Stephen, Ruth Martin and Leonard Fabian participated in a panel discussion for the Duke Medical Town Hall, pre sented over WTVD with Dr. George Baylin, moderator. The program gave the general public a clearer understanding of the functioning of the Anesthesia Department in the hospitals of today by taking a patient through all phases of anesthetic pro cedures. The program received very favorable notice from the press all over the state and we are indeed proud of our staff.—Inez F. Champi on. Ob-Gyn Department Dr. Paul Green has returned from E.

So many things of interest happen in the Public Dispensary every day it’s hard to select any special ones, but we are all excited about Carol O’Neill’s new' baby, a beautiful little girl. We miss having Carol work w'ith us, but her position has been taken over by Mrs. Coleen Howard, who is proving herself to be a very efficient person. Mrs. Howard’s husband is in Korea for another year, and we are pleased to have her with us. The business interns come and go and each one has his own place in our hearts, but right now we are thinking of Bert Echeverri who left for his native South America the first of June. Bert endeared himself to everyone here; we marveled at his quick grasp of our language; and liis charming manners impressed us all. He invited us to visit him and his hospital in South America, so don’t be surprised if you hear of passports being secured for parts South.
