Nurse Lauds Work
hi Aden, Cites Detroiter
An American public health
nurse returned to the United
States after five months in
Aden, where she cared for some
of the 48,000 Yemenite Jews in
the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee's "Operation Magic Carpet,"
and described "one of the most
successful • medical-aid programs
of modern times."
In an interview at the New
York offices of JDC, Miss May
Desind of 1109 Boynton Ave.,
the Bronx, a graduate of New
York University with a B.S. de-
gree in public health and ex-
perienced nurse said: "I have
never worked as hard as I did
during my stay ir. Aden. But
when I saw Yemenite Jewish
men, women and children come
into Aden suffering from disease
and malnutrition, and when I
saw them leave a month or six
weeks later weighing 20 pounds
more and on the road back to
health, I felt that I had never
done a more worthwhile job."
"When Max Lapides of De-
troit was assigne -1 to run the
Hashid camp in November,
1949," Miss Desind said, "one of
the first steps he took was the
establishment of a central kitch-
en, to _ guarantee that each
family would receive at least
one balanced meal a day, in-
cluding meat and vegetables.
• Now, each afternoon one mem-
ber of the family brings pots
and bowls to the kitchen and is
given the family's ration."
