More members of the medical p!0 fession are going into military ser vice eveiy day.: Young doctors j Uft out of medical school, doctors who have barely established themselves in the community, and long-estab- 1 lished men who would soon begin to shift the burden of their practice to new patrons are donning uniforms For the medical men remaining at , home, the task will become gigantic But one and all they are p im lj ■ termined that essential medical c-ue will be provided to civilians. There are many ways in which la. man can help in this medical cri sis. He can guard his own ph.si. cal wellbeing by keeping regular I hours and eating and sleeping prop erly. He can be tolerant if he is kept waiting for an appointment. And ne should follow stringently the ad- ■ vice of his physicians in order to ie- turn himself to full usefulne».-, as .¡oon as possible These are the t n- 1 gible ways in which the layman < an help the doctor. In addition, there is a vast intan- 1 ble aid that we can give aur , cal men. We can keep in mind the fact that they are a part of the system of private medicino that lias doubled the span of life for the ordin ary citizen in a comparatively few 1 years. The doctors in the armed forces, just as the ones staying at home .spent years in training and | more years interning because com- petened and efficiency are the very foundation stones of our medical sys tem. There is no taint of “ ism or j politics in their blood. The worst dis-service we could do them in their absence would be to lend ear to crackpot schemes to Inject political control of any form whatsoever into the medical profession. As it stands today, American medicine gives us the best care in the world.. Let's keep it that way. “ TOP THAT 10% EY NEW YEAR’S” FulUiaher a Published Friday of MCh « « k by the Pioneer Publishing Co . at Beaverton. Oregon.
