(By Erwin FrlckeI

SASKATOON, June 1s- (CP)— “Notico ths absence of blood in this type of operation." laid the voice from the loudspeaker. More than 400 Canadian doctors, sitting comfortably and without straining could sec what the voice was talk- ing about. ' ~

The doctors, attending the 80th annual meeting of the Canadian Medical Association, today witness- ed the first two medical operations to be televised in Canada.

Operations were performed in Saskatoon City Hospital while doc- tors saw them with stcp-by-step narration on television screens in their convention hotel 10 blocks away.

Dr. R. I. Harris, associs e pro- fessor of surgery at the University of Toronto, said television has "fas- cinating possibilities in all the fields of medicine."

In one of today's operations-the removal of a bone from the end of a pstienfs spine—Dr. Harris gave a step-by-stcp description from the operating room. The operation took about one hour.

Most doctors said they were sur- prised at the clear blsck-and-whito picture. Nearly the entire program was centred on the small square- foot section of the patienfs body which was under surgery. Two doc- tors’ wives were reported to have fainted while watching the per- formance. -

The second operation involved attaching an artificial eye to eye muscles to give the eye a natural look because of complete mobility. s er

operation on a patient born with a defect cf the spine, s gall bladder removal and the removal of a pros- tate gland, . _ - ,

Dr. Harris said television would be helpful at conferences where doctors "are trying to review as quickly as they can the advance in surgery and medicine."

Dr. H. D. Roberts of St. John's. Nfld., said television would be es- pecially helpful in medical student and post-graduate training as a method of conveying operative technique.

When she reached safety she found that the boy had not come down and was still up- stairs in the burning building.

Mrs. Mabey then rushed to the barn and called her husband who was unaware of the fire. I-le hur- ried to the house and from out- side called the boy to s window and told him to break the glass, jump out and his father would catch him.
