CAMP LEE, Va, June 10.-Sur-
geons and administrative officers are
proud OF the fact that they have at
the station hospital here the Army's
only shop for repairing and making
surgical instruments.
Suppose 1t. Col. Martillus H.
Todd, chief of surgery, whose home
is in Norfolk, figures out new
chisel for an intricate bone opera
ton, or Capt H. L. Zurnik of Balti-
more has developed a new wrinkle
in abdominal surgery and needs a
new type of knife.
They step across the hall from
operating room No. and tell their
story to Sergt. Merlin S. Snowden
OF Minneapolis. They talk over the
problem and Sergt. Snowden and
his assistant, Technician Fifth
Grade Gerhard Plath of Bay City,
Mich, get to work. Soon some SOL
dler's operation is simplified by the
use of a gadget which owes its exist
ence to the fusion of knowledge of
surgeons with mechanical bent and
OF craftsmen who specialize in the
making and repair of surgical in
struments.
1t is up to Sergt. Snowden and
Technicsan Plath to keep in repair
the hundreds of instruments at the
station hospital. .....
The man who Camp Lee says is
the only man in the Army to run
surgical instrument repair shop
did that very thing in civilian life,
except his shop was a travelling
affair. He and his brother put
their tools in car. and went about
the country, from hospital to hos
pital, performing surgery on surgi-
cal instruments.

Serqeunt's Skill Fashions New
Instruments for Surgery

cts an odd thing" Sergt. Snow
den said, "but 1 tried to enlist for
this kind of work in all of the serv-
ices. No dice. Then the draft took
over and I was classified as a cook.
But I was lucky. Col. Todd and
other surgeons here saw need for
my kind of ability and pretty soon
they put me to work with lathes and
emery wheels, and I've been at it
since l wouldn't be much use to a
surgeon who didn't know about me-
chanics or have ideas of what he
wanted. 1t isn't like that here.
Frequently, the surgeons call me
to the operating room and show me,
during the operation, just where an
instrument could be improved for a
particular type of case. Then we
make the changes and the next pa
tient gets the benefit.
Funny thing is that about the
time went to work here my brother
got civilian job with the Navy.
He travels around the country, re-
pairing surgical stuff at Navy hos
pitals. Biggest difference is that he
started at $4,000 a year plus Sc a day
expenses, and I started at $50 a
month
The surgeons at Camp Lee think
it would be fine thing for the Army
to set up some one like Sergt. Snow
den as professor of surgical instru-
ment repairing" and turn out stu
dents for every hospital of, say, more
than $50 beds. They agree that the
psychological value alone to the sur
geon is worth the investment in such
work. Then, too, the doctors tell you
that they save weeks and months by
having the shop right there.

all right, because he thinks the war
