Weather Hinders Aid to Polio
Victims in Tiny Northern Town
(Editor's Note: Nurse Sarah Vanbusklrk Is at the remote village of
St. Augustin, on the Quebeo-Laborador border, fighting an outbreak
of poliomyelitis among children. She arrived there a weel- ago by
dogsled. Following is ber story:)
By NURSE SARAH VANBUSKIRK
(As Told to United Press)
St. AuKusine. Que., Jan. 31 (U.R) I guess we were fighting the
weather almost as much as we were fighting polio in this tiny set
tlement. Weather almost impossible for planes to fly through held up
several tries by the Royal Canadian air force to get here, first
with a doctor, and later, with as
bigger plane, to evacuate some
of the sick children.
Altogether, 20 youngsters
were struck by polio from the
time I . arrived a week ago by
dogsled from Harrington Har
bor, 100 miles away, until today.
Dr. Claire Neville-Smith, an
English woman from the Har
rington Harbor Grenfell station,
and I have set up headquarters
in the village.
Although some of them appar
ently didn't know the full im
plications of infantile paralysis
the people here stayed calm all
the time. They've helped us all
they possibly can and they've
appreciative of the efforts
we've made on their behalf.
They've been particularly
swell when you realize that
most of them are very nearly
broke after five very poor fish
ing seasons. But yesterday they
got together and took up a col
lection for the patients. They
raised $120.
First news of the sickness here
was reported to the Grenfell
Mission hospital at Harrington
Harbor on January 20 by Mrs.
Clench, a mission nurse and wife
of the Indian agent stationed
here.

Norfolk, Va., Jan. 31 OP)
A news broadcast from a
small boat near the mud
bound battleship Missouri to
day interrupted its report of
salvage operations for a com
mercial.
The commercial said that
the sponsor, a transfer com
pany, probably couldn't move
the Missouri but it was ready
and able in fact would be
delighted to take care of any
other moving needs that Nor
folk civilians or navy people
might have.
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Tuesday, January 31, 1950 18
Dr. Neville-Smith and I left
Harrington Harbour on Satur
day morning. We made the trip
by dog team and mail plane.
Doctor Smith diagnosed two
cases, and arranged an emer
gency flight for one she con
sidered more serious. Then she
returned on the plane to Har
rington Harbour where she was
badly needed, leaving me to
carry on with Mrs. Clench.
That day, one of Mrs. Clench's
children became ill.
On Sunday, an RCAF plane
arrived with a doctor on board,
He examined the patients who
were showing symptoms at the
time and took one by out with
him. '(The boy died later in a
Quebec city hospital.)
By Tuesday night, the epi
demic appeared to be increasing.
Nineteen children were ill. So
we wired out to the RCAF at
Goose Bay, Labrador, for help.
But the planes couldn't get in
because of bad weather.
One 11-year-old boy, acutely
ill, did'not respond to any treat
ment and died at noon Wed

Things seem a little more un
der control now. Doctor Nev
ille-Smith came back Saturday
and is staying here with me.
Deadeye Gal Gives Boys
Something to Shoot at
By JIM BECKER
(AP Newafetturu Sports Writer)
New York Ethel Merman
may have started something
when she revived the story of
sureshot Annie Oakley in "An
nie Get Your Gun" on Broad
way. Anyway, now New York Uni
versity counts a curvaceous
brunette among its rifle team
members along with nine stal
wart men. She is Helen Loth
ringer and she answers to the
name of "Hips." Helen ranks
fifth on the strong ten -man
team although it took a special
,'vote of the boys to get her on
the squad two years ago.
A junior, Helen majors in
art. She's a demure Im
pounder. No torn boy, she
says she is "very unathletic,
mostly. Rifle shooting doesn't'
take any strength.
Helen started shooting a rifle
three years ago when she was
17 and a junior at Jamaica hign
school in Queens. "I was jealous
of the way my brother Fred
kept bringing home medals for
shooting. So I got my dad to
take me to the Woodhaven
team for instruction. Pretty
soon the Legion team asked me
to join."
For graduation from high
school, Helen got, in addition to
the usual feminine knicknacks, a
new Winchester .52 rifle. She
became so proficient with it that
she applied for membership on
the NYU team in her sophomore
year, the earliest season she was
eligible.
The boys voted her in, al
though they were fearful of
having to tame down pungent
conversation. Helen solved that
difficulty "by employing some
fiavorsome expressions, myself."
Being a girl on an otherwise
all-man rifle team has occasion
al drawbacks, however, as Helen
found when NYU faced. Army in
a match at West Point. "I had
a miserable time," she says.
"They wouldn't let me into
Washington Hall for lunch with
the team. I had to wait out
side in the hall while they ate.
I had no lunch at all." The

