ient's survival to our careful
handling. The slightest jar
could easily have forced
broken bone through one of
the vital organs."
So on two notable occas-
sions Private Trachte had a
hand in thwarting death.
But on five occasions Private
Thrachte had a hand in es
tablishing life. During his tour
as an attendant the 23-year-
old soldier delivered five ba
bies—three in homes and two
in the ambulance.
"The first time" he recalls
"I was just transferring the
mother to the stretcher when
the baby started to come."
Did he panic?
"I didn't have time. Every
thing happened so fast. And
besides" he added "I had
moral support from a policeman
who knew less about it than
I did."
After the first baby the oth
er four came easy.
As Trachte continued re
lating those two years of his
life one story followed anoth
er. They were recollections
of traffic accidents drown
ings shootings foolish mis
takes and suicides. He con
siders the suicides the most
disheartening.
"Society has made suicide a
'skeleton in the closet'" he
said. "We crusade against high
way fatalities and murders but
we don't talk about suicides.
They happen and we forget
them. But in those two years
I saw too many to just for
get."
Trachte admitted that at
tempts outnumber actual sui
cides but qualified himself by
adding "Women attempt sui
cide men commit it." He also
stated that both attempts and
committals follow recognizable
trends.
"In the latter part of 1962
when a prominent actress
committed suicide" he said
"an epidemic of attempts
plagued the country. There
were eight or ten within the
next two weeks in Madison
alone. All followed the same
pattern. Each occurred about
9 pjn. A middle-aged wom
an would freshen up put on
an elaborate nightgown take
an overdose of pills and then
makea telephone call. None
of the attempts were fatal but
each was a disaster."
How could such a tragic life
appeal to him?
I met thousands of people"
he explained. "They had no
or a a an
fronts. They were real people.
They were sincere. They were
not pretending to be something
they were not."
Few occupations can boast
such an asset.
