Reply to Box 247, The Tribune Williams Lake, B.C. Former Nursing School Instructor Gives Address On Poliomyelitis At Quesnel Quesnel — Mrs. Marion Kallaur, of Williams Lake, a former instrue- tor from a School of Nursing in Kam- loops presented a particularly inter- address nursing care at the March meeting of the Quesnel branch of the B.C. Registered Nurses Association. Mrs. Kallaur discussed ous types of polio that are prevalent. esting on poliomyelitis namely, spinal, encephaltic, bulbar and spinal bulbar. She said it- is more economical to send a patient suffering from polio to Vancouver, where constant and expert care can be given and proper equipment is available. In the first stage of the disease, it is important that the nurses are acquainted with some of the fundamentals of nursing, as it may make a difference between life and death to the patient before he is transferred to the coast. She said the nurses are grateful to the public and various organiza- tions, especially the Kinsmen, who give their generous support by fur- nishing equipment, such as the res- piratorg and hot pack containers. With such support, better nursiug care can be assured to the patient. Hot pack containers are especially useful, as the foments can be applied Church Services ST.

She said the room must be made as cheerful as possible, for after all, he will be there by himself for, a ‘whole three weeks after the isolation period is over. Posturing and proper position- ing is very important to keep good alignment. A iracthre hoard should be placed under the mattress and the patient must lie on, und be covered with, woolen blankets to keep warm and be moyed as little as possible. Slightest movement or a touch, especially with cold hands may start spasms in the affected muscles and cause agonizing pain. Mrs. Kallaur said if a doctor orders a Trendeden- burg position for a patient, be sure he is placed in that position, that is the hend should be 45 degrees lower than the feet, so as to stimulate prop- er secretion of the mucus from the bronchial tubes. If it is necessary to move the patient, two nurses should be in attendance and hold the pa- tient at the joints, which is the op- posite with an arthritic patient. At present, there is no age limit for onset of polio. With Salk Vaccine, it is hoped this dreaded disease will be wiped off the earth. M sertials es- Television For Cariboo “Unrealistic”’ Prospect of television programs being seen in the Cariboo faded into the distant future when a Prince George scheme was exploded by Kenneth Caple B.C. director of the cBe. In a letter to a Prince George man interested in the possibility of a micro-wave television hook-up be- tween Prince George and Vancouver, Mr. Caple pointed out that installa- tions would cost between $7 and $10 millions. He added that the equipment in- stalled by the B.C. Telephone Com- pany to p¥ovide radiophone service between the coast and the interior was of no use for the transmission of television programs. high cost per capita of giving this service through the Cariboo to Prince George makes it unrealistic at the present time.” stated Mr. Caple. In addition to the heavy cost of constructing microwave stations it would also be necessary to install a. television transmitter which would have to be staffed by competent op- erators, again adding to the cost of operation, Woman Ferry Pilot —Centrat Press Canacian One of the few women ferry pilots in the world, Geraldine Cobb is as much at home in Can- ada as she is in Guatemala, Peru, Australia, Mexico and the U.S. At 14 she was flying her father's plane in Ponea City, Oklahoma.
