Epilepsy Victim More
Handicapped by Attitudes
Portland-'Epilepsy is the
" only common disorder in
which the victim is more han
dicapped by the attitudes of
society than by his disability,"
according to Richard Braman,
president of the Epilepsy
League of Oregon.
"Epilepsy is one of the old-
est disorders known to man,"
Braman continued.
' In recent years doctors
"have learned much about
epilepsy and how to treat it.
The epileptic seizure is only
a sign of what is wrong. The
: trouble is an irritation of
some of the nerve cells, or
"neurons" of the brain. The
irritated cells can be com
pared to a gun with a sensi
tive trigger, for it lakes only
a slight impulse to stimulate
them. The resulting seizure
has been likened to a tem
porary electrical storm in the
train, .tsraman sam.
One in Every Hundred
It is known that epilepsy
affects at least one person in
every hundred, which makes
' it about as common as dia
betes, and, like diabetes, it
can be treated. Non-habit
forming drugs can control, or
dramatically reduce, seizures
in eight out of ten cases.
Hence most epileptics can at
. tend school in regular classes,
get and hold productive jobs,
marrv and have children.
But, if the epileptic is to
'have an opportunity to lead
a normal life, teachers, cm
Dlovers and co-workers, as
well as family and friends
must have up to dale knowl--edee
and understanding of
his disorder, Braman noted,
Education about the true
nature of epilepsy is the pri
mary objective of the Epilep
sy Leaeue of Oregon, located
at 317 SW Alder St., Portland
Through use of films, pan
'phlets, exhibits and speakers,
it provides information to dis-
Del the stigma and misunder
standing long associated with
'the disorder
The League also serves as
a center of information about
community sources of direct
service to epileptics and their
families. It is approved by
the Oregon State Medical So
ciety, and is financed pri
marily by the annual United
Good Neighbor campaign in
the greater Portland area.
However, its services are
available to individuals and
groups throughout the state.
Interested persons help
support the League's work by
paying two dollar annual
membership fees which
elude a subscription to the
bi-monthly bulletin "Epilepsy
Speaks. Mrs. Charles Mans
field is the executive director.
Eastern Oregon Air Crash Survivor Fulfills Promise
Kresno, Calif. - OJPD - When
Pat Davis glides on the dance
floor, walks along the golf
links ur dips into a swim
ming pool, she is fulfilling a
promise she made five years
ago in Oregon.
Pat, sn attractive blonde.
vowed to resume these activi
ties after suffering severe
frostbite injuries while wait
ing three days for rescue on
a snow-covered mountain fol
lowing a plane crash. She
lost the left leg below the
knee and has only a grafted
3'i-lnch section of her right
foot.
A small aircraft, piloted by
her husband, band leader
Bruce Davis, crashed during
a snow storm in four feet of
snow at the 6,200 foot eleva
tion on Mt. Aldrich in Cen
tral Oregon. The couple was
en route from Fresno to Spo
kane.
Pat suffered a fractured
pelvis, severe bruises and
abrasions. Her husband was
forced to leave her to seek
help.
Davis made a lean-to and
bundled her in spare clothing.
He struggled 25 miles through
the deep snow drifts to the
nearest community although
he suffered two broken ribs
in the crash.
1 don't remember much,
Pat says of her rescue wait.
"I laughed, I sang, I talked
to myself, I cried and I pray
ed a little."
An Air Force helicopter re
moved her to a John Day,
Ore., hospital where she spent
three months.
Altogether, Pat has had 14
operations on her legs since
the crash. Her hands also
were frozen while on the
mountain and the feeling only
came back completely 18
months ago.
But the spunky 40-year-old
mother of two teen-age chil
dren has refused to become
discouraged despite the almost
constant pain.
"There is no middle road
with me - I can be happy or
get depressed - and I like it
better smiling through," she
says.
Naturally, her injuries have
required a change in the style
of her activities
"When I swim I have to
scoot out into the water and
scoot back," she explains. "All
the movement has to be done
with the arms
In dancing, Pat, who limps
slightly, has to move with
the pressure on the heel of
her right foot. However, she
has danced the twist with her
husband at a motel where his
band performs.
Although the aerial accident
was frightening, Pat hasn't
grounded herself. The Davises
have purchased two aircraft
since the crash and Pat often
takes the controls during
flights.
A 3
HOT CAR
Ventura, Calif, -UPll- Salva.
dor Valdiva had the hottest
car in town Wednesday. Val
diva, 45, escaped uninjured
when his sports car caught
fire, but the heat melted the
car's fiberglass body.
4-H GOES URBAN
Cricago UPI Four-H clubs
are moving into towns and
cities. Nearly two of every
five members now live in a
city. Only one of every two
lives on a farm, the National
4-H Service committee reports.
Korean Conflict Vets
Eligible for Dividend
Portland-About 1,700 Ko
rea Conflict veterans in Ore
gon have about five months
remaining in which to take
advantage of approximately
$198,000 in special insurance
dividends to be paid to those
exchanging "RS" term insur
ance policies for policies bear
ing the letter "W."
This special dividend offer
expires Sept. 13, according
to R. J. Novotny, manager of
the Veterans administration
regional office, Portland.
It applies only to Korean
Conflict veterans whose in
surance policy number is pre
ceded by the letter "RS." No
other government life insur
ance policyholders are eligi
ble. To get his dividend, the
"RS" policyholder must ei
ther: 1. Exchange his "RS" term
policy for a "W" term policy
at, generally, only one-third
of the cost he is now paying
Although the term cannot be
renewed after age 50, pro
tection can be continued by
converting to a low-cost per
manent plan insurance policy
at any time while the term
is in force.
2. Convert the "RS" policy
to a low-cost "W" permanent
plan insurance policy now.
If the "RS" policyholder
takes either of these steps on
or before Sept. 13, he will
receive his special dividend.
The dividends average about
$100, depending upon the age
of the policyholder and the
length of time h,e has held
his policy, Novotny said.
About 5,300 Korea Conflict
policyholders in Oregon have
already changed their "RS"
policies to "W" policies. Ap-
proximatcly $418,000 has
been distributed to them in
dividends since the bill estab
lishing the dividend became
a law Sept. 13, 1961.
