we extend our apologies to the hospital, and to
those who felt the story

as the larger implications of this, or similar, situ
ations in the past and which may arise in the
future.
The citv administration, sensibly, is seeking
conferences with hospital and Camp White au
thorities to make sure that procedures are mu
tually understood, so that no suffering human
being need go without emergency care.
The chief of nonce Domts out that his officers.
despite first aid training, are not equipped to
make diagnoses, nor to care for those in need of
medical help. The suggestion has been made that
it may be well to create a
IF THIS incident serves to point up a community
need, and to lead a way toward its solution, it
will have been a worth whatever unhappiness it
caused.
As we see it:
1. The hospitals do not receive enough tax
funds to recompense them for their care of in
digent cases.
2. The ambulance service sustains a consid
erable loss one it cannot afford on some in
dicent cases.
3. If we are to avoid the costs attendant on
construction and operation of a county hospital,
a solution MUST be found for the care of in
digent patients.
4. Based on some of the letters and telephone
calls we have received,

the patient will pay it more willingly if he knows
why it is necessary.
THE hospitals have labored alone too long with
these problems.
And there is another unjust effect that is
that the costs of hospitalization charged to "pay
ing patients reflect the losses sustained by the
hosnitals from "non-waving patients."
This, in effect, makes responsible people pay
for a charity load, right at a time when they are
already burdened with their own medical and
hospital bills.

is the most wonderful priv

chance to express their views
on the subjects that most in

After reading several let
ters regarding proposed med

tribute my views. In answer
to those opposed to such ben
efits may I ask how deeply
have these folks thought out
the facts? First let me quote
a fow words of Jesus, "The

Devil's Chief Tool
To the Editor: A phone call
early Sunday brought to my
attention the fact that it is not
wise to be too hasty in judg
ing what our fellow men do.
The other day a front page
spread in the Tribune told a
sad story of a man in Medford.
Just who wrote this piece I do
not know. At any rate our
hearts went out to this man
who seemed to have such a
difficult time in obtaining
medical assistance.
I immediately took the ma
terial at hand and wrote a let
ter to this column. If I have
hurt anyone's feelings I am
sorry. There are always two
sides to a question, and in the
future I shall, to the best of
my ability, try and find out
more about a situation before
I pass judgment.
When we first learned of
this situation we were not told
that this individual was in
such a condition that he could
not be trusted to stay on a
table in the emergency room.
The reason for his being
placed on the floor was that
he was under the Influence of
alcohol. I may be taken to
task for this statement. Yet a
man who claims to know the
facts plainly told me this. In
fact he said that if anything
he had told me was not facts,
that our whole family was free
to come to his place of busl
nes for a real treat. As to all
of the other events of that
evening, I do not know. It
should be a lesson to all of us
to be more careful. I am sure
that many who read these
lines have come into contact
with similar cases.
The sad part of it all is that
many of you have by your
votes legalized a business that
is making drunken sots out of
our boys and girls. Then when
a man gets down in the gutter,
we look down on him.
Our youth and the rest of us
are constantly being educated
with the Idea Uiat alcohol be
longs with our WRy of living.
I am becoming more and
more convinced each day thnt
the great adversary of human
souls will leave no stone un
turned in his hellish scheme
to ruin men and women, boys
and girls. Alcohol is one of
the devil's chief tools and we
willingly fall into his snare.

Pay the Fiddler
To the Editor: Just a few of
the thoughts that have passed
through my mind, pertaining
to the poor fellow at Sacred
Heart Hospital who had no
funds.
I know by experience that
in order to get admittance into
either one of the Medford hos
pitals, you are required to
make a deposit; at least that
has been what I have been do
ing every time I have been
required to now for several
years, when my wife has been
ordered to the hospital by our
own doctor.
The last time my wife had
to go to the hospital for an
operation, we had to make a
deposit of $110, if I remember
right. She was in there five
nights and four days. When I
took her out, I paid $110.10
more. Besides, I paid $30 for
operation room fees, besides
doctor bills, and plenty for
drugs.
Why not? What Is all the
fuss about? Everybody has to
live and since everything is
commercialized it is either
pay or else die; or starve out
side. If anyone thinks they can
run a hospital on charity, or
anything else during these
times, they would just come
out at the little end of the
horn, that is all. Don't fool
yourself, you have to have the
green to pay the fiddler now

