far, E.S.A. has donated
$1,000,000 to the hospital and
now hopes to raise a second
million in the next couple of
years.
Much of the research being
done on cancer in children is
being conducted at St. Jude's,
which is the largest childhood
research hospital in the world.
Since opening in 1962, St.
course set
slopes, hunting or fishing
trips, backpacking, mountain
climbing and other recrea
tional pursuits.
Forty-nine persons died in
Oregon last year in outdoor
emergency situations where
survival methods were critic
al. Primary purpose of the
OMSI Survival is to train
individuals in proven survival
methods and techniques. The
course will cover the physio
logical and psychological as
pects of survival such as the
acceptance and control of fear
to forestall panic, signaling
for rescue, weather consider
ations, food, treatment of
injuries, and other teachable
skills aimed at staying alive in
an outdoor emergency.
OMSI Survival program is
offered under the auspices of
the Oregon Division of Emer
gency Services and in co
operation with the Civil Pre
paredness Education program
of the Oregon Department of
Education.
Coming to Heppner for the
course instruction will be
Duncan Eader, principal sur
vival instructor for OMSI.
Eader has been with OMSI for
more than two years. He has
instructed in Alaska with the
Oregon National Guard in cold
weather survival, mountain
eering and inland river nego
tiation. He is a graduate of the U.S.
Navy cold weather survival
school and has taught survival
courses throughout Oregon.
Another well known surviv
al expert may accompany
Eader. Cal Burt, a member of
the OMSI arctic expedition
and author of several wil
derness survival publications
is one of the possible team
members for the Heppner
course. Burt has been in the
survival business for about 20
years.
