Canadian Army Doctor Saves Bedouin Mother And Infant

A young Canadian Army med-lshe was being treated by a non- ical officer, Capt. Glen F. Van—IMohammedan, vwhite doctor. This

cott, 30, of Kingston and Picton, 0nt.. has been credited with sav- ing the lives of a young Bedouin woman and her new-born child.

Capt. Vancott, serving in the Middle East with the Canadian component of the United Nations Emergency Force, lat l-ast Wed- nesday was called to the UNEF Hospital in Rafah to administer treatmen to a seriously-ill, 18- year-old Bedouin woman, suffer- ing from acute complications of pregnancy. Her husband had brought her on a long trek across the desert by donkey.

POWER FAILS

A dramatic, six - hour struggle ﬁollowed during the night, com- plioated by a failure of power in the medical shelter. The delicate operation went on with the aid of flashlights, and at five o’clock in the morning a two-month pre- mature daughter was born. Capt. Vancott then had to administer artificial respiration to the child for a 30-minute period before it responded.

To save the child's live a has- tily-impnovised incubator w a s built by Canadian medic-al assis- tants ﬁrom a cardboard canton, and l-ined with gauze. The incu- bator was then placed near an oil - burning space healer to‘: warmlth. .

By mid-morning, mother and daughter were fine and two fe- male nurses and the young father took the pair to a maternity ward at the Rafah Clinic. DIFFICULTIES

During the critical operation, there was no communication be-

tween the young w_main and Capt

If-ancott because of language dif- ficulties. Adding to the young mo- ther's anxiety wa- the fact that

was her first child and she had never set eyes on a doctor be- fore.

The following day, however, through an interpreter, she grate- fully acknowledged the UNEF as- sistance, and said her people in the desert turst and respect the Canadians for their assistance to Bedouins in the past.

The first experience with child- birth was something quite new for medical assistants of the Can- adian Army, “but” said Capt. Vancott, “they came through with flying colours.”

Through an ag-reemzent between UNEF and the United Nations Re- lief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Clinic at Raifah,‘ Army doctors can now treat emergency cases where the patient would not survive the long journey to Gaza, some 30 miles away.

Weybridge Due On First Voyage

SAINT JOHN, N.B. (CP)—The British freighter M.S. Weybridge, whose u n u s u al contours are strangely reminiscent of a fish, is due to arrive here from Glas- gow today on her maiden voyage to load 10,000 tons of grain for India.

The vessel's designer - owner, Edmund Watts, who is also chair- man of the British Steamship Company Limited, says the ship’s hull design incorporates a number of novel ideas he gleaned from watching fish.

The Weybridge’s s1ight1y-bulg- lng how was inspired by the pow- erful shoulders of the Atlantic salmon and the knife-like stern has two unique fins copied from

Timothy Gives Highest Yield

OTTAWA—Variety tests of tim- othy and orchard grass seeded side by side at the Experimen- tal Farvm, Canada Department of Agriculture, Fredericton, N.B. in 1956 and given identical treat- ment, support evidence previou- sly obtained hene that timothy will outyield any other species of grass tested.

'Dhe yeields of orchard grass had to be out about three weeks earlier to obtain for-age at a similar stage of maturity.

Each variety of each grass was cut as it reaclied full bloom. The earliest variety of orchard grass was harvested on J-une 13, while
