JKtCON PACE TWENTY-TWO Installment Paid Grateful Friend and Patient Writes Letter to His Doctor By FBANK TRIPP Dear Doctor: I runny asked mi, -Have you writ ten Doctor Booth yet?" Sheepishly, I admitted. "No, I haven't." "You should be ashamed of your self," she said, -after all he's don for us. Now here's his address and you write him today. Take some time to write your friends Instead of all the time writing that craay tuff you put In the paper." You know how she Is, doctor, straight from the shoulder, like you. Oreat gal! They tell me you're coming fine. I knew you would with everybody pulling for you use tney are ana the good ones praying those Who've kept their contact on huh. Times like you are going through make people think back. They make us more deeply appreciate our friends and those who have been cur benefactors. Examined Dad I remember the time the railroad sent my wonderful old dad to you to be examined. The record said ha was near the age limit for a locomotive engineer but he could throw my ISO pounds across the room, no foolin'. You hsd some kind of a racket with the Lehigh that let you ride all over on a pass. I guess they also paid you for It. I was a struggling reporter then. Pop went in your office, down where now there's a gas station or something. You said to him. "Come on, take off your coat and shirt." It took a guy like you to boss my dad around even that much. "When asked him. "Long time ago." aald pop, threw out his three score and ten chest and continued, "by old Doc Brown, the one with the whiskers. He gave me six months to live." "Brown has been dead 10 years," you said. "Yep, and I'm still her aald pop. "And youre going to be for a damned long time, you said. And be was for snot'-er 15 years. Pop came home and told mom. That young Doc Booth is going to get somewhere. Get Somewhere You did get somewhere. Got where, to consult you. folks had to to where you were. I went there one day lots later. Though still a young man. I was sure I was not long for this world, from a heart that was thrwgh. I You gave me the works. Looking! at me, with such disgust as only you can accumulate, you asked me. I "Where do you think your heart is?' I put my hand near my low er left nb. You hauled off and poked me a smart wallop Just be low the collar bone. It was no love tap. Your heart's up there." you said "and you've got the heart of an ox. Oet a bottle of rhubarb and soda and quit trying to eat out the town " "How much do I owe you?" I1 asked and you said: "Nothing. It dont want It on record that I ever I prolonged the life of a newspaper-1 man." I got the rhubarb and soda and ; my gas pains stopped. You could! have shook me down good then. II was scared. Life Saved I Then, doctor, there were two, other times. And for those I have always loved you as much as one he-man could love another. Twice you saved the life of my pal the' girl who's been my sweetheart , from childhood. You've taken soj many folks apart and put them! back together that maybe you'll: not remember but oh. how I da One of the times, the worse one. ! I sat outside the operating room. You let me be closer than usual, i with the door open. I understood J why and It didnt help. I sat out there and prayed: "Oh God. help Doc Booth and Abe Lande. Please. God do not for my sake, God. I , can take It but for hers and for! my babies." I made this prayer a: hundred times. You had told me how tough the' Job would be. That hour was ages long to me. The ominous silence Just now and then your voice, softer now. -Right there. Lande." Then a whisper from Abe, -Bad. doctor, bad." Then you, a bit tougher, "Shut up, Lande." More long dreadful silence Just the rustle of the nurses' gowns, just the nauseating odor of the anaes thetic: just, now and then, a direc tion from you just an awful space of time for me, yet the nearest I've oeen to God in all my life. , Welcome Classic And then there rang the most wel-1 come classic you've ever emitted, j Youll pardon me. doctor, but It! wouldn't be printable uncensored here. Close enough. It was: "Damn It to hell. Land, thank Ood that's done and well. New look here, the next time you assist me dont you ever" and so forth and so on you. with your arm around the younger doctor. You and Abe came out, almost to another patient. "Everything is fine." you aald. And after months it was. Doctors everywhere and great surgeons like you have, scattered in their realms. Just as grateful hearts as mine. What a pity more folks don't put their gratitude into words as I have tried to do. Feeble, humble and Inadequate as these words turn out to be. they are the only medicine with which I can pay installment on the debt I owe to you. Come home soon well. FRANK TRIPP. Herd Sire's Daughters Milk Champs Here's a true story about a Brown Swiss herd sire that's all bull. His name Is Lauretta's Barbette, J. B. 4438$. and the animal before its death was owned by Albert Meter and Son. Beaverton. H. P. Ewalt, OSC extension dairy specialist, says the most recent proving of the productive ability of this outstanding herd sire's daugh ters gives 15 daughters with an average of 13.573 pounds of milk having 578 pounds of butterfat. This is an increase of 1779 pounds of milk and 133 pounds of butter fat per cow over the production ot their dams a remarkable increase, according to Ewalt. credited directly to the good heredity of the bull. The Meier and Son Brown Swiss herd is one of the outstanding ones of the breed in the western states, and shows gains that can be ob- Turkey Price Setup Mixed The price outlook for turkeys this j fall is a mixed one. C. W. Norton. I manager of the Northwest Poultry and Dairy Products company, told some 175 turkey growers who at- tended the tenth annual meeting ot 1 the Oregon Turkey Improvement association at OSC. Despite the large turkey crop this year, Norton believes there will be a gradual price rise as the Thanks giving market approaches. He thinks the holiday market In general will bring 45 to 47 cents net to growers for hens and 35 to St cents for toms. Disturbing r triors Disturbing factors, however, are the threatened large-srale strikes Ui the East and the uncertainly caused by devaluing the English pound sterling and the Canadian dollar. This may work against high er turkey prices. Norton suggested. The association asked for con tinued government price supports for turkeys as long as other com modities are supported, and objected io me present support policy ol penalising heavy toms. The associa tion also snts Ui tlBDA to re port on number of breeder liens to be carried over by around Thanks giving, and also wants the National Turkey Federation to met In Oregon next year. W. R.