You'ra Welcome
To the Editor: Your recent
editorial, "Backward, Turn

pleasant surprise. It is certain

least one newspaper recog
nizes the seriousness of my
challenge of the present so
cialist status quo conformists
in both political parties, and
to the extent of having to
editorialize to such an ex
treme, at that! It is quite pos
sible that you have given this
campaign its biggest boost to

offers of support received al
ready.

of the last month have been

they are not now producing
enough revenue to pay the
costs of such government. If

to such readers who only vote

Concerts and Clothes
To the Editor: It came to
my attention recently that a
young friend of mine is ser
iously considering not return
ing to high school for her
second year. Reason she
can t afford the expensive
tastes of some of the teachers.
She sings with the chorus
and for a certain coming con
cert they are required to wear
formal dress. If they don't
show up for the performance
they get a failing grade.
Where does that leave my
friend (and I'll wager many
more) when she has neither
the dress nor the wherewith
all to purchase one?
Perhaps the teacher lacks
confidence In his own ability-so-confront
an audience with
a group of pretty girls In pret
by dresses and maybe they'll
not listen closely.
A few days after this
grandiose concert they must
all take themselves to a neigh
boring town for a vocal con
test. This time dressed In

Just what is this supposed
to teach our youngsters? To
judge a canary by the gloss
if its feathers? Or maybe
judge a teacher by his suit
instead of his ability to teach?
The students should band
together, wear what they
have, and demand to be grad

well if only they'd stop and

job is to teach not tell our
youngsters what they must

Souls, Not Society
To the - Editor: Monday's
paper says on Page 12 that
the Governor's Committee on
Children and Youth believes
the Churches should cooper
ate more in the secular com
munity groups seeking to im
prove society.
While this might ba good
advice for many denomina
tions which merely use Jesus
Christ as an excuse for their
country clubs, the Body of
Christ should no more concern
itself with improving society
than it should debate the
merits of Buddhism. The
Church of Jesus Christ has one
mission; to invite all who will
to accept Christ's invitation to
escape the certain destruction
coming to society. Christ came
to save men; not to Improve
society. Heaven exists beyond
this planet; not here.

overturned, one's leash is so
tangled he can't move, one has
no shelter from sun or rain,

I think every dog should

Even so, there was no sign
that either the government or
the ruling Nationalist Party
contemplated any p o 11 c y
changes.
Said Foreign Minister Erie
Louw:
"We will not hand over con
trol of South Africa to a na
tive majority."
A tragic highlight of last
week's events was the assas
sination attempt against Pre
mier Hendrik F. Verwoerd,
architect of the apartheid
policy. No matter what the
motive, it was a clear portent
of the violence under which
South Africa must continue
to live.

American plan for self-determined
territorial limits up
to li miles.
The 18-state plan, backed

The U. S.-Canadian plan
must get a two-thirds vote in

I married one and these two
Chihuahuas adore him.
Our purps are fenced in
right by the back door where
we can visit with them.
If no fence their leashes
would have been able to slide
on a long clothes line. They
would have had strips of inner
tube to play with, a dog house
for shelter, a very heavy jar
or other water container, two
good feeds per day, some hard
bones to gnaw for the good of
their teeth, and an early
morning hike for the good, of
both the dogs and me.
I would worm them often,
bathe and flea powder them
and comb or brush them while
I told them that I wanted to
be as good friend to them as
they are to me.
You'd be surprised how
much they understand.
Next Friday, April 15, be
ing God Friday, the Fifty
Plus club will not meet, but
several of us will meet over
the phone, as usual-and later
exchange flower seeds, bulbs,
plants and best regards. They
are a wonderful group.
