In describing the area where the hospital is located, Mrs. Klomhaus commented that the elevation is 5400 feet which makes the vegetation completely different from the areas along the coast, a IV2 hour flight away. The trees, she explained, reminded her of jack pine and reported that they have two seasons, wet and dry. The wet season is the winter, she said, when it usually rains every afternoon and night. During the dry spells it may not rain for a month, but she mentioned that it was more comfortable when it rained oftener. Their garden includes such plants as pineapple, bananas and soy beans as well as other garden vegetables, she said, and added that coffee could be grown there al though they had not tried it. In describing New Guinea, Mrs. Klomhaus said that it was an island of extremes since the elevation varies from sea-level to 15,000 feet. This also means that the rain fall varies from less than 15 inches in some areas to more than 300 in others. Jeep Is Ambulance She stated that the air strip 4l is approximately two miles from the hospital and they either walk, drive a jeep or ride motor bikes for transpor tation. There are approxi mately 25 miles of hand built roads in the immediate vicin ity of the hospital. The roads, quite steep, require four wheel drive vehicles, she ex plained, and in many cases it is easier to walk. The jeep is also used for an ambulance.
