It!S now February 23rd. Dr. Smith hasreturned to Harrington because the cpi·demic appears to be undcr control, butMiss VanBuskirk is still on thc job withl\frs. Clench, doing all she can to preventand lessen the crippling complications ofthe disease.

It seems that few cpidemics of poliohave occurred during the winter months.One was reported on the western shore ofHudson Bay last year and Harringtonhad an epidemic of six or seven cases in1932. When one remembers that mostepidcmics in large centres come when thepopulation is mixing intimately at bath­ing beaches, parks and picnics - andwhen sanitation is likely to be lax, it is notsurprising that epidemics should occur atplaces Iikc Sl. Augustinc, where the peo­ple lend to crowd together in the wintertime - and when sanitation is practicallynil and natural drainage from the closelypacked houses is at a minimum.

This epidemic may be the ill wind thatblows somcbody good. Useful informa­tion on the nature of the disease may begleaned. The Department of Health of theProvince of Quebec has undertaken epi­demiological sludies of this outbreak andwe nre hoping that the findings will pointthe way to some more thorough means ofcontrolling this fearsome disease.

Gentle Hands Speed Nancy Clench to Hospital

Mercy FlightReprintedJroln Quebec C/lronick-Telegrapll. IVedneaday, January 25,1950.

Last week, Dr. Clare Neville-Smith, as­sisln.nt to Dr. Donald Gordon Hodd atthe Grenfell Mission, Harrington Hos­pital on Canadian Labrador, received anurgent call from St. Augustine, a hronJetsome 100 miles east of Harrington.

She started off at once, travelling firstby dogteam und then by plane, reachingSt. Augustine the same day. There shefound nineteen persons stricken. The dis­ease was said to be poliomyelitis. One ofthem, an eight-year-old child, was suffer­ing from the more serious type, affectingthe respiratory orga.ns.

Hcali7.ing that this case could nol be ef.fectively treated locally, Dr. Ncville­Smith called upon the Hescue and SearchBranch of the Royal Canadian Air Force,who responded immediately, despite verybad flying Ilnd landing condit.ions. Thestricken child was picked up and flownvia Goosc Bay to Quebec, landing at theAncient Lorette airport in a blizzard.

Rushed to the Civic Hospital here, thechild unCortunately died, yesterday after­noon, despite all that medical care coulddo for it. Here the G'lnadian Red CrossSociety look over and arranged Cor theburial oC the child at its own expense.

Meanwhile, Dr. Neville-Smith, whohad remained to care for the other eight­Cf'n victims at St. Augustine and whowas endeavoring to stem thc outbreak,called on Nurse S. Van Buskirk at Har­rington Hospital, to comc and relievehcr at St. Augustine, as she had to returnto her patients at Hllrrington. Nurse VanBuskirk arrived and took the work ofisolating and treating-thc victims.

Another vivid example oC the work thatis being done by the Grenfell Mission incooperation with the Canadian Red CrossSociety and the Quebec Provincial Gov­ernment was oemonstmted ~'esterday,

when Dr. Hodd took up with Dr. JeanGregoire, Quebec Deputy Minister oC

Health, the question of a little knowlldisease which has so Car rcsisted all localtreatmcnt and even such new drugs aspenicillin. Known as "seal fingcr," it isreally an occupational disease, resulting ininfection from ('uts and bruises.

Dr·.llodd submitted the case of a fishcr­man whose left arm had been paralyzedas a result of polio some years ago and whohad suffered a "seal finger" inCection inhis right arm last autumn. The infectionhas since resisted all treatment even by themost modern drugs. ACter listening to Dr.Hodd's ltppe:ll Dr. Gregoire authorizedthe transport of this patient to )'[ontreal,where the disease will be studied and thefisherman will be given the best trcatmentthat specialists call providc.

([ere again, the .Hed Cross will make aUarrangemcnts Cor the patient's admissionto hospital and a Hed Cross Ambulanccwill be on hand to mcet the plane upon ar­rival. Neither race nor religion count inlhe work of mercy carried out by theGrenfell Mission and the Red Cross So­ciety. The little victim who was flownfrom St. Augustine was Pierre T.con, thcson of a l"rench·Canadian Roman Cath­olic, while Lhe fisherman who is to betreated for" seal finger" in :i\fontreal isSterling Roussel, an English speakingProtestant and parishioner of the Rev.J. D. S. Anido, Hector of the AnglicanChurch at Harrington.

The Grcnfell .Mission has been fortunatein marshalling a group of devoted andskilled doctors and nurses to carry out thework oC mercy in the barren reaches of theLabrador coast. Dr. Hodd, well knownand beloved by the"coasters" as MedicalDirector of the Harrington Hospital,served for 18 years on the coast, but whenhis family grew up he felt that he mustdevote more time to them and moved toOntario where in two years he built up alucralive practice. But the call of service

was stronger than the lure of gain to him,lind two years a!.'O, he returned to the coastwhen he hClll'd tbat the work Roing on inhis ho--Vil1tl would be earri('(1 on with re­newed \"i~'Or.

