Jean Gulart has just sat down with me to talk and I have turned to 
these pages and did not keep giving him. my attention. He has got up, mumbling 
that he will turn in like the others, since I do not manage to keep up con- 
versation! It is well that he has been so verbal, since I have lapsed into 
a dreadful habit of turning off my boys and everyone with my work. I did not 
realize how boorish it has become, and that I even shut out colleagues from 
my life and thoughts quite rudely by this increasing "failure to sustain 
conversation." Good for Jean! 
Drowned on Merelava : 
Mata T. F.17 Father (from Pentecost) Mother: Hane (from 
St. Pau! 
Fell from stones into sea and drowned in 1971 
Rutias Frenda F.IA St. Barnabas 
Drowned in Quantamagaveo stream during flood in 1970 
John Colleridge M.18 St. Luke 
Swimming at Magdulap and shark attack is suspected in 1969 
At St. Steven today, we saw several interesting patients; among them: 
1. Emily Rutur F.35 
No husband. Left leg with flaccid paralysis which started in infancy. 
It is not attributed to an acute "swelling up" of the leg, as is the 
hypotrophic and flaccid leg and foot of Frank Adam, a 19-year old boy 
in St. Barnabas A'ota. I found no ankle jerk, no spasm, no Babinski 
or ankle clonus, and no anesthesia. The leg appears to be the result 
of a post-poliom.yelltls with foot drop. It is not hypoplastic and 
atrophic, as was the leg and foot of Frank Adam of A’ota. 
2. Phillip Morris Nwou Father: Barnabas Mother: Ester 
With congenital defective right eye, hypoplastic and "out." Not fully 
examined. He suffers from extensive impetigo, with open pussy and 
weeping lesions. Given Terramycln Rx and 1x10^ units PCN by Paul 
later .
