"The hospital 'has not receiv-
ed Government salaries for the
Congolese nurses for two yeaes.
To help pay these, the patients
now pay for medicine and hos-
pitalization. However, this
cost—except for any antibiotics
--41S I. cent a day. Antibiotic
treatment costs anywhere from
a clay's to a week's wages.
Obviously some can't afford it
and don't pay, but no one is re-
fused emergency care.'
"If it were not for the gener-
osity of American drug compan-
ies, which donate quantities of
medicine to (Mission hospitals
throughout the world, we could
not offer any kind of therapy
at pekes ,the Congolese could
afford. Dr. Carlson estimates
he runs the hospital -- every-
thing except his and Jody's sal-
aries—on $10 'a day. But, by
necessity, the care is somewhat
commensurate with its 'cost.
"The hospital needs trained
nurses desperately. There are
five ' Congolese nurses. for the
day and one for night. Jody
looks after the oust-patient dis-
pensary and. Dr. Carlson does
the surgery and sees all the
'hospital patients and problem
patients .tin the dispensary. Paul
and Jody and our Congolese
hospital administrator take care
of administrative problems.
"The above gives a glimpse
Of why I felt almost over-
whelming frustration when I
first 'arrived. How can one ade-
quately treat 80 to 100 in-part
lents (many very sick), '40 to
50 out-patients, do surgery, run.
'a hospital .with next to. n6
money or skilled help? It's not
Possible. The magnitude of such
a burden was in no small way
responsible for the almost fatal
illness of Dr. Berggren.
"lit is difficult to judge people
and their motives. Why would
someone come out here' to stay?
Life is net easy. The need is
great, but the frustrations,.
pressures and uncertainties are'
enormous. Would one come out
for humanitarian reasons? 'Yes,
but that alone could not pos-
sibly hold him. There is some-
thing.more. I feel the person of
Jesus Christ working through
the hearts of Jody and Paul;
guiding them, comforting them,
giving them strength and giv-
ing them love which transforms
the lives of those around them."

with the poor diets, results in
many severe childhood anemias.
"These anemic children have
been the occasion of much per-
sonal sadness and frustration.
One can administer concentrat-
ed blood and get them above
the critical levels, but the pro-
blem is getting a blood donor.
I'm sure this aversion to giving
blood, even to a close relative,
is almost universal in primi-
tive societies. I've tailiked and
pleaded, trying to get compati-
ble blood for a dying child,
"Besides our regular hospital
work we on occasion spend an
afternoon et a village or the
hospital leper colony, giving
immunizations or food and
medicines. This 'is a .welcome
relief from hospital tensions,
for there is somewhat of a fes-
tive atmosphere about it and
everyone is happy except per-
haps' the children getting shots.
We can talk at leisure with the
old, people and the young, and
laugh and joke—share the joys
of the people as Well as their
sorrows. •
"Dr. Carlson was a general
surgeon near Los Angeles be-
fore he came to Wasolo With
his wife Lois and children
Wayne, 9, and Lynette, 6, last

months. Miss Jody LeValm, the

weeks at Wasolo, but is also
