indicates a job costing two to three hundred thousand.
v That plane flying over Culver City, California, makes you
think that the day is not far distant when flying around the
world on one hop will be possilrio. The plane has already
traveled over eighteen thousand miles. But a nine-mile circle
is somewhat easier than flying 'over oceans nnd deserts and
mountain.
' It's circus day in La Grande. Boys and gills who read
thrilling tales of wild animals can now journey to the big lop
and see the real thing. Adults, minus the good fortune and
happy alibi of a youngster or two, trail along to renew their
;yOTtirh7VymTs"!S oTlfly
educational event. People who live in smaller communities
where a large zoo is unknown acquire knowledge of strange
animals and strange lands on the circus, lot and like it.
Always old, it is forever new. Who (s there, retaining the
spark of youth, who doesn't anticipate it with pleasure? It's
circus day in Ln Grande.
I'AYJNG FOR B1C1NC SICK
The high cost of being sick has received some attention
at the convention of the American Medical Association in
Portland, with those in attendance arguing that the cost is
determined by factors other than the fees charged by physi
cians. Much discussion of the subject during the past year
indicates that there is truth in what the doctors say. It is,
everyone ngrees, increasingly expensive to suffer' an illness,
but considering the service rendered and the long period of
preparation and largo investment of money consumed in
' preparing for that service, doctors are frequently underpaid
instead of overpaid. The solution is in a more comprehen
sive plan of community aid for those unable to pay their way
when doctors and hospitals must be utilized. We take care
of the mental welfare of our young people, the physical com
forts of our aged, but we devote very little, if any, attention
to the health of our citizenry generally when indivduals need
a doctor's care or hospitalization and aren't able to pay for
it. Doctors and hospitals cannot be expected to render health
services to all needy cases without compensation. Yet they
all do it, intentionally or because they can't help themselves,
lime after time. The average country practitioner has thou
sands of dollars on his books that he can't collect and that he
hasn't any hope of collecting. Some of the accounts could well
le paid, and should be, but many others are out of the ques
tion. The doctor must classify it as charity work and forget
it. In practically all instances he is glad to render the service
regardless of payment. And organized communities are too
prone to let the whole problem slide with the various prac
titioners carrying the burden. County and city do give some
aid,- but it is pitifully small. That is what's wrong. We
should have a better organized means of rendering this neces
sary service. It would mean much to the health and happi
ness of self-respecting (people who hesitate, to incur an
obligation that they cannot pay, yet who value health and
who would guard against the appearance of disease. Ijnge
cities are beginning to give attention to the problem. They
are providing funds to help carry the burden, to maintain
clinics and various healing services. But the smaller com
munities lag behind. Because the iuiiiiIh r of needy cases is
relatively small and because the doctors in the community
have taken the responsibility in the past, there is no definite
effort to'.vard correction.
