Postor,Wife
 Forum Guests Sunday Night

Dr. and Mrs. John c. Walker will present their newest all-color lecture entitled French Canada and the Maritimes" at the Second Church Forum on Sunday evening, Nov. 4 at 7:30 D. m. Mrs. Walker celebrated a decade of lecture making to re- turn in July of 1945 to the places where she made her first all-color motion picture lecture in 1886.
 With Dr. Walker and three of the children, Jean, Jennifer and Jill, she made a pilgrimage to the quaint old dities of Montreal and Quebec, famed in song and story for cen turies, where they feel the tempo of modern life lived in the shadows of crumbling walls. The healing shrine of Sts. Anne de Beaupre, the laundering Montmorency Falls and the majectic beauty of the Sague- nay river make a dramatic prelude to the picturesque grandeue of the Gaspe Peninsula. Here we are charmed by carpets of flowers on every hillside and myriads of birds nesting on World-famed BonaVen- ture Island.
 Living on Bonaventure Island for several days and becoming friendly with the Gannets, those huge sea geese which nest there by the tens of thousands, made it possible for Mrs. Walker to get intimate close ups of the family life of these fas- cinating birds. Rocher Berce, called Pierced Rock because of it's sea- washed hole piercing it's side, looks like a ship washed up on the beach nosing into shore. The Walkers went with cod fishing fleet out to sea to make the catch and then back to shore where the fish are cleaned and dried. Quaint dog -carts, breath taking sea capes, bread making in outdoor ovens, and the friendly French Canadians are typical of the charm of the Gaspe. From the Gaspe to Monoton where they watched the worlds highest and sWiftest tide come in, then to the Eyangeline Country, immortalized by Longfellow, links the past and present Acadia.
 Melville B. GrosVenor who pre- viewed this lecture last week at the National Geographic Society Tn Washington, D. c. writes: You have some very interesting footage, par ticularly covering he golden-headed gannets and Perce Rock, Some of these shots are quite extraordinary

this type of trouble for $3.50 per
month per family.
Seventy-odd per cent of the doc
tors in the state agreed to accept a
set scale of fees for treating families
with an income under So. 500 year !:
appendectomy. SIS; removal of gall
bladder, SIPS; tonsillectomy, $25.
If the annual income was over
81, 500, doctors could charge more.
The plan ran on more financial
hardship when people signed up,
then went directly to the hospital
to have old ailments hernia, a
chronic appendix - repaired. In an
average group, 40 people in every
1000 have surgery each year. In
some of the groups, however, this
figure rose to l20.
One beneficiary had seven chill
dren. A week after joining he
marched them all to the hospital
to have tonsils removed. MINIS has
been called on to finance an incred-
ible array of surgical corrections:
755 harelips. 68 web fingers, l,75l
cross eyes, Oil cleft palates.
Almost all new groups signed up
produce a shock load of immediate
surgery. Once this is worked off,
rates simmer down to normal. Sur
geons have no fault to find with this.
1t permits them to clean up
chronic ailments, relieves them
of worries over bills. Payments
are made within 10 days.
There are also obvious attrac-
tons from the patients point of
view. He can select any doctor ne
likes, knowing in advance that there
will be no bill for the new baby or
the broken leg. Last year MMS paid
bills for 65, 900 people.
MINIS is exploring means of spread
ing out to cover people not touched
so far. In two rural areas a drive is
under way to enlist entire communi-
ties. Small town banks have pro-
posed that this health insurance be
offered all their depositors, the bank
deducting dues.
Proposal for the Poor
l HE plan is already reaching one
out of seven people in Michigan, and
J. c. Ketchum. Director, hopes to
sign up half the people in the state.
For poor families, he has another
proposal. Why can't either federal,
state or county governments SUBJ
scribe for them? 1t would be far
cheaper than setting up a new gov
eminent bureau to provide such care.
Blue Cross hospital plans have
had bean-stalk growth in the past
decade - to a point where there are

