Totem poles apparently fascin-
ate all visitors to Alaska. The USO
Club has brand new painting OF
totem pole that is exciting a lot
of interest and some speculation
1t appears at the foot of the stair
wav to the newly acquired second
floor of the clubhouse. Totem pole
symbolism is supposed to be OBJ
scure to the uninitiated; and we
are a bit uncertain about some OF
the symbolism in our new one. But
its purpose is clear. The top man
on this totem pole is a CT. figure
putting his *" where it says Sign
Here" and it is hoped that before
long many hundreds of more liter
ate CT. figures will have placed
their full signatures on the stair
way wall This clever painting was
done by Serviceman Peter Vachon,
cnce of Seattle and formerly en-
gagged in art work. You will like
his totem pole, we are confident,
and you will be glad to learn that
he is engaged in doing some adj
ditional cartoons for the Club.

by Jesta Young. (You will recall
that it was. Jesta who placed on

she formerly was employed@ This
booklet is designed to help to keep
up the morale of the studios many
former employees now in the armed

painted by Disney artists which
was attached to the booklet has
been donated by Jesta to the Port

that grim and strictly law-abiding
spot the girls doubtless are feeling
surprisingly safe for once; in any

much more decorative!

of future opportunities in politics

NOTES

NOTES
USOldier- of the Week: This col
INN proposes periodically, perhaps
several times each month, to se-
lect a Serviceman for mention here
as one who has contributed some
hing special to our Clubs welfare.
OF course this selection win be en-
1ireiy unofficial Nevertheless we
believe that the men thus named
from time to time will be widely
acknowledged as meriting such
recognition. Certainly this is true
of the man chosen today as the
first USOldier-o of the Week-Pfc.
GEORGE SCHNELL, from Still
water, MINI. A member of the
Servicemen's Council since it's in
ception, George has just been APP
pointed Chairman OF its Program
Committee. An accomplished pian-.
list, he has had a major part in
making the Servicemen's Orchestra
the excellent outfit it is today; and
he has played for informal Club
songfests on many occasions. He
also has been among the most,
helpful members of our Forum
Club; and at Monday nights meet,
ing he spoke particularly Interest,"
ingly of his plans for teaching after
the War. Personally one of the
best liked and most respected fell
lows ever at the Club, George rich-
ly merits the compliment of being
the first man named in this col
umn for this special recognition.

The urinary and gall bladdcrs can hc re-

and outlets rerouted, But all this is ac. om-
pished by removing the organs entirely and
not replacing them. In the same way an eye
may be removed bat never replaced
Or. Abeyta was asked about 'hc trans
planting OF the so-callcd monkey glands for
the purposes Of reiuvonatiou rs reported bv
Russian scientists some time ago.
This is au entirely different proposition
he answered. "I,re we arc concerned with
the ductIcss glands and their secrct.ous called
hormoncs. In such operations there was no
talk Of transplauting whole glands bat rather
the introduction Of parts OF glands into an in
divdual SO that the sccrctions could enter tho
blood stream. IN short. instead Of giving in-
jections Of hormonos. or giving them by
mouth. the thought was 90 introduce a small
'hormonc generator into the body Most OF
this work was done ON the sex glands"
Whatever the difficulties doctors may have
in transplantmg parts Of the human body, the
situation is much better explored among la
boratorv experimental animals. A few years
ago Or Justin Schwind Of Loyola University
Chicago described amazing experiments in
transplantiug legs from one rat 20 another. n
some cases he created rats with five legs In
stead of four. BY intricate surgery the nerve
connections and muscular control were expert
~ fashioned
1t must not be imagined that the expert
meHts Of Prof Sehw5ad were carried out in
single one shot surgical operation Rather it
is necessary 90 set up "a new blood supply

the same thing goes for the nerves. too
over period OF weeks the two rats We're
joined like a couple Of Siamese twins. side

surgically, TO the new host animal.
only when the circulatory and nervous
bonds were complete was the final separation
possible.
One Of Prof Schwinds laboratory pets
is Mickey, a rat which has been carrying
around fifth leg for some two years. The
leg can function and lift a weight as a man
might raise a weight with his finger Every
day Or Schwind massaged and exercised
this extra leg TO help it gain strength and
control
