HOUSTON (AP) — The city's
medical mecca provides rural resi
dents with easy access to specialists,
but several leaders say it also is mak
ing it harder to lure physicians and
basic care facilities to smaller com
munities.
Liberty County needs obstetri
cians, and Freeport officials are con
cerned that the town’s two family
practitioners are nearing retirement.
Waller County doesn’t have a hospi
tal and San Jacinto County would
like to provide better ambulance
service.
Generally, the farther the towns
are from Harris County, the more
developed their medical services, the
Houston Chronicle reported Mon
day.
“The picture here is better than in
most places,” said Dr. Ken Baker, a
pediatrician in Brenham, 70 miles
northwest of Houston, where the
11,000 residents have two hospitals,
a clinic and 38 physicians.
But there aren’t enough doctors
in other towns, and some commu
nities cannot lure the necessary spe
cialists.
Of 750 babies born to Liberty
County residents each year, more
than 700 are born in out-of-county
facilities.
“If we have a real need it would be
for obstetricians,” said Richard Ar
nold, administrator of the Yettie
Kersting Memorial Hospital in Lib
erty.

Young creator builds
model Voyager craft,
fans exploration spirit
FORT WORT H (AP) — Eleven-
year-old Erik Crane helped fulfill
Voyager pilots Dick Rutan and
Jeana Yager’s wish — to rekindle an
interest in adventure they say is
missing in America.
Crane crafted a balsa-wood model
of the Voyager airplane, which Ru
tan and Yeager piloted on a historic
flight in December that took it
around with world without refuel-
Kutan said he sees a reluctance ii
people today to challenge accepts
methods and the status quo.
mg.
Crane’s model won a top history
award at the Fort Worth Indepen
dent School District this year and al
lowed the young creator to meet his
idols, who affixed their autographs
to his plane.
On a speaking tour of the nation,
Rutan and Yeager told Crane and a
crowd of 2,000 people at the Will
Rogers Memorial Center Aug. 18
that they had hoped to revive Amer
icans’ spirit of adventure.
“To look back in the history of lb!
people who have done that, ithasai
ways been fraught with danger," Ru
tan said. “They have a big fight wilt
the people that love status quo. lap
pall that word. That’s a terrible wort
— status quo. We should be advea
turous and seek to increase ott
knowledge.”
For Crane, a desire for adventun
came from his teacher Carole
Estes, who enthusiastically ecoif
raged her students’ projects that rf
suited in Crane’s model, he said.
But, the best reward Crane rf
ceived was a letter from Yeager, b
said. She wrote, “Believe in yoil!
dreams, Erik, and work towardmal
ing them a reality.”
