More Women Are
Entering Medicine
I recently read that in the
academic year of 1955 to 1956
there were 1573 women study
ing medicine
in our 76 ap
proved 4-year
medical schools
in the United
States. This
represents an
increase in
numbers of 2.3
per cent. As I
read this note,
wished

it
could be read by all of those
implacable enemies of medicine
who fight us under the guise
of animal lovers, and who would
close all of our wonder-working
laboratories in order to free a
few dogs. They keep talking al
ways as if our laboratories were
manned by cruel and brutish
men who torture animals to
death just for the fun of it.
Curiously, millions of people are
taken in by this sort of propa
ganda. Actually, millions of people
during the next half century,
if a visitor happens to go
through a research laboratory,
he will find some of the work
being done by some of these
fine, devoted 1573 women physi
cians. The visitor will find most
of the work being done by pleas
ant young women many of
them college graduates. If the
visitor has spent his life read
ing the usual literature of the
anti-vivisectionists on dogs in
laboratories he will be astound
ed to find most of the work
being done on "mice and white
rats. There may not be a dog
or a cat in the whole laboratory.
When so very many o us are
going to be attacked any day
by cancer and will then greatly
need help. I marvel that millions
of people are always ready to
join with the anti-vivisectionists
in their desire to. close up for
ever those great laboratories
throughout this country in which
men and women are now hot
on the trail of a cure for can
cerous growths. I marvel that
people will gladly vote to de
prive themselves and their chil
dren of great gifts like the Salk
vaccine for polio.
The Writing of a Medical Book
fpu,- non-scientists have any
idea of the enormous amount of
study, time and effort that go
intn' tVit writine of a medical
textbook. I recently read about
the new edition of the 'Com
r.ipat Pediatrician" bv Dr. Wil
burt C. Davison. Dean of the
croat nuke Medical School, in
Durham. N.C. He says that "this
edition was compiled m other
wise idle minutes on trains,
steamers, and planes, in bars on
trains, steamers and at airports,
anrl at lectures, concerts, and
medical committee meetings:"'
What interests me much is that
hv keeDinsr a record of the time
he spent. Dr. Davidson found
that, in a period of 9 months,
the book's 257 pages required
1.93Q, hours for compiling and
writing. This was in addition to
a half hour every day for the
Drevious eisht years a half
hour spent in reading and ab
stracting the 6.437 references
used to make the book up-to-

date. Finally, Dr. Davison and
his wife and secretaries and
medical associates spent 996
hours on reading proof so as
to eliminate errors.
This story interests me so
much because my books have
been written in just this way,
in scraps of time snatched here
and there. My latest book repre
sents some eight years of hard
labor, during which time I
studied in detail the long rec
ords I had made of the nervous
and mental illnesses I had found
and studied in over 1,000 fam
ilies. Another book of mine was
written only after I had read
and abstracted all of the litera
ture I could find in several
languages, on the motor func
tions of the digestive tract. In
writing this book I used some
2,300 of these references. Every
statement I made was backed up
by some research, done either in
my laboratory or in the labora
tory of someone else.
Not Good Pay
Why do some of us physicians
go to all this labor? Certainly
not for money, because writing
medical books does not pay well.
No; it is done in order to dis
seminate information to those
doctors who are so swamped day
and night with patients that they
cannot do much reading.
I have in mind a picture of my
father a very busy physician
who worked long hours seven
days a week, and never got
home before ten. Then he would
get into bed with his medical
journals about him and would

The Armour Research Founda
tion said that two experimental
sound systems one of them air
borne have been developed for
the Federal Civil Defense Ad
ministration.
The DuKane Corporation of
St. Charles, 111., designed the
systems and scientists at the re
search foundation studied them
for intelligibility under various
operating conditions.
The airborne system is de
signed to provide voice communi
cation from air to ground in
order to control outdoor traffic
and pedestrians during air
alerts and after attacks, accord
ing to Dr. Robert W. Benson
of the foundation.
The systems uses a Cessna 170
airplane, magnetic tape recorder,
three 100-watt amplifiers, three
100-watt horn loudspeakers and
a gasoline-driven motor gen
erator. The other system tested was
a fixed installation atop a build
ing. It consisted of 32 100-watt
loudspeakers installed on the
roof of the 10-story Hotel Gary
at Gary, Ind.
Benson said the rooftop sys
tem was designed to provide in
telligible direction to the gen
eral population within a one-square-mile
area.
"Results of the investigation
show that both systems have
more than adequate power and
intelligibility for their intended
functions," Benson said, "pro
vided that relatively quiet con
ditions prevail."

ject imaginable.
Sound dull? Not so. In the
pilot film Alexander (who plays
detective Frank Smith to Webb s
Joe Friday on 'Dragnet') talks
to bums, students, bookies, sci
entists and just plain folks.
Television spokesmen say it's
the first new type of entertain
ment to hit video since Betty
Furness' wrestling match with a
refrigerator.
Only One Pro
"Ben will be the only pro
fessional actor on the show,"
Webb explained. "All the others
will be unrehearsed persons
saying anything that comes to
their minds.
"We won't ask topical ques
tions or drum up arguments.
"It's not an Ed Murrow type
program, and we're not trying
to compete with news inter
views. The show is difficult to
describe because nothing like it
has fiver been attempted. "
"The secret of the show is in
cutting and editing the film.
That will eliminate repetitious
material and self-conscious fumb
ling around."
Some segments of "people"
will devote a few minutes to
asking individuals the same
questions, such as "What does a
piano sound like?" The variety
of answers is endless, and most
are funny.
On other occasions Alexander
just ups and asks a person what
he'd like to sound off about.
"Every living soul has some

favorite topic to talk about,"
Webb says, "and they pitch
right in.
"The show is a natural out
growth of 'Dragnet.' We use the
closeup technique on interest
ing faces. Who - knows, maybe
we'll find potential actors to
use for 'Dragnet'."
The fast - paced show never
spends enough time with any
one person to bore viewers. Al
exander roams from the seamy
side of life to the estates in Bev
erly Hills.
"It's an inexpensive show,"
Webb concluded. "Once we get
a sponsor we can be on the air
within 30 days. We know we
have an offbeat idea, but we're
also confident that it will be a
big favorite when it goes on the
air."

SPECIAL PRICE!
$396.00 For The Pair
O
Appliance dealers can sometimes make good buys
from their factories at the end of a model year. A few
days ago our distributor phoned to tell us that the
General Electric factory had just notified him that
they had a few thousand 1957 colored washers and
dryers available a very low close-out prices.
We bought 26 pairs of these washers and dryers for our four stores. The price was
so good that we wanted more, but this was our share.
These washers and dryers will arrive in a few days and we will have 16 pairs for sale
in our Medford and Ashland stores. We will have five green pairs, nine pink pairs,
and two yellow pairs.
The washer is the medium-priced General Electric Filter-Flo model, and the drver
is our matching Air-Flo model.
The washer and dryer were priced at $499.90. We will offer these special-purchase
colored pairs at only $396. This is saying of $103.90, or about 20 off from
our 1957 prices. i
It is our policy to make good buys like this for our customers every chance we can.
We will take orders on these washer and dryer pairs now, for del i very when they
arrive, on a first-come, first-serve basis.
We also have some white washers and dryers in stock that we bought earlier. We
have the clearance price at $439.90 on our white pairs. Although this is a saving
of $60.00 from the 1957 prices, it is not nearly as good a deal as the $396 price
on the colored pairs that are coming.
