State Invites Latvian Eye
Specialist to Take Job
By WILLIAM W A It KEN
(United Prm Staff CorrMPondnit .
The state of Oregon today extended a long-distance welcome
and invitation to Dr. K. Apinis, Latvian eye specialist and gen
eran practitioner who was displaced from his native Latvia first
by the Russians nd then by the Germans.
4 The State of Oregon wants
I Dr. Apinis, now working as a
civilian with the American
army of occupation in Germany,
to go to work for it at the east
ern Orogon State hospital.
Dr. Donald Wair, superinten
dent of the Pendleton institu
tion, wrote to the board of con
trol, asking its approval of his
wish to hire Dr. Apinis. He ex
plained that the hospital is short
of medical help at this time, and
it is difficult to get needed per
sonnel at state pay. Dr. Apinis
wants to come. He has applied
for the post.
The board of control made
up of the state's top executives
gave its hearty approval alter
hearing of the hospital's need
for more medical help and the
many qualifications of Dr.
Apinis.
Said Gov. Douglas McKay:
"Let's grab him if we can
Said state Treasurer Walter
J. Pearson: "We should get him
by all means if he can get in
under the quota.
Dr. Apinis received his train
ing at the Universjty of Latvia,
Later, after a general practice
in isolated rural areas of his
country, he returned to his uni
versity to become lecturer, pro
fessor and dean ol the faculty
of medicine until the Russians
and then the Germans moved in
and he had to move out.
Dr. Wair, in his letter to the
board, pointed out that while
patients at the eastern Oregon
hospital are primarily there for
treatment of mental illness, they
are also subject to all the ail
ments suffered by others. Right
now there is lack of arrange
ment for an eye specialist at the
institution, as well as a shortage
of doctors on the staff. As Dr
Wair pointed out, in employing
Dr. Apinis, the state would be
getting a general practitioner
who at the same time is an eye
specialist.
As for the Immigration quota.
it is understood that Dr. Apinis
and his wife would be brought
in as displaced persons. The
reason for the long distance em
ployment overtures is that the
Latvian doctor and his wife
must be assured of means of
support before they can be
brought in.
Dr. Wair will write to Dr
Dr. Bellinger to
Speak at Dinner

perintendent of the Oregon

State to War on
ruce Budworm
Sp
The state board of control

to let the state forestry depart
ment begin its war on the
Spruce Budworm, which
threatening to destroy a big
part of Oregon's forests.

gallons of DDT insecticide.

The budworm's main place of
business is In the forests east of

A nanpl discussion will be I
Apinis offering him the Pendle
ton post, with its modest salary
and a small apartment for him
and his wife.
So, when the Latvian doctor
and his wife are able to enter
this country as displaced per
sons, he will find a job waiting
for him at Pendleton. The State
of Oregon is eager to welcome
him. Another good medical man
is needed at the eastern Oregon
hospital. And it isn't often you
can pick up a general practition
er and an eye specialist for the
price of one.

come with the closing of the

Siskiyou weather stations, ac
cording to Oregon Air News, the
second number published by
the state board of aeronautics
with W. M. (Jack) Bartlett di
rector of the board and George
Douglas, editor.
Petitions have been sent to
the department of commerce
asking that the weather stations
be re-established as they are key
stations in both north and south
air travel, especially Chemult in
marginal weather. Both areas
frequently close In when good
contact weather is reported on
both sides.
The Oregon Air News calls
attention to Myron Davis, Mill
City, who plans an air marker
there which will direct the air
traveler to his new airport now
nearly completed. The airport.
which he calls after his name,
is located at the gateway to the
new Detroit dam.
Additional aviation news per
taining to Oregon air activities
is given, including a list of com
ing events to which air visitors
are invited, including the Salem
Cherry festival June 30 to July

interpretation of the signals are
also given, together with the
correct manner of using aircraft
radio.
