MAN, 68. GIVES "UP ONE OF EYES

Farm Boy’s Kindness to Older Patient May Win Him Chance to See.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 9.(U.P.) —A heroic gesture of friendship and a fare surgical operation were revealed today. An old man of 68 gave his left eye to a young man of 19. Surgeons at Charity Hospital removed one of John Wesley Amos’ eyes and transplanted its cornea to the left eye of Frank Chabina. It will be ight days before they'll be able ell whether: the operation was sueessful. Chabina, a farmer's son from

Hamburgers Fried Without - Smell—But Half of Fun Is Gone a

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9 (U. P.).—A machine to take the smell out of a frying hamburger was being exhibited today at the Pacific Coast Con-

Congress.

placed where it had been.

TRY A WANT AD IN THE TIMES

Albany, La., dropped a sack of lime on June 2, 1935, and the rising dust burned his left eye. It healed, but scar tissue was left on the cornea, which threatened to become infected and to affect the right. There were only two remedies—either to graft new tissue onto the eye ball or to remove it surgically.

Needed “Live” Donor

He entered the hospital six weeks ago because a young surgeon there, who, for ethical reasons, insisted that he remain unidentified, had | been performing some remarkable eye operations. In three months he had successfully grafted the cornea _from the eyes of dead men into the eyes of living Negroes. Tissue from a dead man, however, would not have been of service in Chabina’s & case, and he was put into a ward to ait an ‘“eye-donor.” ere he met Amos, who had | in the hospital three months ause of a bad heart, and who t that he was nearing the end of jis span. Other patients in the ward ound him grumpy and left him alone, but. Chabina talked with him by the hour, patiently listened to the story of his life, and sympathized with his misfortunes. Two weeks ago’ Amos heard for the first time that Chabina’s sight depended upon a living person giv= ing him an eye. He called doctors. “Frank’s been very good to me,” . he said. “Not may young fellows would bother to cheer up an old man like the way Frank's done. If you figure one of my eyes can help Frank see, I want you to take my eye and give it to him.”

Taken to Operating Room

Yesterday Amos was taken into the operating room. After he had been put under, the young surgeon |- severed the eye muscles and the optical nerve, lifted the eye ball out and put in a sterile solution of salt water, sodium cignate and adren- ¢ = alin. It took 50 minutes. Then Chabina was brought in. He was given only a local anes- -,

then tied evenly and both eyes were carefully bandaged. The operation took 45 minutes. Chabina must remain completely still for 72 hours. After eight days the bandage will be removed and the stitches taken out. If the lime did not go too deep, | the graft probably will be successful, |
