Sound Needles Aid Brain Surgery

This finding from work
sponsored by the once OF

be one Of the most significant
steps yet taken In brain sur

tool for exploration Of OBJ

The sound waves used are
OF too great frequency TO be

But workers under ONR aus

Doesn't Hurt Tissues
The work TO date has been
carried out mostly under the
direction Of DR.. William ].
Frye Of the University of
Illinois Medical School. The
ultrasound needle" appar-
emily can be made about as
fine as the surgeon desires
and aimed through tissues or
bone without affecting them.
Thus 1t is possible, accord
ing to ONR biologists, to de-
stroy nerve fiber tracts deep
in the brain without in any
way affecting the gray mat
ter which surrounds them.
The primary differentiation
is between white matter and
gray matter. Here apparently
the margin is rather broad.
The present effort. however,
is to make far finer differ
entations between different
kinds of both nerve materials.
This presumably will entail
a long period of animal ex-
Fermentation.
Hitherto reaching some
buried areas after laying
open the skull-not required
in this procedure-has been
extremely difficult and deep
brain surgery is often fatal.
Perhaps the greatest signi-
flcance of the development.
however, lies in finding the
specific roles of various inner
brain areas in consciousness
and behavior.

ana so interest aSSu1npC1On.
Until 1888 all business was
written on a 49o interest ba-
sis; from 1888 to 1947 it was
on $40 and from then on,
the go Table.
The 1855 Convention did a.
way with the American Ex-
perience Table and in it's place
adopted the >so-called Com
missioners Standard Ordina-
ry 3ec Table.
This table differs to the
extent that it favors youn-
ger members, up to age 80,
whose premium is slightly
lower on the Endowment
at IS plan than on the A.
e. Whole Life form.
At age 80 the rates are the
same, that is, $1.68 per thou
sand, and after that the CSC
rates are higher. On all other
plans the ESQ is a. little high
er.
But this latter table has
one feature which the Amer
lean Experience did not have:
- All certificates are endow-
ments; the previous Whole
Life and 20 Pay Life are now
both Endowments at IS.
To younger members this
may not seem much of an ad-
vantage, since it is so far a.
way in the future, but as in
surance goes it is an advan-
tage due to the increase of
life expectancy, which has in
creased considerably during
the last decades and promises
to keep on increasing because
of the medical advances and
modern treatments VIII c h
were not available in the
past.
Peering Into Future
Before we begin to explain
the procedure of how various
certificate conversions can be
made, we wish to emphasize
the fact that all exchanges,
be they from the old 40,
31afe Or 3fe American Ex-
perience Table, are now made
to the new Commissioners
Standard Ordinary 3ee Table.
Since the last Conven-
ton a new form, EndOW-
ment at 65, has been in
effect, while the previous
Endowment at 10 form has
been discontinued.

ernizing our certificates, and
thus be able to compete bet.

Sister and Brothers:
This report is of my 9th years stewardship
of the Junior Order Department Happily marks strong
and determined continuation of the departments progress
in every phase of it's activities.
We here have become accustomed to this gratifying
record of achievement and the Society as whole de-
the vanguard of healthy prosperous, and progressing
fraternal orders.
The department is indeed the envy and marvel OF the
fraernal world In membership strength and expansion in
it's manifold cultural and sports activities and in fact by
any yardstck of measurement it is THE fraernal juvenile
branch
The year 1857 was exceptionally profitable
in all respects In the past hafdozen years it was
ecpsed only by the accomplishments of 1856 when the
exceptional attraction of the 'Visit Europe campaign
resulted in new record production.
Our campaigners last year. wrote up 3477 junior
afiaes to bring the yearend total to all time peak
of 1926 Despite the normal drain the department via
transfer to adult lapsaon etc., able to show net
increase of 1196 members.
The insurance in force also to new ceiling of
$245O9OOO, net increase for the year of 81 1O5OOOO
And, always am most gratified by the growth Of
our type business At the end of 1857 had
$500 Endowment 20 Pay contracts books
accounting for $6,614,OOO in insurance coverage.
Here is graphic picture of the departments expansion
this past six period How many societies. not juvenile
departments would be happy to match this?
