MEDICAL SERVICES, GREEN DECLARES

"Preventable Illnesses and Deaths Are a Sad Commentary When
Scientific knowledge and Medical Skill and Facilities Are to Be
Had, But Are Barred to Practically 81 Per Cent of All Families
by Low Incomes" American Federation of Labor President Tells
National Health Conference.
Montana labor news., 1938-12-22

eral welfare without infringing upon
the rights of any group.
LOW INCOME GROUPS BARRED
FROM MEDICAL FACILITIES
Medical services come within the
scope of national economy and hence
must be paid for. The problem is
therefore economic. The available
facts show that the number of days
OF illness per individual decrease and
that medical services decrease de-
spite the increase in sickness.
THE medical profession is troubled
by its inability to give services freely
where needed. Preventabie illnesses
and deaths are a sad commentary
when scientific knowledge and medi-
cal skill and facilities are to be had
but are barred to practically 81 per
cent of all families by low incomes.
THE number of hospitals, their
facilities, location and medical sup
plies does not conform to human
needs. This, too, has been controlled
by ability of the community to pay,
consequently there has been cOncen-
tration in centers of wealth.
The majority of persons are not
wealthy and these have the greatest
number of ailments. Major sickness
in the low income family results in
bankruptcy and poverty. Poverty
with inadequate housing and food
leads to more sickness. The final re-
suit is dependence.
WORKERS LOSE SIX BILLION
DOLLARS ANNUALLY FROM
SICKNESS
1.-THE National Health Survey of
the U. S. Public Health Service tells
us that approximately six millions
of persons each day are unable to go
about their normal responsibilities in
living and that the financial losses
in incomes to those unable to work
because of sickness is about one bill
lion of dollars yearly. These facts
present two aspects of the serious
ness of illness.
GAS we consider and analyze this
problem of health for all ages from
the approach of industry, schools,
the medical profession and of future
citizens, we become deeply impressed
with the urgent need of making
plans and provision to assure better
health to all. This is not a problem
to be delegated to any n group, but
the best thought of all groups con-
cerned should be enlisted.
EXTEND WORK OF PUBLIC
HEALTH SERVICE
1--WE need to think through a plar
for health in national terms. Oul
life is organized within nationa
boundaries and this essential to life
should follow the same lines. We
need to plan how to make adequate
medical services available to all in
come groups.
Probably the first provision in
national health program is the exten
sion of the work and activities of tn,
Public Health Service, adding to it

the responsibility for the adequac,
of local health facilities and plan
ming for improvements. We are ac
customed to look to government t.

action.
NEEDED MORE HOSPITALS
Secondly, the hospital facilities o
every locality should be brought u
to adequate standards. These hospi
tails would then become medical cen
Montana labor news., 1938-12-22

tiers which would make possible bet
ter professional service. Experts tell
us present hospitals are inadequate
with special deficiencies in rural
areas and low-income states. Again
government should assume the main
responsibility in this field.
Provisions to eliminate such de-
ficiencies would dove-tail with our
need to find employment for APP
proximately IL millions of persons.
A program of hospital construction
or modernization should be planned
to extend over a number of years,
and could well serve as a .stabilizing
force to counterbalance fluctuations
in private construction and general
business activity. Federal grants
maid could direct and help maintain
such a hospital program.
ADEQUATE MATERNAL AND
CHILD HEALTH SERVICES
URGED
"In the third place, Labor would
like to see expansion of the program
for maternal and child welfare serv-
ices. We believe that medical serv-
ices given in the early years of life
are indispensable to the best physi-
cal and mental development of our
citizens and that economic status
should not deprive any child of
necessary aids to proper develop
ment.
"At least One-half of our families
cannot provide adequately for the
welfare of children before, during
and after child birth. The right of
every child to be accorded the high
est and best care in its first year lies
at the heart of national well-ebing
and has been accepted in principle
by our government.
COMMON PEOPLE DEPRIVED OF
ADEQUATE MEDICAL CARE
LET us turn now to those families
that r self-supporting and who
seek to live decently and independ-
emily. These families constitute
what are generally called the com
mon people. This is the great pro
ductive force of the Nation and
health is essential for them in per

ton in living.

tional program.
There can be no difference of
opinion with regard to the social de-
STABILITY of assuring adequate medi-
cal care to provide health and vigor
of mind and body for all within our
political responsibility. There are
involved in the task of providing
adequate medical care for all these

There's nothing new about the
double-three turn, if you know
how to perform the simple three
figure, you make two turns in
stead of one halfway round. The
same pattern is duplicated below.
Start out on the outside forward
edge, turn and skate on the inside
backward edge, turn again and
complete the circuit, as you
started, on the outside forward
edge of the blade.
Repeat the performance for the
lower circle, merely changing the
tracing foot. Special attention
should be paid to placing the
turns opposite each other for
symmetry.
LOOPS FUNDAMENTAL
When doing the outside forward
loop, sink well down on the skat-
ing knee as you approach the
loop, keeping the balance or free
leg well behind until half the
loop is completed. AS you start
to come out of the loop, half way
round, swing the balance leg for
ward gradually. close to the trac-
ing foot. Then straighten quickly
and complete the supper circle.
The same method is duplicated on
the other foot for the lower half
of the figure.
Ulrich Salchow of Stockholm,
one of the worlds greatest figure
skaters, who invented the difficult
Salchow jump, had this to say Of
loops: They are fundamental
figures that contribute to modern
skating variety. life and beauty.

skaters and their comparative
