THE FORGOTTEN PEOPLE

In the Bulletin Of the CountL
Medical Society recently there wa4
published an extraordinary article
by DR.. Frederick w. Filsinger Of
Buffalo, under the title / have ap~
propriated for this talk-"The Fore
gotten People" In the article, DR.,
Fiisinger offered many suggestions
TO his medical colleagues, sound
suggestions based on his long expe-
rience in practice. Fl.
The forgotten people, OF course,
are the aged Too often elderly
people are truly forgotten so far 40
good medical advice or care is con-
cerned. Various medical authorities
In recent years have endeavored Ia
stimulate greater interest In senes-
cence, and few physicians havG
even tried to specialize in the treats
ment Of the diseases, troubles or in-
firmities Of old folks, There Is
special branch Of medicine dealing
with old age and It's diseases, and
1t Is called geriatrics.
This paragraph from DR.. Filsn-
gers article gives a fair idea;
"Our present system Of providing
for the aged Is far from being sat
isfactory, and there Is room for n
decided improvement. Based on
the writer's observations, many OF
the old folks are sadly neglected
and misunderstood, many Of their
homes are very depressing, there
Is lack Of cheer, good food, fuel
and warm clothing and warm socks
which contribute 50 much to their
comfort and happiness
Warm socks. Now II were writ
ing such an article that would never
occur to me. But 1t occurs to DR..
Filsinger because OF his success in
the study and management OF elder
ly people.
Good cheer. That reminds me TO
mention that, as more or less
rabid teetotaler and lowbroW who
yearns nightly TO kick somebody
whenever cocktails cocktail hour
or cocktail lounge Is mentioned Z
believe a good many elderly folk
who never have INDUCED IN alco-
holic liquor or beverage at all or
except occasionally should cultivate
the habit Of taking little wine or
beer once or twice q day. Not all.
but many Of them.
There are many people who would
be easier TO live with when they
get along IN years, II they would
have their daily pint OF bitterS or
glass Of wine. But only people
who arc truly elderly. getting along
In years. Never young people or
people still In the prime OF life.

WE'RE OFF AGAIN!

There we go again. Rationing
of meats, edible fats, and oils,
including butter, cheese and
canned fish has started. 1t may
be April FOOLS Day but there is
no fooling about rationing. Ask
any Kennewick wife! We have
expected this limitation for some
time and believe it will work out
that there will be more people who
will have their meat meals than
during the days when there was
no limit-and no meat. Rationing
is supposed to slow down and per-
haps stop entirely the black mar
ket trade. Those consumers who
would pay the high prices won't
be able to buy such quantities now.
The meat allotment will supply us
with enough of the food to keep us
up to par in health. Our boys in
many of the theaters of war aren't
getting as much and they are hold
ing their own, and more! We
wouldn't enjoy a roast much if
we felt that by paying a black
market price we were keeping
timed beef from a neighbours boy
in the Solomans. The black mar
ket affected the camps and their
supply of meat for the holders,
here at home. No T-bone steak
is worth it, is it? We are being
given more coffee, points reduced
in certain dried foods, which |
shows that as a supply increases
we will benefit from it. Sure we'll |
manage and though it is going to
cause the local cooks to scratch
their heads for varied meals and
tasty dishes, our women are as re-
sourceful as those of any country,
and our men will help by ceasing
to be so "finicky" and give en-
enlargement to the lady with the
ladle. |

One good lesson that many at
home are getting out of the war is
that they can reduce expenses and
save money and really enjoy the
experience. Many are learning
that many of the expensive habits
that have been accumulated
through the prosperous years of
the past have added very little to
the enjoyment of life and living.
Many of the more worthwhile
things cost the least. The extra
frills are always purchased at a
premium. In the past many have
ceased to think of saving. The
thought has been more on spend
ing and getting this or that. 1t
will be wholesome thing if we
can reach a point where we will
get the same thrill out of saving a
dollar that we used to get out of
spending dollar. i@'- ,+=>.. 81 ].

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM

/ Everybody wants freedom
Freedom" is popular word
But, as Eric Johnson recent,
pointed out in an article in Read
er's Digest Your Stake in Cap
italism, you cannot have freedom
unless you also have capital
ism" Capitalism is as unpopular
as freedom is popular-and there
in lies the danger to freedom.
1t has long been good politica
strategy to talk about freedom anc
damn capital in the same breath
Under such inconsistent reasonins
our lawmakers have enacted much
social legislation designed to en-
nance the freedom of the individ-
ual by establishing of wage and
hour standards and other economic
safeguards, while at the same time
passing laws which destroy cap
ital and threaten the very freedom
they profess to uphold.
Capital is accumulated savings
which, put to productive use by
private citizens, supplies jobs and
opportunities. When private cit
liens are prevented from accu-
mulating capital and using it to
create jobs, private jobs in free
enterprise gradually cease to exist.
AS Mr.. johnson observes: 60. {.
A great many peopple-in polling
booths and in legislative bodies
have thought that you can tax
business just as much as you like
and still have free enterprise and
the American way of life You
cannot. Just suppose that you
taxed all new savings and all new
profits and all new capital out of
private hands into the public
treasury. What would you have
left to be the creator of new
jobs? Only the government. Only
the totalitarian state :. We stand
at a solemn parting of the ways.
Our business leaders and our
labor leaders want freedom /. i
But what is the price of freedom?
| say it is the capital with which
to operate capitalism. The word
is capitalism" -
Freedom will be lost unless we
recognize the truth of Mr.. John
sons words. ~ |
