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.

Workshop Held
At Drayton Street
The teachers of the Upper Ele
mentary Grades of the Newberry

| tion Workshop in Social Studies
' on January 11 and 12 at Drayton
Street School. Mrs. Melva J. Bur-
no. the Jeannes Supervisor for the
county. Miss Alfreda James. State
Elementary School Supervisor,
conducted the workshop along
with the cooperation of Director
P. K. Harmon and County Super
intendent James D. Brown. A
more extensive workshop in the
same field is being planned for
the near future. ;
Among the points stressed in
the teaching of Social Studies
were: family life, citizenship,
communication and transporta
tion, production, consumption,
conservation and distribution, rec
reation, moral, spiritual and | es
thetic development.
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.

which Tom Ewell plays second

O LD man Reb Skinner was far
alone In bis 80’s, and age had
taken its toll in hearing. 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.”