LET'S PLAN FOR HEALTH
Continued from page ttoo

um foresees similar growth for surgi-
cal insurance plans. Throughout the
nation $500. 900 people are covered
by medical or surgical insurance
plans.
Seventy-five per cent of all
hospital admissions are for sur
gical care, the balance for treat
ing such diseases as pneumonia
and diabetes. And MMS is plan
ming to include all hospital admis-
sions
At present the Michigan plan does
not provide for the routine check
ups that often ward off more serious
trouble. And it doesn't provide for
the farmer's child, sick at home with
scarlet fever, or for the case of flu
that might develop into pneumonia
for lack of medical care.
Outlined Program
10 HELP meet these needs - and
others - Surgeon General Thomas
Parran, of the U. S. Public Health
Service, several years ago outlined
national health program. One third
of the population, he said, has ade-
quate funds to buy all the medical
care it needs. Sickness falls as hard
ship on the middle third. The bot
tom third of the country has never
had sufficient funds for medical care.
As a solution, he proposed that
the top third 60 along buying medi-
cal care as it always has; that the
middle third be insured against i'll
ness; that the bottom third con-
tinue to be provided free medical
care, as it is now in most of our
cities.
Surgeon General Parran proposed
a nationwide network of hospitals:
small rural health centers. rural hos
pitals. district hospitals, base hospi-
tails. The rural health centers would
cost about $4,000 each, provide
minimum health services for small
communities. More serious cases
would be passed on to the larger.
better-equipped institutions. The
rural hospital would deliver the new
baby, the base hospital would re-
move the brain tumor.
In the decade following the war,
Parran feels the nation could wisely
spend $1,000, 100000 building in
stitutions to attract more doctors
to rural areas, provide care previ-
ously unavailable to millions.
If these hospitals would not COM
pletely solve the problem of getting
good medical care to the bottom
third, they would at least provide
a framework for such a solution.
Plans might be worked out for poor
people to pay nominal sums for
Evening star., 1945-08-19

care, government funds to make up
the rest.
All of these proposals, however,
assume that we are going to con-
tinue having diseases at our present
rate. Why not be foresighted and
try to stamp out unnecessary sick
ness? This means a co-ordinated
program of research.
We have been almost criminally
shortsighted in expending funds
here. For example, we spend $780,
100000 year on care of the insane
- but under 81. .OOO, 900 on research
into causes and possible cures. We
spend only $1,000. 900 on cancer re-
search - and cancer takes lives at
rate three times as fast as the war
does. Each victim gets about 81
worth of research - not enough to
pay for flowers for his funeral!
tuberculosis, murderer Of $1,000
people a year, gets under $500, 900
for research; and the common cold
virtually nothing. We spend less in
a year on medical research than we.
spend conducting the war for one
hour! Full-scale research on all
major diseases must be part of any
postwar health plan.
None of these problems will solve
themselves. They must be solved
by all of US - and it isn't going to
be easy. There will be rancor and
bitterness, a tremendous effort to
confuse the issues involved.
Eyes On the Ball
lHE best the average person can
do is to keep his eye steadily on the
ball. We can no longer deny the
fruits of medical knowledge to a
large part of the population. A
means must - and will - be found
whereby the Ozark farmer can get
correction of the hernia that is max
ing him only half citizen. The Fall
River bookkeeper must be guard
ed against the protracted illness
which will cost him his home
and his future.
Whether solution of all these prob
lens will be accomplished by volun-
tary effort on the part of doctors,
or by legislation. or by combination
of the two, remains to be seen. But
every citizen has stake in the dis
cussion. To protect himself he will
do we'll to watch all pending legis-
lation, and to discuss problems in
volved with his physician. with
health officers, with relief workers
who know medical needs at the bot
tom of the income ladder Then he
can make up his mind about where
he stands on one of the vital ques-
tions facing US today. The End
