Rebuilding A
Human Body
The 7 -year-old Canadian boy
*as a pitiable sight. Born with
a severe facial defect, he had a
deep depression in his left cheek
where the temple and jawbone
norxnally meet, His left ear was
)missing, his tooth alignment dis-
tweed, and many teeth had fail-
ed to erupt. To hide his dis-
figurement, the child's parents
let his hair grow in a shoulder -
length bob, giving him an un-
natural feminine appearance.
"He was a frightened, with-
drawn youngster, unable to chew
properly, masquerading as a girl,
and not attending school," Dr.
Martin A. Entin, a Montreal sur-
geon, told members of the Amer-
ican Society for Plastic and Re-
constructive Surgery at a meet-
ing in San Francisco recently,
X-rays taken at the Shriners'
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.
Al the age of 14, when the
right side of the young patieas
lower jaw was fully grown and
his permanent teeth were in. Dt.
Entin made a permanent boue
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 boy has overcome
most 91 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 -
ors of the mechanical corn -pick-
ing machines. He cited the case
of one farmer who lost four
fingers of his right hand in such
en accident, and underwent
seven operations in the Veterans
Hospital, Des Moines, to save his
hand. The patient, who has full
motion sean the reconstructed
fingers, now works for a chemi-
cal concern, can run a tractor,
and handle heavy bags of chemi-
cals. .—From Newsweek.

Q. How can I protect playing

A. This can be easily accom-

'Well, I see our landlord's
been practicing putting again!"
British Have World's Only Telescope
That Can' Trace Space Satellites
By TOM A. CULLEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
Jodrell Bank, England —
(NEA)—The Russian. Sputniks
are murdering the sleep of this
peaceful Cheshire countryside,
30 miles from the grimy city of
Manchester and noted f or its
cheese.
Or rather, to be more accu-
rate, the $2,500,000 Jodrell Bank
telescope, the largest steerable
radio -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 brok-
en by eerie, other -worldly
noises that seem to come froze
the bowels of this red clay soil.
"It's like subway trains tear-
ing along under the earth," one.
'farmer told me. Another de-
cribed the sounds as the "high-
pitched screams of a thousand
demons being put to torture."
Even the cows are behaving
queerly, I was told. The butter
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-
ways, 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
are on Jodrell Bank at this Inc-
snent,
Already,, the giant telescope
has given one spectacular dem-
onstration of its capabilities. In
response to a frantic Russian 'e -
quest to locate the wayward
rocket that is chasing Sputnik
the telescope reached out and
plucked the rocket 1,000 miles
away as it hurtled over the Arc-
tic Circle. It took the telescope
just six hours to locate the lost
rocket.
Impressed with this perform-
ance, Russian scientists now
telegraph daily forecasts of
Sputnik II's position to the ex-
perimental station at Jodrell
Bank.
As the U.S. launches its,satel-
lites into outer space, ,the tele-
scope will become increasingly
important. Already, it is fur-,
nishing data on the Russian
satellites to the Smithsonian
Institution and to the U.S. Naval
Research Laboratory.
First impressien of the Jodrell
Bank telescope, as viewed from
a taxi two miles away,. is that
of a gigantic Cyclop eye turned
toward the heavens. Only, this
is an eye that hears, rather than
sees, one that is capable of send-
ing radio impulses to the stars,
the sun and to distant nebulae.
To get an idea of its size, the
telescope's reflector is 15 times
bigger than the 200 -inch mirror
of the Mount Palomar telescope
CYCLOPS EYE IN COW FIELD: For this giant
Bank, England, tracking satellites is child's
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
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, due
to the heat and friction of
earth's atmosphere? Will they
disintegrate, scattering showers
of meteorites as brilliant as a
cernet'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 scientists—
telescope at Jodrell
play,
in California. The reflecting
dish is, in fact, big enough to
seat 10,000 people (whether
comfortably or with knees up
to their chins, ane is not told),
This dish, which weighs 800
tons, is suspended between two
towers that are taller than Nel-
son's Column in London's Tra-
falgar Square. (185 feet).
But the marvel, which weighs
2,000 tons all told,, moves with
the delicacy and precision of
the sweep -hand of a watch when
it is tilted to scan 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 object, electronic computers
do all the calculations required
to keep it on its target, as it
performs its weird rock'n' roll,