University of Oregon, Eu

league conference will bring
high school representatives
from all parts of t'2 state to
the University of Oregon cam
pus February 24 and 25. Theme
of the conference will center on
Will Present United States
Foreign Policy Promote Peace

The annual meetings are
sponsored by the Oregon Edu
cation association in coopera
tion with the University of Ore

division of the Oregon state sys
tem of higher education.

the league. Other officers are
Marilyn Bush of Forest Grove,
vice-president; Janet Lane, Eu

Jack Holstead, Medford, historian.
The purpose of the league is
to further interest in and de
velop intelligent understanding
of international relations by
educational means.
John F. Gange, director of the
Woodrow Wilson School of For
eign Affairs, and Mrs. Grace
Bok Holmes, liaison officer for
the United Nations Internation
al Children's Emergency Fund
are the main speakers for the
conference.

woman tradition.
The NYU team competes in
the Metropolitan Intercollegiate
Rifle Association and averages
275 hits out of 300. Helen per
snaliy holds 50 medals for shoot
ting, has two national women's
records and is rated a master
marksman by the National Rifle
Association.
Much as Helen enjoys shoot
ing, she says she is beginning
to "realize there are other things
in the world. Once. I wouldn't
date a boy unless he was a
shooter, too. I've changed my
mind about that."
And despite her deadeye
marksmanship, Helen says "I'd
never have the heart to shoot
a sweet little deer."
Person Afraid of Responsibility
Probably Is Mentally III
By PAUL F. ELLIS
(United Preu Selene Editor)
New Haven. Conn.. Jan. 31 (UR A Yale university scientist
said today that a person who is afraid of failure and refuses to
accept important responsibility probably is mentally ill.
Dr. Leo W. Simmons, associate protessor oi sociology, saia a
person so "loaded down" witn amDiuons inai cannoi De iuuiuea
"is also in line to Decoming a
mental case. A third type, he
said, is the man with a fixed
idea that interferes with his
capacity to do the jobs at hand
"Mental illness takes many
forms," he said, "but wastage of
life and effort is a common
characteristic.
'One of the very important
lessons that came out of the war
experience, is that most so-call
ed normal persons will tend to
break down under sufficiently
severe and prolonged stress and
strain."
Simmons said there are some
70,000 patients in the hospitals
who "are suffering from mental
disease, mental defects or epi
lepsy."
On any day a little over half
of si! the hospital beds, public
and private, in this country are
filled with mental patients," he
said. "It is estimated that at
least 1,000,000 others are sick
enough to need hospital care.
Experts also claim that probably
8,000,000 more should be re
ceiving some psychiatric guid
ance and treatment." '
He said that 10,000 additional
trained psychiatrists are needed
in the country. Generally, he
said, psychiatrists are out of
reach of many persons who need
them. That is, they are located
in or near a few hospitals or
medical centers in large cities.
"During the war," he said,
there was a necessary neglect
of routine care of mental cases,
and these have piled up. There
are large numbers of ex-service
men and women with 'unseen
war wounds who are now men
tally or emotionally disabled
There are more than a million
chronic alcoholics, some develop
ing within a setting of wars
stress."
The "miracle drugs" are con
tributing indirectly to the in
creasing number of mental cases,
he said. The drugs are keeping
alive more disabled persons who
because of their longer life
"will develop mental and emo
tional problems and need expert
care."
