To Expand
Medical Pro-
gram For Poor
First Years Experience
Favorable, But Heavy
Costs In Prospect

Favorable results have already
been achieved under the State Medi-
cal Care Program, Governor Herbert
r. O'Conor announced as he made
known that the State is preparing to
meet heavier case loads in the
months Immediately ahead.
The administration sponso e
measure, in suggesting which Cover
nor O'Conor sent a special message
to the Legislature, was the first en-
actment of it's kind in any of the
States of the country. 1t has been In
operation one year and State Depart
ment OF Healt Officials report that Is
has now been extended to every
county in Maryland. Under the pro-
gram, the State supplies free medi-
cal, dental and nursing care to indi,
gent persons.
High praise of the cooperation OF
doctors, dentists and nurses through
out the State was voiced by Cover
nor O'Conor. The success already at
tanned is attributed in no small de-
gree to the cooperation of profession
al people in different parts of Mary
land.
Although $20O,000.00 had been
made available by Governor O'Conor
in His budget to cover the first years
operation, the State Health Depart
ment only expended $123,000.00. AT
the beginning of the present fiscal
year, July 1, another 100000 was
made available as result of the Gov
errors action.
In order that adequate provisions
might be made, Governor O'Conor
requested DR.. Robert H. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department OF
Health, to submit estimates of the
number of cases to be handled in the
next six months. Upon completion of
the study of the estimate, the Gov
ernor announced that the State is
prepared to meet the expected case
loads from the financial appropria-
tions contained in the Governor s
budget. Periodical reports wiz be Sc
cured by the Chief Executive in ar
der that prompt attention can be CIV
en- to the needs of the State Health
Department in administering the
Medical Care Plan.
Governor O'Conor has declared
that the Maryland plan is the best
guarantee against Socialized Medi-
cine. Opposing as he has the propos-
ed RECOMMENDATION of TIE medical pro-
fession by the Federal Government,
the Maryland Chief Executive insists
that the State and local governments
can take care of the medical needs
of people without Federal control. He
has also stated that the experience
gained in this State during the first
years operation of the Plan has
shown lnnumerable difficulties which
would be faced by the Federal Gov
ernment If a nationwide program
were attempted. These difficulties al
ready point to the fact that increased
troubles would be met if country
wide program would be attempted to
apply to the various States of the
Union.

RESUSC|TATOR IS
DELIVERED HERE
Firemen Receive Life-Saving
Equipment For Victims OF
Arrested Breathing

Joe Larson of the Laurel volun-
teer fire department announced this
week that the departments new me-
chanical resuscitator has been de-
livered and, when members have
been trained by a representative
from the manufacturer, will be ready
for day or night service either with
in or outside the city's corporate
limits for victims of s~uffocation or
arrested breathing. The modern
portable outfit was ordered recent
ly as supplemental ~life-saving equip
ment.
Larson said the need for the re-
suscitator was illustrated last Fri
day in Helena when a 3-year-old
girl was observed by a policeman to
have been overcome by carbon-mo-
noxide from a running motor as the
child sat in a car while her mother
was shopping. The policeman ap-
piled artificial respiration and kept
the spark of life burning until the
Helena firepartment arrived with its
r%espirator and took over.
Larson stated that "when anyone
the Laurel departments ma
chine is needed he should immedi-
ately call the telephone company's
central office and inform the opera
tor, giving necessary information as
to location" a regular fire alarm
will then bring the firemen, all of
whom will be trained in the use of
the equipment. The machine is on
The fire truck at the city hall and
will be taken anywhere in the city
by the truck. Should the victim be
the corporate limits the re-
suscitator will be taken in a car. The
department stresses that the machine
for the benefit of all residents Of
Laurel and vicinity who may need it.
Cases in which a resuscitator will
save life are those of drown
ng, suffocatiOn by gas or fumes,
paralysis affecting the breathing
muscles, electric shock, drugs or
,ther causes of arrested breathing.
Time is the essence, and notification
be prompt.
Any organization or interested
,roup wishing to see the resuscita-
or in operation is invited to con-
act the secretary of the fire depart
nent; a demonstration will be ar
anged.'
Although the firemen have per-
onally financed the purchase of the
Machine, they have received some
ssistance from other organizations
nd will accept additional c%ontribut-
ions towards its purchase.

COPELAND SPEAKS ON
ROTARY FELLOWSHIP

DIR. William Copeland of Billings
who bears the distinction of having
been governor of two Rotary dis
tricts-one in Rocky mountain
states and the other in illinois,
and who is now president of the
Billings Polytechnic Institute, re-
counted some of the pleasures he
had experienced in many years as
a Rotarian when he spoke Tuesday
at a meeting of the Laurel club.
His talk dealt to quite an extent
with the pleasure of fellowship and
included several humorous incidents
that had come under his observa-
ton. One was when a resident Of
the States attended a convention in
Mexico. Being a linguist, he was
required to respond on behalf of the
North American English-speaking
Rotarians; being unprepared, he
apologized and stated his deficiency.
Although he understood the
Spanish language he was not ac-
quainted with all the idoimatic ex-
.pressions. He accidentally used one
that set the Latins into %uncontrol-
liable laughter, and he was never
able to continue his address.
DR.. Copeland recounted others on
the humorous side, intermingling
them with those of serious nature.
Of the latter was an incident in
a brick from the great wall
of China came to America. 1t il
Illustrated international goodwill. An
other was when a Chinese Rotarian
was assisted on his journey by ship
by a Japanese Rotarian when Japan
was waging war on China and had
not yet struck at Pearl Harbor.
The speaker was introduced by
j. w. Corwin, a member of the
committee for December.
At the brief business session pre-
the program, Chester Scott
was elected a member.

On Pearl HarbOr Day

Illustrating the interesting varia-

Tower, who has charge of the R.
w. Bates ranch five miles south of
Laurel on Spring creek, killed a
~rattlesnake Saturday, Dec. 7, the

which should have been in hiberna-
ton weeks ago, was summing itself
among some rocks on the southern
slope of a hill.
The following Wednesday morn
ing, Laurel awoke to find a warm
wind blowing from the southwest,
like an old-time chinook.
By noon the wind had switched to
the northeast, and experienced peo-
pie were not surprised early in the
afternoon when the slanting needles
of a sharply driven snowstorm
stung their faces. By nightfall the
