Anyone who has 'hankering" for
real oldfashioned winter weather,

all very lovely except for two or three
small matters, such as-that wind
which bowls so mockingly and those
breath-taking blasts of icy air which
insist upon crawling beneath our door.

Physician Taken From Cumber-
land Hospital To Take Part In
Annual Meeting OF Medical
Society At Hotel
is GIVEN SILVER PLATE

The same indomitable spirit which
Cor half century carried him from
:zsickbed to sickbed over the mountains
@of Western Maryland last Friday
night took DR.. Henry w. McComas tc
che annual banquet of the physicians
of Allegany and Garrett counties al
t[he Fort Cumberland Hotel in Cum
1erland.
Willing nurses helped the doctor
from his bed at Memorial hospital ano
dressed him up in his tux for the grand
occasion.
For it was a grand occasion, as Dr.
McComas' colleagues paid tribute t.
MIN on the anniversary of his 50th
year in the medical profession in Gar
-rett county.
Praise Skill And Courage
And not only for the length of his
service did they praise him, but also
for the skill and courage which saved
che lives of many man, woman and
child on prosperous farms or in noun
.Eain cabins.
Leaders of the profession told how
the little doctor pioneered in kitchen
table surgery when there was no hos
7pital in Oakland, no hope for the dy-
ing except in this country doctors kit
They told how he performed Caesa-
Eean sections to save the life of a
mother and baby; or operated for ap-
pendicitis or rupture when there was
not minute to spare.
All this on table top, with only the
prayers of frightened relatives and
sEhe knowledge Of his own skill to help
aim.
Platter Presented
DR.. McComas just blew his nose
yFhen they talked of his achievements.
Eze blew his nose again when DR.. Ar
Eznur H. Hawkins presented him with a
big silver platter with the names of
all the members of the Allegany-Gar-
-z-ett County Medical Association in
~gcribed on it.
The doctor struggled to his feet
after the presentation talk. Tears glis-
-&ened beneath his spectacles. But he
smiled-proud to know in what esteem
ne was held by his fellows.
And then, in firm voice, he thanked
-=5hem for the honor they had paid him
and dismissed lightly the feats they
had attributed to him.
He concluded in his typical way with
a joke-a good Irish joke which he tolC
IN good Irish brogue. Its point was
Shat a person should not take himself
900 seriously.
Same Old Doc

Friday night, cts just hunky-dory"

The Fort Cumberland Hotel on chail

He laughed at his own frailty anc
