The well known Life Maga-
zine recently had an article that
read "Judy Friend brings a new
kind of skill to an. ancient occu-
pation Rebirth of the Midwife".
Six pages of the multi million
circulation picture magazine are
devoted to pictures and a story
of how Judy Friend became
interested in Midwifery.
The Judy Friend is Judy
Friend of Dublin, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs, Charles Friend.
The pictures showjudy work-
ing with the children and in the
natural environment where she
worked in Kentucky.
Life also reviews the train-
ing involved, and what midwife
students are expected to learn.

run by public donations. Here,
for the next six months students
work in the hospital to see if
they can cope with the difficul-
ties that will arise, Classes are
sin all so that each studerit -gets
strong individual instruction.
Lectures, working in the mater-
nity ward and later on assisting
in the deliveries of the babies,
are all part of the training while
at the hospital.
Not only do the students learn
how to become a Midwife but
aMer become familiar with child-
hood diseases, adult ailments
and driving instructions. This
latter requirement is an emeort-
ant part of the course since it
is necessary to be able to drive
a jeep through mountainous roads
'that are almost lilipassable. In
some cases the jeep -must be
driven In reverse to reach the
home of the expecting mother.
Life here is a real challenge
with many problems to face and
with difficulties that are some-
times hard to overcome. But, for
Judy, it was a real challenge
and also a very rewarding one.
Judy was In Ryden, Kentucky,
from January 1970 until her work-
ing permit ran out. This- was
November 15, 1971.
Midwifery in Canada and
United States is only accepted in
the very isolated areas, where
transportation is difficult and
living conditions are • hard to
overcome.
Now Judy is waiting word
from the Department of Health
and Welfare. She hopes she
will be able to go to Inuvik in
the North West Territories. Here
-she hopes she will be able to
practise and put all her Midwifery
experience and knowledge to use,

explained the " background of
Judy's training and also how her
daughter first became interested
After tajlcing to Mrs. Friend
you get th Impression that here
is a girl who is fulfilling her
ameitien in life.
From the early age of ten,
Judy Friend has been interested
in nursing and chose it as her
career and goal.
So after graduating from the,
K-W Hospital School of Nursing,
she headed for Bela-Bella, Brit-
ish Columbia. For ohe year she
worked as a nurse on an Indian
Reservation.
Then after becoming inter-
ested in CUSO,India was to be
her next home. This is where
Judy first became interested in
learning how to become a Mid-
wife. A doctor, with whom she
orked, was very interested in
tdwifery and encouraged her
i this field.
In 1969 after spending two
years in India, Jud y came home
to find out where she could train
to become a Midwife. Hydeh, a
small town in, Kentucky offered
exactly what she was looking for.
Although very isolated and 19
miles from the nearest public
transportation, the town has a
sixteen bed hospital with six
auxiliary clinics. Each auxiliary
clinic has a, health nurse and
Midwife who attends to the people.
To introduce the students to
the Midwifery diploma course,
they must first work for six
Months in the Family Nursing
Service Hospital. The FNS is
