Floyd Frozen Sleep Is Medical Advance British scientists are on the threshold of discoveries that may enable future space travellers to undertake journeys to distant planets or even the satrs. And arrive no older than when they started out! How? By “deep freezing” them and keeping their bodies in a state of suspended animation. “Already we can keep living tissue and organs in a state of hibernation and bring them back alive years later, while physically they’re not a day older” a leading research worker said. Some of England’s most bril liant scientists are working on project “Frozen Sleep”. Army per sonnel are cooperating. These vital experiments on the effects of artificial hibernation are now being conducted by a medical unit in London set up by the government-controlled Medical Research council. Artificial hibernation reduces the temperature of the body and lowers its demand for oxygen. Doctors are already using “frozen sleep” in place of anaesthetics in certain operations. The patient is wrapped in a special blanket and refrigerated by icy water circulating through pipes encased in the blanket. In a series of operations on children carried out in Edinburg, the mortality rate, which had been 54 per cent, in cases when the new ‘‘frozen sleep” was not used, fell to only 14 per cent when the new technique w r as adopted for identical operations. Animals used in experiments have been put into “deep freeze” for long periods. Their hearts ceased beating, but scientists were able to bring back animation toy playing a beam of light on their hearts.** The “patients” fully recovered and showed no signs of having suffered by their artificial hibe- nation. Side by side with British ex periments, American scientists are also probing the possibilities of human hibernation. At Denver Medical school, cold salt water is run into the pat ient’s chest to “freeze” organs when heart operations are under taken. American research workers are trying to produce an emergency “pill’ to be carried by explorers, and others in danger of getting lost in Artie conditions which will enable them to “hibernate” until rescuers arrive. In Britain, surgeons have al ready been able to remove diseas ed arteries from a patient and re place it with healthy arteries which have been kept in “deep freeze” for an indefinite period. Banks” for hearts and other vit al human organs are a possibility in the not-far-distant future. Newberry Men In Service At Stations Around The World Fort Riley.

In his remarks. Director Har mon quoted the following thought from a current professional publi cation: “One requirement for be ing a god teacher in ’56 as it has been in other years, is for the teacher to possess love for the child as an individual.” The date for the Social Studies workshop for all levels of elemen- tary grades has not as yet been definitely decided. This hectic domestic scene in which Tom Ewell plays second fiddle to his wife, Sheree North, a WAF lieutenant, is one of the many comic situations that help make “The Lieutenant Wore Skirts,” opening Monday at the Ritz Theatre, one of the funniest comedies to come out of Holly wood in years.

At times he failed to catch all the words in conversation, and It caused em barrassment Inverably he made the wrong reply resulting in amusement to listeners. The telephone had been placed in his bedroom where he spent most of his time, and when a ring came over the wires, he, the same as all on the party line, would pick up the receiver and get the gossip. This morning the phone rang a general alarm, all subscribers were urged to hear a message, a voice was saying; < “Folks, this is to let you know that old man John Hickman died suddenly last night Old Doc Bradberry said it was his heart. Funeral services will be held at the Woodland meeting house to morrow morning at ten." Reb Skinner was thoroughly up set John Hickman was one of the most well thought of farmers in that entire district he had been the main cog in many of the proj ects sorely needed thereabouts, especially instrumental in secur ing the well planned and efficient roads throughout the county, and now old John Hickman was dead. Reb replaced the receiver, then «7ent to inform his wife. When told she could hardly believe it She waa in town three days ago, she saw John Hickman on the square, whittling and Joshing with friends, he appeared In the best of health, why she even aaw him laugh and slap Zig Turner on the back in merriment However, she knew it was true. Reb wouldn’t Joke on such a serious matter. “When are they holding serv ices?” she asked. “Ten o’clock tomorrow morn ing,” replied Reb. “Woodland meeting house. Might as well lay out our funeral clothes. Reckon we’ll be going.” The small meeting house was swarming with people, and the strange part was ; N they were folks from the next county, mostly, just a smathering here and thei-e of John Hickman’s neighbors. Surely the time had been misunderstood, probably they would gather later. However, they didn’t, and when the church services were over. Reb allowed his wife, the horse and buggy to attend the burial, he would walk home, only a quar ter of a mile. Many thoughts crowded his mind as he walked along the lane. One in particular, he would miss the good-natured presence of his old friend, a man who could chase the Blue-devils with few words. All of a sudden Reb stopped in the middle of the lane, rubbed his eyes and stared; never had he believed In ghosts, yet, stand ing a few yards away was John Hickman. If John Hickman was in that black, silver-handled box on its way to the grave yard, how could he be standing there. Reb blinked and looked again. John Hickman returned his gaze with a smile. Something was wrong here. Something dead wrong. An impulse seized Reb, the urge to run to the cemetery and shout: “Halt the proceedings, ain’t nobody dead. The corpse is walking down the lane.’* The confusion was the fault of Reb’s hard of hearing, the mes senger had said, “Folks, this is to let you know that old man Lon Wickman has died.” Wickman lived in the next county. The following summer, John Hickman did pass away. The same message came over the wires. Reb’s wife told him to put on his black suit, they were going to the services. “Me, I’m not going,’’ said Reb. “Not going?” she asked. “Mer cy me, why not?” “^t ain’t mannerly to ask for • second helping,” replied Reb. "I’ve already done my duty, 1 attended his funeral once.” A fencing match becomes a duel of love when Lana Turner is engaged to teach a rough-and- ready prince the amenities which befit him as a future king. of France.
