Around Us lAvWl By LVnn M- Watkini Coed Recovering; Bodies of Fellow Climbers Located Boulder. Colo. - IUPB - Coed Jane Bendixon, 19, of Daven port, Iowa, the lone survivor of an attempt by three Colo rado University students to scale freezing, 14,255 -foot Long's Peak, was recovering from severe frostbite at the university hospital here Fri day. The bodies of her compan ions, David L. Jones, 18, of Webster Groves, Mo., and Prince D. Willmon, 23, of Fort Smith, Ark., were found by U.S. National Park Service rangers and expert climbers from Boulder Thursday. Jones apparently was killed by a 250-foot fall on the south face of the mountain. Will mon, who had been left in an ice cave, exhausted, while Jones and Miss Bendixson went for help, froze to death. A helicoptdr from Lowery Air Force Base at Denver will attempt today to bring the bodies off the mountain. If weather prevents the opera tion, a rescue party which camped overnight on the peak will bring them down in sleds. Closed To Climbers They started to climb Long's Peak, which is closed to mountaineers at this time of year, early Tuesday, after a snowfall. James A. Greig of Glenview, 111., who stayed be hind because he did not feel well, came off the mountain Tuesday night. He reported to rangers at Estes Park that his compan ions probably were stranded on the peak. Miss Bendixon, Jones and Willmon had spent their Easter vacations climb ing, and all were experienced mountaineers. Miss Bendixon said they got within 500 feet of the summit Tuesday, but were driven back by Icy gales. Then they realized that Will mon's hands were so frozen he could not make a rope descent, and they were in dire trouble. Miss Bendixon and Jones scooped out a protective shel ter for Willmon in the snow, and headed down the moun tain early Wednesday for help. "We decided to go two different ways down the mountain," she said. "I fell twice and bumped my head so hard I blacked out. I must have been out an hour or so." When she recovered, Miss Bendixon could not find Jones. Jones apparently tried to continue for help alone, but died in a 250-foot fall. Miss Bendixon fought her way alone down to the town of Aliens Park. She got there, exhausted and badly frost-bitten, Wednesday night. The Medical Roundup by Em.ritn. Consultant In M.dlelBt. Mayo CUM.

The willingness and ability to wait, calmly and uncomplain ingly, takes more fortitude than most humans ever ac quire. The wild creatures of the field, forest, Jungle and the plain have this worthwhile quality in amounts more fine ly developed than that of the most patient human fisher man. Someone, who probably knew little more about It than I do, said once that "patience was a strength of character" or that patience was waiting, usually in a slate of inaction, for something expected to happen. Cai and Mousa Which is exactly what the house cat docs when she sits and waits at a hole in the baseboard for the mouse. And the mouse also patiently waits in its hiding place for the cat to become discouraged and leave. Here, as in so many in stances in Nature, are two dissimilar animals, both dis playing super-patience with calmness; one hoping an event will occur, the other trusting It won't. A female spider will wait patiently on her web without moving a single muscle for a flying insect. Even though she may be hungry, she will eft dura a wait of hours or even days. A toad with unblinking eyes will calmly endure hours of complete inactivity for the approach of a bug. The frog patienlly wails on a lily pad. The dragonfly, a true creature of the air, will come to rest when the sun goes under a cloud, but will wait with forbearance for the light to come again. Snak Waits A snake, with not a single thought in its head, will wait beside a gnmetrail for the close approach of a rabbit or a mouse that may not come past until tomorrow or the day after. The blue heron stands in shallow water on a mudflat waiting for a fish The bird is never impalipnt at any delay, even though the fish may be elsewhere. The robin on the lawn cocks her head to bring her microscopic eye better In fo cus and waits for the worm, A few inches below the worm Itself instinctively waits, too each trying to out-wait the other. The lowly mollusk buried In the mud of the tidal flat never becomes nervous or Irritated because of the lateness of the incoming tide. The sluggish turtle may wait for an hour or a day. He has made no plans for tomor row anyway; he has no ap pointment for today. So he exercises unlimited patience. The owl In the old oak tree does not become angry and Impatient because the day is longer and the nights are shorter. H atcepu things as they are, not as he would want them to be. He too is a phi losopher of sorts. 1 He has learned that "lime and tide are not hurried by desires." In the every day actions of all these creatures there must be a lesson we humans could well practice. To the everlast ing credit of the wild things, It must be said that they may wait In vain, but they ac complish it with forbearance and patience.

Forrester, art In structor at the University of Oregon, arrived in Medford Friday to advise the city on the feasibility of constructing modernistic play apparatus in the city's parks. Forrester designs and su pervises the construction of various types of play apparat us and has said he will con struct some of them in Med ford parks at cost. Parks and Recreation Direc tor Robert llaworth, who is meeting with Forrester, said nothing definite has yet been decided, but if Forrester were employed to construct the ap paratus here It would be much cheaper than an outright pur chase of the equipment. Two service clubs have al ready donated money to the parks and recreation fund for the purchase of playground apparatus, and several others are considering similar contri butions, Ilaworlli said. One of those which has al ready contributed to the fund is the Moose lodge which has given $240, and the other is the Klwanis club. The Kiwan ians recently agreed to fi nance the construction of a modernistic sandbox in one of the city's parks at a .cost, not to exceed $400. . - 'll analys Ufa", mi alvakkz cure. The rug has been pulled out from un der them. I was Just reading in a release from the Nation al Association for Mental Health that a leading psycho- analyst now feels grave doubts about the validity of the theories by which he used to live. Dr. Bertram Schaff ner, President of the Wm. Al len White Society, said so honestly that he and many of his colleagues in their work now feel a lack of that sense of a firm basis of fact which is so comforting to men of science. This "gnawing" dissatisfaction, he believes, is now prevalent, although as yet seldom openly confessed. He says that many analysis realize that their theories are not satisfying; too often they do not fit the facts of their p a t i e n t s' experience. Dr. Schaffner notes that now many of the analysts, in their puzzlement, are delving into the literatures of oilier phi losophies, hoping to find somewhere something "closer to life." As a writer says in the Vir ginia Medical Monthly, It is sad, but the more scientific some of us doctors become, the less likely we are to win the affection of our patients, as many of the old horse and buggy doctors did. Going ev ery day into the homes of poor people, many general practitioners remain close to their patients, but we special ists, working in a fancy office in a great downtown building, tend to forget that many of our patients need a helpful and kindly chat with us far more than they need a bottle of medicine or an operation.