Gratitude-The People's EffortHOIlEIlT GIl.IY

The People'~ Gift to Dr. Curti~

The people of ~orlltern Newfoundlandlllld Labrador were very happ.\' to hearthat in the Birthday llonours of 19·~8, ILis.:\lajesty King George was pleased to hon­our Dr. Charles S. Curtis b.v creating hima Comlnanderof the i\[ost ExcellentOnlerof the British Empire (Civil Division).

For some months after this good newswas made knowll to the public, llIlIlly citi­zens wondered whether or not Dr. Curtiswould be able to go 'to Londou for the in­vestiture by His Majesty the King. For~

tunately for us, howc\'cr, dC\'otion to duty\\'ould not pennit him to leave his work. soin the early spring of 1949, MagistrateT. J. Wude of the Sl. .\nthony Magis­terial District was duly authorized by llisExcellency Sir Gordon ::\1acDonald, thenGovernor of Newfoundland. to perform

the Investiture at Sl. Anthony on bchalCof His ]~xcellene.\'.

Thus ill the emly SUlJuner of 1049 a pub­lic meeting was held in the Court Iiouseat St. AnthOlw and 11 COlllmittee underthe Chairlllan~hip o{ Magistrate Wadewas appointed to make the necessary planstor this noLable occasion. All those whowere present telt that an opportune timehad now come {or the residents of theGren{ell .Mission area to show in a prac­tical way their appreciation and thanks toDr. Curtis {or his man,\' years o{ unseHishsen'ice among them. Accordingly it wasdecided to present him with an illuminatedaddress and a silver caribou stlil1tbly1I10l111tcd ami inscribed.

In order to give every community inthe Grentell ::\Jission area an opportunity

AMO'SG THE DEEP SEA nSHERS

to participate in this most worthy projcct,citizens in the various communities fromLaScie ill Newfoundland to Hebron inLabrador' were contacted. The responscwas prompt and most gratifying and thefinancial objective was not only reaehedbut doubled and trebled. The many ap­preciative letters received by the Com­mittee testify to the high esteem in whichDr. Curtis is held by the people of North~ern Newfoulldland and Labmdor.

Due to the foresight and plallnillg of It

very coltlpclent Citizens' Committee, theillurninated address and silvcr caribouwere ready by early autUlTln but due to theabsence of the Clulirman from St. An 4

thony, the eerelllony did not take placeulltil November 11th, 1949.

At 8.30 P..\f. on that date, ,MagistrateWade, accOlnpanied bJ' Doctor and Mrs.Curtis cnterl.'(lthe Sir Wilfred T. GrcnfelllIall amid spirited 11pplausc. The cere­mOllY opened with "God Save the King"followed by "The Star Spangled Banner"with ~lr. H. W. McNeill at the piano. TheCiti7.cn's Committee consisted of l\Jagis4

Neill, Sccreb.ll'y-Treasurer, W. B. Pom­eroy, J. II. Patey und E. Strangemore.Master Paseoe Simms of the 1st St. An­thony Boy Scouts acted as personal assist~

ant to the Chairman. Samuel Drover,Esq., .Melllber of the Provincial Parlia­mcnt for the District of White Bay, waspresent for the occasion and took a seat011 the platform, which was artisticallydecorated with flowers ami flags.

In his opening remarks .MagistrateWade said that he was happy to have thehonour of performing the investiture onbehalf of Jlis Execllcncy. The Citizens'Committee had worked quietly during theSUlllmer preparing for this memorableoccasion but their work had been madeeasy because there had bcen completeharmony and unity of purpose from He­brOil in Northern Labrador to the Presen­tation Convent in St. John's West. He feltthat the response had becn magnificent,for many settlemen Ls had shared in thepresentation and there had been an over-

whelming desire on the part of all thepeople cOllcerned to show their lJ.pprt.-'Cia­tion of the life-long services of Dr. Curtis.The Chairman then introduced 1\[1'.

Alcock, the Vice-Chairman, who read thefollowing address.

Dcar Dr. Curtis:

Nurse RhodesSeventy miles south of St. Anthony in thevillage of Roddickton the Grcnfell.l\1issionhus a very heroic nurse. Only a few peopleknow of her - first, because she is so scl£­cfrucing lind Sl.'Condly because she neverhas the time to wrile about hcrsclC or herwork. Those of us at St. AnlhoIlJ', how­ever, and the people of the area fully ap~

preciatc her spirit of sell-sacrifice llud Iwanllhc people who help this .Mission bytheir gills to know something of her.

Miss Hhodes came out from Englandin the sUlllmer of 1947. This is her thirdwinter aL Itoddicklon without a vacationor even "a spell" as Lhey say in New­foundland.

