These people either do not know. )vAst has happened to the people of all countries where compulsory medicine has been tried, or they do not care. But the record is very, clear. In New Zealand: in Germany, in Saskatchewan, in England and everywhere else where attempted socialized medicine has /otatred the standards and quality of , medical care. At the same time, the cost has increased, fantastically. It has been the people, more than the doctors, who have really suffered. Compulsory medicine has damaged the medical profession, however. Its main damage has been to take away the incentive which causes a man to con- stantly strive to increase his knowledge, skills and service. Under socialized medi- ,¢ine a doctor is neither a highly corn, Potent doctor, nor a "below average" doctor-he is,just a doctor. He receives the Same pay, irrespective of the degree of his knowledge and skill. In America, our objective--as doctors is to constantly endeavor to improve the quality of medical care and its avail- ability to the people on a sound, pre- Paid basis. Our country is already the most fortunate of all nations in the .quality and cost of medical care for the people. It Woul not be right for us to sit idly by and permit social planners to lower the standards and quality of medical care for our citizens "which is exactly What has happened in every country where medicine has been socialized. It is our duty to take the facts to the Amer- ican people before it is too late.

Faria Fmmhal, IIha Da Madeira January 22, 1949 Welfare Bu41ding, Dear Editor: It is with the deepest regret that I read the editorial under the by-line of Harry R. Bay. Re- gret because o" its destructive- ness and its complete lack of'un- derstanding of the scope of a "recreation" program, the future needs of a growing conmmnity, the psychology of children. Taking the editorial paragraph by paragraphl "Enlisting the aid of the city's schools" has been in existence from the very beginning. The schools have given advisory sug- gestions and cooperation at all times. As for "railroading," a most un- fortunate use of words; I would gather from this that every pro- ject of interest t& the majority would come under this heading. Surely, since by democratic pro- cedure of the majority vote of the people, the Shelton-Mason County Community Council program should be given an opportunity to prove itself and not undergo un- dermining. Certainly, there was "consider- able opposition." The Wright Bro- thers, the airplane, the telephone, the raih'oad engine, Edison, to mention a very few, all went through the process of opposition. We are fortunate that they sur- vived the backwardness and in- sular tradition of these past oppo- nents, and we can now enjoy a much easier and happier life. Certainly, there are "problems" and we are "lackg" facilities. We also lack equipnent but these are just the prob!ems of the grow- ing state. That the program is "inconflic- lion with programs already es- tablished by schools, churches, etc." is again totally misleading. Parallelling and in conjunction with, yes. But "conflicting" defin- itely no. And "relax parental discipline and control over child,'on" and "forfeit our franchise to assert our influence on that which we give up--our children" or " lure youth from the control of parents" are nice nsc of words. From this I gather we should beware of churches, schools, scout move- ments, music teachers---these all come under the heading of "turn them over to some one else." Per- haps it's because of this "let George do it, I'm too busy," di- sease. The scramble is not entirely for the h "almighty dollar" but for that appiness that is our birthright. And because we strive for the food and living that is needed for existence, I fail to see that we forget "our innate duties" in the process• In fact, the whole pro- gram revolves about character, sportsmanship, leadership, which were decided in measuring the Golden Boy and Girl. I fail-to see the danger of ap- pealing to the "larger government- al body for money. The schools do it, the counti% do it wiLhout loss of "sovereignty," and the bene- fits here are great indeed. In the process one does not give up "lo- cal responsibility to a centralized unit." We are as children to a parent, and even this parallel is too great• And we give up our "local freedom" only in so far as it is to the danger of the greatest number..Don't fo?get that we are in a democracy• Since this is not Utopia and since people will have fun, we must provide facilities and activ- ities so that idleness is not the most destructive phase of a per- son's life. When "work" becomes play and "fun" it becomes recreation, our scope. Your news editor seems to forget thaL children become men in due course of time and as men the lessons they learn in their daily contact with other children form tht basis of their future ac- tions. They must learn early to get along with their fellow chil- dren and since they must live with their fellow beings the rest of their lives tffey must get this broadening experience early and late. That there is "something deep- er to life" than just pleasure seek- ing is obvious. Why it is embodied in the editorl is beyond me. Our whole object is not just play for the sake of play but play for the bnilding of character and to pre- pare youth for the struggle for existence that will be theirs to come.

BOAT SHOW DUE FEBRUARY 19-27 Seattle--Billed as "The west's great marine event in the boating capital of the nation." the third annual Pacific Northwest B)at Show has been scheduled for Feb- ruary 19 to 27 in the new Seattle Armory, Jack HAckman, show chairman for the Pacific North- west Marine Dealers' Associatioon, announced today. "Last year's Seattle Boat Show gained national acclaim," Hick- man reports, "and already the third annual show has outstripped the second annual both in number and value of exhibits and enter- tainment features." Marine exhibits booked for this year's show will jam the acre-and one-quarter Armory floor and necessitate an overflow display of the newest in pleasure and com- mercial craf outside at the Ar- mory entrance, HAckman declares. Together with the commercial exhibits, educational displays and a series of special events are being planned to point up that by virtue of superlative cruising waters and the greatest concentration of boat- ownership in the world, the Puget Sound area is the boating capital of the nation. meet situations and you give them tile ability to get the most out of life and to do this not at the ex- pense of others but together for others. "More home work" to do? I'll leave this for Mr. Oltman to an- swer. Fifty years ago we find that in those days both Shelton and Elms had no such things as recreation program. And that there iv a certain "nunber of ir- responsible parents a n d off- spring" is so very obvious, and as long as human nature is hu- man you will find this existing many years hence. Poor parents. It seem that when ,you,end your children to schools, to churches, to Scouts, to other like "institntions" y o u shun your responsibilities on to others. That I agree most heartily with the very fine work a, nd the find- ings of the Churches and their leaders, I can't put-too strongly. In fact, if the last four para- graphs of this editorial wers em- bodied in an editorial without all the preceding paragraphs, I would not hesitate to say that it would be one very well worth 'reading, I am writing this as my own opinion and as a private individ- ual.

Knight went home: Mrs. Grace Craddick to Kamilche; Miss Marjorie Evans to Everett; and Mrs. Marie McKay motored to Bremerton to visit her sister and brother-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. San- ders; and Mrs. Viola Fitchett and twin sons to Olympia.
