(Sunphoto) Martha Eilisor saluted in Air base publication By CHRIS MACPHEE (Ladies’ Page Editor) Torrejon Air Base Paper Are you willing to work long, irregular hours? Can you show compassion in front of some one’s sorrow without losing con- trol of the situation? And most important, do you have a truly sincere desire to help people regardless of creed or color? If so, you could qualify for the job of Red Cross Hospital field director. Miss Martha Vance Ellesor holds that posi tion here on Torrejon Air Base, and she took a few moments from one of her busy days to explain what this profession is all about. “First of all,” she says, “there are the various requests from patients with personal or family problems. Those range from simple shopping requests to others of a very confidential nature. Financial assistance al so plays a vital part in Red Cross, and is available should the need arise. “One of the most rewarding ‘duties’ is when we transmit a birth announcement to the folks back home or to a hus band stationed away from Tor rejon. Unfortunately,” she adds, “we must send sad news as well as the happy ones—that’s part of the job.” Besides social welfare ser vices, the hospital field direc tor offers a recreation program for the patients in all three wards—m a 1 e, female (with the exception of OB) and pe diatrics. A book cart is taken daily to the patients along with magazines, games and even embroidered work for the la dies. This program is a very important one. It’s medically approved and is intended for the pateint’s well-being and fast recovery. Miss Ellesor, a native of South Carolina, is a graduate of the University of Virginia and has a master’s degree in psy chology and one in social work. She has been on the Red Cross staff for a great many years and has served with all branch es of the service. In World War II, she work ed at the National Headquarters for Prisoners of War, and was later assigned to the POW ex change ship “Gripsholm.” She was in Korea during the Ko rean war, and in Guam at the beginning of the Viet Nam build-up. She recently arrived from McDill AFB, Fla., where she worked as hospital field director for three years. In her spare time, Miss Elle sor enjoys collecting antiques, restoring old furniture and swimming. Parr co-winner youth contest Boyd H.
