Title A name given to the resource Malaria Control: CDC Beginnings Description An account of the resource <div class="landing"> <p>In 1942, when the U.S. was mobilizing for the Second World War, the U. S. Public Health Service set up a program to protect the personnel of military bases in the Southeastern states from malaria. This disease had long been rampant in the area, and posed serious threats to the health of the military and civilian populations. The program known as Malaria Control in War Areas (MCWA) was created to carry out the work. The lack of space in Washington due to the war effort allowed the program to base its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and closer to the work at hand. During the war years, the program was expanded to include the control of other communicable diseases. Because its work was so successful, a new organization was created around the nucleus of MCWA, the Communicable Disease Center (CDC). The date was July 1, 1946.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound. <pre><strong> Interview Transcript </strong> This is an interview with Ann Lourie on July 13, 2006, at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, about her involvement with the West African Smallpox Eradication Project. The interview is being conducted as part of a reunion marking the 40th anniversary of the launch of the program. The interviewer is Deborah Gould. Gould: Would you describe your early life, where you were born and had your education through high school? Lourie: I was born on Long Island, Flushing, New York, and I lived there until I was 10. My father died when I was 10, and my mother remarried, and we lived in Connecticut for a while. I went to a boarding school for 3 years, from the 7th to the 9th grade Finally, we moved back to Scarsdale and White Plains, New York. I went to high school at Scarsdale High School, and I went to college. Gould: How did you and your husband become involved in the smallpox eradication effort? Lourie: Well, we got married in 1960 and we had 3 children soon after, 2 years apart and 18 months apart. My husband was in the Public Health Service after he finished his internship, and then he went back and got a Master's in Public Health at Johns Hopkins. Our children were 5, 3, and 2. We discussed that we would like to do something really exciting before our children got to school age. Being interested in public health, he just heard about the program with CDC at that time, and we both thought it would be a terrific idea to do this. Gould: I understand you lived in Chad. Is that correct? Lourie: Yes. Gould: Describe what it was like living in Chad with 3 small children. Lourie: Well, it wasn't that bad really. When we first got there, we were in an apartment on the 1st floor, and it was hard because it was very small and very cramped. And the main front door had a space about 2 inches between the floor and the bottom of the door, so in the evening all these frogs would come in under that door, and they'd be jumping all over the room. That was really my first unpleasent experience. But anyway, after a month or so, we got moved into other quarters. There were 2 houses in a compound, 1 with Russell Charter and his wife, and a very nice 1-floor rental house for us. It had a living room, dining room, 2 bedrooms, and a bath. We had a swimming pool between the 2 houses, so that was nice because I taught my kids how to swim. So, physically, it was not that bad. Gould: What about dealing with some of the cultural differences? The markets are so unlike the States, where we've got a Publix or a Kroger grocery store on every corner. Lourie: Well, we had a market. We lived in the capital, which was then called Fort Lamy and is now something else with an N, N'Djamena, I believe. As far as I remember, there were no paved roads. The town was just 1 or 2 streets with little stores on both sides, and the marketplaces. One wonderful thing was that I had a cook and a houseboy who helped, so I didn't have to do laundry or cook. I did go shopping.for food. Occasionally, the cook would go shopping too. Culturally, we had a hard time at first. I started teaching English classes occasionally to adults, and so I needed someone to take care of my children. We had 1 houseboy, but I didn't want to give him that responsibility. So we hired this young girl to be a babysitter and take care of the children while I was gone, and she was there a few days. The kids always had their bath after dinner, and they were all bathed in the same tub. My 2-year-old was still in diapers at the time. So I went in to the bathroom for something. They were all in the tub. And she had taken the diaper and she was rinsing it out in the bathtub, . So, needless to say, she was fired, and I went on to the next. She couldn't help it. . She just didn't know any better. But anyway, we got another houseboy named Bartolomey, really very cute, short, smart little guy, and