Colored Slides of
Alaska Shown at
Women's Meeting
Mrs. Earl Loucks, president
of the Presbyterian Women’s
Association, opened their
Thursday afternoon meeting
at Fellowship Hall by read
ing from the “Diary of Private
Prayer” by John Bailey. 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.

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.
