year of service together as pas

look back over the year what can

Hemophilia is a disease Of the
blood which is marked by a ten
dency to excessive bleeding (even
from small wound) as the blood
does not eliot promptly. There are
about 10000 cases in this country.
People who suffer from this dis

A great deal of research work IS

Election of the target in her

mond ring, Shattering the

Despite that and similar
exhibitions Of skill, Mrs. Myers
never has had an accident.
Neither has she ever used a
gun in self-defense.
AS if her shooting weren't
enough she also has had a
flying license and is an ac-
complished horSewoman, but
she now says that shooting
alone is a good enough out
door exercise for women.
"A woman gets the same
satisfaction from breaking a
few targets that a man gets
from lowering his golf score"
she says. "At the same time,
she gets the exercise and the
benefit of the fresh air and
sun.
Then, too, there is that
all-important self-protection
angle. If women would over
come their fear Of guns, learn
how to handle them properly
and wisely, a great deal of
crime against women would
disappear"

a .38-caliber revolver and was
knocking over targets and
records in competitive shoot
ing.
In one test in which she won
a state championship, the
target was a life-size silhou-
cite of a mans body, the heart
painted in white. Starting
with her back to the target,
Mrs. Myers was to walk away
from it and, at a signal, turn,
draw her revolver and fire.
She had walked about 80
PAGES when the signal was
given. She wheeled about and
fired. In is seconds, three
bullets plowed through the

vited to Mexico City to ex-
hibit her skill to the police
there. There were movie,
theatrical and rodeo offers.
Her accuracy was demon
strated in another test in
which she hit the cutting edge
OF a hatchet at 18 feet. The
hatchet was fastened at a
right angle to the target. Clay
pigeons were hung on each
side of the hatchet. Mrs.
Myers fired at the edgewise

housewife has her own recipe
for cutting down the appalling
number of purSe-snatchings,
assaults, holdups and other
crimes against women.
Women should learn to
handle a revolver, she says.
1t is as simple as that.
She is Mrs. Betty Myers,
whose ability with a revolver
or f1rearm of any kind, for
that matter-would put the
exploits of Annie Oakley, the
pioneer markSwoman, to
shame.
Despite offers that might
have led to fame and fortune,
Mrs. Myers has set aside her

of the little brick rambler at

Nevertheless, she is proud of
her medals and trophies and

Mission Worker
To Speak Here

Allan McHardy, missionary to
he ''MotorcyclistS, I" will speak at
7:3O tonight at 729 Fleming Street.
An interesting speaker, McHardy's
talks have been well received in the
past.
In his early thirties, McHardy is
. Canadian by birth. He left high
school at an early age and EN-
barked on a career of motorcycle
racing in which he was very sue
eessfuI.
However, n the course Of his
racing, he was the victim Of q Sc
rious accident and during his hos
pitalization, he was saved and gave
his heart 10 the Lord.
Upon being sufficiently recover
cd, McHardy opened motorcycle
shop and started to race again.
However, he had another accident
- this time so serious that doctors
held little hope for his recovery.
But through prayer and the grace
Of our Lord, McHardy's life was
spared to enter into missionary
work.
Before leaving the hospital, Nc
Hardy realized that he was about
$1,000 in debt and that this would
have to be paid before he left his
home and business.
A miracle happened. Shortly af-
ter leaving the hospital, he became
heir to 5000, whereupon he paid
his debts, sold his motorcycle shop
and went to San Diego to visit rel
atives and decide what school to
enter.
While there, he checked into all
Of the Bible training schools in the
country. After his visit, he went to
Los Angeles where he entered the
Home Mission Service and decided
to come to Miami.
He is now attending the Miami
Bible Institute.

Science Notes

Az Seienee Reporfer

Detroit Up "A successful mech
anical heart, to give human hearts
holiday, was announced today.
For SO minutes, the amazing
little machine pumped a mans
blood through bis body.
Rumbling like quiet washing
machine, it by-passed the leftside
of his heart. It detoured the blood
coming from his lungs, and pulsed
it back into his arteries.
Empty of blood, with no work to
do, the still-beating heart was
opened to repair a faulty valve.
The man, Al, and not identified,
is alive and well today, three
months after the historic opera
ton July 8.
Only this one human success was
announeed-but with a hint if has
worked on other persons since.
In dogs, this same pump has
been rigged to bypass both sides
Of the heart, putting the whole
heart on temporary vacation.
In dogs also, it's been combined
with an artificial lung to bypass
the entire heart plus the lungs.
The heart-lung machine someday
may do the same for humans.
This human success marks
milestone in medicine. With mech
anical hearts. the heart can be
laid open for new surgery, under
direct view.
With part or all the heart emp
tied, surgeons can better remove
bullets or other objects, repair
weak spots in heart walls, take out
tumors, plug holes in the hearts
dividing walls. The spare hearts
might someday help save people
whose own hearts stop.
The human success was an
nounced in the Journal Of the
American Medical Association by
DIR. F. d. Dodrill, DR.. Edward
Hill and DR.. Robert a. Gerisch of
Harper Hospital here. General
Motors engineers helped develop
the mechanical heart, and are
working on the artificial lung for
humans. The Research was sup
ported by the Michigan Heart
Association.
The surgeons said their patient
IL definitely improved, but it is
not yet fully known how much he
benefited from his operation.
Rheumatic fever had left him
with an enlarged heart valve. 1t
failed to close completely when
the lower left chamber, the left
ventricle, of his heart pumped to
send blood into his arteries. Some
blood coursed back up through the
bad valve into the left auricle, the
upper chamber which first collects
blood coming from the lungs.
Any exercise made him short of
breath. He was seriously i'll.
This is how the mechanical heart
helped him:
The surgeons opened his chest.
A tube was pushed into the pull
monary artery, which brings blood
from tthe lungs. Part of the left
auricle was clamped off.
The machine sucked the blood
from his auricle, then pumped It
back through another tube insert
ed into the mans aorta--the great
main artery coming from the ven-
tricle. For nearly an hour no blood
was going through the left side of
his heart.
For IL minutes Of this time, the
surgeons had his heart open, oper-
