Lends Helping Hand

The American College Of Sur
geons ever holds up the ideal for
surgeons and hospitals and lends a
helping hand in all ways in striv-
ing toward that ideal. It's motive
is entirely that of improvement in
hospitals and medical and surgical
care everywhere to the end that
the patient may be the ultimate
gamer. Let no one believe that
it has any other purpose. 1t
imposes its will and program for
conformity not for the benefit Of
doctors but the good of society.
Indeed every doctor who is a
fellow contributes fina cially
and gives most of his time
and effort daily TO enhance the
quality of his work to meet the
common standards promulgated by
the college, and also to emulate
the spirit Of scientific achievement
which the College of Surgeons fos-
ters in its ever busy program
throughout this continent.
Impossible to Hold
Physical handicaps and string
emit finances has made it difficult
to hold this recognition by the
College of Surgeons of the Pierce
County hospital. These handicaps
lead to automatic blocks to prog
res5. Certain rules can't be en-
forced when personnel is made

crowding and overlooking becom-
ing worse and finances always a

greater problem because of the tax
situation.
In the many communications be-
tween the administrator and the
officials of the American College
of Surgeons there has always been
sympathetic and patient under
standing of the hospital problems.
The many letters on file attest to
this. The College of Surgeons
rightfully uses means for dis
cipline of any surgeon or any hos
pital when necessary.

motion. The American College of
Surgeons has not removed the
Pierce County hospital from its
approved list entirely. 1t is on
the Professionally approved list.
Thus it is on probation. The col
lege officials await the needed re-
Mobilization of both plant and staff
which more money, added wings
and equipment will make possible.
Successful and permanent reor-
ganization of the staff is quite
contingent upon this new founda-
ton. 1t must be more than ideals
and spirit with no body or basis
upon which to rest. The 3-mill
levy is the all essential.

conviction. That he has been a good
administrator is clearly indicated by
the Importance of these public offices
and the service which he gave.
During his many years in Helena,
Judge Ford's private life has been as
exemplary as his public life. His chill
dren have received their education in
the schools and colleges of this state
and both he and his wife have taken
an active part in community prob
lens and interests.
Judged by his record in public and
private life, Judge Ford's career shows
that he has thorough knowledge of
the economic. political and social
problems of this state and that he
would make the finest type of COVER
nor. The people of Montana have de-
monstrated the fullest confidence in
his ability and integrity They are con-
WINGED that he offers them clean,
honest administration of state affairs.
The principles which Judge Ford has
adopted in his platform have won
widespread acclaim and enthusiasm
throughout Montana. His platform in
dictates that he has sound and mo-
dern view OF public needs in this state,
and his record shows that he has the
courage, ability and conviction to put
the program into effect.
More and more the people of Mon
tana are saying that if Judge Ford Is
elected governor of Montana, this
commonwealth will be led by a man
who enjoys the respect of his fellow
citizens and who is qualified for the
high office of governor by thorough
education. world of experience, and
by vigorous adherence to progressive
principles.
