REUNION OF VETS
Of interest to local members of
tha American Legion la the novel
membership contest recently Insti
tuted between the states of Oregon
and Mississippi. The way this con
test came about reads like a bt of
fiction. Elgheeen years ago. two
members of a supply company, 60th
Infantry, 6th division, a part of the
American army of occupation, bid
each other goodbye at Esch. Luxem
burg. They werw Sergeant O. E. Pal
meter of Salem, Ore., and Lieutenant
Adraln H. Boyd of Clarkadale. Miss.
Believe It or not, their paths did
not cross again until both went to
Indianapolis a few days ago to at
tend the national conference of de
partment commanders and adjutants
of the American Legion. Their un
expected reunion provided a dramatic
sidelight to the 1937 conference. The
two men met In an elevator at the
national headquarter building and
recognition leaped Into their eyes a
they spotted each other.
Both veterans are state department
commanders of the American Legion
for 1037-1938. the former lieutenant
being the leader of the department
of Mississippi and his former ser
geant being the state commander
of Oregon. After the first rush of
enthusiastic greetings, the former
sergeant challenged his former su
perior officer to a 1938 membership
contest. The formal challenge fol
lows: "Even after 18 years a sergeant still
has the Intestinal fortitude to chal
lenge his lieutenant. Therefore. Lieu
tenant Boyd, I challenge you and

your great department to a member

aa compared with the total member

Needless to say, the Legion men of
Oregon are already rallying to the
support of their commander In an en
deavor to win this contest with one
of the strongest Legion states in the
south. Medford Post No. 15 is off
to a fine start with 185 members al
ready paid up for 1938 and every ef
fort will be made to put the post
"over the top" before the district
conference takes place here on De
cember 13, with Stat Commander
Palmateer as honor' guest. A cordial
invitation la extended to all eligible
World war veterans to Join Medford

bers are urged to pay thlr 1938 dues

AT HEALTH MEET
IMPROPERLY TOLD
The perennial argument over state
medicine flaied ana in today and this
time The Mail Tribune wa the in
nocent causo of the rumpus.
On Friday. November 19. The Mail
Tribune published a story giving
what was supposed to be the gist
of a talk by Mrs. Bertha Denton,
public health school nurse of Ash-1
land, before a meeting of the Jack
son County Health association here.
The Mall Tribune story said that
Mrs. Denton told the association that
state medicine waa the solution of
the problem faring the middle classes
who could not alford proper medi
cal attention.
Mrs. Denton explained today tnat
her talk was devoted mainly to a
resume of her studies at the Univer
sity of Washington summer school.
Incidentally she weaved Into her ad
dress a meeting of medical men in
Seattle to one of whose panel dis
cussions the nurses at the summer
school were Invited. I
Mrs. Denton said she told tne
health association that the consensus
of the panel discussion was that
something should be .done for tho
middle classes who cannot aftord
proper medical enro and it was the
panel's conclusion that state medi
cine was the solution. Mrs. Denton
emphasized today that she did not
express any of her own opinions, but
merely reported briefly on the panel
discussion.
The Mall Tribune story also said
that Mrs. Denton quoted the secre
tary of the American Medical asso
ciation as saying his organization
should stop fighting state medicine
and take the lead in bringing it to
the United States.
In a letter to The Mail Tribune
today Dr. Olln West, American Medi
cal association secretary, denied tnat
he had ever made any such state
ment and Mrs. Denton denied at
tributing any such assertion to him.
Mrs. Denton said she referred to the
secretary of the Washington state
board qf health who presided at tne
panel discussion of medical men in
Seattle. It was the concensus of the
pane), she said, that something
should be done about the question
of state medicine and she so stateo
In her health association talk.
Mrs. Denton took exception in
particular to The Mail Tribune head
OP
WORLD RANGE li-TURE A. C.
T
MMNTGUMlEIIfcY
line, which said: "State Medicine
Urged by Nurse for Middle Class."
She reiterated that she expressed no
personal views on the subject.
On the basis of the erroneous re
port on her talk, the Jackson County
Medical society adopted a resolution
criticising Mrs. Denton for express
ing her views on a controversial sub
ject. The resolution asserted that a
number of prominent organizations,
"including a large and amply en
dowed charitable foundation and the
American Medical association, witn
Its component stnte And local so
cieties, have sponsored a thorough
research by experts Into the problem
of medical care of the under-privileged,"
It Is the "consensus of opinion oi
those and other well-informed au
thorities' that any "plan partaking
of the nature of 'state medlclne"
would be contrary to the best in
terests of the general public." the
resolution said.
The Mall Tribune regrets the mis
understanding and offers its apolo
gies to Mrs. Denton, the health as
sociation and the medical society.
