Skin From Lad's Leg to Mend Finger - Paul Andrlik, the 16 yr old son of
Mr. Frank Andrlik, has been a capable young machinist and a budding
radio expert and an honest one - but now he knows something about
"grafting" - and his friends hope it will mean health and happiness to
him. It
will be recalled, that an automobile, going around a corner, near the
Mercy Hospital at Bloomington and Van Buren, knocked down a telephone
pole and the big object struck Paul. It might have killed him easily,
had it struck his skull. Instead, it glancing hit his right hand.
Recent developments showed that a bone in the little finger was broken
and an operation became necessary to correct the splintered bone. To
avert permanent crippling, the surgeons have now grafted a piece of
skin from the boy's right leg on the injured digit, and it is believed
Paul will fully recover the use of the wounded member, as a result.
