MEDICINE FOR THE
NEEDY

One serious charge made against
the medical profession is that the cost
of its service puts it out of reach of
a considerable proportion of the
American people.
That charge has been thoroughly
Investigated, and found to be largely
baseless. The Bureau of Medical Eco
Monies of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION has made an exhaustive
study, and found that there are few
persons in this country desiring med
ical aid who are unable to obtain it.
When Gueried, the mayors of hum
dred typical cities of all population
brackets testified that there was no
neglect of the poor because of their
inability to pay.
Anyone who has seen the medical
profession in action knows the truth
of this. The average doctor can give
but part of his day to the care of pa
tients who pay him. Many hours in
each week are given to charitable
work in hospitals, homes and institu-
tions, treating the INDECENT whom he
knows will never be able to meet a
bill. The great majority of doctors
! base their charges IN the abb 70
pay-and those who can pay nothing
are given the same scrupulous treat
ment as the wealthiest patient.
1t is reliably estimated that the
doctors of this country give at least
$1,000,000 day worth of free service
to the sick. That comes to $685., O00,0O0
a year-a munificent contribution in
deed to the cause of public health.
The old saying that "time is money"
is particularly applicable to the doctor
and he gives it generously.
The fact that the general standard
of health in this country is far above
that of the rest of the world is the
best possible commentary on the
quality and extent of American med
ical service. No man or woman, no
matter how meager his resources,
need lack expert attention in time of
accident or illness.

There were faces to remember in the
Valley of the Shadow,
There were faces unregarded,
there were faces to forget;
There were fires of grief and fear
that are a few forgotten ashes,
There were sparks of recognition
that are not forgotten yet"
Oakland is a community whose i'm
mediate past contained personalities
whose Eight of life" is worthy of
recollection.
The inspiration for this series of
articles was recently awakened by a
chance conversation with Oakland's
unofficial "town crier," Bill Sturgiss.
Bills vivid sense of the present is
partly accountable for his continuous
memory of the past that hangs like
an Aladdin lamp in his mind, and
when touched reveals scenes rich in
the color of life.
Now don't plague Bill with ques-
tons as to the authentic name of the
writer or to what extent these articles
are fictitious or real. Bill is not re-
sponsible for these articles, and he is
too good friend to betray the writ
er's anonymity.
From time to time names of the
living will be mentioned in connection
with names of the dead. But who are
the dead, and who are the living?
Our religion teaches US that life is
in proportion to ones radiance of lin
ltations. 1t is associated with freedom.
Those who have passed on are per
haps more alive than those who re-
main here. They are even free from
death and the fears of death. Think
OF how many of the people in this
community belonging to the older
generation are but as shadows to
youth These old worthless who still
walk our streets might as well be a
book of rich folklore in the seclusion
OF forgotten bookcase. Yes, those
here, and those who have departed.
have been too easily forgotten. And
for what reason?
What Of the present is so fascinat-
ing as to cause US to completely ig-
more the honored past? Is the antici-
patton of bombs, the impending crises
OF nations, the expectancy of tragedy
SO important as to hold the mind in
thrall? We would be much happier if
we could wrench ourselves from head
lines that leave us with headaches.
and instead seek out an aged man of
the town. Let his mind turn in fancy
back to childhood There you will find
the stream from which your life
arose.
Now there is Mr.. Fred Thayer.
Though he has seen four-score years
and more, he still walks daily to his
office, straight as a hickory. His ra-
contour style is crisp and warm, who
likes especially to dwell on incidents
from the remote past. | have in re-
cent years had occasion to hear him
relate many beautiful stories of days
gone by. But like as he loves scenes
from his childhood best, so do I. So
that whenever | think of Mr.. Thayer
will remember him best when he ex-
planned the Sunday school lesson
from a large blackboard in the old
Methodist church. He wore a Prince
Albert coat and the ever-present dia-
mond horseshoe stickpin was securely
fastened in large black tie.
