LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Editor Of The Post:

Editor Of The Post
think it in due both To the
Hospital nj Abingdon and To
the public To announce that, ON
September LIST next, tho doctors
of the present staff expect TO
join the medical Reserve Corps
of the Army; and ut the same
time tn express the motive that
impcls rs to this action. Were
we acting as individuals only
such statement would be out of
place and uncnllcd for. But, in
as much us the George Ben
Johnston Memorial Hospital is
II public institution. tho public
has II right to an explanation
ull The more SO ms ut least ,wo
false reasons for the action
have become current.
The doctors have not bccn
drafted into the army and +,
therefore, this IL not the reason
for going into it, The medical
profession has undertaken, on
the other hand, to provide the
Army with doctors, without the
necessity of a draft.
Nor are we withdrawing be-
cause we fear that the Hospital
Twill fail financially" The
fact is that the Hospital was
never more successful than in
The past year, both in the num-
Der OF patients admitted, the
average attendance per day,
and in all that goes To make up
volume of work. We are con
tident that We could look for IA
constantly growing patronage,
also, for the future.
The sole i,npelling motive for
temporarily laying down the
work here is the conviction that
duty calls us into the country =
service. The demands upon
the medical profession for ser.
vice with the troops ara becom
ing SO enormous that we cannot
rcsist longer the appeal 10 enter
tue service. The opportunity
cannot be passed by us, with
honor aud ease of conscience
preserved We have, therefore,
yielded TO the appeal
or course, whether or not the
Board OF Trustees will find il
necesAary to close the Hospital

Who is the Stacker?

before his fellow men in his
true color-yellow. He is the
man upon whom his country
has conferred benefits, but
whose craven soul refuses to
accord service when in turn his
country needs his services.
We have-and it 10 right that
it should be so--vcry little sym
pathy to waste on the military
Stacker. Bat mt the same time
we wish to insist that he is by
no means the only Stacker.
We. ourselves, pride our
selves on our complete loyalty,
never realizing in our blindness
that in many ways we are as
great slackcrs IA any.
Our government has outlined
many ways in which it expects
the cooperation of the people.
1t expects every individual to
contribute his or her help in all
these lines. Ii this help il not
forthcoming, the drlinquunts
are as truly slnckers as is the
man who seeks to cvadc tho
draft; Let liz see what some Of
this service consists of.
First, conservation Of time,
labor and materials. What of
the manor woman, either
who willfully squnndcrs time
and misnpplics labor? When
the united cxcltious OF al are
needed, can even one sulk and
hang back, and the effect not
be felt on the mnss: Then mnl-
tiply that one by hundreds, and
by thousands, and how long
before the objective is lost from
inactivity;
Then there is the matter Of
needless expenditures. War
necessities have already prac
tically eliminated many OF the
luxuries of life, and will yet
eliminate many more. But
many still exist and are still in
dnlgcd in, frequently to the
great hurt OF our cause. The
purchase and use of Injuries in.
wolves not only II misuse of our
means. but it also involves n
misuse of time, labor and ma.
teriul in the production of the
article of luxury. And again
are we forced to the conclusion
that the mdulgor in needless
luxury Is as surely II alacScr ns
is he who lodges the draft.
Last winter we experienced a
serious fuel shortage why
simply from lack Of trains to
move coal from the mines to
the consumer, The govern.
mcnt is constantly seeking to
impress upon us the fact that il
needs every engine and every
ear obtainnhle, having use for
all. Every person who travels
on train takes from The GOV
eminent just that much engine
energy and carrying capacity.
True, the business Of life must
go on, but what Of the pleasure
travel-the JOY ride: The rail.
roade do not need his money
and the government does, and
also the transporting power
that he uHurps for his selfish
pleasure And again wc are
forced To the conclusion that
the aimiess Joy rider is ms truly
a Stacker as he who would dodge
the draft.
But why continnn the list
There are thousand ways in
which we can, and frequently
do, squandcr and misapply tho
materials and energy of which
our beloved country is just now
80 urgently in need. What is

TWO VISIONS.

| When the men had gone Edith Fer.
rol and Fay Summers sat looking at
each other The eyes of the older
! woman said, THANK God for my
| brothers SUGGEST" Those of the girl
| expressed plainly the thought, aha!
| Things are coming my way after all!'
Edith's mind was not attuned to
financial discussion in big terms. The
limit of her imaginings for many years
| of married life had been the posses
sion of a regular allowance-twenty
| dollars; ten even; anything, so long
as 1t was regular, and she didn
| have to ask for it, and it was hers to
| do with it as she willed. The saving
of a dime on her weekly meat bill
/, meant successful finance. The loss OF
| dollar when a basket of apples turn
ed out badly, was tragedy. The very
| unfamiliarity of the sums discussed by
| Ned and the promoter. Larney, bred
| a little distrust in Edith's mind.
| Yet her belief in her brother was
so great that nothing with his success
as a basis seemed really improbable.
Larney, she figured, was used to big
| money, and talked of it as clerks IN
the mint handle currency-without
regarding it as cash at all, merely as
| so much metal and paper!
Fay Summers regarded the whole
proceedings as the natural outcome OF
any effort made In her behalf. Ned
saw he would have to be successful
to win her, and he was waking up and
doing something about it, that was
all! The man she married had to
have money. She was an expensive
GIRL and was proud of 1t.
| 'If that man really makes 100000
with Ned's invention in two months
began Fay, I'VE can easily buy the
house on the hill-that lovely two
story one with the pergola and the
garage and the place for the swim
ming pool. and have a really decent
car! l do hope Ned will be able to
draw some of his fifty thousand right
away. He will. won't he, Mrs. Ferrol?'
Fay had difficulty calling Neds sis
ter anything but Mrs. Ferrol." 1t
was her one diffidence. Somehow
Ediths manner held the girl at a dis
| lance. This manner was colder than
usual as she listened to Fay's charac-
teristic question, her eyes significantly
upon her bare engagement finger.
| II don't know, Fay" replied Edith
quietly. But l think that house is
too expensive and too large for you.
1t would cost great deal to keep up.
You couldn't save"
ooh, you are so old fashioned" ex-
claimed Fay with a patronizing litter.
Nobody pretends to make ends meet
nowadays. not to speak of saving any
thing! you might as we'll be dead as
have tin-Lizzie in a portable garage.
And I'd be ashamed to have the neigh
bors see cotton underwear hanging on
my clotheslines! If Ned gets $4,000
out Of his invention, I'm going to have
/ that house and give dinner party
