Oqr heartfelt sympathy goes out to the county court, especially Commissioner Lucius Robinson, the newly-elected member and ourown citizen, who takes the blunt of the controversy because the management of the hospital comes under his jurisdiction. The AID’S could have made their requests in much softer words and would have gained their point just the same. But the ultimatum as presented will take quite some time for the rank and file of the citizenry of the county to relish, though swallow’ they must.

Pruitt had access to the hos­ pital for a number of years, but subsequently was de­ nied its use by the MD’s w 10 will not allow anyone to practice in the hospital but a registered physician, an MI). Recently Dr. Pruitt sent a petition to the county court to aliow osteopaths to practice and allow their patients to enter the hospital under their care. The Oregon State Medical Society, of which the MD’s are members are now the only ones allowed to practice in the county hospital. .After Dr. Pruitt’s petition be­ came public, the MD’s sent in ultimatum to the county court that if this was done, they and the nurses would all walk out and leave the hospital flat, or words to that effect. It was an ultimatum in no misunderstandable words. It amounted to this: You do as we say or we quit. That was not a nice way for the physicians of this county to act. We personally regard the county physicians among the mosi able in the state, both as practitioners and men among men, all good citizens. They have a duty to perform for the good of the com­ munity county, state and nation, and we cannot be­ lieve all of them would carry out such a threat as given the county court. The health of the county is practically in their hands, and we most certainly add that the other professional men such as Dr Pruitt and Dr. Barlow and our own Dr. (’oilman, help materially in keeping our citizens fit for life's battles. The MD’s don’t do it all, but they are the main hub in the spoke, and we all realize this. In ordinary times and conditions, if such an ulti­ matum was handed to us, it would receive only one answer—When anyone said to us. you do so and so or we quit—right there one of us would quit, because if we gave in, they would be absolute masters of any sit­ uation. We would merely sit on the sidelines and watch. BUT, the county court has the welfare of the county to consider, and we do not see what else they can do but surrender to the \11)'s and let them rule the roost.

T/?c people uho live in the cities, towns and villages along Southern Pacific's lines in the West have just provided a fine example of war-time cooperation. We think this cooperation deserves recognition and we want to say "thank you" . . . since Southern Pacific was primarily concerned. And we re quite sure the many thousands of men in uniform who benefitted too, would also like to join us in this expression of appreciation. Early in December we were faced with the problem of providing trans­ portation during the holidays for a very large number of men in the armed services who were to be given holiday furloughs. Because of the pressure of war traffic on our equipment... cars and locomotives ... we knew that we could not provide transportation for all these service men and the normal number of civilian holiday travelers too. So we arranged a somewhat drastic and extensive program requiring coach reservations for virtually all trains, and set aside a major portion of both Pullman and coach space for the service men. Then we ran ad­ vertising telling people what our problem was, and why we could not take care of everyone who would like to travel during the holidays. hsked people not to "Try the Train". i I As a result many people gave up holiday trips they very much w anted to make. The amount of civilian travel, compared with December. 1941. was considerably reduced and w e took care of the service men in good shape. There was comparatively little congestion, and all essential trace' was accomm»xlated. So we know that people generally have cooperated . . . and we give vou all a hearty "thank vou." . Mas we also express our appreciation at this time for your considerate and understanding attitude towards Southern Pacific and its service during the last twelve months?
