Diseased Tissues Saved, Studied (Continued from Page One)
Pfe«operative and post-operative consulations provide double checks tor the patiettts. Staff review of ever-present records is an important function.
The surgeon is never alone. Me has the jopinion of experts in tha reading of X-rays and tissue. A one-doctor diagnosis is impossible.
An operation, witnessed at Good Samaritan, was an unforgettable experience. The exactness of the surgeon's moves, the importance of the anesthetist who alone knows the patient's condition, the always present nurses, and the watch in the recovery
room made deep impressions. All three hospitals had gleaming operating rooms, huge ster
ilization machines, and light reflecting instruments. Safety Of the. patient is paramount. Surgery entrance regulations are strin
gent. All who enter wear protective masks and gowns. Footwear is non-conductive because of gases. Even light switches are specially built to eliminate sparks. The daily scrubbing of surgery is a detailed process.
At Providence and Good Samaritan, space allows segregation of surgery patients to one floor. At Memorial, in an expansion state, post-operative patients are kept away from medical patients with infectious ailments. Sneezing or coughing visitors are particularly herded away at all hospitals.
Self-policing, outside inspectors, skilled surgeons and constant sterilization protect operative patients in Sandusky hospitals.

Woman Hurt In Crash Recovering
A 29-year-old woman injured in ! an auto accident about noon yes- j terday, is in good condition at I Good Samaritan Hospital today i with leg injuries.
Freda E. Morrow, 4311 S. Co- [ lumbus Ave., sustained injuries when her auto collided with a car driven by Mary M. Stephens, 18, 1819 W. Monroe St., at Neil and Warren Sts.
Miss Stephens told police she was going west on Neil St., when her gas pedal slipped off its pin. She looked down momentarily and failed to see the stop sign at Warren. Her car entered the intersection and was struck by the Morrow auto.
Miss Stephens' car went out ot control, tore up a street sign at the intersection - and ran into a house at 915 Warren St., occupied by Mrs. Cora M. Herbel, damaging the center part of the dwelling.
Miss Stephens was cit?d by police for failure to yield the right of way. Freda Morrow was charged with driving without an operator's license.
A passenger in the Morrow car, Richard C. Bradley, 5, 4311 S. Columbia Ave., was uninjured.

not use authorized service, they lose the routes under the principle, used by the CAB in other recent decisions.
State officials will seek more routes, too. C. E. A. Brown, chief of the Ohio Aviation Division, and Pat West of the Ohio Aviation Board said they will seek a Cleve-land-to-Cincinnati route via Akron-Canton, New Philadelphia, Zanes-ville, Parkersburg, W. Va., and Portsmouth.
Brown said the state will object to the examiner's recommendations on the grounds that they are not flexible enough to allow Lake Central to change its minor routes without dragged-out CAB hearings, that service to lower Michigan and Cincinnati is not sufficient and that Northern Ohio cities do not provide e n o u g h flights,to West Virginia.
Sandusky Desperate Donald Meng, representing San
dusky, said his city was desperate for good southbound travel facilities. He said the Ohio Turnpike and the New York Central Railroad adequately serve Sandusky for east-west travel, but facilities for southbound movement a r e few.
"Any airline that goes into Sandusky is going to be' amazed at the amount of traffic generated,"
Township Sewers Discussed Future of the Perkins-Margaret-
ta Sewer and Water District under annexation h a s b e e n questioned by many persons this year, including Perkins Township trustees.
County commissioners discussed the question briefly Monday, and reviewed a contract with the Ohio Citizens Trust Company that would seem to demand retention of the district, at least for water supply purposes, by county commissioners.
The bond contract, which is dated August 1, 1955 and covers $665,000 in revenue bonds, is devised to run to 1985. Bonds are callable in 1964 or thereafter. First payment - of $15,000 w a s scheduled for this year under the pact. Bonds are in the amount of $1,000 each.
Several sub-sections of the contract, all under section 10, specify county retention of the system as long as bonds are in force. Contract is designed to protect the investments.
Sub-section (e) reads In part, "will for so long as any bonds are outstanding retain under the exclusive control of tht county commissioners, subject only to the operating and maintenance provisions of the supply contract, all facilities from time to time comprising the system."
Sub-section (c) dealing with supply of water, reads in part, "will maintain all contracts for supply of water to the system in good standing for so long as any bonds are oustanding."
Another sub-section, dealing with division of the district, reads in part, "will not exercise any right or privilege reserved ro it under the supply contract to exclude any portion of the area covered by terms of said supply contract without furnishing to the trustee (bond holders) written determination of the consulting engineer that such proposed exclusion will not substantially reduce annual revenue of the system."

