ORE IT IS TOO LATE
No sincere, thinking person wants to
stand in the way of progressive improve-
ments for the benefit of the people of
our country. But we all have the re-
Sl)Onsil)ilhv of bein,, sure that:a sug-
ed change in our way o'()mg things
really a change or the bert.or,
Today, as in the years past, there are
, those who say that the health and wel-
fare of the American people would be
Cared for hotter if medicine were social-
ized. 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.

SAVINGS BONDS
SALES COST LOW t
The operating cost for advertis-
ing and selling • United States Sav-
ings Bonds during 1948 amounted
to at)out forty cents for every
$1,000 in bonds sold to public in-
vestors, William C. H. Lewis, State
l)ire(.tm' of the Savings Bond Di-
visil)ll, /%rlnounaed.
"Never in the history of our
country has there been a sale of
securities at any time appvbaching
this extremely low cost It was
made possible." Lewis said, "only
through the splendid cooperation
of banks management, advertis-
ing concerns, magazines, newspa-
pers. and thousands of patriotic
volunteer citizens who gave attert-
tion to the Savings Bond sales and
the promotion of thrift among all
classes of people.
During the 1948 spring cam-
paign, Lewis continued, the adver-
tising and publicity space alone
would have cost 50 million dollars.
All this was contributed free. Cur-
rent advertisements carried by
1.000 magazines and countlgss
newspapers throughout the nation
are donated by publishers them-

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. Give them the ability to
selves or business firms sponsor-
ing bond ads.
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.
