Title: Mission doctor cited by Jaycees.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-32004 MISSION DOCTOR CITED BY JAYCEES TULSA, Okla. -- Dr. Daniel E. Fountain, 34, an American Baptist medical missionary in the Congo, was cited as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of 1964 by the U. S. Junior Chamber of Commerce in Tulsa. He is shown removing an arrow from the back of a Congolese Army soldier in Vanga who had been ambushed by rebels. Vanga, largest Protestant mission station in the Congo, is located in the Kwilu Province, where rebels have been active for about a year. However, they have not penetrated the area surrounding the mission. Dr. Fountain, son of a Baptist minister, is now in the U.S. where he is studying eye surgery at Willis Eye Hospital, Philadelphia.

A co-worker at the Baptist Aid Station in Kwilu Province, Miss Ruth B. Hege, 57, of Wellington, Ohio (right) was reported hospitalized after rebels hacked her hands off. Both women were associated with Baptist Mid-Missions of Cleveland, Ohio, an agency of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches. At least three other missionaries, all Roman Catholic priests, died in the widespread attack which was believed to have destroyed nearly all mission stations in the region.
