medical science. A 25-year-old railroad
construction foreman in Vermont named
Phineas P. Girge was in charge ofblast-
ing through a mountaineous region for
laying down a new railroad line.
The routine was simple: drill a long
hole into the rock, fill it partially full
with explosive powder, then cover the
powder with sand. Atamping iron was
next used to pound down on the sand,
cqnsolidating the charge. Finally, a fuse
would be lit to detonate the explosion.
On that fateful'day, everything was go-
ing as planned. The long hollow hole
had been drilled, the explosive powder
was put in the hole, but someone forgot
to put in the sand. Phineas began tamp'
ing directing over the powder. A spark
flew and ignitedthe powder and apow-
erful explosion and blast came forth
ftom the hole.
The l3-pound tamping iron, about
I inch thick and 3 feet long, was hurled
directly at him. With the force of amis-
sile, fhe iron went under his left cheek-
bone, behind his left eye, through his
brain, and then out again.
Amazingly, the traumatic accident
did not kill Phineas. In fact, he lived
for another 13 years and had regained
nearly all of his physical strength. He
seemed just as mentally intelligent, he
could speak and physically work just
as well, and his rnemory was just as
sharp. However, this accident did cost frontal' lobe. It is the part of our brain

 (A True Story, cont from pg. 1)
Thebrain is divided into sev-
eral sections, or lobes. Each lobe
has specific functions. The fron-
tal lobe behind the forehead is the
largest lobe of the brain. It is the
seat ofjudgment, reasoningo in-
tellect, and the will. It is the place
of spirituality and morality that
makes up the character of man.
Therefore, a person with a dam-
aged frontal lobe may look the
same as they always did, but if
you interact with them, it is usu-
ally apparent that they are 'Just
not the same."

ffi Frontal Lobotomy

In the late 1800s psychia-
trists began using a surgical pro-
cedure called a "frontal lo-
botomy" (literally meaning re-
moval of the frontal lobe). Al-
though sometimes a portion of
the lobe was physically removed,
at other times it was "function-
ally" removed by severing its
nerve connections.
The operation initially was
used on people who were vio-
lently or criminally insane. The
practice of frontal lobotomies be-
came increasingly popular in the
1930s and 1940s. However, today
this operation is rdrely used.

that she had struggled with for

cedure there were striking
changes in her interests, attitude,
work performance, and integrity.
It was obvious that Patricia was
a different person.
Before the lobotomy, Patricia
was dn extremely efficient oper-

Sophisticated brain scans functians in

patients may have a 60 percent re-

In working with depressed pa-

frontal lobe, blood flow to that
area will increase, and the depres-

When it comes to appetite

very important role. In fact, the

concerns in academic circles is
that the TV viewer's interest in
reading is markedly reduced.
Children who spend many hours
each day watching TV tend to be
poor readers. The result has been
a consistent decline in the aver-
age reading skills ofouryouth
since TV began to be influential
in the 1950's.
Television also encourages
poor lifestyle habits. Ifyou view
a few children's programs, you
will notice that a variety of
