WHAT PRICE MEDICAL ATTENTION

The plan discussed at the recent meet
ing regarding proper medical attention
Is possibly the most impractical method
OF providing good doctors for Greenbelt.
In small corrnuni ties throughout the
country, doctors who wi sh to start q
practice usually buy out old cstab-
Il shed physician on the agreement that
the latter will not practice within E.
certain territory end within specified
period Of time. 1t is also understood
that they provide their own equipment.
In these communities the Financial
condition Of the residents is far below
that Of the people Of our town and SIS G.
result the doctors ere forced to do
great deal Of charity work and yet they
are able to operate successfully.
However, regardless Of these condi-
tions we are urged to adopt policy Of
paying physician for the privilege Of
coming into virgin territory where there
is an excellent future for eny practi-
tioner. The plan not only calls for an
original payment Of ten dollars but an
additional asses sment Of three dollars
per month.
It is only natural that doctor
operating on @ steady salary wi II not
render the courteous, efficient service
Of a doctor who depends entirely on his
reputation for his income. Every time
he loses q patient or fails to render
personal interest in each individual his
reputation is shattered and he begins to
lose customers, but when he receives g
steady reliable salary he is independent
and his attenti on is rendered accordinC-
ly.
We must keep doctors responsible
to each indi vi dual not to q group. Your
life and the lives Of your chi liren ray
depend on the efficiency and ability Of
the doctors Of Greenbelt.

dollar per month for ordinary meGi cal

Il WAY TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS
Fly Robert R. Porter

(This concludes q series Of articles
by lr. Porter, on bus transportatio
for Greenbelt. His main object has
been to bring express sorvice).
Those who have helped to bring the
service Of Capital Transit are to be
commanded for their efforts.
The problem is far from being solved,
but since it is one concerning each
household in Greenbelt, then at least
one member from each household should
attend meetings Of civic organi cations
and express freely his views "pro and
con" concerning it and SINH lar current
issues. litter all, that is what these
organi cations are for.
Then why not make it point to be on
hand at the next meeting Of the Citi-
zens Association, American Legion,

gani zation and enter into the discussion
Of such issues that wi IL be subsequently,

ADDRESSES ANNAPOLIS DEMO
CRATIC CLUB

The following execpts are from
the speech of Goubernational candi-
date l.. G. Sasscer, before the West
Annapolis Democratic Club at Bay
Ridge, on May 27:
The fight between Mayor Jackson
and Mr.. O'Connor carried on in
newspapers during the past few days
again emphasizes the danger there
will be to the success of the Demo
cratic Party in November if either of
these two gentlemen are selected as
a candidate.
The people of Maryland are not
interested in the Jersey City con-
troversy nor are they interested in
the fight now going on between the
two rival Baltimore City factions ex-
cept in so far as it affects the party
success in November.
Political history has sadly demon
strated that when these bitter fights
between rival factions have taken
place in Baltimore, whether in city
or state campaign, they have carried
through into the election and the re-
suits have been disasterous.
If you are interested in having
honest government, unselfishly adj
ministered in the Interest of the
people, and assured success of our
party in November, keep away from
these entanglements and join the
order of the OK cart and aid me in
a campaign that is meeting with
marked success daily.

Jackson and Mr.. o'Connor that they

Board has practically made the town
of Still Pond bone dry by refusing
to grant applications for on-sale beer
licenses to Horace Bramble and
Oliver Jervis, following protests

application of Earl G. Thompson for

EDUCATOR GIVES WARNING

Philada., Pa, May 30.-A warn
ing against the time when the pol
itician will tell the professor not
only how to teach but what to teach
was voiced today, when DR.. Charles
F. Winshart spoke at an important
session of the 15Oth General Assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian Church con-
vening in Convention hall IN THIS
city.
DR.. Wishart, who is president OF
the College of Wooster, Wooster, o.,
spoke in behalf of Presbyterian col
leges at a meeting in the interest OF
the S1O,OO0,000 Sesquicentennlal
Fund for Christian Education.
I'm some 26 states there are laws,
of a more or less rigid character, re-
curing teachers to take an oath OF
loyalty to the Constitution, declar-
ed DR.. Wishart. Gust why teacher
should be compelled to make oath to
his patriotism, rather than the
preacher, the radio performer, the
actor, the newspaper editor or the
political stump speaker, does not
seem to have penetrated the mind OF
the average state legislator.
sit is not only the unfair singing
out of one class of men that disturbs
u.s." continued Dr. Wishart, "but the
suspicion, which will not down, that
this may be am entering wedge look
ing toward a situation when pro-
fessor's loyalty to the Constitutions
will be interpreted not in the light OF
the constitutional guarantees OF free
speech, but in the light of the par
ticular meaning which may be read
into. that document by a fascist
minded legislator"
Calling attention to Germany,
Russia and Italy where EDUCATION has
become an elaborate system OF po-
litical propaganda, DR.. Wishart de-
clared that if dictatorship ever
should come in America, there would
be no more ideal set up for it than
that the whole educational process
should be completely under the con-
troll of the political machine.
Besides the constant encroachment
of the State in the field of education,
the pressure of radical groups and
ultra-conservative groups, and the
decay of personal responsibility as re-
flected in students are, according to
DIR. Wishart, among other menaces to
free education and the cultural col
1ege today.
Reminding assembled Presbyter-
ians that their colleges would prob
ably never be wealthy institutions
enrolling thousands of variegated
and nondescript students, DIR. Wis
hart expressed the hope that they
will maintain their idealism in the
face of perplexed age. He intimat-
ed that in troubled days ahead the
Christian college may be called upon
to take a position of leadership in
the vanguard of those who work for
