Today, I’d like to tell you about a talk I had with a doctor
who is doing research work at one of the New York cancer clinics
He made me promise not to use his name because he was afraid
he might be blacklisted by the foundation which pays his salary
I began by asking him to sketch in his pre-research career.
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?"

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.

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.

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

then the temperature plunged to 6,

low mark throughout the day.

"Like a lot of young doctors," he
said. "I couldn't get used to sitting

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

UNEMPLOYMENT SPIRALS
Unemployment In the State of Ore
gon has shown a continued increase
with a present estimated total of
5700 people out of work, the State
Unemployment commission reported
this week.
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.
