DEMAND IS SEEN
FOR HEALTH UNITS
Rev. George A. Mcdonald,
S. J., Says Youth Wants
Co-operatives.

A growing demand among youth Of
the Nation for some kind Of Coop
erative organization to cut the costs
Of medical care, similar to embattled
Group Health Association here. was
seen today by the Rev. George A. Nc
Donald. s. j., eminent editor and edu-
Gator, who is addressing sessions Of the
summer school of Catholic Action at
the Washington Hotel.
Father Mcdonald bases his conclu-
sion on observations among both
young people and medical men during
his recent Nationwide travels, under
auspices of the central ONCE Of the
Sodality Of Our Lady.
Having made study Of various CO.
operative movements In all parts Of
the world during the last six years,
Father Mcdonald Is outspoken In his
championship Of "co-operattve medi-
cine." although he opposes "sociali1ed
medicine" as such.
Young people Of the Nation, he
said, are intensely interested in some
means Of reducing the cost Of medical
care. This is particularly true Of en-
gagged couples and young married cou-
piles, he added.
Can't Afford Children.
"They don't see how they can az
ford to have children" he explained.
unless they can help organize some
associations to bring down medical
costs of maternity.
The medical problem is not so much
the question Of how are the doctors
going to get more income. but how are
patients going to get more doctors.
Nevertheless. cooperative is . way
whereby the doctors actually will get
more income. Half Of the doctors,
when they have fully understood CO.
operative medicine, are for It,"
Some representatives Of the medical
profession" he continued, ARE In q
panic for fear that Government Il
going to take over the whole business
Of health care. Their panic, their anx-
iety about what the Government is
going to do is justified. in view OF all
the services the Government seems
willing to take on itself regardless of
the cost to the taxpayers.
justified in Fear.
'They are justified in fearing what
socialized medicine would do to them
Socialized medicine applied unlimitedly
and without qualifications Is q very
dangerous thing. but not so much when
Government limits its activities in this
field to preventive medicine. What the
doctors do not seem to realize is that
there is all the difference in the world
between sociali1ed medicine and CO.
operative medicine.
"Co-operative medicine is a middle
way between absolute State control
and the present scarcity of medical
care for great percentage Of the
American people"
Father Mcdonald Is scheduled to
address the summer school tomorrow
afternoon on the subject Of co-opera-
tives. Morning sessions are devoted
to religious and inspirational pro-
grams.
Tomorrow night the delegates will
take moonlight cruise on the
steamer City Of Washington under
auspices of the Sodality Union Of
Washington.
Sessions continue through Saturday.

Bethlehem Star


BY Maude C. jackson
Bright light shining from afar---
Behold. II Is the Bethlehem Star.
Besming forth with grandeur bold,
As the prophets had foretold.
Watching wise men leave their
rest,
To begin the sacred quest.
Theirs to find the newborn King,
To Him gifts and praises bring.
Shepherds In the valleys low,
See the stsr-prepsre TO 60,
Take their gifts though poor they
be,
Seek this newborn Babe to see.
Heavenly strains OF music rare
Ring out on the midnight air,
Singing praise to Him whose birth
Should bring peace and JOY on
earth.
Many years have passed since
then:
ChrIstmas-time Is here again.
Christmas carols fill the air.
Bells sweet chimes heard every
where.
Men will celebrate His birth,
Giving gifts with Joy and mlrth.

know
Greater peace and lesser woe!
But our world seems full OF sin,
Prejudice. avarlce. and gain.

Have submerged their pesce In

Lead them to that nobler birth
