Socialized Medicine.
fNU of tho outstanding qucs-
tious o the day Is whether
the federal government should em
bark upon a urogram of social
medicine. Pros and cons of the
question are constantly appearing
In the press. In the forms of edi
torials and quotations from dispu
tants and Impartial analysts, and
It Is the BUliject of the seasonal
debates bctwecli Oregon high
school orators. The Issue has al
ready been settled lit the affirma
tive so fur us It concerns Import
ant cities of the United Stales,
which now huve In operation a
system of hospitalization Insur
ance which Is winning Increasing
popularity and promises to be
greatly extended In scope within
the noxt few years.
Attention was called to lite plan
recently when Mrs. Mollie H. Lalb
son of Brooklyn found It possible
to accommodate the arrlvul of the
stork at one of Brooklyn's most
modern hosplluls at a cost of $8.50,
that foe Including expense of the
delivery room and u somi-urlvato
room for a week,.
This accommodation came to her
as a memhor of the group of some
65,000 Now Yorkers enrolled In the
hospitalization Insurance v 1 a n.
Each member pays ubout three
cents a day, or 111) a year, und is
entitled to treatment ut ouo of the
174 Now York hospitals affiliated'
with the program.
In general the plan operates oh
the theory that if a sufficient num
ber of membors are enrolled hos
pitalization may' bo offered at
"wholesale" rutcB. Kucli member
Is entitled to 21 days of bed, board
and clinical treatment. Personal
doctors are retained by the ptf
tlentB and paid by them.
Under terms of the New York
program the hospital insurance)
group member Ib also entitled to
financial aid In paying his hospit
al bill It the victim of an accident
In another part of United States
Or Canada.
The Increasing scopo of tlio plan
has made It a vital Issuo in tlio
Medical world which Ih divided in
to two camps over tlio matter. In
recent yours of tlio depression
thousands of pliyslcluns have found
their practice cut down bocuuso of
social prog ranis of medical care
and have hud greatly docroaBcd In
comes becaiiso of Inability ut pa
tients lo pay their bills.
Dr. Thomas I'arran Jr., former
state commissioner of health in
New York and recently appointed
Burgeon general of the United
HtHtes public health service, Is one
of those who believes hospital in
surance and similar systems will
do little to aid the physician.
Homo method of mrdlt-ul and
hospital aid sponsored by (lie fed
eral government whirli will permit
physic-inns to continue as private
practitioners Is favored by Dr.
Parran.
Socialized medical care, free
drugs and clinical cure for (hose
who cunnot afford to pity Ik urged
by tho new surgeon Renirul. Ills
plan would nld physicians finan
cially by put tins the 1117.000 doc
tors In United States in active
charge of the program, permitting
them to carry on their private
practice wherever possible.
Tho federal government now
spends t20.0O0.00M annually on lis
public health servli a a.. I !s enn
Bliuilly extending this field of so
clal welfare work.
Uncle Sam on the' Alert.
A TTHACTKO by tho hugo mill
lary activities and warlike
maneuvers going on in Europe, as
well as by tho gradual conquest of
Ethiopia and the wur-tlireatciiing
clashes occurring between Japan
ese and Russians, Americans aro
apt to loso Bight of what Is hap
pening In their own country in (he
way of national defense prepara-
tlons. Let there b no mistaken
idea that Uncle Sara is merely sit
ting on the sidelines watching oth
er nations Increase their fighting
strength without doing a little
strengthening on his own account.
Yesterday, for Instance, the bouse
passed a bill to Increase the army
air force to 4,000 planes, and the
senate, It Is predicted, will add Its
approval. The house at the same
time passed a companion bill to or-
gunizo an air reserve training
corps, consisting chiefly of youths
between 17 and 24. '
Concurrently tho senate muni
tions committee recommended the
nationalization of enough Indus
trial plants to produce warships,
guns and powder for the peace
time needa of the army and navy.
The day's events of military char
acter also included a personal pro
posal to President Roosevelt for a
federal allocation of 175,000,000 for
construction of national guard arm
ories throughout the country.
These ltomB, together with many
others of like character which
havo been chronicled in news dis
patches from Washington the paHt
few months, are umplo proof that
the United Btntes is fully cog
nizant of the necessity for building
up and maintaining Its national dc
fenso units.
In a house military committee
roport that proceded passage of
the measure to incroase the army's
air arinnda, It was asserted that
4,000 planes, rather than tho pres
ent authorized Btrcngth of 1,800,
was tho absolute minimum need
ed for defense of the nation. Am
plifying this assertion, the commit
tee emphasized that many foreign
netloiiB now have vast fleets and
huge airplane carriers, adding:
"These facts strongly emphasize
that our hat Ion is no longer pro
tected from air attacks because of
the wltlo oxtent of the Atlantic und
Pacific oceans and wo must gov-
om ourselves accordingly."
With this sentiment thnro will he
widespread accord. Friendly ges
tures, soft-spoken words .and
"good-neighbor" declarations will
not alone Insure national safety.
Nor will a convennnt ward off at
tack, as Ethiopia and China can
testify from their misplaced re-
lianco on the league of nations.
The best gunrantoe ngnlnst atlnck
Is still a formidable and efficient
defense system, and It will con-
tliiuo to ho tho best until civiliza
tion reaches that stage whero tho
will to havo war no loncor ex

