in
their orbits.
Tracking satellites is child's
play, relatively speaking, for the
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 .Y
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, cite
to the heat and frittien 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 tele-
scope will determine whether
the Russians have an inter-con-
tinental ballistic missile that is
capable of returning to earth to
discharge its deadly atomic load,
That is why all eyes—includ-
ing those of Russian scientiste—
.
are on Jodrell Bank at this ale-
mente.
Already; the giant telescope
has given one spectacular deny-

is an eye that -hears,. rather than

ing radio impulses 'to the stars,

To get an idea*ot its size, the
teleseepe's reflector is .15. times
bigger than the 200-inch mirror
of the Mount Palomar telescope
in California. The reflecting
dish is, in fadt, 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 • et - tons, 2s suspended between two
towers that are taller than Nel-
son's Column in London's Tra-
falgar Square (185 feet).
But the marvel, which'eveighs
2,000 tons all told, moves with
the delicacy and precision of
the sweep-hand of a watch when
It is tilted to can the sky or
follow a star in its course.
The reflecting dish is com-
pletely steerable. It can be
pointed in any direction, includ-
ing 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 dbject, electronic computers
do all the calculationt required
to keep it on its target, as it
performs its weird rock'n' roll.
