The usual 10-year grind,” he said. "Four years of college, four more at medical school, a year as intern, and a year in residency train ing.” "What made you go into research?" EDITORIAL NATIONAL I ASSOCP a TÍÓN 1 y *-r When Is It Right To Kill? Recently a certain physician was charged with murder and publicity swept the nation over a question that 1« not new — the advisability of "mercy killing«”. This editor lias given the question not only on this occasion but at previous times, considerable thought and meditation. One must admit that those who carry the banner in favor of such killings do have some points. Many persons, after having watched some one they loved in Incur able imin, have prayed that the afflicted one might not have long to live, and death's coming brought a type of sweet repose. But, be that as It may, the mortal man with wisdom great enough to decide whether innocent people should live or die has yet to come Into existence. It has been my privilege to know over the years many fine and respect able doctors. Their character has been without question and I have con sidered their friendship of intrinsic value. As a matter of fact, with many of these men I would entrust my life. However, there must be a line of de- markation and this would be It. Entrusting of life Is one thing, but any thing, thought, or princijial that would destroy such a sacred trust should not Itself lie allowed to live. The law of gravity is at times very severe and there would seem times when it might be convenient to break. However by this time most folk realize that It cannot be broken without the costly consequences. God's laws also at times would seem convenient to break but with parallelism to gravity they cannot be broken. While the problem of where to begin an appeasement with the mercy killers would I m * tri-niendous, the question that would dwarf It into oblivion would be, where would it end. I am reminded of the wise parent who In reprimanding a disobedient child gave this sage bit of advise. "There are certain things in life we cannot have”. Certainly there is a truth for us. Then- are certain factors which cross the horizon of our life that cannot be ours. The taking of a humau life must full Into that category. LYONS Editors Letter Box There are times when community problems, personal complaints, con. structive suggestions and such be come very much like the weather. Everyone talks about it and nothing is done about It. Sometimes If we talk to the right person something is done about it. May the editor make this sugges tion ? If you are one of those per sons that has such a suggestion why not write to this paper and let us publish ft. We would of course, like to know your name, if you should choose to write. Names will be with held if the writer wishes. By EVA BRESSLER Old man winter took another bang at the Lyons area, with the telephone company suffering the hardest blow, tearing down the lines which had just been rebuilt from the previous storm. Six inches of snow was dumped onto the already 15, knock ing out the power lines leaving the town without electricity most of the day, and again marooning the peo ple on McCully mountain who had Just dug out of a ten day hiberna- tlon, closing the school for the rest of the week and both saw mills are closed down, but there are two busy companies, the gas heat men and the fuel man, who were going in high then the temperature plunged to 6, below at the Mt.

"I couldn't get used to sitting by while a patient died simply because I didn’t know any thing else I could do for him. Every time I looked up into the eye* of relatives gathered around the bed of a man in the last stages of cancer, I told myself that Billy Rose my job wasn’t to go on using the hit-or-miss tech niques but to get into a laboratory and help find the real cure. »» “How did you go about getting started?" “I made the usual applications.” said the M D.. "but I soon found the hospitals and universities had no funds to hlri research men, and that 1 couldn’t get a Job unless a foundation paid my salary. To complicate things, most foundations won’t give you a fellowship unless you first have a job. In addition, it’s almost impossible to get a grant until you've published a cer tain number of scientific papers and. of course, you can't publish such papers until you've worked in a laboratory and had a chance to do research worth writing about “It finally boiled down to this— 1 could work for nothing in a can cer laboratory, or I could take a job paying $120 a week doing research for a cosmetic outfit. WeU, I had just gotten married and was ready to settle for the money, but my wife wouldn’t hear of it—she went out and got an office job and made me stick to my test tubes." • • • "HOW LONG did you work for free?" "About a year." said the doctor, "and then the head of the medical center—a very decent guy—squeezed me onto the payroll at $28 87 a week ” "You could have earned more washing dishes.” "We managed Io gel by." laid the medico, "hut the following year my wife had a baby and had to quit her job.

With these to back me up, 1 applied for a fellowship paying $3,000 a year." "Minus withholding tax, I pre- sume.” "It may not sound like much. but I felt like John D., Jr. when the grant came through,” said the doctor. "Last year. I went through the application rigmarole again— 275 typed pages—and this time I got the full $3.600 • • • “WHAT DO YOU 1)0 to earn all that money?” I said. "I'm in charge of three cancer projects and help on half a dozen others. On the side. I run a throat clinic, work in the wards and give seminars." "Any chance of a raise?” "I’m afraid not," said the doctor, "and as far as fellowships are con cerned.

The shutdowns in logging opera tions and the lay off of sales and service personnel following Christ mas made the major contribution to this increase. Although it is ex. pected the woods industries may call back some men relatively soon no great relief can be expected until the opening of agricultural demand In March and April. New unemploy- ment insurance claims filed through this office during December totaled 1,742 showing a considerable increase over the previous month.
