didn't think she was getting enough out of
the class. So she enrolled in an anatomy
class at New York University College of
Medicine
One of the surgeons one day asked her
to pinch-hit as a medical illustrator on a
minor operation. That was 10 years ago.
Shortly after, she was offered full-time
staff Job by the college, has been at it since.
A knowledge of human anatomy is
prime requisite for her job. Miss Lorenc
must be able to sketch an operation with
out an explanatory word from the busy sur
geon, if necessary But she usually huddles
in advance with the surgeon, who describes
the nature of the task ahead, the unusual
things he expects to encounter, the things
he wants her to emphasize.
>>Shoxthand Sketches"
MEMORY also plays big part. Things
may progress too quickly for her to trans
NIT everything to paper. Then she makes
shorthand sketches" depending on her
memory to fashion the completed drawing
which may take anywhere from three hours
to three days, longer if the doctor wants it
in color Most illustrations are line work as
it is better for reproduction; the detail is
almost microscopic in its completeness.
Miss Lorenc's understanding of anatomy
has been helpful even to surgeons. When she
cannot be present at an operation it some
times is possible for her to work from die
tated description. Once, listening to such
description she looked up puzzled from
her sketch book. commented that it seemed
anatomically impossible to her. The secre-
tary checked the notes, found she was right.
1t may not sound like much to the lay
man, but she has stared fascinated at aortic
arches. These arches still have function
al value in certain lower forms of ami
mails but have long since ceased to exist
in man.

my spine," she says. when see rare
structure which might occur once in thou
sand cases or happen twice in row."
The tingle does not prevent her from
swiftly and accurately transferring the
drama from the operating table to her sketch
pad. But that's when she comes closest to
falling off her stool.

Cameras Can't Do II
1T is necessary that every important step of
an operation be scientifically and accurately
recorded. A camera cannot do this. A cam
era depicts only the surface - an artist can
simulate hidden tissues. Movies are used,
however, for lectures.
When perfecting new techniques sur
geon may be successful once, twice, with his
method, but this is not conclusive. 1t must
work dozens of times before publication
in a medical journal. Sometimes he alters
his method but he must have a clear,
chronological picture of what has happened.
Mary Lorenc became medical illustra-
tor quite by accident. She had been working
in the New York Public Library In her

dents had the rare opportunity Of
seeing a home economics room
that was actually lived in-in-
stead of the usual spic and span
laboratory which in no way re-
sembles a home.
So why all the racket about the
professor? He gave the kids some
first-hand knowledge of today's
living problems. Maybe he dis

didn't get into the papers.
But the professors plight did,

the problem. And that's another

SHORTAGES FELT
 BY COAL DEALERS
Self=Service Assures De- liverieS; Walks, Drive-
 ways Must Be Clear

Shortages of all kinds to harrass local coal dealers in attempting to create a solution to the current fuel crisis. The shortages consist of lack of coal, manpower, truckS-and in some cases, patience.
 Following a meeting of the fuel committee yesterday, Mayor John s. Monagan announced that the most feasible solution to the prob lem at present is for consumers to go to local coal-yards, load their own coal and cart it home.
 At present, transportation of the fuel is provided by trucks furnished by the dealers, by factories and the City Street Department, yet the lack of available manpoWer to load and unload these trucks sharply cur tails adequate service of even what fuel supply is available.
 Too, 1t has been pointed out by dealers, that no coal will or can be delivered to bins at locations where residents have failed to shovel or clean of snow and ice the sidewalks, driveways and walks, surrounding their homes. Such handicaps pre- sent hazards which just recently resulted in one veteran fuel worker slipping and breaking his arm.
 Another cause of complaints from coal consumers, received by local dealers is situation in which some consumers must pay an extra charge
