the conclusion that the main
reason for drop-outs is that the
schools don't offer youngsters
enough to hold them.

The plastic is soft as flesh. It
is about the same weight as lung
tissue. It is odorless, tasteless,
non-irritating and permanent.
It is porous, with thousands
of fine irregular holes, closely
resembling real lungs. The
lung's natural fibers grow into
the synthetic sponge ana ancnor
it in place. The result is a repair
job that fills out a damaged
lung to its natural shape.
Without repairs of this sort,
a person becomes siaD-siaea,
with a hollow instead of the
usual chest bulge.
The new plastic is the latest
of many medical attempts to
solve the lung repair problem.
It was invented by Lawrence
Heightshoe, a Denver plastics
company manager. He is a world
war one veteran disabled in that
war.
Heightshoe has a private la
boratory in Longmont, near
Denver. But he made the first
batch of lung filler in his wife's
kitchen oven.
The new lung has been used
on human patients, replacing
bubbles of lucite, which are
light-weight plastic spheres
about the size of golf balls.
The substitute lung problem
is world-wide, for lung collapse
for tuberculosis alone is done on
hundreds of thousands. Cancer
operations are adding more.

Another point made clear In
this article is that, contrary to
the general belief, dissatisfac
tion with some phase of school
life loomed considerably larger
than economic reasons.
"For some students, of course,"
points out the Companion,
"there Is a money problem. But
there is little place in the com
plex industrial set-up of today
for half-educated teen-agers.
"In a recent survey taken in
Louisville,. Ky., two-thirds of
the youngsters who quit school
were still unemployed a month
later, although jobs were said
to be plentiful at the time."
Correction of this problem Is
not lormiaaoiy difficult, say

RARELY are competent, de
pendable Doctors, bricklayers
or salesmen produced on a
foundation of "subsidized
security" or "paid idleness."
Human nature is just not
built that way. Man must
strive for his rewards.
The Doctor's rewards and
clientele are based on the con
fidence of patients, built up
through years of achievement.
He has to study hard, work
hard, render service in order
to build and retain a practice.
A great deal of the response
to treatment depends on confi
dence in the Doctor. Not only
is there physical reaction to
this feeling of confidence, in
the method of treatment, but
belief in the Doctor causes us
to follow instructions more
carefully.
In our present free economy,
as his rewards are based on
his personal achievement, the
Doctor must render the high
est type of service, of which
he is capable. The vast major
ity of American Doctors pre
fer it that way.
