RBIEMBBAND AVEN6EPEARL HARBORATTACK War Bonds Blast The Way To A Quicker Victory - We’re remembering a lot of things on this anniversary of the treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japs on Dec. 7, 1941. We’re remembering, of course, that we owe them something in kind. We’re remembering that buying War Bonds helps pay them back in kind. We’re remembering that the Sixth War Bond campaign is on and that this day is the logical day for Americans to buy an extra bond during the drive. We’re remembering that the drive total is $14,000,000,000 and that the Japs won’t feel so good to know that their Dec. 7 treachery evoked a peak day, in War Bond sales. We’re remembering, too, that Christmas is almost here and that an extra War Bond is the gift “with a future.” Speedway Post No. 198 The American Legion Scuttle—to cut a hole through a ship’s bottom so she sinks—is derived from an old English word which meant “dish.” Don’t try to repair dectrical equipment unless you are an electrician.

LAST spring a woman of culture left her home in one of America’s principal cities to spend six months in Arkansas. Soon after her arrival she came down with a common ailment and needed a surgeon. Her new neighbors almost failed to convince her that the village doctor was safe to She asked: “If he’s so wonderful, what’s he doing here? A really good doctor can make a lot of mopey in a city.” ■' She was right *on ew point. This doctor r»«W make a lot of money in a city. He has not fared poorly where he is, but he never will be rich. He is not so much interested in money, however, as in a certain kind of success that’s not measurable in dollars. He has a priceless estate of human lives. He can’t leave his house without meeting people who owe their very existence to his skill. A Rich THIS country doctor Estate has the unfeigned love of his neighbors His work has their unqualified approval, but that’s only part of the story. He likes tktnt too. Nobody suffers for medical attention where he lives. “He gets paid for it,” do you say? Yes, he collects from about half his patients. But the humblest sharecropper can have the best doctor he ever heard of, and never see a bill. There are thousands of such doctors. »c c Knowing the people of his neighborhood is worth a great deal to a physician’s success. .Even a specialist, who treats strangers almost exclusively, will agree that a patient’s history is more helpful to the doctor than

n examination. That’s why I coni want to swap doctors with iu, and 1 hope you feel the same -ay. Together, we can save : merica from political, socialized medicine. he Case A FIRM protest from History the forks of the creek, mountain coves, sod farming towns can keep the, Wagner National Health Bill, J now decomposing in a pigeon-, hole of a Senate sub-committee, from ever coming to life. It was' troduced with small hope of I assage, its chief purpose perhaps was to raise the issue and tart people talking about medical service as something to be s andardized and rationed like asoline. My doctor is a busy man. . He works more nearly 16 hours a day than eight. A standardized working week of, say, 40 hours for him would make two new doctors necessary in our neighorhood. Of course both new men would have to study the community’s health record, have to be as well schooled as the older doctor and have to receive-suitable alaries ’ It would be a bad deal, three ways: (1) Some of my doctor’s atients would have to accept treatment from a man with all o learn about titm. (2) Since three men cost more to maintain han one, all of us would spend more money for medical aid. (3) My good doctor wouldn’t be busy. The work he loves (his state of lives) would be taken away from him. I figure his agile mind would turn to somehing else, and that he’d quit bang a doctor at all.
