By the end of January, Keith's weight was up to slightly more than 7 pounds and Mellish performed additional surgery on the boy's intestines. Duell said the operation was successful but "his healing power was very, very popped every stitch and he was rushed back to surgery and they sewed it all back up." Ten days ago, the intravenous tubes that had been helping carry nourishment to Keith's tiny body since he arrived in Burlinton were removed. He lost a half-pound, then started gaining again the middle of last week, Duell said, so he is able to go home today. Keith faces additional surgery in "This is a wonderful are a lot of good nurses.

They're all good up here. They're good to the parents, too. Very helpful," Duell said. And, he said, "Dr. Mellish has really had patience with him." Duell said he is also surprised that Keith's illness has not seemed to slow him down.

The boy is doing all the things one normally expects of a 4-month-old baby. "He's socially well-developed," said a nurse who overheard DuelFs comment. And Duell said, "Even when he was very sick, if he could open his eyes, he'd "When he came from the operating room, you'd have expected him to be out. But he was kicking and crying. "He had a lot of strength in him." day." And sometimes the family would come over after work on weeknights.

Devout Catholics, the Duells said "a lot of prayers" helped ease their worries. And Mrs. Duell said having three other children to care for helped keep her from dwelling on Keith's problems. The other children Lisa, Laurie, 4, and Chad, 3 would sometimes come to the Medical Center Hospital to visit their little brother. "The best thing that helped us was my mother (Theresa Duell)," Duell said.

She was ready and willing to look after the three children any time her son and daughter-in-law wanted to go to Burlington, he said. Duell said he is surprised that Keith recognizes his parents despite his long stay at the hospital Railroad Now Just Creeping 18 to 24 months to have his intestinal tract restored and the il-iostomy removed, Duell said. But in the meantime he and Mrs. Duell, 22, will be happy to have their fourth child home again. The past four months have not been easy for the employee at a Plattsburgh wholesale grocery firm and his wife.

"A lot of times we'd just sit home and cry and cry," Duell said. "When we came over here, the doctor told us, 'He's critical. He's going to surgery. We don't know if he's coming Duell said, "It's been hard all over, including financially." Insurance had covered most of the costs, though, he said. "We came over every Saturday.

Sometimes we'd come over on Sundays, too. We'd call every day, sometimes three or four times a cars were down to 19. Twin State Sand and Gravel, which shipped 257 cars in 1974, stopped altogether in 1978, followed by Webster, which shipped 229 cars in 1975. Rock of Ages quarry shipped 30 carloads in 1979, compared to 95 in 1974. In short, the 1,458 carloads of 1974 had dwindled to less than 400 in 1979 a more than 70 percent decline.

"Everything I have in the record indicates it's a downhill deal," Boy-Ian said. Still, the Transportation Agency, and therefore Gov. Richard Snel-ling, support the purchase. Allen, Calmont and several granite firms, have pledged funding. The agency's Merchant admits at least 300,000 must be added to the price of the line, because certain repairs and maintenance are needed.

He said the purchase would be an investment in the future. The agency and the shippers, themselves, Last month Ms. Brightstar legally changed her name to something other than her maiden name. "Going back to Dudley meant going back to when I was a child and was dependent on a family," she said. "Brightstar sort of depicted the way I feel," she said.

"I'm more enlightened about myself." She turned her family name into a middle name. She said she was glad to give up Martin because she hated being called Mrs. Martin when she was no longer anyone's "missus." Ms. Brightstar said she picked Brightstar because of her family's possible link to a New England Indian tribe. A native of Rutland, she said her father often talked about the family's Indian heritage.

In exchange for a painting, the Swanton Indian Council agreed to trace the family genealogy, said Ms. Brightstar, who works as a medical secretary and paints as a hobby. She chose Brightstar after a friend used it as a nickname. The name belonged to an Indian woman who possessed pyschic skills similar to her own, Ms. Brightstar said.

The name had a special meaning. Response to the name change was "great," Ms. Brightstar said. "People said it fit me. "My parents at first joked about it.

But on Valentine's Day my mother sent me a card with my new name." Some women will not give up their married names after a divorce. Diane Bane said she kept her husband's name because she disliked her maiden name, Whit-temore. Going back to her original family name would have been a step backward, she said. Deciding what to do about one's name takes a great deal of thought, according to people who have changed their names. From Page 1 William Conway said his department does not care what name a person uses, provided the person does not change his or her name to escape a legal obligation.

