on West Evans creek, Rogue
River. Mrs. Klomhaus, who
plans to remain in the valley
until October 12. will speak
in Rogue River, Grants Pass,
and Ashland while she is iri
the valley.
Dr. and Mrs. Klomhaus left
the valley in May, 1957. Dr.
Klomhaus is in charge of the
180-bed Lutheran hospital at
Mambisandi, and Mrs. Klom
haus supervises " and trains
nurses. The area where the
couple work is- about 150
miles inland west of Madang
and is reached by airplane
since there are no roads over
the mountainous terrain.
Mrs. Klomhaus was a mem
ber of the Jackson County
Public Welfare commission
prior to leaving the United
States. The Klomhauses have
been active in the Lutheran
church-Missouri' Synod - and
are members of St. Peter
Evangelical church here
The valley visitor plans to
fly to Chicago next Sunday
where she will remain until
next month. She tentatively
plans to return to Rogue
River before flying back to
New Guinea. While in Chi
cago she will visit her daugh
ter, Miss Gretchen Klomhaus
who is a nurse on the staff
of Michael Reed hospital.
Their son, Gilbert, is a stu
dent at Southern Oregon
college.
Natives Friendly
Mrs. Klomhaus, in telling
of their work in New Guinea,
reported that the natives are
friendly people and that they
enjoy working with them.
She explained that there are
three nurses from the United
States and one from Canada
on the hospital staff in addi
tion to a chaplain also from
the United States. The re
mainder of the staff are na
tives which they have trained
and added that they have
now started the school to
train nurses.
In training the natives, the
missionary explained that pa
tience is necessary. She men
tioned that the natives had
very little mechanical ability
but could learn the hospital
work quite well.
She laughingly added that
the washing machine when
operating, always draws a
crowd.
Since the hospital was com
pleted following the Klom
hauses' arrival in New Gui
nea, all of the equipment is
new, Mrs. Klomhaus report
ed, with new items' being add
ed all the time. She men
tioned that the supplies are
received from both the Unit
ed States and Australia.
The former valley resident
said that the majority of the
patients at the hospital are
treated for medical reasons
with intestinal parasites and
pneumonia as the two major
causes for hospitalization.

acquire them; and Miss Yetta

the island and that a two day
journey from the hospital
will find a tribe that speaks
a completely different lan
guage. 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.
The visitor will speak Tues
day, October 7, at the Zone

ary League Christian Growth
workshop at the Ashland
Grace Lutheran church start
ing at 8:30 a.m.
That evening at 7:30
