Call Number: CE 560Format: 1/4 3 3/4 ipsProducers: Colin EdwardsCollection: Colin Edwards Collection
Colin Edwards interviews Pat Rambo and Cecile Belanger, two physiotherapists stationed at the Qui’ Nhon Rehabilitation Center in Vietnam. Built in 1970, the Qui’ Nhon Rehabilitation Center was a five-year project run by the Canadian Rehabilitation Advisory group. Qui’ Nhon, as a refugee city, experienced an influx of people suffering from serious injuries, loss of limbs and polio due to the war. Canadian doctors would advise and train Vietnamese students so that they, the Vietnamese, would be able to run the center themselves. Rambo and Belanger describe the Leprosarium ran by French Franciscan nuns. The self-contained community was home to 1,000 lepers.

Emergency UN Session (called for by Syria)
Ambassador Fedorenko begins with the Soviet justification of the cessation of diplomatic relations with Israel and condemns Israeli aggression. Lord Canyton from the United Kingdom follows, the Moussa Keita from Mali. He speaks on how the security council is moving too slow in condemning Israeli aggression and is in fact acting in complicity with imperialism. Egypt follows and states that the United States bears the largest responsibility for this crisis. Milko Tarabanov from Bulgaria follows with statements claiming Arab states have a right to defend themselves against invasion. George Ignatieff (Canada), Roger Sadue (France) and Ambassador Goldberg (United States) finish the reel talking about the need to base information on reports from UN observers, for UN observers to have complete freedom of movement and for the UN offices in Jerusalem is restored.