Kindled her carefully. "Come,
we'll walk on tho boardwalk In the
sun. Tho sun makes everything so
much brighter."
Helen laughed. "Walt, I'll get a
bat."
They walked slowly arm In arm
along the boardwalk, engrossed in
conversation. As they talked Hick
was conscious of her beauty; how
she blended Into the richly colored
tropical scene; tho emerald-green
sea. the daxzling sand. Helen's ash-
blonde hair, her warm skin, her
slim, supple form they were all
indelibly stamped on his memory.
He would always associate her and
this lovely scene. , Ho brought
himself to the problem at hand
with an effort. Ho wanted to help
her. Ho had come down to help
her . . .
"Helen, family Interference has
battered more marriages than

drink put together. Sometimes
even well-meaning relatives can

He drew a deep breath, wondered
it ho sounded as pedantic to her
as he did to himself, but he went
firmly on. "Walter Isn't entirely
to blHine. '
"No?" she asked huskily.
"Hasn't he listened and abetted
and been Influenced by them? If
he truly loved me, he wouldn't
even let them discuss me."

make me so happy, too. I want him
so!"
Dirk's eyes clouded, but he smil
ed. "Good girl, Helen!"
She pressed his arm und they
walked for a while In silence, each
thinking his own thoughts. A
stondy stream of gaily dressed,
laughing people flowed along the
boardwulk going In the opposite di
rection. Suddenly two persons de
tached themselves from the crowd
and stood staring at them. Helen
looked up suddenly to meet two
hostile pairs of eyes, but since she
didn't know them, she continued
her walk which fitted so rhythmi
cally with Dirk's.
"Did you see that couple, Dirk,
the way they staled at us?"
"Ycrt, do you know them?"
"1 never laid oyos on them be
ftfre." '
"Maybe they were bowled ovor
with your beauty," grinned Dirk.
Helen laughed. "Oh, Dtrk. Look,
there's Fredericks and baby. Oh,
yoohoo!" Helen called gaily.
"Come on, Dirk, we can crawl over

Helen sent Wnlter a night letter
at the apartment and at the mo
ment he rend It. Dirk was boarding
the train New York hound. Helen
in a white flannel suit and low
white shoes saw him off. She wav
ed her white felt hnt until the
train was out of sight. His 1a.t
glimpse of her was her smiling
tanned face, with Its halo of nsh
hlonde hair that caught tho sun
nnd reflected Its rays like a pool