he wound up helping the other man and also taking care of the kids, and we had him the whole time we were there. Gould: You said the children were 5, 3, and 2? Lourie: When we got there, yes. Gould: And you were there for how long? Lourie: Two years. Gould: What about schooling for the 5-year-old? Lourie: He went to the 1st grade in the French school in town. I taught the Calvert system at home, in English, for the 1st grade, so that when we went back to the States, he could go into the 2nd grade. So he had both the French school and the Calvert system at home. The other 2 children weren't old enough, so they didn't go to school or any other kind of pre-kindergarten or kindergarten. Gould: Did they learn the language? Lourie: Yes. They all could speak basic French, but two of them didn't remember it when we came back. The oldest, who was 7 when we left, can speak fluent French to this day. Gould: That's wonderful. A good skill to have. Lourie: Yes. Gould: What was the toughest problem or problems that you faced? Lourie: I didn't really have any tough problems. Basically, I was living with servants whom I'd never had before in my life. You did had to be very careful what you did with your food, that you washed everything well, that you peeled everything, that you didn't drink water. But there were no real problems. We did go swimming and waterskiing in the Chari River. Now, when I talk about it, people say "You did that? You didn't get schistosomiasis?" And I say, "No." "When we went there, Dr. Pierre Ziegler was there, who was the French counterpart whom Bernie [Bernard Lourie] was working with. He told us that since the water was swift moving, it would be alright.I was talking to Rafe Henderson [Ralph H. Henderson] last night, and he said that he was always in the water and loved the water, and he said, "Oh, it's just fine, and we did this all the time." And that's what we did on the weekends. That was our entertainment. We would go waterskiing and picnicking and swimming in the Chari River with the hippos. Gould: Oh, my goodness! I hear they were pretty vicious. Lourie: Yes, they can be dangerous. We were lucky, we really were. I don't know what was wrong with me at the time. I didn't realize they could be dangerous. But physically, I didn't really have any hardships at home because I had a nice, comfortable house, and I took care of the kids and I was busy doing things with them and teaching them things. I would go out occasionally or play bridge with the gals about once a month. I was very happy. I had a wonderful time; my kids had a wonderful time. There were other American families. Russell and Sharon Charter were the only American families there from our CDC group. There were some ancillary workers, and we did socialize with them occasionally. And then there was Dr. Ziegler and his wife, who were French. We socialized with them a lot on weekends. Gould: So, during this time, was your husband out in the field most of the time? Lourie: Yes. He went out every day with a truck. Sometimes he would be gone for a couple of days. I can't remember any more how long exactly. It could have even been a week that they would go out for. So he would come and go. I only wish that I could have gone, too. Gould: Yes. Lourie: That was my wish. I thought, "Oh, if I didn't have any children, I could go and be with him every day." When he was in town daily, the day ended early. It ended about 2 o'clock. They'd come home, and we'd have our large meal in the afternoon, and that would be it. They would work from early morning, when he was in town, until around 2 in the afternoon. Gould: How early in the morning? Lourie: Quite early, maybe 6 or 7 AM. Gould: Was that a French system? Lourie: I don't know. It was a French colony at the time, and that was just the schedule. Gould: Can you recall any unique experiences or occurrences that you had when you were there that you would like to tell us about? Lourie: Well, besides the frogs, 1 funny thing occurred when we were still in the apartment. We had one houseboy, and while I was gone he had taken our white sneakers and covered them with Elmer's glue and then set them out in the sun to dry because he thought that was polish. They were stiff as a board. That was a funny experience. And then another thing. . .We normally never let the children swim with anyone.but ourselves. But we wanted to be sure that if we left them and they happened to go near the pool, that Bartholomey would know how to swim and what to do. So we asked him, "Can you swim? Do you know how to swim?" He said, "Oh, yes, yes, I can swim." So we took him to the pool. We said, "Okay, show us how you can swim." So he jumped in the pool and he almost drowned because he had no idea how to swim. I guess he was afraid he might lose his job- or he just didn't want to say that he couldn't swim. Just before we left to go back home, we went to a game park with wild animals. I had never been out