Fur Coat Saves
Drowning Person
The world was thrilled re-
cently by the miraculous escape
of Second Officer Douglas War-
drop of the 10,000 -ton Glasgow
motor ship, British Monarch.
Falling overboard into the Pa-
cific Ocean; and not missed
nearly four hours later, he
went on swimming entirely un-
supported for nine hours with
a turtle keeping him company
and an electric eel, which kept
giving Jairrx shocks, before , his
ship, having turned about and
raced back over 100 miles, res-
cued him.
Much more amazing, though,
after being hurled into the wa-
ter, was the escape of Mrs. Mar-
garet Gwyer, a survivor of the
ill-fated Lusitania which a Ger-
man TJ -boat sent to the bottom
in May, 1915, with the loss of
1,200 lives.
Margaret Gwyer, ethree weeks
married, was on her honeymoon
cruise off Ireland with her
clergyman husband. Her first
shock, after the torpedo's thun-
derous explosion, came when a
wave threw her out of the life-
boat into which she had clam-
bered
Then, as the vessel heeled
over, with its wreckage engulf-
ing her, she found herself to her
horror sucked into one of the
Lusitania's four giant funnels.
The ship then went down.
Suddenly there was a shatter-
ing explosion and hundreds
were killed. But Mrs. Gwyer
was blown clean out of the fun-
nel, as if shot from a fairground
cannon. Though much bruised,
she hit the sea without suffer-
ing any broken bones and was
hauled into a rescue boat.
Similarly, when in April, 1912,
ifter striking an iceberg three
hours earlier, the Titanic went
down, many survivors cheated
death very narrowly.
One, a Yorkshire Justice of
the Peace, A. H. Barkworth,
probably owed his life to his fur
coat. He wore it over his life -
belt, and by this novel arrange-
ment, gained extra buoyancy
when tossed about in the icy
sea. Later, he was able to climb
into a lifeboat.
On the afternoon of June 22,
1893, Vice -Admiral Sir George
Tryon, K.C.B., exercising his
fleet in the Mediterranean, gave
a faulty signal. It led to his two
lines of battleships turning in-
wards to reverse direction, when
there was not sufficient room
for such a manoeuvre.
His gship, the Victoria,
crashed into the Camperdown,
which was leading the parallel
&Aux= of battleships.
The Victoria plunged to her
doom, taking with her the Ad-
miral, twenty-two officers and
336 men. But one young officer,
marked for fame, escaped.
Commander John Jellicoe had
been lying in his bunk suffering
from malaria, As the ship crum-
pled under the terrific impact,
he staggered up on deck, and
dropped over the side. A few
seconds later the ship disappear-
ed. Struggling hard, Jellicoe
managed to keep afloat just long
enough to be rescued.
His rescue meant much for
Britain's future naval prestige
and safety. For twenty years la-
ter, as Admiral Sir John Jelli-
coe, he defeated the Kaiser's
warships at Jutland.
• Last autumn, an Aberdeen
trawler deckhand, forty-three-
year-old John Craig, had unbe-
lievable luck after being washed
overbeard. The huge wave which
carried him away knocked him
unconscious. But while he was
insensible another wave swept
him back on board. The force of
this, by a freak of fortune,
wedged him securely beneath a
lifeboat. And there he lay, hid-
den and unconscious.
His skipper, meanwhile' be-
lieving him lost, radioedthe
nearest coastal station. The Pet-
erhead lifeboat, answering this
S 0 S, circled until dusk in the
angry waters round the spot
where lie had disappeared, but
no body was sighted.
Craig's wife was informed.
But imagine her delirious joy
when the missing man walked
into her cottage, having revived
in the boat. His reappearance
surprised everyone. "Why, it's
yon Jamie's ghost that be welk-
in' here!" cried one of his ship-
mates, astounded to see him in
the flesh again.
When, in 1868, the French
steamer, Ville du Havre, went
down in mid-Atlantic with 200
victims, one of the eighty-seven
survivors, Mary Bulkley, felt all
she wanted to do was to follow
her little daughter, Helen, who
had drowned.
In vain, Mrs. Bulkley clutch-
ed the child's clothes, but the
sea's force tore them from her.
Then a stout piece of iron chain
hit her. She clung to it instinc-
tively, found it carne from a cap-
sized boat, and then the boat
itself broke in two.
Almost immediately after-
wards she was hit in the chest
by a floating beam. Clinging des-
perately to it, she stayed afloat.
She had drifted nore than a
mile from the wreckage when a
rescue boat fished her out.
