The District 15A lieutenant governor of Kiwanis repeated talk given before the ser vice club here in April on "Freedom, Our Individual Re sponsibility."

Kiwanians, with President Billy Blackstone presiding, conducted the meeting on tel. evlsion as they do their week ly luncheons at Rogue Valley Country club. ' Favell's talk was based around the Kiwanis Interna tional theme for 1962. Is 'As You WW He said that whether the "elusive eagle of liberty" is cherished and nourished or let to die is "as you will." "Our destiny is in our hands," Favell pointed out, declaring that he saw "a brooding omnipresence" in the sky and warning of the danger if individual responsi bility is replaced by dull pa civity. The issue is no different than in centuries past, accord ing to Favell. Death is death arid slavery is slavery still, he (aid. , Indifference, lethargy and cowardice can destroy a soci ety, the Kiwanis official brought out. He declared that socialism is only "housebrok en" communism and said that to deny economic liberty is to destroy freedom. . Long before a government gives people all they want it takes everything they have, Favell asserted. . The answer to socialism and communism, Favell stated, must lie in the superior per formance of individualism and freedom. He stressed that freedom cannot be inherited but must be fought for.

King-Anderson Bill Latest Effort To Ad just To Changes Editor's Note: Tha Kennedy administration is making strenuous efforts to obtain passage by Congress of the King-And--son bill for financ ing hospital and nursing horn care of the aged through so cial security. The bill at pres ent is locked in the House Ways and Means committee. ANNOUNCE STRIKE Los Angeles, (UPD - The United Aerospace Workers (UAW) and International As sociation of Mechanics (IAM) Saturday announced a strike against major aerospace com panies across the country would be called July 23 unless jiew labor contracts are sign ed by that time. Washington Controver sy over the administration bill lo finance certain medical ser vices to the aged through the social security system marks the latest phase in the coun try's effort to adjust to strik ing changes in the practice of medicine. Medical practice in the United Slates today is characterized by protective and curative procedures vast ly more effective than those used at any time in the past. Public demand for enjoyment of the benefits of this new or der is naturally unprecedent ed. Because there has also been a sweeping rise in the cost of medical ca.e, a lively search for the best ways to fi nance such care has been go ing on. Per capita expenditures for medical service have more than doubled in the past doz en years. Private expendi tures on doctor and hospital bills and on health insurance premiums totaled almost $20 billion in the fiscal year 1960. The sum spent for insurance premiums increased five times over between 1950 and 1960, reaching $5.8 billion in the latter year. Without health insurance, which amounts in effect to prepayment of medi cal expenditures, the great majortiy of Americans would be hard put to meet the heavy costs likely to be incurred when they fall ill. Partial Insurance At the latest ennnt 19ft mil lion people - three fourths of me total population - had at least Dartial insurant pnvr. age for hospital expenses. Around 124 million were cov ered also for surgical expens es; 91 million for additional medical services; 35 million for a part of the costs of pro longed illness; and 43 million for loss of income durins an illness. Regular insurance comnan. ies, the non-profit Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, and group health plans sponsored by labor unions, consumer groups, and groups of doctors furnish the bulk of this insur ance. Its growth has been stimulated not only by public demand but also by the con tinuing threat that if such in surance was not made avail able on a voluntary basis, a compulsory government scheme of health Insurance for everyone would be developed. Such a plan, to be financed through social security, was proposed during the Truman administration. Now it has been narrowed down by the Kennedy administration to a plan for coverage of hospital and nursing hoi e expenses of retired persons 'eceiving old age social security benefits. Administration support of the King-Anderson bill, which embodies this pla" has en couraged insurance companies to push new health policies for persons aged 65 and over. Earlier this year, moreover. Phillips Associates With Law Firm Here Theodore W. Phillips, Yo- semite, Calif., is now associat ed with Robert R. Dickey, Medford lawyer, in his office at 129 North Oakdale ave., Medford. Phillips received a degree in journalism from the Uni versity of California, and is a 1961 graduate of Yale Law school. He also served in the Army, being discharged as a first lieutenant in the para troops. For the past year Phillips has been employed as a law clerk in the offices of U. S. District Judge Gus J.

Whether these plans can fill the bill adequately is not yet clear. Despite the wide cover age and the great investment in health insurance for the population in general, there has been dissatisfaction over its failure to meet the full costs of medical services. If those costs continue to rise as fast as they have been doing in recent years, further gov ernment assistance in solving the health care financing problem may be demanded. Advances and changes In medical practice have been partly responsible for the ris ing costs. The changes have not been all to the public's liking. Virtual disappearance of the family doctor; the com mon practice today of having the patient go to the doctor instead of the doctor to the patient; the shortening of time spent with the doctor himself and the lengthening of time spent with technicians; the frequent need to consult a specialist; and the occasional need to enter a hospital for long and expensive tests things like this have given rise to complaints that doc tt 's have lost the human touch or that 'hey are more interested in the patient's dol lars than his ail. lents. Such complaints are under standable but usually unjust. Doctors prefer, except in cas es of grave illness, to see pa tients in the office rather than the home because ". is In their offices that they have the equipment and the assistance to make tests now deemed ne cessary for diagnosis and treatment. And in "nany cases it is only the hospitals that have the equipment needed for unusually exhaustive tests. As for specialists, it is the great growth of medical knowledge that has made for increasing specialization in the profession. Changes of this kind and of other kinds may have made medical care far more expen sive than it used to be, but it is the same changes - along with the discovery of wonder drugs - that have made medi cal care far more effective. Now the great concern is to make certain that everyone can have the benefits of mo dern medicine when the need arises.