- 'Um. ro young, so hopeful as she

Accomplishments of CCC Recounted
Douglas Crews Make Fine Records
Editor's Note Tho month of I
April marks the third anniversary
of the civilian conservation corps,
During- the three years the CCC
camps have been maintained in
the Koseburg area, much valuable
work has been done In develop
ment and improvement work in
Douglas county, according to V. V.
Harpham, supervisor of the I'mp
qua Notional forest. The follow
ing is one of a series of articles
summarizing- the achievements of
the CCC in the Rosebu-g area:
camp Mckinley
The average person often won
ders what the civilian conservation
corps is doing in his immediate vi
cinity. As it is now close to the
third birthday of this organization,
perhaps we at McKlnley camp can
be forgiven for breaking Into print
and bragging a little.
First, lot's look at the map and
see what our major achievement,
the Tioga truck trail, looks like. It
is a forest protection road extend
ing from the end of the McKinley
county road up Middle creek
through the saddle between Coos
river anil Coquille river water
sheds across Williams river at the
mouth of Cedar creek and out at
Melrose. On this project, McKin
ley camp built about twenty-two
miles. The balance was complet
ed by the Melrose camp. The rea
son for this project was the in
accessibility to the country devas
tated by the Williams river fire of
1932 and the Tioga fire of 1918.
During these fires, crews fought
fires tor two or three days at a
time without food, because it waB
impossible to get supplies to them.
We can now transport fire fight
ers and equipment through the cen
ter of tills entire area in one and
one-half hours.
We have also completed five
miles of the Cold sprlngs-Reston
road which takes off from the
Tlosa road at Cold springs in a
southerly direction down the divide
between Burnt creek' and Williams
river.- Eventually this road is to
contiuiio south past Scotty's cabin
and connect with tile Coos Bay wa
gon road and leads into Rcstoli.
This wil lopen up an additional
route into the Williams river arenr
for fire protection.
We have completed one and one
half miles of the Burnt mountain
road, taking off from the Tioga
road at the summit of the Coos
river and Coquille river divide in
a southerly direction toward Burnt
mountain.
Horse trails Built
The following horse trails have
been completed leading off from
the Tloca road:
The Rogers creek trail takine a
northerly direction about three
miles up Rogers creek.
Tho Buzzard creek trail leading
south about two and one-half miles
up Buzzard creek.
Four miles of trail connecting
the Tioga mad with Coos moun
tain lookout.
These roads and trails are all
Part of the protection plan cover
ing the largest body of standing
Douglas fir in the state of Ore
gon. Each spring we have maintained
all protection trails in this area.
A new tower and lookout house
has been constructed on Coos

A new tower and lookout house
has been constructed on Brewster
rocx.
We have rebuilt fifteen miles ot
telephone lines' from the Lawhorn
ranch to Tioga ranger station and
put in twelve miles of new tele
phone construction from that sta
tion to the Cedar Creek camp.
This gives us a through forest
service line from Multifield to
Roseburg, hooking up ail lookouts
in this vicinity and making a com
plete network of protection tele
phone communication open two
ways; also connecting Coos and
Douglas County Fire Patrol asso
ciations.
We are now working on the re- -4
construction of that section of the
old Coos Bay wagon road between
McKinley and Fairvlew.
TheBe roads and trails have
been built through very rough
country. Plenty ot rock has been
encountered and numerous bridges
have been neceBBury. The long
est bridge constructed was sev
enty feet. Wet weather has requir
ed thousands of ynrdB of rock sur
facing in order that we could get
men out onto the various projects.
Ask any lumber operator in this
vicinity and you will hear a very
flattering story of the work done
by all CCC men on fire suppres
sion. Men from this camp have
fought fires as far south as Brook
Inns and Medford; as far north as i
the McKenzie burn; as far east aB
Quartz mountain, and westward to
the salt water. The Jacksonville
hill, McKenzie bridge, Powers, and
Cailapoola fires were all included
in our program.
So much for visible attainments.
Myrtle Wood Boosted ,
Indirectly, We have advertised
myrtle wood novelties all over the
state of Illinois. Fifty per cent
of this company has at least throe
myrtle wood souvenirs each which
he has finished In the camp wood
working shop. None Of these ar
ticles have been sold, but they are
sent or taken to people back in tho
central states who have never
heard of Oregon before, and who
aro amazed at the beauty of these
wooden novelties.
Over 600 boys have learned con
siderable of the theory of forestry.
The relation of' forests to our dally
life; how to swing an axej pull a
saw; fight a forest fire, and many
other little tricks. We have plant,
ed in them the thrill of- construe
Hon; the ability to build; the idea
of helping themselves. They were
astonished at the versatility ot
woodsmen and have unconscious,
ly tried to acquire his self-confidence.
About ninety per cent of
them never saw a forest before
Coming to this Camn. anil nvm
sixty per cent never had a job be
fore. Only those who welcomed
them when they came and who
told them goodbye when they left,
can appreciate the character build
ing completed out here among the
troes and hills. .. ,
Measured ih dollars- and ceiits,
wo have done quite a job, but tho
immeasurable benefits to the boys
who have passed through their
training at this camp will he with
them for the balance of their lives.
They have become "forest con
scious." Soon these boys will be
voting and we are sure we can
count on them voting favorably
and Intelligently on future fores
try legislation.
