December 13, 1929 WILMETTE I LIFE 15 western last year and is the present· champion of Paw Paw county, Mich ·. He is a sophomore and a member of the Wrangler fraternity at the university. D. C. S. Disease, Poverty Cause of Eastern Unrest Is Belief Disease, ignorance and poverty are largely responsible for slow post-war progress in the Near East, according to Dr. Wilfred M. Post of New York, medical director for Near East Relief, who has· just returned to this country from Transcaucasia, Syria and Greece. "Intestinal parasites, from which seventy to ninety percent of the people s uffer, malaria and other debilitating diseases, so lower vitality that they are forced to carry on with only sixty to seventy percent of the energy of western people," says Dr. Post. "Often the di sease is the result of poverty and ignorance. It is a vicious circle. Unless the people of the primitive and often isolated eastern villages can be taught simple preventive and curative methods, they cannot throw off the dis case that slows up their earning power and they cannot improve their living conditions without thi s instruction and without the money to make community improvements." Dr. Post went to Armenia in August to confer with government officials concerning a revised medical program and to supervise the transfer of Near East Relief's training school for nur :;es from Leninakan to Erivan, the capital of the country. The school, which is the fir st of it s kind in the Tran caucasian republics, has graduated 176 orp han girls "·hose services in teaching h ygie ne and sanitation in the villages have proved invaluable. The new school will be located in the government hospital at Erivan and will be opera ted jointl.\' hy the American organization and th e Armenian Red Cross. In hi. report to national headquarters in New York, Dr. Post sta t es that the Soviet Un ion ha s expres ed in the :-,trongcst terms its desire to obtain a distinctly American type of training for it s nurses. To thi s end it ha s askefl Xear E.ast Rdief t o erect a small general hospital. to be manned IJ\· an American phnician and two -A mcricJ.n nur. es. The report also states that an expansion of m ed ical welfare work, hv means of additional traveling clinic s introduced into the countrv for the first time three years ago, -is eager1y desired. Dr. Post brings back to ~ear East Relief from th e Le.a gue of Nations an urgent reque st to inaugurate an itinerant health senice, similar to that in the Caucasus. among the refugees in northern and central Syria. The refugee settlement commission of the League is attempting to place the balance of 80,000 Armenian exiles from Turkey in rural communities, which it is hoped will be accomplished in the next two o r three years. The chief concern of course is with the procUl'ing of land and the question of housing. It has not been possible, says Dr. Post, to do any medical work on a large scale. As the villages for the most part are remote from medical centers, this form of service to the refugees will do much to assure the success of the League of Nations' plan of rehabilitation. "Their capacity to adjust themselves into their new conditions and produce harvest, which will begin to make them self-supporting," said Dr. Post, "depends largely upon their health. The establishment of health automobiles, with American nurses and local doctors in charge, seems the best solution. The traveling clinics will have a regular itinerary, covering the villages at stated intervals. The cars also will be available for transporting serious cases to the hospitals in Beirut and Aleppo. We will choose Ameri .. n nurses for this job because of their understanding of community health work. The doctors, who probably will be graduates of the University of Beirut, wilt act both as physicians and interpreters." In Greece Dr. Post arranged for the erection of a pavilion for tubercular · top in the Recreation board's leagu~s. children from the American orphan- He also holds the cup given by tht ages and graduate orphans now living Evanston Ne':Vs-In?ex. for the Nort.h in refugee camps.