The attorney general's opinion also said a mother can name and rename her child, which has caused some confusion in town clerks' of- fices, Walter Cooly of the Vermont Health Department said. The law says a change of name after a newborn's first six months must be handled through the Probate Court. "But what's not so clear is what happens during the first six months," Cooley said. Within the first six months, corrections can be made and omissions filled on a child's birth certificate. Although not all town clerks agree, Ms.

Kellett recommends that a mother wishing to change her baby's name go through Probate Court. Reasons for changing a name vary. Ms. Kellett said a man tried to change his name to Andrew Johnson because he greatly admired Abraham Lincoln's vice president. The man did not pay the probate fee, so he did not get a new name, she said.

A man who would not let his new or old name be used said he changed his name because he was subjected to acrimonious behavior by others. People with lengthy European names often shorten or Anglicize them, Ms. Kellett said. For Deanna Lou Dudley Bright-star, a new name marked a new episode in her life. Ms.

Brightstar, a South Burlington woman in her mid-30s, said she kept her married name, Martin, for many years after her divorce because she did not think her children would understand the name change until they turned 18.

"There are very few instances now where shippers are captive to rail transport," he said. The purchase also is billed as an investment in the region's economic development. The appeal of a Barre industrial park, for example, could be enhanced by the presence of rail transport. State purchase of a railroad is not new. In 1963 the state bought the Rutland Railroad, which Merchant said has worked out well.

The 1973 purchase of the St. Johnsbury Lamoille County line has not yet had the same success. Merchant, who wrote the House bill for the Transportation Committee, believes it may be more attractive to lawmakers than its Senate counterpart.

They tend to clog with debris or blood and leave the patient open to infection.

The early Numoto sensor was developed about 15 years ago with the collaboration of Ladd and Dr. Donaghy. Ladd began marketing it and making improvements, but sales were slow. Ladd's marketing chief, John Arnott, said the sudden increase in Reyes Syndrome and medical papers by neurosurgeons who used the Ladd monitor have boosted sales dramatically, especially in the last few weeks. "We sold about 40 or so three years ago," Arnott said, "but in February alone we received more than 40 orders." The company is three months behind in delivery dates, and Ladd plans to hire more workers for the delicate work of assembling the fiber optic sensors.

Ladd, a Canadian-born mechanical whiz, was involved in developing the first electron microscope in Toronto in 1939. He designed and built the second one, which he brought to the United States in 1941. With his wife, Margaret, he formed Ladd Research Laboratories in 1955 to manufacture and sell tools used for electron microscope laboratories. Three years ago they formed Ladd Engineering, which Ladd runs. His wife is chief executive of Ladd Research, which markets products of Ladd Medical worldwide.

At the Medical Center Hospital in Burlington, Dr. Henry H. Schmidek has succeeded Donaghy as chief of neurosurgery. Donaghy has gone into semiretirement. Schmidek treated the Italian skier Leonardo David for a head injury and the 15-year-old Sicilian Maurizio Calio, who was shot in the neck last year.

He said the value of Prof. Dellin Dies Professor Lubomir A.D. Dellin, 59, of South Burlington, former chairman of the department of economics and head of the Russian and East European program at the University of Vermont, died Sunday morning of cancer. Dellin was born in Sofia, DELUN Bulgaria, and came to the United States in 1920. He has been affiliated with UVM since 1957.

He was former director of Area and International Studies and was affiliated with the University of Munich, Germany, as a Fulbrlght scholar during a sabbatical in 1967. He was also vice president of the Bulgarian Studies Association of the American Association for the Ad the Ladd sensor has to be put into perspective. The Medical Center Hospital has a strict regimen for treating head injuries and the scattered cases of Reyes Syndrome seen at the hospital, none of which has been fatal. Every patient in coma is X-rayed by the ultramodern CAT Scan to reveal the problem and to determine the treatment needed to save the patient's life. The sensor is part of the overall diagnostic system, Schmidek said.

The important thing is to determine why brain pressure has risen and then determine what to do about it. The Ladd sensor is better than the other two monitoring systems, but it ranks third in use around the country. Because the Medical Center Hospital sees 20 or 30 massive head injuries a year, mostly from motorcycle and auto accidents, Schmidek said he wants to work with Ladd to develop a better helmet, specifically for motorcyclists and bicyclists. A helmet that absorbs shock better than the rigid ones now commonly in use would reduce serious head injures, Schmidek believes. Ladd and Schmidek have conferred on improving the sensor, which Ladd believes will supplant the older pressure monitoring devices.

"The simplicity of this sensor makes it great for community hospitals. Most of our orders are coming from smaller hospitals," Ladd said. Setting It Straight Census Bureau The U.S. Census Bureau is at 57 Maple Burlington. The location was incorrect in a story in Sunday's paper.
