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.

Wild Creatures Play
The Waiting Gam
A virtue which the average
motorist is pitifully short of,
and the fisherman has a super
abundance of, is patience.
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.

Play Apparatus
Being Considered
Charles H. 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.

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.