In the village of Roddickton, her head­quarters, there are 1,500 people including500 children under sixteen years of age­hall thc population or Lnbrador in thisonc area. Besides this \'illage or 1,500 in­habitants 11'1 issllhodes must attend thcsettlements between Ilarbour Dccp andCondle, fifty to scvcnty lnilcs away. L.'tstycar she treated 4,000 out·paticnts. Theonly communication is by boat or dog­team ovcr Ule most difficult travcllingterrain in our Mission.

In winter a large percentage or thc pop­ulation of this area move into lloddicktonbut unfortun:~tcly some remain outside011 the eoast and thesc peoplc she mustoften visit in times or illness. Two wintcrsago she walked from lloddicktoll to Har­bour Deep and baek - over 100 miles­with dogs dragging her medicine ehest

ovcr thc trail, an undertaking Ulat themost hardy man would hesitate to makc.Shc is an experienced midwifc and Ulispart of her nursing takes up a great dealof her time as she is the solc help for scoresor women. Two lumber companies op­erate in the area and complicated frac­tures and injuries arc also COUlmon. La.stweek she Hew in here by mail-plane witha very complicated obstetrical patient.Although urged to rernllill she was offagain in hair all hour. In a few da;ys sheWl1S back again in the mail-plane accom­panying a complicated rracture. This timeshe looked completely "all in." She saidshe hlld It touch or influenza. When ltoldher shc must remain here for Il rest shesaid no, she had sc\'cral obstetrical eascsdue any time and ill less than all hour shewas on her way back to Hoddicktoll.

1 cannot begin to tell of all she does ­alone - treating day in and day out themost complicated cases with grcat judg­ment and skill with the nearest doctorsseventy miles away and at times impos·sible for them to reach her or for her tosend the patient to them. Therc is no olleon the Grenfell :J\lission carrying the re­sponsibility she docs, yet all so self­effacingly. This Mission is proud to have if,

nurse of such indomitable courage as.:\1iss Hhodes; and the people of the areaare fortunate that they have sueh a con­scientiOliS and skilful nurse.

Martha, an Eskimo ChildELIZA IlEWITT. R.N.

One beautiful day in July, 1947 the Kyk.a sturdy lillie steamer lru,"clling lll} anddown the northern coast of Labrador,forged into Sandwich Bay at full speed,fhllllly nosing around a long jut of landinto the lillie harbor 011 whose shores thethriving settlement of Cartwright islocnlcd. As she checked her speed a longlaryngeal blast sounded Ilerass the waler.

The ship's doctor sLood III the railwatching our boat skimming over thewaler loaded with prospective passengers.

As the :Mission doctor appeared ondeck, accomp.'\nicd by the nursc-ill-ehargeof the hospital, he led the way to the cabinreserved as "sick bay." ., I have two pa·tients for ,you," he said, "one a littleEskimo child in a deplorable condition."Pulling open the door they stepped into aliny cabin reserved for male l)8liellls. andopening from it a larger one containing sixberths. On a lower one lay a dirty, neg­lected, sick Eskimo child about two yearsof age. "This is )Iartha, she was broughtto me at Naill, half stnn'ed, lind in thispitiable condition," said the ship's doctor.WiUI tender hands, and uller disregardfor the dirt the nurse picked the child upand made her way to the gallgway.

On Ilrrivlll at the hospital the doctor'seXllminlltion revealcd nothing serious,stating her condition to be OIlC that couldcasily be remedied..,H only others couldbe cured as easily and quickly," hc mur­mured... Cleanliness. good food. and codher oil wiIJ strengthen thosc limbs andgivc hcr a more normal bodj'," he said.Thcn she was handed ovcr to the nurseagain to be cared for.

The process of undre~ing broughtforth agonized screams as each uselesslimb was moved. Before thc bath was o,'crwc learned that the least mO"Clllent oflegs or arms caused severe pain. Aftcrplacing her in a clean cot the nurse turned

she lCllmed tJml there was always moreforthcoming. 1t was the only word sheknew. That first nighllhe nurse-ill-chargemade lllany trips to the little one's bed­side. It was such a pathetic cry, 11 cr'y ofintense hunger (or the right lood.

We learned that ::\(arUHI:s mother haddied 11 few months previous, leaving onl,v1In cleven year old sisler Lo care lor her andher brothers lind sisters.

Each day brought a lillie improve­ment, gradually the pain in the mllsclesdisappcared. How delighted Martha waswhcn she roullt! she could kiek her fcet inthe air! Then camc the day shc stood onher feet ror tile first time, hcr round,solemn race showed some anxicty, butquickly changcd to a beam or plcasurcwhcn shc round it did not hurt.

Our Lotal expenses for 19·18/!J increasedb,\' about $22,000 ovcr lhc prcvious ycar.The largest increase was in the cosl of op­craling our hospitals and nursing sU11 iOlls.These cost $19,000 rnore to opcratc thanthc yel.lr beforc, Fortunalely our rcceipL~
