DENIES HEALTH CENTERS INVITE STATE MEDICINE
Harvey Says Public Services | S
Designed to Aid Community.
Dr. Verne K Harvey, State Health Board Lead, today denied the assertion that the establishment of four public health centers in southern Indiana is a stepping-stone to “socialize” or state supervised medicine, d “There has been some criticism on that grounds, but our program really will act as a curb on any tendency toward state medicine,” Dr. Harvey said. Reports from the four centers, established by the board last February, indicate they are co-operat-
ing with the local physicians in|”
mapping our community health programs, he added. “Our program is to aid the sick community, not the sick individual, and the plan we have put into effect in southern Indiana will eliminate any need for socialized medicine in
ENTE i 4 THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES Gives King Keys to Castle
this state,” he claimed. “Socialized | medicine results when the com- | munity economic level makes ordi- | nary medical treatment impractical. |
Supervise Food Supply
“We supervise the water, milk and food supnlies and sewage disposal in these communities, and our public health nurses interpret the local physicians’ instructions to the patients.” The medical centers were established at Rising Sun, Huntingburg, New Albany and Princeton shortly after the January flood. They are superintended by one physician, a sanitary engineer and a staff of nurses. A major project being pressed in the southern districts is a tuberculosis “case-finding program,” Dr. Harvey reported. Tests are to be given to determine persons who have been exposed to the disease.
T. B. Rate Higher There
Pointing out that the tuberculosis rate is higher in the southern portion of the state than elsewhere, Dr. Harvey said that cases located by the survey would be treated by the local physician. With the opening of school, the four centers are expected to be able to extend their functions. Inspection of school water supply is another important problem for the Health Department, Dr. Harvey said. Despite the numerous modern consolidated country schools in In-
diana, there are many depending on | ~
wells for their water. In some the sewage disposal systems are inadequate, he said.
Home Building Contracts Gain 65 Per Cent in County Over 1936
Indianapolis showed a substantial private building gain during the first half of 1937, according to a survey by the F. W. Dodge Corp. Contracts for residential construction in Marion County showed a 65 per cent increase over last year's
first half. Contracts totaled $2.500,100 compared to $1,512,300 last year. Residential work in June alone amount. ed to $508,700. The Dodge Corp. report said:
Gain Held Significant The Indianapolis gain in residential work is particularly significant in view of the smaller gain which has been recorded as an average for
h| the 37 states east of the Rocky
Mountains. During the first six months, residential construction in this area was about 54 per cent ahead of the same months of 1936. “In a grouping of all private Indianapolis construction activities, the 1937 six-month total stands at $4,566,000, a gain of 82 per cent over the 1936 total, $2,508,200. At the same time, private activities far exceeded the public building expen-
OBSERVE CHANGING MARKET, CLUB TOLD
“You must keep in step with an ever changing market to succeed and survive,” J. C. Elliff, western manager of the Saturday Evening
Post, told Life Insurance Advertising Association members yesterday. He explained that changing conditions have removed the barriers of localities. “Modern mediums of advertising have changed the outlook of the buyer today and millions of new consumers create a continually changing market,” Mr, Elliff said.

ditures, which amounted to $1,807, - 800, a drop from the corresponding riod, the contract awards for public total of last year, $2,409,900. During the January-to-June pebuilding construction throughout the 37 eastern states dropped 17.5 per cent under the awards in the same months of last year. “Total construction in Indianapolis, including ail private and all public work, has made a gain of 30 per cent over last year’s six-month period. The current total of $6,373,800 compares very favorably with that of last year, $4,918,100. This percentage of gain in Marion County exceeds the average gain of 21 per cent which has been recorded for the 37 eastern states.
REPORTS SUSPICIOUS CAR TO AUTHORITIES
Bert Cook, 59, told police today
a man had driven up in front of
the Salvation Army Home on W. New York St., and told him:

Doctor's Mercy Killing, Suicide | Held Needless
By United Press SEATTLE, Wash, July 24— Friends of Dr. Guy S. Peterkinfound supreme irony today in his sacrifice of his own life and his son’s life. The nationally known urologist, one of the Pacific coast’s leading physicians, made a faulty diagnosis they said. He believed his son was doomed to a life-time of suffering from an incurable disease. Instead, they said, the son had been
rapidly recovering. Dr. Peterkin shot his son, Sher-
| to return to
man, 22, Thursday, and then killed himself.
“I believe Dr. Peterkin was overwrought by something that made him unable to see the boy's fine recovery,” a friend said. Miss Betty Campbell, niece of Dr. Peterkin, said Sherman had been recovering and had intended the University of Washington, where hé had been a brilliant student, next fall. Young Peterkin was traveling in Europe last year when he suffered a nervous collapse. His father went to Paris and brought him home. Otto Mittelstadt, coroner, said the notes Dr, Peterkin left indicated he had thought out the slaying and suicide carefully.

LEGAL OPINION MAY TRIM 200 PRISON TERMS
New Law Seeks to Correct Errors in Indeterminate Sentences.
Prison sentences for an estimated 200 inmates may be reduced by an Attorney General’s opinion on a law passed by the 1037 Legislature, it was reported today. The new law seeks to correct errors in indeterminate sentences, which were imposed under provisions of an older statute. A survey of 25 records taken at random from the Michigan Oity State Prison files showed that two men, under this opinion, are eligible for immediate release. Bentences on six of the others in this group would be reduced, the survey showed. The minimum sentence is to be applied where an indeterminate sentence was given wrongfully, according to the new law. Inmates of all three State penal institutions are to be included in the check-up of sentences to be
