al is buried was exhibited to the
Medical Society of the state OF New
York today.
The siren goes up the scale as II
nears the metal, and changes so
accurately that by the sound a
physician can judge just about how
close he is.
The siren voice also does the re-
markable trick OF showing. by
sound, the direction in which a
long splinter lies. The splinter
doesn't have to be very long eth
er, for the siren to show whether
the doctor is approaching It broad
side, or end on.
The military value is two-fold,
one for helping a surgeon extract
metal. something which often takes
an hour or more because OF extreme
difficulties in locating, and two,
to classify wounded quickly. one
class being those who have no met
al in their bodies, and the other
the buried fragment boys who may
need further investigation.

"Brother Van" Did
Some Grand Work

Brother Van' they called him
81 years ago. He was active and
earnest and as missionary OF
the Methodist Church. he wanted
to bring Christianity to every
person residing on the reserva
ton.
Just 50 years ago last Sun.
day the Methodist Church buiId.
ing was dedicated out on t h e
church ranch property one mile
west of Browning. That was a
great day for Brother VAN"
Were Brother Van Ordsell liv.
ing today. he would see a far diff
ferent mission. The missionary
now drives car and covers Ito
miles each Sunday. holding three
church services. three Sunday
Schools, and young peoples
meeting in Browning, Babb and
Glacier Park.
In Brother Vans" dav most
of the Methodist Church attend
ants were Indians. Today it is
hard O tell with the rapi d
changes of the last fifty years
just who is Indian and who is
white in the congregations. And
Brother Van" would like that.
for he came to represent Christ
who knows no creed, or race or
color differences.
As over $50 Professionals wor-
shipped in the various communi-

Brother Van" for bringing the
Protestant religion with lis com
