Health Advisory Council The Madison campus was honored this

year by having Madison Hospital chosen as the location for the annual North American Health Advisory Council. Meetings were held in the parlor of the new nurses' dor-mitory April 23-25.

LETTERS

* Ellus T. Williams owns a guest house for men in Riverbank, California. He is on the Stanislaus County Mental Health Advisory Board, also on the board of directors of the Drug Abuse Coordi-nating Council, and chairman of the technical ad-visory committee of the advisory board. He wrote: "We are trying to do what we can for the over six thousand alcoholics and drug users in this county .... I first went to Madison in 1926 as a patient in the sanitarium and later came into the school as a student, and as a result became a mem-ber of the SDA church."

We learn from back numbers of the SURVEY that Ellus was a poet and an inventor.

While in the Army during World War II, he in-vented an electrically heated stretcher pad for treatment of shock and was used in transporting wounded men on the field of battle. This pad was exhibited at the largest medical assembly ever held in time of war and had the approval of the chief surgeon and others. His invention was adopted for use in hospitals and surgery tables.

* Coress King, formerly director of Occupation-al Therapy at Madison S-H, and presently assistant dean of women, CUC School of Nursing on the Glendale Campus, wrote that she is now a grand-mother. "Nancy and Dick (Dr. English) have a baby girl. She is a darling, and I love her so much

Paul Ulrich and family live near Reading. Pa., and had a good income from strawberries and eggs until Hurricane Agnes came along and destroyed his strawberry plants. "This was a severe trial and test to me and put me in a financial struggle ever since. I had to fight the battle of faith the best I knew how. But the Lord has helped in a mighty way. and He is bringing me through. Funds were sent my way to sustain me, and I could write a book on the dealings of the Lord in this difficult situation ....

"We have planted 10,000 plants so far this spring, and we are not done yet. The plants we

by the hundreds. Now we can raise our own plants for the garden, plus for sales. I also want to experiment with berry plants ....

"A lot has happened in regard to interest in gardening. It seems others have been ahead of us again. We as Adventists feel we have all ad-vanced light, and yet we see others take the lead time and time again. We should be the ones to bring people back to the soil ....

"Agriculture has had a back seat for many years .... The motto has been, Take the farm-er's son and educate him through the schools, and then he will be of benefit to the church and to the Lord. It was a disgrace to see anyone, espe-cially young people, continue as farmers. Far better to send him through the higher schools so he might be found of worth to the church. But I say this, that anyone who works the soil is al-ready working for God, and need not look else-where."

Rose McMains Haston, San Diego

It was stated in our December, 1973, SUR-VEY that Susan Walen Ard was probably the only person alive today who attended the first self-sup-porting convention at Madison in 1908. Two of our readers wrote in saying they were here at that time, and now we have two more names--Lucian Scott of Bryant, Alabama, and Rose Mc-Mains Haston of San Diego.

Rose wrote: "I was there too. I lived near the Wallace family in Healdsburg, and came to Madison with them. Mrs. E. G. White expected to attend the convention, but for some reason she could not be there. However, she and Willie White and John White came to the convention in April, 1909....

"Rilla Boynton, who was at Madison long ago, came to visit me a short time ago. I had not seen her for twenty years. She is 82. and I was sur-prised to see how gently time had dealt with her. Her step is light and her figure is trim .... I'd love to attend the Homecoming, but my husband is not able to make such a long trip."

Daisy M. Anderson, Bakersfield, Calif.

As reported earlier, Randy Dickman, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Dickman ('52 & '55) was seri-ously injured in a truck accident near Winchester, Tenn., last year. After the accident, Randy was taken to Huntsville, Ala., where he was placed in intensive care. For 17 days his life hung in the balance. In order to take pressure off his spinal cord, surgery was performed and several verte-brae were fused together. Three weeks after surgery he was placed on a circle electric bed, strapped in and turned every two hours. He was placed in a special room, where he could operate

Injury Center. Here he stayed two months. With physical, occupational, and gym therapy, he learned to use his left arm fairly well, and a little in his right. With devices he could feed himself. Just before Christmas he came back to Harbert Hills, and resumed classwork in an electric wheel-chair. He was able to graduate with the senior class at Harbert Hills in May.

WDNX Educational Radio Station a "First" at Harbert Hills

(The following letter was written by Albert Nielsen '53 to the Survey editor in answer to a query for captions and information on several pictures taken on the Harbert Hills Academy cam-pus. Through the diligent efforts of Mr. Nielsen, this first FM Educational Radio Station at any Adventist academy was built.)

Work on our new FM Educational Radio Sta-tion, WDNX, is nearing completion, and we have applied for on-the-air testing. We anticipate five hours broadcasting time three days a week to start. The format will be strictly educational. which includes "approved" music and also ser-mons, lectures, on-the-air type of instruction, and public service broadcasts. News will be limited to local announcements.

WDNX will broadcast on 89.1 MHz with 1,500 watts effective radiated power. With our antenna height 250 feet above average terrain (which in-cludes a tower height of 150 feet) and the hill up-on which we are located, we should be able to get out quite well with our signal.

Dr. Ralph Moore and I bought the local sanitarium from the Georgia-Cumber-land Conference in 1955. Dr. Moore left to go to the mission field in 1960, and I operated the hospital alone until December, 1969, when be-cause of Medicare and the building of a new Hill Burton County Hospital here, I felt it was time to close. Since that time I have been on the staff of the two other hospitals in town doing general practice and surgery .."

Apparently you did a good job teaching him, for all the doctors are most pleased with his ability ....

"We are looking forward to returning to the States the last of August, and hope to visit Madi-son. It is too early to know where we will settle, but hope it is somewhere in the South .... We surely owe a lot to Madison. I'm very thankful for the broad experience I got there. It has been of great value here in the mission field. Operating a hospital here requires many talents ....

Technical and Professional Institute on a "Dispersed Campus"

There has been a long felt need among Sev-enth-day Adventists for a short course of inten-sive study for those who wish a place in basic hu-man services and Christian witness. With this view, two established schools, Madison School of Industrial Services, Ed Heinz, director, and AVT Educational Laboratory, Frank Lang, director, have combined facilities and incorporated as Madi-son Technical and Professional Institute.

It is the purpose of the Institute to meet the need of many adults who wish to complete a pro-gram in one or two semesters, in order to improve earning power and increase potential for Chris-tian service, but who cannot commit themselves to a longer period of training.

At present, work can be taken at Madison, Chattanooga, or in short institutes at various lo-cations. Arrangements are anticipated to offer work in connection with other institutions that offer unique facilities for training in human ser-vices or vocational skills.

A charter for the institute has been drawn up and a board of eight selected. The matter will be discussed at Homecoming. If SURVEY readers desire more information or would like to be in-volved in this new venture, write the M.C. Alum-ni Association at Madison, or Frank Lang, 8115 E. Brainerd Road, Chattanooga, Tenn. 37421. (Tel. 615-894-3615)
