Fif- •teen ladies were in attend ance, with a special guest being Miss Vera Lee Collins, soon to be a missionary to India where she will serve as a dietician at a school for the children of missionaries. Mrs. Floyd Fleetwood was hostess for the dessert lunch eon preceding the meeting, a large centerpiece of jasmine centering the serving table. The afternoon’s program consisted of colored slides shown by Mrs. James Swan of a trip to a seminar in Alaska several years ago. After the take-off from Seat tle, Washington, interesting views, taken from the air as well as from the ground, were shown of Metakatla, Wrangle, Haines, Skagway, Juneau. An chorage, and as far North as Fairbanks. There were also pictures of the University of Alaska, Sitka. St. Petersburg, and Palmer, with Mrs. Swan giving the highlights of the trip. During the business session, Secretary Faye Verbeck read a communication from the “Hospitality House” at Fair banks, Alaska, after which the minutes of the previous meeting and the correspond ence were read. The associa tion was notified by Mrs. Harris of Yachats that there would be a mid-winter con ference at Creswell on Janu ary 30th. “Thank-you” notes from the Swans, Gillenwaters, and Odermans were read as the result of the women’s par ticipation in the recent Golden Anniversary. It was announced that World Day of Prayer will be observed on February 10th, this being an annual affair in which most of the churches of the Canyon participate. There is also to be another clothing-drive in the spring, the articles to be sent to Africa and Viet Nam. Treas urer’s report was given by Mrs. Arlo Tuers. For the devotional, con ducted by Mrs. Clyde Rogers, the group read the 8th Psalm In unison, after which Mrs. H. A. Schroeder asked the visiting missionary to speak rather than having the usual reading from the Year Book of Prayer. Miss Collins, whose home-town is Post Falls, Idaho, and who was the house-guest of Rev. and Mrs. James Murray, told of having spent the past year with Na tional Missions north of Santa Fe, Mexico, before which she took a month’s training in a New York school Upon ar rival in India, she will spend three years near Madras at the southern tip of that country.

INSURANCE JERRY PITTAM INSURANCE Ph. 897-2413 or 897-2754 An interesting coincidence involving former Mill City residents has come to light recently through a bulletin of St. Peter Hospital at Olym pia, Washington, this being a monthly publication by the employes and staff. The front page article, accompanied by his picture, quotes Dr. W. J. Mikkelsen, radiologist and supervisor, and a graduate of the University of Oregon Med ical School, where he also interned. Dr. Mikkelsen, re membered here as “Bill,” is the brother of Mrs. Leo Poole, the former Sue Mikkelsen, who is on the staff at Santiam High School. Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. Mikkelsen, lived here during the con struction of Detroit Dam. Mrs. Poole stated that her brother is also supervisor at two additional hospitals. On another page of the bulletin is a picture of Otto Plambeck, son of John Plam- beck and brother of Else Allen both of Mill City, who made a career for himself as a reg istered X-ray technician in the U. S. Army from which he recently retired. The ar ticle states that he “came to this country from Germany when a young boy, receiving his training while in the service.” He and his wife, who is also German-born, and their three children, live in Olympia. The X-ray Department plays a vital role in the hospital, in many cases the X-ray being the determining factor in the type of treatment to be followed. The following ex- cerpts from the article hy Dr. Mikkelsen, who Is the father of six sons, answers many of the questions fre quently asked about the X-ray Department: Six out of ten patients entering this hospital have an X-ray study, for something as simple as a fractured finger or as com plex as an air injection into the spaces of a compressed brain, or an injection of dye into the vessels of a kidney tumor. Every specialty in medicine uses X-ray — the surgeon to diagnose and lo calize diseases of the gall bladder, stomach, and colon; the gynecologist to determine fertility; and even the psy- chiatrist to exclude physical disease. Bone, tissue, and air pro duce strikingly different X-ray shadows on film and the composite with modern meth ods is surprisingly accurate. In many cases the abnormal ity is obvious. In others the trouble may be “hidden” because surrounding tissue looks the same, that is, ab sorbs X-ray the same. In many cases it is necessary to use air to outline the trouble, or a material heavier than tissue, such as barium for stomachs and colons, or Iodine dyes for kidneys, spinal ca nals, and vessells. The field of radiology en compasses medicine broadly and competent Interpretation of X-rays requires a doctor specialist who has had three to four extra years of training in a radiology residency. Such a doctor is necessary in fluoro scopy. where an -Xray “mov ing picture” is observed and interpreted, or for interpre tation of X-rays previously taken by X-ray technicians. The X-ray technician must know anatomy, many differ ent positions, and techniques. This takes a two-year training period. Brain injections may sound complex, but our most fre quent and simplest to take X-ray, the chest, is one of the most difficult to inter pret Bone disease, heart and circulation, lungs, and di seases of many organs are reflected here. In many cases the picture will be diagnostic. Dr. Mikkelsen states that there is very little danger of getting “too much X-ray.” as limits are set which fall safely short of dangerous exposure. Most people carry the false impression that X-ray therapy is reserved as a last ditch ef fort in terminal cancer pa tients, but anyone who has heen to a large active thera peutic center will be immedi ately impressed that the patients appear surprisingly normal, healthy, active, and optimistic. In many diseases X-ray has proven the treatment of choice. In others a combina tion of medicine and X-ray, surgery and X-ray, or all three may be indicated. It is true that a good share of X-ray | treatment is directed toward cancer, but many other con ditions such as warts, shoul der bursitis, etc., are success fully treated. Many cancers treated by X-ray are inac tivated more frequently than not, as in the cervix, larynx, and skin. As in any complex subject, general statements such as these fail to convey an ac curate impression. Very few answers are accurately yes or no. Dr. Mikkelsen feels that some of the more philosophi cal points are more important to transfer than the number or kind of X-rays performed.
