g l IQ U I
By BILLY ROSE
Today, I’d like to tell you about a talk I had with a doctor
who is doing research work at one of the New York cancer clinics.
He made me promise not to use his name because he was afraid
he might be blacklisted by the foundation which pays his salary.
“ L ik e a lo t o f young d o c to rs ," he
said, " I c o u ld n 't get used to s ittin g

"H o w d id you go about g e ttin g
s ta rte d ? ”
“ I m ade the usual a p p lic a tio n s .”
said the M D., " b u t I soon found
the hospitals and u n iv e rs itie s had
no funds to h ire research men,
and th a t I cou ld n’ t get a jo b unless
a fou nda tion paid m y salary. To
co m p lic a te things, m ost foundations
w on’t give you a fe llo w sh ip unless
you f ir s t have a Job. In a d dition,
I t ’ s alm ost im p ossib le to get a

and, o f course, you can’t publish
such papers u n til you’ ve w orked
in a la b o ra to ry and had a chance
to do research w o rth w r itin g about.
" I t fin a lly bo ile d down to th is —

N old man sat one evening by his door,
His face was tranquil, in his eyes was peace,
His hands were Still, his long life work was
done,
He had a look about him o f release.
"IIO W LO NG d id you w o rk fo r

“ About a y e a r ," said the doctor,

"Y o u could have earned m ore

And 1, w ho needed much to learn the things
That he had learned, sat down beside him there
O n the low doorstep in the scented dusk,
He smiled his gentle smile, he touched my hair,
He said My child, 1, too, was reft less once,

And learned its secret He who truSts in God,
And who goes quietly, he will grow Strong.”
"W'e managed Io gel by," ¡aid
the medico, "b u t the fo llo w in g

and the youngster had to sleep