IGLOOS1 COULD STORE FUEL
NASA May Take: Over Additional Ordnance Area The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) may eventual* -
ly obtain use of the remaining 3,000 acres at the* former Plum Brook Ordnance-3 Works south of Sandusky, the Register learned today. NASA now has a Use per-* mit from the Department of Defense for the northern 3,500 acres of the old T N T j plant.
It was learned by the Register that the NASA office in Washington has filed a letter with the Department of Defense asking for use of the southern sector at Plum Brook should the facilities be declared surplus. For several years the Erie Ordnance Depot has had use of the land and storage igloos for containment of ammunition.
Col. Glenn E. Nida, commanding officer at EOD, indicated that the 3,500 acres at Plum Brook have not been declared "surplus" as yet. He stated that it would be up to defense department of-' ficials to declare the facility no longer needed for ammunition storage. EOD is still using the area.
A spokesman for NASA at the Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, said the letter sent to the defense department was primarily to protect their own interests. It was indicated by the official that should the 3,000 acres no longer be needed by EOD, NASA would like to obtain a use permit for possible future expansion.
When the former NACA was given the task of building a nuclear reactor to conduct experiments leading to development of an atomic airplane engine many sites were inspected. Tho former pentolite area of Plum Brook was chosen as the best possibility in northern Ohio and a use permit for 500 acres of land was obtained from the Department of Defense.
Later an additional 3,000 acres at the former TNT plant was declared surplus by Washington and NACA received a use permit for the facilities. It was on this land that NASA, which succeeded NACA, started construction of rocket test facilities.
The rocket laboratory facilities, now nearing completion, are lo
cated around the triangle of Ransom, Taylor and Fox Rds. This location is fairly near the land now under control of EOD. Should NASA later take over this southern land it would offer an additional buffer zone for protection of civilians in the area.
There are approximately 100 reinforced concrete storage buildings or "igloos" in the southern sector of the facility. In time NASA might find a use for the igloos, possibly for the storage of rocket fuels. Loading docks with protective barricades are also located on the grounds and may be used at some later da ' .w.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad tracks from Willard to Sandusky pass just west of the former TNT plant and a spur track runs through the grounds. The reactor core and other pieces of equipment were brought into the
facility over these tracks. ,u During World War 2 the Nickel.,,
Plate Railroad had a spur track,* running into the loading area front',.* near Avery. The spur track is„, still in existence and could be..,, put into operation on jhort notice ^ should the need arise. Switches ^ from the NKP mainline to the. spur were removed some time ago and put into storage for possible , future use.
Presently most materials for.., the nuclear reactor and rocket testing facilities are being brought t -
in over existing highway.*. The " Ohio Turnpike, just south of t h e ^ facility, is used much by NASA ^ personnel in traveling back and forth from the Lewis' Research'* Center. When the Sandusky Expressway is completed there wi l l r ; be an interchange near Milan! ' and Bogart Rds., just a short diV 1
tance from the NASA entrance. "
Blood Drive Falls Short Of Goal Here
After several successful blood collections in recent months, the Red Cross te\ short of its 125 pint goal on Monday when only 120 pints were donated. This further increases the deficit for the year to 204 pints.
Al Gongos, recruitment chairman for the sponsoring Elks Club, said Tuesday that 220 persons had indicated that they would donate blood when the mobile unit came in from Cleveland. Eighty-six of these persons failed to keep their appointments as only 14 potential donors were deferred and 120 others were able to contribute a pint of blood each.
Drayton Bickley and Mrs. C. E.
Kennedy each donated their 16th "• pint of blood and received gold _ two-gallon donor pins.
Seven others joined the ranks of gallon donors by giving their eighth pint of blood to the Red Cross program. They were: Har- ' old Suter, Walter Kropf, Arthur , Zeiher, John Hertlein, James Beavers, Richard H. Paule and William Cullen.
For the first time in several months there were no three or four gallon donors.
Next visit of the bloodmobile to the area will be on Dec. 28 when " the unit is to be set up at tht ' Ford Motor Co. plant on Tiffin; 3
