NOTE 13.

PEACE CORPS

Through the essential help of Mr. Jack Maykoski (Peace Corps
Headquarters, P.O. Box 5, Majuro, Marshal] Islands 96960) and Mr. Peter
Oliver, Special Assistant for Compact Affairs of the Government

(P.O. Box 15, Majuro 96960), a number of Volunteers are making diet
surveys of their islands. The study is still in progress, but some
results have been reported at this time for inclusion in this report by:
Mike Flaherty, Buoj Island, Ailinglaplap Atoll; Judi Hinshaw, Woja
Island, Ailinglaplap Atoll; Hali Robinette, Ine Island, Arno Atoll,
Serena Weihl, Kayen Island, Maloelap Atoll; Ellen Opie, Wotje Island,
Wotje Atoll.

The Volunteers have standardized measuring equipment and reporting
sheets. Data are gathered by staying with a family for one day on two
separate occasions.

The task is not an easy one, and we are greatly

indebted to these workers for taking on an extra and difficult duty.
