Saving a hand is no easy task By Mary Lubben t But Drage, with boundless optimism, said, I refuse to learn to write with my left hand, because Charlie (as he calls the hand) is going to learn to take orders again. He had high praises for the St. Marks Hospital team of doctors. Dr. Alfred E. Abaunza, pulmonary medicine; Dr. Robert A. Bauer Jr., surgeon, and Dr. Robert M. Dairy mple, internal medicine, "revive the cadaver after each operation by Ream, he said. Betty Beacon, physical therapist at Doxcy-HatcMedical Center, works constantly with Drage to keep his shoulder and elbow joints from freezing up and to increase the motion of his hand. Drage enjoys the life of a celebrity. "Wherever we go, somebodys sure to see his bandage and ask how did you do his wife, Pauline, said. When he it? says, 'I cut it off, you should see their faces. And then he has to tell all about it. Drage has given up meat cutting. His boss, Dee Smith of Smith's Management Corp., is sending him to management courses at Utah Technical College next year, he said, in preparation for a new Deseret News staff writer A Murray man whose severed right hand was reimplanted last December said he still plans eventually to do everything except, maybe, type on a light touch electric typewriter. His doctor is more cautious. But he said the hand itself is surviving well, and "the only problem now is regaining function." Bob Drage, 333 E. 45th South, cut his hand off Dec. 20 while working as a meat cutter at Smiths Low Cost Foods in Magna. Drage cooly directed other employes as they packed the hand in ice and got it to St. Marks Hospital. There, Dr. John R. Ream reimplanted it in an operation. Since then, "we've run into some problems we hadnt expected, the doctor said. Drage had to undergo an additional major operation about three weeks ago and faces at least one more. He has also had two minor surgical procedures and spends 12 to 14 hours a day-iphysical therapy. The operation was necessary. Ream said, to reconnect the extensor tendons at the back of the hand. Drage said these had boon pulled apart by several inches, apparently by involuntary gripping motion while he was on a respirator. He developed respiratory complications after the first operation and spent several days on the machine. The doctor took a tendon from Drago's toe to make repairs. CENTERVIILLE P. Glenn Moss, 79, 2062 N. Main St., Centerville, longtime Utah educator, died Sunday at his home of causes incident to age. Mr. Moss served in teaching and administrative positions in elementary and junior high schools for 41 years. He was principal of the Verdcland Park Elementary School in Layton for 15 years, retiring in 1962. He had also taught in Fayette, Sanpete County; Randolph, Rich County; Myton, Duchesne County; Tooele: and Centerville. He had been a scoutmaster for 21 years, and was a high priest in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints. Bob Drage, who had hand reimplanted, is optimistic about future. arts competition surveys concerned with the State Systems Master Plan Wednesday at 1 p.m. in the State Office Building Auditorium. Gov. Calvin L. Hampton sent a memorandum to all state agencies saying the completed surveys should be returned to the systems planning director by June 4. He said the Department of Systems Planning and Computing has been holding systems reviews for many months. To supplement them, a survey to gather additional information on agency needs and plans has been prepared. Glenn Moss dies "But its hard to place a value on somebodys right hand, he said. "Hes had more problems than we initially anticipated. But if w'e can get reasonable function back. 1 think its worth it in the end. Drage said more public education is needed so people will know how to preserve an amputated limb after an accident for reimplantation. briefing to be held of all will be briefed on how to fill out P. After the first operation There have been some other changes. After the first operation and his bout on the heavy smoker for 30 respirator, Drage,-years, gave up smoking. Now, after the second operation, he said, "1 can't even choke down a beer. it. 15 students win Representatives Educator, career. Drage is optimistic of regaining nearly percent function in his hand. "1 may not be able to operate an electric typewriter, but I flunked typing anyway," he said. But the doctor said, the hand is not going to be nearly as good as normal. We hope it will be considerably better than a hook. If we get 25 percent function well consider it a success, he said. Drage and his wife said they havent wound up with any reservations, even though Drage estimates hes had quadruple the expense and time he would have if hed simply gotten a hook. Ream admitted ther is a legitimate question whether reimplantation is worth 100 A survey state agencies Mr. Moss h Drage said in addition to the torn tendons, there was another complication when one of the bones came loose and was pivoting freely on its pin. For nine weeks he had to hold the hand motionless. "Dr. Reams vocal command was the only thing that held Charlie in place, he said. The bones have now healed well.

Lows in Firemen to spray fire retardant foam on tanker and fluids that spilled when asphalt gave way in S.L. Flammable fluids spill from tanker Flammable cleaning fluids spilled when asphalt gave way, causing a parked chemical tanker trailer to tip onto its side at 650 W. 3th South Sunday. Police closed one block of 8th South to traffic, trains were diverted from adjacent railroad tracks, and firemen covered the foam spilled solvents with while work crews pumped the liquids into another tanker and righted the one overturned at Van Waters and Rogers, a chemical sales firm. nt The tanker carried about 6,600 gallons of tolvelene and zylene, both liquid byproducts of coal tar used as cleaning fluids, said R. F. Hardy, spokesman for the Association of American Railroads Bureau of Explosives. truck, Usually pulled by a scmi-traol- Ihe trailer was parked alone parallel to tne tracks. One support towards the front sank into the ground, the tanker tipped onto its side and the liquid leaked out, forming a pooi lieside the tracks. Hardy said about half of the chemicals jxiured out. White foam was sprayed on the trader and the flammable pool. The foam reduces vaporization and also forms a barrier to help keen any possible sparks away. Battalion Chief Paul George, Salt Lake City Fire Department, said. "I was called by the fire department about. 12.65 p.m.," said J. It. Miller, uii Waters and Rogers manager. They said one of the trucks had tipped over. "I didnt believe it," he said. "This isnt supposed to happvn. hut it did. J The middle holding area ot the tanker was punctured by metal posts along the tracks, but that section was empty, officials said. Damage to the tanker and loss of the spilled chemicals may total about $10,000, Miller said. After the trailer was hoisted upright by a crane, another chemical was mixed with the spilled liquids to make it so it could be washed down to kill the fire danger, Hardy added. Bystanders occasionally lit cigarettes, but officers quickly asked them to crush them out, explaining the extreme danger of igniting the chemicals.
