Let life grow over the scar. Only few
months ago this great America, of which
we are all SO proud, was seriously i'll.
Many of us wondered if she would ever
recover. To think of her condition is
a torturing memory. Her millions were
unemployed, her financial structures
were on the verge Of chaos, her people
were in dire distress. Could this be
America, our homeland America, the
greatest nation in all the world? Yes,
that was our America!
But now there is light shining America is
getting well-distress and suffering are disap>
pearing. All of which makes one think of
the spike that was driven into the heart of
tree years ago. 1t was almost mortal blow,
for it made vicious scar. But the tree lived on.
1t could not remove the spike, nor could it
erase the scar, SO it carried them in its heart
for all Of its days. But it grew in spite of the
spike..it grew around and finally over the scar.
1t became giant and fulfilled it's mission
gloriously. That's life's way with trees. 1t is
also ife's way with humans if they will let
life have her way.
America will build on, in spite of the wound...
America will let life grow over the scar, if you
will do your part in Americas recovery plan.

COUNTRY DOCTORS
LAST STAND

Within ten years farmers every
where in America, except those who
live near large town or city, Will
be almost completely deprived Of
medical service, according to sur
vey just completed for Thomas E.
Cathcart, editor of The Country
Home. The country doctor is max
ing his last stand, and unless some
thing is done about it, he will soon
be as much a relic of the past as
the mastodon. Here is the proof:
The average age of country doc
tors in 1926 was So years. Today
it is higher. The total life span OF
the average American physician is
81 years. With the majority of
country doctors well past the half
century mark six years ago, 1t ap-
pears that four years more will see
virtually the last of them.
If younger men were replacing
them there would be no cause for
alarm. But every year fewer and
fewer medical graduates go into
rural practice. In the past ten years,
only one graduate in hundred set
tied in a community of less than
1000 inhabitants.
Right now there are scores of
communities, hundreds of square
miles in area, and with populations
that run into thousands, which do
not have a single resident physician,
and year by year the number in
creases.
One reason for the situation is the
heavy cost of medical education. To-
day medicine has become a profess
sion for rich mems sons. That cuts
the farmer of at both ends. lie
can't afford to give his own son a
medical education; and as for rich
mems sons, none of them are tempt
ed by the hardships and difficulties
of rural practice. The average cost
of medical education at present Is
$4,000, and the time required ia
nine years.
"The country doctors lot is not a
tempting one," Editor Cathcart ad-
mits. 1.-The grocer and the butcher
! and the coal dealer can cancel
customers credit il they don't get
their money, but the doctor is help
less. When a call comes he must go.
He may know that the patient will
never pay him. No matter! Winter
and summer, day or night, If he is
able to move, he must never fail TO
answer a summons. He may De
old and worn out and half sick him
self. But whatever the circum-
stances, he must never shirk or seek
an excuse"
MIR. Cathcart suspects that conn-
try people might do n good deal
themselves TO make the country
doctors life more attractive. For
one thing, they should take more
sympathetic attitude toward their
doctors money problems. After all,
doctor has got to get along, just
like anybody else. lie doesn't ask
his debtors to give him first consid-
Grafton. All he wants is fair play.
, If he doesn't get that, you can hard
ly blame him for going somewhere
else"
