Sometimes lives close to his home town that it is not possible for him to get true pers- pective on its conditions or well-defined picture of the community Often, others at proper dis tance can see it clearly than the residents themselves
 Possibly this is true to some extent of our owr people. We unemployed in midst and we meet the calls of funds to aid those in need may be inclined to think lot is not wha it ought to be. To others less fortunately situated we pointed to worthy of emulation Th seems to have been in the mind of the Seward Gateway, as indicated by recent editorial appear ing in it, under the caption: Why and How" al follows
 Juneau may boast, with degree of accuracy, of being the best town city in United States possessions.
 The cause of this happy condition is not difficult of analysis. Juneau has relied upon it's natural resources rather than upon false stimulants to wait it forward.
 Standing a monument to foresight and genius, is the Alaska Juneau gold mine, which ranks the top of great gold mines of the American continent, and bids fair to duplicate the record of the famous Treadwel This mine made not dis covered. True it required a large sum of money to accomplish this, but the expendi- ture has been justified a thousandfold. Its payroll is something of which Juneau is justly proud.
 And while others might have kept their eyes riveted upon Washington source of progress and revenue, Juneau has cast about her. and brought into fruiton indus tries which gave big and permanent pay rolls. In these her own citizens have played a large part, utilizing their surplus to stmu- late industries and thereby inviting outside capital to in.
 Some day the remainder of Alaska will take tip from Juneau and follow it's lead. From that date onward there will be other communities emerging to join Juneau in her boast.

FAMILY DOCTOR
AS INSTITUTION
CONE FOREVER
Public Demands Changing
Medical Standards,
Says Physician.
BY DAVID DIETZ
ScrippS- Howard Science Editor

America today requires new type
OF medical organization with a
'new-time family doctor"
This is the opinion of DR.. Willard
c. Stoner, director of the medical
division of St Luke'S hospital in
Cleveland. DR.. Stoner discussed his
views this week in the annual meet
ing of the American Protestant Hos
pital Association in Milwaukee.
DR.. Stoner just has returned to
this country after a summer spent
in studying the social trends Of
medicine in Europe.
My visit to Great Britain, France
and Germany has forcibly impressed
me with the economic illnesses of
those countries, and has demon
strated the development of socialiZa-
ton of medicine abroad to meet the
needs of adequate medical care" he
says.
Britisher Philosophical
when I discussed the economic
and social problems with the
Britisher, I found that he had q
very philosophical attitude. He said,
We have carried our specialization
to a place where we are better pre-
pared than you to meet the stress
of the worldwide depression and
I found the same general attitude
in France and Germany.
Organized medicine over a period
of years has discussed the failure Of
adequate provision being made for
the professional care Of the middle
class patient.
The recent survey to gather sta
tisticS on the cost of medical care
in a very comprehensive report has
emphasized the need of adequate
medical care for the stratum OF So
ciety above the charity zone"
Old Days Are Gone
DR.. Stoner is not in sympathy
with those who believe that the sit
uation can be remedied by striving
for a return of the old-time fam
lily doctor.

ciate the noble service rendered by

day." DR.. Stoner says.
MY belief is that had we, coupled
with our scientific medicine Of to-
day, his fine spirit of service, and
could we be freed from some of the
commercialism and greed of today,
the public would have a much better
state of mind about medical prac-
tice in general.
However, 1 prophecy that the day
of the old-time family doctor is for
ever gone.
But there is need for 'new-time
family DOCTOR one who has hospital
responsibility, and elbows with his
colleagues, on a well-functioning
hospital staff"
DR.. Stoner points out that the
advance of scientific medicine has
been such that the individual physi-
clan can no longer afford to main
tain an Office equipped with all the
devices Of diagnoss and treatment
which are needed in the present.

The theatrical company of which
Mr.. Laycock was member played
in a command performance for the
ex-Kaiser Wilhelm, at an open air
carnival near Berlin.
At this time, each member Of the
troupe was presented with a medal
by the kaiser, on which appeared
the likeness Of the crown prince. Mr.
Laycock still has the medal.

that I received my first wounds" he
says. Il passed through engage

without a scratch, but received a
serious shot in the hand, when bull

them striking me a glancing blow

Worked at Mission
Returning to Indianapolis, Mr..
Laycock became interested in the
Wheeler City Rescue Mission and
worked with the mission for four
years.
The ministry always had in
tereSted him, and he found genuine
enjoyment in his work at the mis-
sion. After four years service, he
was ordained as a minister.
Chaplain Laycock finds a great
Joy in his work at the Methodist
hospital, where it is his duty to
visit patients, and cheer them dur
ing their illness. He feels that his
varied experiences both in the army
and as an actor traveller helped him
in this work.

Following his recovery from these
illnesses, he re-enlisted and served
in the Philippines.
L saw a village near our en-
campment which had been attacked
by brigands, who butchered almost
the entire population" he says. Il

upon them and decapitated them
with the long, dangerous knives they
carried.
Il was put on sentry duty on the
right of way near our encamp-
ment," Mr.. Laycock recalls.
Just Cocoanut Falling
suddenly I heard a swishing
noise and thought it was the knife
of a native who had crept upon me.
Instead. it was a cocoanut dropping
from a tree under which I was
seated. It was several days before
I lost my feeling of horror and saw
the humor of the occurrence.
After returning to the United
States, Mr.. Laycock went on tour
with a speciality act, which was en-
acted in practically all of the larg-
er European cities, and played for
three consecutive months in the
London Hippodrome.
The act was a drill extravaganza,
