New Kidney Stone Extraction Technique at Duke University
The piece describes a new method for removing kidney stones using a concentrated blood solution injected into the kidney, causing stones to be pulled out through a small incision as the solution clots after about 30 seconds. It claims advantages over the traditional forceps method, with most cases suitable for the new technique and only five quarts of blood needed per operation.

Fort Garry Horse tank crews from Winnipeg earned battlefield honors on D Day and in the early Normandy fighting with Maj. J. A. Meindel and Maj. Roy Bray commanding squads. They supported infantry, breached coastal defenses, and drove inland to Agueray, linking with Le Regiment de la Chaudiere. Major Meindel was wounded, and Captain Alex Christian led troops in Tailleville before turning inland with Bray’s unit. Strong action at Bernieres, St. Aubin, and near an 88 mm battery helped the Canadians push toward inland objectives.

Ottawa June 29 M J Coldwell CCF leader attacks the 1944 45 budget for giving concessions to vested interests while denying tax relief for low incomes.

He criticizes postwar financial policy and urges public investment to maintain full employment and curb inflation.