at all to see the animals. So we had the 3 kids, and I think we were in a little Volkswagen in this park, and it was just the driver and our family. Six of us. We got stuck in the mud sometime during the afternoon, and we couldn't get out. So we were there all night, sleeping in the car. My middle son had an earache, and he was crying most of the night. The next morning, everything had dried up and we were able to get out. We went back to the main place and we said, "Why didn't you send someone out to look for us?" They didn't even know we were out there. Noone at all knew we were gone. So that was a little disconcerting. Gould: Did you encounter any animals during the night? Lourie: No, we didn't. I didn't even get out of the car. We were just huddled in there. Gould: They might have been curious and come up to it to find out what was in the car. That's amazing. It sounds like a wonderful adventure and opportunity. How did participating in the program, and being there, change your life? Lourie: I don't know really how it changed my life. I had traveled before I went to Africa. I'd been to Europe and I'd been to India, so it wasn't a complete culture shock .. But I found the Africans to be extremely warm, extremely friendly. There weren't that many higher-ups in town, and I didn't really socialize with higher-up Africans. But all the people that we had working for us and just had daily contact with, were just extremely nice, extremely open. I thought about the whole experience for a long time after we came back, and I thought it was wonderful for my children because they not only learned French, but they didn't have any prejudices at all when we came home-because in the '60s still- Gould: I hear you. Lourie: And so it was, I think, a good experience for them. And I remember it as being a wonderful time. Gould: What difference do you think it would have made if the spouses and children had not gone to Africa but had stayed home in the United States? Lourie: I think that would have been extremely hard, to be separated for 2 years. I don't think we would have gone if the program had said that I'd have to stay home. . That would have been too hard. Gould: Do you think that would have had an impact on the program at all? Lourie: I don't know. It would be hard to say. Probably. There certainly would have been many more singles. Gould: For that length of time, right. How did you prepare to go over? I mean, you were living in the United States, you had a home, you had a life here. Lourie: Well, we didn't have a home. We never owned a house 'til we came back from Africa. We were always renting. We rented a house in Baltimore, and then we came down here for the orientation. So we didn't have that many possessions, really, before we went over. We had a dog, though, a beagle, and we had to leave him behind. We weren't going to take a dog over to Africa. So that was hard for the children to separate from the dog. We'd had him about 2 or 3 years. Other than that, we didn't prepare, really. We took clothes, and that was it. We hoped we were going to have an adventure. Gould: Wow. It sounds like you did. If you could do this all over again, is there anything that you would change? Lourie: No. I'm sure all the other countries were different. Each country that everybody went to was an entirely different experience. But, no, there wasn't anything that I would change, just that I would have loved to have gone out on the trucks and done what they were doing if I had had no children.. Gould: You mentioned that you were teaching English. Lourie: Yes. Gould: Could you tell me a little bit more about that? Lourie: I can't really remember it that well.. I was trying to remember the other day. There were 2 adults, fairly educated adults, probably schooled in African schooling and they spoke French. They held positions in town, and they just wanted to learn English. I think I taught them in the late afternoon and the evenings, and I did this for a couple of months. But I can't really remember the details of the class. Gould: Had you previously taught? Lourie: No, no. I worked for 4 years before we were married, in bacteriology, but I had never taught before. Gould: So you learned another field while you were there. Lourie: Mm-hmm. Gould: Is there anything else that you would like to add or any particular stories that you would like to tell us about? Lourie: I really can't think of anything in particular, just that it was a wonderful experience. My husband had a marvelous time. And we had fun, too. The family had fun. And as I said, a major attraction was going out on that river every weekend. My 5-year- old learned how to waterski. The other 2 didn't, but he did. And they all swam; they could all swim from the age of 2. Gould: Was that your last time in Africa? Lourie: Yes. I did not go back. Gould: Or your children? Lourie: No, my children haven't gone back to Africa. Gould: Thank you for this interview.
