SERGT. MILLER FINDS
FOOD FOR PARK VIEW
Turkeys, Ducks and Pork to Be
Sold Through Community
Market.

Sergt. o. B. Miller, formerly of the
Motor Transport Corps, has been Sc
lected as the postal and marketing
agent for the Park View Citizens
Association and Community Center.
According to an announcement made
by this association, foodstuffs will be
received at this community center
regularly instead of the spasmodic
appearances heretofore in effort to re-
duce the high cost of living. These
provisions are stored and may be
bought at the Park View School
Sergt. Miller has recently secuted
around the country in pursuit of fowls
Tor Thanksgiving. He reports that
his quest has met with much success.
He visited neighboring towns and
hamlets through northern Virginia
and states that he discovered a farmer
who has promised to send large
shipmet of turkeys to the Park View
CENTER This shipment is due to
arrive tomorrow and should be ready
for sale the following day. Though
the center caters mainly to community
residents, it is glad to welcome all
corners and assures them that on ac-
count Of eliminating the profits of the
middle man the prices will be much
lower.
Sergt. Miller also secuted around
Pennsylvania, where he arranged to
have sent here weekly shipments of
pork. Then not to miss anything that
might be around home, he visited the
Soldiers Home, adjacent to the center,
and found that the association could
secure sixty fancy dressed fat ducks, a
part of the hundreds that swarm the
pools and lakes there.
An important feature that has been
introduced into the center is the acauisi-
ton of a fine large safe, a protection
against future raids of robbers like
those that broke into the center some
months ago.

British Seek
Medical Union
With America
Sir St. Clair Thomson Tells
of Advantages To Be
Gained by Exchange of
Ideas by Physicians

A large American hospital with pri-
vate and public wards is shortly to be
opened in London. Lord Reading has
accepted the Craftsmanship of the
foundation committee. The visiting
staff will be English and the resident
staff will be made up Of young Amer
lean doctors desrous of experience
abroad.
This is the message brought to the
United States by Sir St. Clair Thorn
son, professor of laryngology at Kings
College Hospital. London He is a
world famous throat specialist and is
visiting America as the representative
of the British Medical Association He
will attend medical conferences here
and in Atlantic City.
At the Lotus Club yesterday Sir St
Clair indicated that one of the motives
which brought him to this country was
to encourage the freer exchange of
medical studies between North America
and Britain.
One of the connecting links is the
Fellowship of Medicine, founded last
Christmas, designed to bring together
members of the medical profession in
all the Allied countries and English
speaking people in particular. Be
hind the Fellowship stand Sir William
Osler, late of Johns Hopkins; Sir
Arbuthnot Lane and Sir John Good
win, director general of the Army
Medical Services.
1--WE have equipped an office in the
building of the Royal Society of Medi-
iPh ho
of medical Cooks Agency" he said.
1--WE realized when the armstice was
signed that hundreds of American
doctors would be passing through Lon
don on their way home. SO we organ
lied as quickly as possible and made
arrangements for special courses
tours Of hospitals, demonstrations,
visits to places Of historical medical
interest and social entertainment. No
matter whether it is lunacy or baby
welfare, surgery or skin diseases, the
disposal of sewage or the arrange
ment of school clinics that the doctor
from abroad wants to know about. he
can take lectures or courses from men
we'll versed in these subjects"
Sir St. Clair said he was here to
find out what is expected of London as
medical centre and to tell Canadians
and Americans of the advantages for
medical study to be had in London and
other European capitals. The Fellow
ship of Medicine also aims to make
the British less insular by encouraging
them to stNdy at such universities as
McGill, of Montreal Johns Hopkins,
New York, and other American schools.
