The Chemawa American 3 COURTESY CAPITAL JOURNAL "Against a Background of Snow-capped Mt. Hood" HOSPITAL NEWS Miss Georgianna Smith, dental as sistant, returned Feb. 15 from an assignment at Tacoma Indian hospi tal where she had been detailed while we awaited the arrival of Dr. Poone, the recently assigned dentist. Dr. J. Moreland, of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat clinic has visited our school three times this year to examine childrens' eyes for tra choma. Those needing treatment weie given the ten days of sufa- therapy. It is gratifying to see the results on the treated cases. Litera ture concerning the disease and the treatment has been given to the entire staff. The State Board of Health Mobile Unit visited here Feb. 11 and 12: 587 students and 82 employees were X- rayed. Follow-up work will soon be completed. There are fewer suspects this year than in previous years. Miss Jackson, audiometrist, from Marion County health department tested the hearing of the students during the week of Feb. 9-13. Forty children were found to have defec tive hearing. Arrangements are be ing made to have an otomologist examine these students. S.x boys ranging from 8 to 12 had a T and A done at Tacoma on March 3, 1953. Mrs. Nopp, staff nurse, took the boys to Tacoma and while there visited Casimer An- drews, Eleanor Wauneka and Louise Nez. Eleanor will return to Chemawa soon after having had some plastic surgery done. Marie Runningwolf underwent major surgery at Tacoma. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Run ningwolf, from Heart Butte, Mont , visited her while she was there. The hospital census continues to be lower than during other years. It is easier to prevent than to treat. We seem to have an unusually healthy group of students this year. Dr. Anthony Lalli, of Akron, Ohio, left Saturday, March 21, to return to his studies at the University of Chi cago. He has been assisting Dr. Stone at the hospital since Decem ber. Dr. Lalli will complete his medical course at the university in another year. THE REIFELS TRANSFER Mr. and Mrs. George Reifel were guests at an All-Employee party sponsored by ihe F.E.U., Thursday, March 19, at the Employees club. The Reifels will leave April 1, for Telihina, Oklahoma, where they have accepted a transfer. Mrs. Reifel was head matron at McBride dormi tory, and Mr. Reifel was a shop in structor in the Navajo department. The FEU "committee of the month" was in charge of the party. After a routine business meeting, the Reifels were presented a gift from the em ployees—a token of the esteem their fellow employees have for them. Superintendent Bramlet entertained the group with slides of pictures he had taken during his years in the South Pacific. Pie and coffee were served by the committee. The sincere wishes of Chemawa students and employees go with the Reifels that they may find happiness in their new location.
