(UP) Medical science is building a new 'face for llyear-old Wanda Lee Horton. Her doctors say that three years and some 100 operations from now she should have the appearance of a normal teen-ager. Last November doctors didnt think she would live, Two mem bers of her family were burned to death and three were critically in Jured in the family home near Sand Springs, Okla. Wanda was carried out of the flaming house with burns covering 40 per cent of her body. Two of her fingers wre burned off and her face was marred beyond recognl tion. At first doctors fought to save her life, Her strong will to live finally turned the tide, Then they turned to functional surgery to help heal her wounds. Eyes Sewed Together Skin was grafted over her worst burns and her eyelids were sewn together to insure sufficient flesh to cover her eyes. For seven months she could see only a pin point of light. While her scars healed, doctors worked to restore the use of her lips and neck and to bring normal movement back to her twisted hands. That work is still going on. Last month a surgeon re-opened her eyes and lengthened the skin on her neck with several opera tions. Another operation pulled her lower lip back into place and Wan da is finding life a little easier, But there's a long road ahead. Surgeons must remove scar tissue, section by section, and replace It with new skin. New half will be grafted on parts of her head, her eyes must be widened and other parts of her face rebuilt. Operations Painful Each operation is painful and each must be followed by days of recuperation in bed before life next one can be attempted. But Wanda has developed a goal that steels her against the pain She keeps a picture of herself taken before the fire and tells vis itors that her doctor is working to make Iter look like that again. She's one of the favorite patients at St. John's hospital and nurses say they've never seen her when she wasn't cheerful. She'll be starting back to school this fall, with time out for opera- tions. compare with ours. Campers were not supposed to call them by their first names, so for Betty Gene Alloy we called her '.

By CAROLYN SAYER (Guest Columnist) High School Junior Last week a group of twenty six Girl Scouts had a glorious week ;t the Canton Y.M.C.A., Camp Hope. Each day started with the ring ing of a get-up bell at 7:30. Breakfast was served at 8.00. Af terwards everyone had time to clean their cabin and do capers before inspection. After inspection and the neatest cabin awarded a star, we had tennis, archery, and swimming. Then came lunch, and after a well filled morning of activity everyone was ready for it. After lunch we had rest hour, arts and crafts, nature study and swimming. We also had some free time each day. Several times everyone enjoyed a supper hike. Eating out of doors after a short hike was loads of fun. And speaking of fun, every one enjoyed the square dances that were the entertainment for two of the nights there. On an other night a "sniper hunt was enjoyed by all. Lights out at 9:30 was one of the rules. So each night before that time everyone gathered at the Council Ring and sang songs. Our councillors came around each night to say good night and see if there was anything we need- id. Everyone felt that there were no councillors that could begin to AP Newsfeatures . THE SUPERIORITY of U. S. aircraft was. demonstrated early in the Korean crisis. American trans port planes were helping to evacuate 2.000 persons, including members of the United Nations Com mission on Korea, American civilians and 'military dependents, when they were attacked by enemy planes. U. S. Fighter planes went into action and were reported to have shot down several Russian made North Korean Yak fighters without a loss to Americans. A reason for this quick success may be found In the adjoining comparison of the outstanding differences between American and Russian fighters, at least those used by the North Koreans in the early fighting.
