been less willing to offer resi-
dences to them. This, in spite OF
the fact that the number of res
licences has trebled since 1927.
The report says more women
doctors marry than the average
OF other professional women. In
1910 half of the women doctors
were single, one-third were
married, one-seventh were wild
owed or divorced. In the same
year two-thirds of all women In
other professional and semi-pro-
fessional work were reported
single.
The average woman physician
is younger than men physicians
with an average age of Alb
years, compared with AL for
male doctors.
AS a result of the stepped-up
training of male doctors by
Army and Navy, there has been
a fear expressed that the field
will be overcrowded and women
will be completely ousted. But
surveys reveal that there never
has been a time when all the
medical needs Of the population
have been met.

WASHINGTON - w o m II
have made permanent inroads in
practically every business and
profession during the war, ex-
cept as doctors, according to a
report by Women's Bureau of
the Department of Labor.
1t takes about one doctor per
thousand civilians to meet av-
erage needs. 1t takes a little
more than six to care for the
needs of men in uniform. The
obvious reason for the doctor
shortage during the war is that
100000 of the population
needed six times as much doc
tor care. Increased industrial ac-
tivity also created a greater
need for doctors.
In spite of this increased OPP
portunity, the number of wom-
en- who elected to become doc
tors has remained fairly static.
The report shows that in 194l
there were 1146 women students
in approved medical schools and
in 1914, 1l76.
1T TAKES TOO LONG, COSTS
TOO MUCH
Here are some Of the reasons
given by the report:
Length of the training pro-
gram for medicine as compared
with other professions is of it.
self a deterrent to many women,
since it not only increases the
total cost to the student but
also postpones the date at which
she can begin to earn.
Before the war, an estimate
of $1,000 year was considered
a conservative allowance for a
medical education budget for a
single year; $1,000 is safer
allowance now. Since the war,
tuition rates as we'll as other ex-
penses have increased. The av-

Full employment" said Mr.. Truman, means
full opportunity for all under the American economic

does not mean made work, making people work
;. Full employment means opportunity to reduce
the ratio Of public spending to private investment

Probably some opponents Of the Murroy-Wogner

None Of this comment is intended to accuse Mr..

erage tuition fee for medical
schools in 1913 was $4O9 as
compared with 1918 in 1910.
The charge at the Woman's
Medical College in Philadelphia
is $780,"
Compared with men, women
haven't done too we'll financial
ly in the medical profession. For
all physicians, the average net
income in l94l was $751; Half
the physicians netted less than
$4,000 and 13 per cent earned
more than $4,000 in that year.
According to the National Fed
Grafton of Business and Profess
sional Women's Clubs, the aver
age woman physician among its
membership earned $4,000 in
1912.
Women haven't crashed the
lucrative business of becoming
specialists as much as men. Five
per cent of all women physi-
clans are qualified specialists,
compared with 8 per cent for
men. Women tend toward spec
ializing in children's diseases
and in psychiatry and neurol-
ogy. 1t is easier for women to
obtain proper training in these
fields than in general surgery,
for instance.
Highest ratio of women doc
tors is in the West. Lowest is in

Women had tough time in

WILCOX SPEAKS ON
C"HR|ST|AN|TY'S ROLE
IN POSTWAR PERIOD

Continuing the March series of
talks by club members on conditions
and probable measures in the post
war period, Rev. M. ]. Wilcox spoke
at the meeting Tuesday of the Ro-
tary club and discussed the position
and duties of the Christian church.
The months program was arranged
by the current committee, l.. A.
Nutting and j. w. Corwin, to deal
with several aspects. The first was
Ia general resume of Americas des-
tiny; the second, by F. W. Graft,
was a schoolman's view of the duties
and responsibilities of the school
system, and the third dealt with
Christianity's role in the drama of
future history.
Rev. Mr.. Wilcox took the posi-
ton that the collective Christian
church must remain itself without
deviation or compromise of basic
landmarks, and that it is essential
ly unique in several respects. 1t is
apart from ideology, economics, poll
tics and material science. 1t recog-
nizes and ministers to the need of
the individual and his search for
unity with divinity. 1t is not local
or national in its view, but holds
that all people members of the
brotherhood of man.
How we'll Christianity will per-
form in the postwar period will de-
pend on those reared in or associat-
ed with the Christian faith.

RED GROSS TOTAL
NOW PAST $4,000
Sum Contributed To Date Is
Nearly AS Much AS Entire
Campaign Last Year

Laurel's contribution to the Red
Cross war fund was past the So
900 mark Wednesday afternoon. The
total reported at that time at the
office of Chairman Paul Wilson was
$5,042.44, nearly as much as the
total reported a year ago at the
end of the campaign. A week is
to yet elapse before the official
close this year, though the active
part of the work eased up a week
ago when $4,000, this years quota,
was reported as having been turned
in.
Laurel achieved and passed its
mark last week and since then the
county has also reached and eX-
ceeded it's goal. The quota for the
county was $4,000, of which Lau-
rel assumed 10 per cent as its share.
Most of the committees here have
completed their work and made
final reports. A few committees are
yet to make complete reports. They
are picking up final contributions.
Workers and contributors re-
sponded Immediately at the opening
of the drive when they were urged
to get the job done quickly. Their
action has markedly pared down

Regard 1t As Community's Project

By its action Friday evening, the

tribute to the community project.
Such was the statement this week

that several Laurel organizations
had previously expressed a wish TO
either erect or contribute to a COM
munity project of this nature. They
and several individuals who also
have expressed such desire to as
sist may now do so by using the
Commercial club and its committee
as their agents.
The memorial will be for all Lau-
rel service men and women and for
those from the surrounding areas
whose names do not appear on
elsewhere.
The committee wishes to
make the listing of names COM
plete and accurate. To that
end the public's assistance is
requested-includng initials and
the spelling of names, and such
corrections and additions as
should be made in the list now
displayed in the south windows
of Chapman pharmacy.
The committee said this week that
it proposes to start work on the
