Benefit Jonuory II
Nursing Service improved Moyntoin Health
By Ruth Dean

In the last 20 years, approxi-
nately 10000 people living In
q 70O-square mile area Of
eastern Kentucky have made
marked progress In health and
living conditions.
Prime factor In this reyolu-
ton amongst q people who
until 1925 still hewed to the
18th century way Of life of
their English ancestors. Is the
Frontier Nursing Service.
Many chonees
To the casual observer, per-
haps these changes may be
slight. The mountaineers Of
Leslie County still bring water
from the nearby creek for use
IN their cabins but the advent
Of electricity sees. more and
more washing machines on the
front porch.
Children may still look
poorly clothed but they now
have roses in their cheeks put
there by q more balanced diet.
The deep well and the
weather-beaten clubhouse are
still fixtures Of the mountain
cabin scene but public health
measures have largely alleyi-
ated Incidence OF pellagra,
typhoid. hookworm and even
smallpox.
A great deal Of credit is
due to the efforts Of q lone
woman pioneer, Mrs. Mary
Breckenridge who started the
Frontier Nursing Service at
Hyden. KY. in 1928. Shocked
at the areas having the high
est rate Of infant mortality
in the Nation. Mrs. Breckin-
ridge set up headquarters with
q few volunteers and q medical
staff with the determination
to do something about the
situation.
That her venture brought
dividends is evidenced In the
fact that insurance companies
now rate the area as having
one Of the lowest infant NOR
tally rates in the Nation, plus
the fact that the initial From
tier Nursing Service has ex-
panded its operations to include
q well-equipped hospital with
IS beds and IL bassinets, eight
nursing centers in IL nursing
districts which give bedside
nursing care 10 the sick, and
q graduate school Of midwifery
which has brought students
from all over the world.
In the early days as now 1t
took a pretty rugged indivi-
dual who knew how to ride q
horse, to break trail, ride out
In all kinds of weather to an
swer q call for help and know
what to do when q Gificult
childbirth called for knowl-
edge Of effective emergency
measures.
The backbone Of the service
has always been its courier
service. The couriers are q
group Of volunteers who offer
their services as guides for the
doctors and nurses. To them
falls the responsibility Of
knowing the mountainous ter
rain. Otter the acourier's
knowledge Of the river bed
when rising flood waters OBJ
scure familiar landmarks and
the myriad trails that wind
of the main road may seem
the difference between life and
death for a mountain family.
First Courier
Having the distinction of
being the first Of these couriers
is Mrs. Jefferson Patterson, a
cousin Of Mrs. Breckenridge
and now a Washington resi-
dent.

Neqeb Called Price
OF Arabs for Takinq
West Defense Role
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 21.-The
New York Times reported today
that an Egyptian spokesman has
called for return of the Neget
desert-now held by Israel-tc
Arab control as a condition for
Arab defense cooperation with
the West.
A Times dispatch from Cairo
quoted Maj. Salah Salem, Egyp-
tian national guidance minister,
as saying also in an interview
that Western and Egyptian views
on Middle East defense might
be reconciled if Washington and
London ended the efforts Egypt
charges they are making to pre-
vent formation of the all-Arab
defense alliance the Egyptians
are seeking.
Hopes to Sign Pact
Maj. Salem has been the chief
Egyptian negotiator on the de-
tense alliance which his gov
ernment hopes to sign soon with
Syria and Saudi Arabia as a
counter to the Turkish -Iraqi
pact. The Egyptian minister
announced yesterday that de-
tails of the pact had been agreed
TO but the signing date had not
been fixed.
The Negeb desert makes up
the southern third of Israel and
separates Egypt from Jordan.
Maj. Salem, according to the
Times dispatch, argued the
Arabs must have the area be-
cause in any Middle East de-
fense arrangement, their mill
tary lines of communication
would have to cross it.
How could such a defense
plan work without linking Israel
to the system. and that is some
thing the Arabs would never ac-
cept,' he repeatedly declared.
Pressure Deplored
Regarding the possibility of
Arab cooperation with Western
defense plans, the dispatch
quoted Maj. Salem as saying:
IF the West keeps hands Off
refrains from putting pressure
on Syria-we can regard the
Turkish-Iraqi pact as one fact
and our grouping as another.
and 1 think we may agree. But
if the pressure on Syria con-
tinues, am sure we will make
the wording of our pact very
explicit and very tight against
other alliances"
The Times said the impression
was current in Cairo that Syria
was wavering in its adherence
to the Egypt-sponsored alliance.
It added that Maj. Salem also
blamed the failure of Lebanon
and Jordan to join in the pact
on western pressure.

Near-Record Output
In March Predicted
For Steel Producers
BY the Associoied Press

CLEVELAND, Mar. 21.-Steel
Magazine yesterday predicted
near-record steel production for
March and said the high output
rate should continue beyond the
second quarter.
The Woodworking weekly re-
ported the national ingot pro-
duction rate rose a point last
week to 92.5 per cent of rated
capacity, the highest since mid
October, 1858.
Increasing consumer pressure
for finished steel is forcing up
production, the magazine stated,
so that maintenance of high
steel production rate beyond the
second quarter is more definitely
assured. even though automotive
buying should slacken, as mid
year approaches. :"
Steel for automotive purposes
still provides the major support
to overall demand on the mills,
Steel said. but construction is
opening up at promising pace,
resulting in an increased tight
ness in the heavier products, such
as plates and shapes.
The weekly said bearing and
sheet piling demand is up mark
edly, with seasonal requirements
just beginning.
Steel continued:
Expanding requirements for
building, line pipe, tank and
similar construction, of course,
are seasonal. But there is every
indication these fields will pro-
vide volume demand this year
that will rank close to the record,
if not exceed it.
"At the same time, such lines
of manufacture as appliances and
general fabrication are providing
sturdy demand. Export business,
also is a substantial market
prop.
The magazine said that the
steel industry, at the beginning
of the year. projected expendi-
lures of $685. million for facilities
in 1855.
This figure. repeatedly now
is being upped substantially as
the steelmakers seek to round out
equipment to meet the enlarging
and exacting requirements of
consumers. the weekly stated.
