It is generally known but the doc
tors who serve the local draft boards
of the country give their services alb
solutely free. This takes much time
of the doctors and the service has
been granted generously and with no
thought of reward A striking contrast
between the attitude OF the doctors in
giving this valuable service and the
attitude Of others that have endangered
the defense program through strikes
and jurisdictional disputes. The Brit
ish Red Cross recently appealed TO
the American Red Cross for one
thousand doctors. Many young doc
tors have already responded to the
appeal. Medical science has reached its
greatest development in this country.
Here We have had private medicine, as
contrasted with the bureaucratic, So
ciaIized medicine that exists in most
European countries. Every doctor is
encouraged TO do his utmost - he
knows that there is no limit to achieve
ment save that set up by his own
abilities and energies. That is why
American standards Of health are the
highest in the world.

the Vancouver club Of the W.

last season.
Smith is one of those characters
who have that quality known as
color"
Early last season. while being
used in relief roles. he became so
popular with the fans Of the movie
city that they demanded that he
become a starting pitcher. When
his first start was announced. one
Of the biggest crowds Of the sea-
son turned out.

baseball and. deapite his at

out tn Vancouver. where under
the willy Bob Brown he de-
veloped into q good hurier.
The elongated hurler has looked
good in the Coast league camp
this season and Manager Bill
Sweeney is counting him TO de-
velop SO he can take his regular
turn on the mound in the Coast
league next year.
Smith probably rates as one of
the most colorful characters in the
history of Tacoma baseball.
