Part of her work will be in the field, the rest in the com- pany’s New York headquarters where she already has served a number of years. “Standard Oil chooses the town in relation to its fields,” Miss Wagner said. “Then It clears the jungle and builds the town, The medical depart- ment is in charge of the sew- age system, the water supply. the food and everything per- taining to health. Besides this we are responsible for the health of the workers. We long since have passed the place where medical care meant simply first aid. Now it is not only a matter of preventive medicine — that is, the im- provement of general health. I shall be working in Vene- zuela, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and | Aruba (an island off the Vene- | zuelan coast).” Miss Wagner is not nearly so vocal about herself. She said the prospect of talking on that sub- ject gave her the jitters for an entire week-end. She was born in Montgor Pa., the daughter of a machinist, trained at Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia and then mained to serve on its nursi staff and teaching nursing In 1941 she came to the medi Oil, and eventually became its head nurse. Then she served in the U. S. Army’s domestic nurs- ing service from April to Decem- ber, 1945. For the last 12 years she has been working nights and at summer school to get a BS. degree, cramming classes and study into every spare moment, | and has just won her degree.

Six years ago, doctors despair- ed of the life of the sickly, under- nourished baby who couldn't di- gest food because of a rare coeliac disease. Then they discovered the banana diet. Now a sturdy. yellow-haired youngster of 8, Lucille is begin- ning to fulfill predictions that | she will outgrow the malady. The bananas, bought monthly from a wholesaler in 40-pound erates, are now eaten mostly for dessert. and “snacks” as_ fish, meat, cottage cheese; gelatin and fruit juices supplant them in her diet.
