RESEARCH AT WALES
Mr. and Mrs. Coons of Eugene,
Ore., are enroute to Wales where
they will continue their research
on the migration of Asiatic peo
ple to the North American con
tinent by way of the land bridge.
Mrs. Coons, speaking before the
Chamber, suggested that we stop
referring to this community as the
back door of North America, but
as the gateway—because in her
book she shows how the Asians
crossed to North America at Dio
mede thousands of years ago.
GUEST OF THE WEEK
Chamber of Commerce Guest of
The Week is Laura Brownlee, re
tired real estate dealer of Seattle,
who has seen more of Alaska
than most Alaskans as she took
the Aleutian Island mail boat trip
as well as the regular tours of
fered from Southeastern Alaska
to Point Barrow.
She credits Fairbanks with dis
couraging people from staying
overnight in Nome, and thinks
that something should be done to
correct this false impression as
she has enjoyed here stay here.

Rehabilitation Program
Starts at MMM Hospital
Dr. Alfred R. Shands, medical
director for the Nemours Foun
dation for crippled children, and
the Alfred I. DuPont Foundation
of Wilmington, Del., who has
worked with crippled children
and their problems since 1937,
spoke this morning to a group of
state department heads and other
interested persons on the great
need of rehabilitation of the han
dicapped children as well as
adults. Also addressing the group
at the hospital was Dr. Wm. Hill
man of Vanderbilt University in
Tennessee, who explained the re
habilitation program which is get
ting started here on a special
grant.
Shands explained that in a pro
gram of rehabilitation it is first
necessary to find the child, diag
nose its case, treat the illness,
then educate with vocational
training and finally find a place
for it in society. In explaining the
need of a rehabilitaton center and
its importance to the community
he showed how it was necessary
to start with a curative work
shop; physical therapy, occupa
tional therapy and therapy for
daily living. This involves psycho
logical testing and pre-vocational
testing in a sheltered workshop if
the program is to be successful.
A realistic survey of the needs
must be made by knowing what
kind of labor is needed in the
state before people are trained so
that when they have finished
their training their work and ef
forts are of value to them and to
the state.
Dr. Hillman explained that
Nome was chosen as the center of
the project as a test area because
it has a good hospital, a good
complement of necessary cooper
ating agencies. The program will
be headed by Dr. John Barrow
and start out as a clearing house
for federal and state agencies,
doctor and patients so that each
will know what the other is doing
and why.
‘•This is an ambitious but re
warding program" Dr. Hillman
stated, and will be a showplace
as it progresses and will need the
formation of a community group
to assist in many ways, as the
program develops.
Training the handicapped in
work that it is needed will de
velop the economy of this part
of Alaska and keep at home
money which is now being sent
