The influx ' is continuing, though it now is ' only a trickle. While the mas- _ sive, snow - bound Himalaya Mountains act as natural prison ' walls, the Chinese have set up © observation posts along the ' 2,500-mile-long border to pre- 5 vent refugee flights. £ The Indian government has © set up a high-level organization " to speed up the rehabilitation of ' Tibetans. It includes representa- tives of the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual and temporal ruler, and voluntary bodies. Resettling the mountain-lov- _ ing, illiterate and deeply-reli- _ gious Tibetans under conditions so vastly different has posed some knotty problems for the Indian authorities. MOVED TO FARMS After a number of surveys the Indian government has be- gun settling the refugees in' agricultural colonies. More than 2,000 have been moved to My- sore state in South India. My- sore has a moderate climate. Many Indian states have of- fered to organize refugee settle- mnts for the Tibetans and the offers now are being studied. There are also plans for start-| ing "'little Tibets" in some of the higher Himalayan 'valleys. Consisting of 75 families each, these villages will be self-con- tained. Some 2,000 Tibetans now are learning useful handicrafts such as electro-plating, shoe-making and tailoring. Fifty Tibetan girls are being trained as nurses. LAMAS POSE PROBLEM The toughest problem is that of rehabilitating refugee lamas or monks. More than 2,000 Ti- betan priests have managed to slip through to the Indian side of the Himalayan frontier: Most of them are passionately at- tached to their age-old monastic way of life. For them, the modern world of scientific schools and air-conditioned fac- tories has no attraction. | New Laboratory Will Contain Many Diseases By JACK VAN DUSEN OTTAWA (CP) -- Scientists Who work in a new animal dis- ease Jaboratory being planned! for Ottawa may have to shower as often as 18 times a day. Dr. P. J. G. Plummer says kh won't be for the sake of cleanliness -- but a matter of life and death. The big new virus laboratory will contain '"'the greatest col- lection of exotic disease agents in the world.' Dr. Plummer, head of the agriculture department's nine animal pathology laboratories across Canada, hs been work- ing for four years on plans for the new laboratory. At one time, Canada was rel- atively isolated from the rest of} the world's animal diseases by the oceans. The long boat trip allowed time for a disease to) show in contaminated animals before arrival in Canada. But livestock now ¢an be} shipped to Canada by air in a! matter of hours. And a Cana- dian farmer can tour a farm in| Africa and be home with his) own herd the same day. | Both the animal and the far-| mer can pick up diseases in dis-) tant lands and bring them to) this country in early stages of development when symptoms} are not readily apparent. | "We must have a knowledge| of these exotic diseases,' says the pipe-smoking Dr. Plummer,| 56-year-old native of Fruitland,! Ont., who was a tissue special-| ist for 30 years after graduating from the Ontario Veterinary) College. | LAB CUT OFF | The result has been the col-| lection of disease - producing) agents at special laboratories in| neighboring Hull, Que., and Grosse Isle, Que. With these,! Canadian scientists can inject the disease of other lands into animals here and study their development and cure--if there is a cure--so they can handle similar outbreaks here. The new laboratory, to re- place the ones at Hull and Grosse Isle, will be a powder, keg of infectious diseases such) as foot and mouth, African swine fever and fowl plague. It will be located in an isolated stretch of the green belt that circles the capital, cut off from the rest of the world by two 10-foot fences, one of them ro- dent-proof. ; The main laboratory building --a huge windowless block--will be connected by a half-mile tun- nel to the office building. It will have at least 30 high-pressure showers. ae Scientists working in indivi- dual laboratories will have to shower each time they enter and leave. Special clothing will be required and wrist watches and rings won't be allowed. } Persons working with highly contagious diseases will wear suits similar to water - diving outfits, with their own air sup- ply piped in by hose. In addi- tion, individual laboratories will have their own air supply. -- Nothing will leave the build- ing -- except humans, all cleaned and scrubbed. Waste will be burned and escaping air will Be purified.
