Let Us Be Kind

Let us be kind, 'tis but a little
thing
To do for one who tries in vain
to hide
His tortured soul from view, this
earth is wide,
Yet rumors fly, on unseen,
magic wing,
And deeply harsh, and cruel,
the scars they bring.
We dare not judge each other,
lest He chide,
Lest we, on that last day should
be denied
His loving hand, where all weak
souls shall cling.
Grant that within the Golden
Book, I find,
Written in flaming letters, all
may see,
Brighter than jewels, and
crowned by love divine
"The heart of him, recorded
here, was kind,
VIII stand as written through
eternity
God grant the name recorded
thus, be mine.

Abolish This!

Can't some way be found to
stop that outlandish noise the
fire department makes in an
swering calls, especially in the
middle of the night? There may
be some excuse for the use of
the siren in daytime when traf-
fic is heavy and few people are
asleep, but between 10 and 6,
when the average workingman
must get his rest, it seems only
good common sense to dispense
with this diabolical noise. What

The Specialist Racket

WYE read with much interest article in the current
w American Magazine entitled "The Sinus
Racket" by Dr.. Martin Ross, well-known surgeon
Before going into the details of the sinus racket,
he calls it, DR.. Ross pays his respects what he calls
the specialist racket in general Most specialists he
says are fide and really have qualified themselves
to the eye nose, throat whatever part of
the human carcass they specialize in treating.
Nevertheless. it is possible for graduate MD. to
make himself a specialist by simply utering four
words: 81 am Specialist" and to kid people into
believing him. This type of
UHHOTm Stdte specialist depends mainly
7 o H.. A1.LJ his abilities a salesman and
A'0 1 personality or glamour boy.
We understand that the number of people who fall for
these specialists in the United States every year is
astonishing
The remedy advocated by Dr. Ross is set of uni
form State laws requiring special licenses after special
examinations for doctors wanting to set themselves
up as specialists also periodic denominations, to sup
plant the present custom of issuing lifetime medical
licenses.
1t sounds fair enough to us. We'd like to see some
State legislatures say about 48 of them get busy on
the matter.
Which leads naturally enough into another medical
topic now being hotly debated; namely

SOCIALIZED MEDICINE

and how far it may may not get in this country
AS work it out from talks with various qualified
medical men who, with typical and we think misguided
reteence, refuse to be quoted directly,
HOU WUCh here is where the socialized medicine
co~;cI;on,2 argument stands now:
DR.. Morris Fishbein's conservative
faction in the American Medical Association has
climbed down to some extent from the No, no, thou
sand times no. attitude it took toward proposals
to collecvize of the cost burdens of adequate
medical service to all persons the United States who
need it.
Most of the conservatives have to admit the fact
that large numbers of Americans have little medi
cal care from one years end another because they
can't pay for it because medical facilities and doctors
are spottiy distributed around the map Many of the
conservatives have to feel that the medical profess
sion had better do something toward remedying this
situation the politicians and social service workers
will.
So the argument seems now to turn mainly on the
question: How much socalized medicine can get in
this country with the loss of how little individual
ice and responsibility?
The best medical opinion appears to be that we're
moving toward modified system of sociazed medicine
along these lines CD Government to pay, out of general
revenues, for medical of

Schemes may even be worked out under which white

way in Washington, and reports encouraging results

are moving into the hospital insurance field
So there may come time when our present maldisri-
button of medical care will be roned to as great an
tent be expected in imperfect world At least
the dehard element in the A NJ A. has begun to be
sonable instead of adamant.
This A. M. A. trend had better continue, we'd say.

medical right If the doctors don't guide this de-
nand along sensible channels toward workable system

public into adopting fake cureall system which will

A nation wide study of aliens who
are seeking United States citizenship
will start here tomorrow at the court
Of common pleas. The study, by DR..
Catherine Seeker Hudson, natu-
ralization specialist Of the labor de-
partment, Washington, D. c., Is de-
signed to affect future examinations
Of aliens throughout the country
Who will seek U. C. citizenship.
Assigned Here
During the past week, J. Philmore
Warder and Charles Bent, OF the
Boston naturalization Offices, have
been assigned in Waterbury to exaf-
inc candidates for naturalization.
They said today that they had no
information regarding the coming
Of DR.. Seeker Hudson.
1t Is presumed that DR.. Seeker
Hudson will simply be an observer
at the questioning Of the candidates,
which is conducted by Mr.. Warder
and Mr.. Bent.
Waterbury has often been referred
to as a melting pot" city, mainly
because Of the variety of races re-
siding here. 1t is for this reason that
Waterbury has been selected as the
key post for the survey.
DR.. Seeker Hudson and several as
sistants will arrive here tomorrow,
and attend the examination session
which will be conducted as usual by
Mr.. Warder and Mr.. Bent.
From Waterbury the party will go
to hearings in Providence, r. l.,
and thence to several other New
England cities before leaving for
other parts of the country in pur-
suance of the survey.
Changes Expected
At the conclusion of the survey
DR.. Seeker Hudson will compile a
manuscript based on her observa-
tons at the various hearings. The
