Lad With Single Lung
Wins Fight With Death

LONDON, ONT.-For two and a
half years physicians and surgeons
fought to save the life of little three
year-old Robert O'Deu of Petrolia,
Ont, who had a peanut lodged in
his lung. They tried every method
known to the medical world but
couldn't move it.
Slowly the lad failed. He was
brought to Victoria hospital here
where specialists studied his case.
They knew he would die if they
could not remove the peanut. But
by this time it had grown into the
lung.
There was only one chance left.
The whole lung might be removed
in a delicate operation. But it would
be dangerous. Such an operation
had never been tried here as far
as surgical records showed.
The boy is recovering in the hos
pital after q successful operation.
He has only one lung, but it is doing
the work of two. Unless some I'M
expected complications set in the
child will make a complete recov-
cry.

after having practically rewritten it.
Under the House measure all new
sources of pollution are barred. It's
enforcement will be largely in the

ice with the cooperation of the sew

Service. AS one of the important
tourist states, Minnesota is greatly in
terested in doing away with pollution
of the streams and lakes. In the
campaign to bring this about care

injury to affected industries. They
no doubt will be given reasonable
time in which to solve their indi-
