leased from having to 20 in the Navy, If something wasn't done about 1t, the town was proposing to organize delegation of 70 people to come down to Washington and get action, It was that serious. War or no war, these people weren't go- ing to let the nasty old Navy take their beloved doctor away from them. War or no war, 10 people were going to put further strain on the eastern railroads transpor- tation jam by travelling to Washing ton on a perfectly unnecessary jour ney.
 A check-up on this particular sit- uation back in Jersey revealed these facts.
 The doctor in question was and had been for some time a commis- stoned officer in the Naval Reserve Medical Corps. He was not only willing but anxious to get into serv- ice. He was not the community's only physician. There would be no shortage of competent medical tal- ent in the community.
 And though this doctor couldn't exactly protest to his patients be- cause of their devotion to him, his medical career in service was about to be ruined by the selfishness of a group of silly people who didn't want any other doctor to move into the community because they were afraid that after the war was over their old doctor might not come back.
 GAVE IT UP
 In the end, the delegation of 70 was persuaded not to come to Wash ineton, ard 1t looks as though the popular young doctor will go into service whether his patients want him or not.
 This situation is dealt with in this detail and in more space than 1t is probably worth because 1t is typical of a lot of the squawks that come into the Headquarters of the Pro- eurement and Assignment Service of the War Manpower Commission, which has the job of mobilizing the country's medical strength for war
 It is really amazing how much hell one neurotic Nellie can raise when she starts out to make a nui- sance of herself. but the fact is that when a lot of the doctor-short- age scares are investigated. they can be traced down to the individual head and bellyaches of people who think there is only one doctor in the world for their case.
 How much choice do you suppose the soldier or sailor with half leg or an arm shot off has in the selec- tion of the surgeon who attends him? The answer is that he's glad to get whatever sawbones or pill dispenser happens along, and if all the medicine he can get to help re- lieve the pain for bit is drag or two on a cigaret. lit and held for him by a stretcher- bearer or first aid station attendant who six months ago was a shoe clerk or a farm boy--well, thanks for that, And as for Army medication, 1t has long survived on a reputation for administering shots. iodine or salts for all ailments, so if the armed services can survive on such treat ment, civilians should be able to get along.
