eofo--do NEU PLAT --ESPCg THUMBS MADE TO ORDER
 EVEN TO NAIL POLISH
By H. W. Blakeslee AP Science Editor

NEW YORK - The American Journal of Surgery tells of a wo- man milliner who has a new thumb, including bone, all built by plas tic surgery.
 She had lost about half her left thumb due to an infection. She was unable to thread a needle. The jointsremained, and a stump of bone extending a little beyond it. Re- construction of this stump into fullsized thumb is described by Maxwell Maltz, M. D. of New York City, who was assisted by R. Pres ton. M. D., in the bone part of the work.
 The rebuilding was in several stages. First a roll of flesh was transferred from her abromen, trunk handle fashion, to form a new thumb end. In a few weeks this flesh knitted to the stump and took the contours of a thumb. The end, however, was left open.
 Next a piece of bone 21h inches long was taken from her leg. One end of this bone was was sharpen ed like a lead pencil point so that it could be inserted in the bone stump. There 1t united with the old bone and in a few weeks be- came a living part of the thumb, The end of the thumb was closed and shaped.
 In this stage the milliner had perfectly useful thumb for threading needles again, but no thumbnaii. An artificial thumb nail was added. The nail is realistic in shape and takes polish like her other nails.

With the Red Cross now carrying the most significant role in it's en. tire wartime and peacetime history residents of Wrangell will be asked to do their part in helping to raise the national $125.00,O0O Red Cross War Fund quota, E. R. Sharnbroicht chairman of the local chapter an- nounced today. The quota for Wrangell has been set at $500
 The local and national War Fund Campaign will begin on March 1. and will be launched by a nation wide radio broadcast on February 28. President Roosevelt has desig- mated March as Red Cross Month. In the first World War II campaign for funds, which the Red Cross car ried on in 1941, Wrangell chapter with a quota of s75O oversubserib- ed by about $25O.
 The War Fund goal for 1943 is based upon realistic estimates which careful survey shows are actually needed to meet the heavy wartime obligations and responsi- bilities of the Red Cross. Chairman Sharnbroich said. The sum covers local, national and international wartime needs for the organization for one year. More than 65% of the total amount has been budgeted for direct national services to the arm ed forces.
 Illustrative of the magnitude of the Red Cross program. at the pres ent time the Red Cross is caring for about 5O,0OO Polish refugees in East Africa Syria, Palestine and Iran, in addition to handling ser vices for the U, S. armed forces from advanced fighter bases in Tri- politania to hospitals and service clubs in Egypt and Palestine.
 The sole official volunteer ser vice agency in the war zone, the Red Cross divides it's service work into three major sections; service to the able bodied men in the field, hospital work among the wounded an1 sick and club work for men on leave.
 Each American fighting group leaving the United States Is accomp- anied by at least four Red Cross workers = field director, two assistants and a recreational super visor.
 Besides this tremendous amount Of work for our armed services the Red Cross took charge of relief work in 172 disasters during 1942 at a cost of $1.5OO,O00. They also extended aid to over 2O,OO0,OO0 persons in the war-torn countries of Europe. Africa ana Asia.
