Retire J urqeon JPubliskes Book Here In Eugene there lives a quiet man of medicine, retired from his calling after an ex tremely busy career, who has turned to writing as an avoca tion. Recently he has had a book published and what is es pecially interesting, it has been published in Eugene. "Unforgettable Events" is the title of the modest eighty page volume by Eric P. Quain, M.D., of 1491 Agate Street. It was published by the Valley Printing Co. Dr. Quain has an interesting background. Most knowledge of it is gained from perusal of "Who's Who In America," for he follows the principles of medical ethics and talks little of himself. He was forty years in practice at Bismarck, N.D., and organized there the Quain and Ramstad Clinic which grew to be second in size only to Mayo's. He served as its chief of staff until 1939. A fellow in the Am erican College of Surgeons, he is a member of the founders' group of the American Board of Surgeons. During World War I he served as a medical officer' with the American Expedition ary Forces, with rank of lieu tenant colonel. He organized a medical unit, Base Hospital No. 60. He now is inactive, save as a medical consultant. The book, title of which is paraphrased from the Readers Digest feature, "Most Unforget table Character" tells a series of remembrances taken from his full life. It begins with his childhood In Sweden, and tells graphically of life in the north ern clime as it was prior to the turn of the century. Methods of hunting and the way of life generally will be fresh and new to most readers; the legend -of "Necken." the evil spirit of the deep waters, is introduced. Men will line ine cnotiii .....j deal with hunting of moose and cnapiers wmtu other outdoor endeavors. The writer is an ardent sportsman indeed, his choice of Eugene as a home, whence he came in 1940, was due to the excellent fishing and hunting hereabouts at the time! The chapters tell of his com ing to America, a youth of 18, and some of his early experi ences in medical practice. A sad one deals with the death of his younger brother who followed him to this land death due to ruptured appendix, which led the elder brother to make a de termined study of this then little-known ailment. One feels, after reading the too-short chapters that the surgeon-author has another book, perhaps several, within his memory; his life undoubtedly would furnish a wealth of "ma terial as rich as the "unforget table events" he has deligned. This volume was written pri marily for his children, he ex plains, but in publishing the number wanted, it was as easy to make extras, and so a few will be available. Adding much to the charm of the book are illustrations, primi tive in type but well done, by the writer's wife. Mrs. Qualn was for many years a surgical nurse in the doctor's clinic; she had never studied drawing, but her sketches show she has en tered into the spirit of the tales. Her husband relates with pride that in her term of professional service she prepared as many as 27,000 cases for surgery; sounds like a record. The Quains share a love of the outdoors, as well as their hospital background; they also enjoy gardening in their small plot, where the doctor conducts a little experimental station in horticulture.

Speaking to about fifty members and guests, Dr. Horn gave an interesting biographical discus sion of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough. The speaker has several panegyrics on Marlbor ough, so that by drawing from his vast fund of information, the talk was more than a life story of the Duke and Duchess. Eighteenth-century England, with its rise and fall of publications, and political pressures amount ing to practically a time of social revolution, was described. The Duke of Marlborough ws born a commoner, John Church hill, son of Winston Churchhill in 1650. Due to his singular tact and diplomatic skill in the management of men, he made a rapid rise. In recognition of his brilliant exploits in battle, he was made the first Duke of Marlborough in 1702. He was the leader-warrior- king type of man, conspicuous for his calmness and careful attention to details in the hottest moments of the fight. The Duchess Sarah was his di rect opposite. She was highly ex citable and impetuous, to her is credited considerable share in the rise and fall of Marlborough. In the speaker's words, "To know the Duchess in an educa tion". In conclusion, Dr. Horn said thst protestant England is Marlborough's vindication, using the word "protestant" in t h e sense of "to protest." mrtcm ttAVJifuu VENETIAN BLINDS by Sunblend Prompt Bervtce, Quality Materials and Workmanship Throughout FREE ESTIMATES GLADLY No Obhutlon bnbUntj VtMtlM Vki C prone tm Manufacturers 2735 Elver Id. J studied Spanish and attended lectures on the campus since coming here. The doctor is quite a linguist, whnt with his native Swedish and the Norwegian his father and mother spoke at home; English learned here, and Latin for medicine; German, when he studied abroad, and French during the war; Esper anto added, for good measure, and now Spanish. Altogether, meeting the Quains in itself becomes an "unforget table event!"
