CHAPTER FIVE
cong down in the elevator and
across the great colorful man
1loor toward the street, Leda fell
a ramlllar sense of excitement and
Well-belng rise in her. She knew +
al. SO well, the movement and
color Of the Saturday crowd OF
shoppers, the tasteful decorations
along the broad center aisle. the
sparkling showcases filled with
enhancing wares, the salesgirls in
thelr smart black dresses. And vet
IL was ever new and changing,
l e a many-faceted jewel. Leda
never tired of it. She was proud
TO be a part of such a great or
ganlzatlon, an important cog in
the machinery which helped it to
operate smoothly. Her earlier
mood of unreasonable depression
was lost entirely in the sense of
satisfaction j us walking through
the store always engendered in
oJ CiS lille she SWEEP
through the revolving doors onto
Wabash Avenue, she was her usu-
al serene self again and all was
well with her personal world.
The apartment seemed unbear-
ably empty to Val after Sherry
had gone. Even the radio had a
different sound, flat and brittle.
Ike an echo of music heard from
a distance. Then an announcer
started to speak in a rich, per-
suasive voice and Val reached out
im%patiently and stopped him in
mid-flight. But the silence was
even worse, pressing in on her
like something tangible.
Val hated, above all things in
the world, to be alone. Usually she
managed to avoid it. But, some
how. it hadn't occurred to her that
Sherry would go dashing off to the
farm by herself. And heaven knew
when her mother would be home.
It was far too early to start dress

Just owing interest doesn't help
any.
Q. When we went to buy some
furniture last fall the man said il
would be $3.50 cash or So, GOO with
fifteen months to pay. We bought
on the installment plan. Can we
deduct the $40 a month interest
we're paying?
A. No. Interest was not definite
ly provided in your contract.
Next time you buy anything on
the lnstallment plan have the sell,
er give you a statement definitely
advising how much interest you
are being charged each month.
Any n paying interest OF a
mortgage loan can obtain such a
statement from the mortgage COM
pany. Interest on mortgages is
usually large enough to be we'll
worth deducting.

PHYSICIAN BLASTS
SPECIALIZED PLAN
Civilians Hear DR.. ]. Watts
Farthing AT Luncheon
Meeting

Dr. j. Watts Farthing, local
physician, is opposed to socialized
medicine because it encourages
quackery in the physician and ma
lingering in the patient, he told
members of the Civitan Club yes
terday during their regular lunch
con meeting in the Crystal restau-
rant.
Introduced by Civitan President
Lloyd Jackson, DR.. Farthing said
that "socialized medicine claims
to provide equal care of all, but
it does not"
Patients would be marked in
classes, based on their social sta
tus and income; these falling in
the lower bracket would be sent
to the poorer physicians, receive
less treatment and cheaper drugs,
he said.
AS an emaxple, he said, the pa
tents treated under the North
Carolina Compensation Act are
entitled to services and accomoda-
tons Gin keeping with their sta.
tons in life"
If the government controls
medical care, the future effect
will be the same as it has been
with the state controlled schools.
With the low salaries offered in
schools, the calibre OF the per.
sons in the profession has de.
creased. The same thing would
happen in medical profession.
"Socialized medicine would make
the doctor treat by the rules and
regulations rather than by his own
Judgment"
Preceding DR.. Farthing's talk,
members Of the club were again
urged to register and vote in the
special junior college election.

RALEIGH, Jan. 25.-North Car
olina needs 220 medically-trained
health officers, supervisoring ad-
ministrators and cliaicians, I'll
nurses and IS dentists to sustain
the states public heath program
&t minimum efficiency.
The authority for this estimate
b DR.. Haven Emerson, chairman
Of the subcommittee on Local
Health Units for the American
Public Health association.
Oh. Emerson lists North Caro-
iina's public health needs in his
monumental book, Local Health
Units for the Nation" which is
he result OF several years study
and which is now attracting ma
tion-wide attention.
DR.. Carl v. Reynolds, state
health officer, and DR.. Herman G..
Baity, acting dean Of the UNIVERSE
~ School of Public Health, stated
today that the states public health
needs a be realized under pro
visions of the proposed Good
Heath Plan of the Medical Care
commission.
North Cardinals p r e NJ OF
public health personnel is growing
increasingly worse e. it was OBJ
served. DR.. Reynolds revealed that
the State Health department is
now short 10 health officers, 29
dentists. a so public health
nurses. Valuable fellowships and
scholarships are being offered ano
other inducements extended to at.
tract capable young men and
women to the profession, he said
All efforts to recruit men and
women to fill these vacancies
have failed, however, and many
counties are now either totally OF
partially without p / c health
services.
So severe is the shortage of
health officers in the state that
everworked doctors, though anx-
ious to take refresher training,
sannot get away from their de-
partments to do so.
Both DR.. Reynolds and DR.. Baity
expressed the opinion that ex-
pansion of the University Medical
school to standard four-year status
would result in an appreciate in
crease in the output of public
health personnel.
The average graduating classes
at Vanderbilt and other four-year
medical schools send about 10 per-
cent Of their members into the
field of public health as a caree
records show.
Easing Of the personnel problem
due to the training of more public
health doctors would be perhaps
the most valuable and visible
benefit Of a four = year medical
school, the two leaders agreed.
A significant effect, it was point
Cd out, would be the reduction of
infant mortality rates, since it
would S e more doctors into
rural where the shortage of
medical service has forced mid

a science without the component
laboratory work. Harvard offers a
good example of the value Of close
cooperation between the school OF
medicine and the school of public
heath. There the two are so close,
ly related that it is difficult to
tell one from the other"
Recent successes in virology
were cited as evidence of the
strides against disease made by
public health and medical forces
working together.
tuberculosis control w a S given
as another example of the need
for a combination of effort or the
part of medical people and public
health workers.
In TB control, it was noted, the

nurse teaches the fine points Of
isolation of the patient in the
home, the %sanitarian provides safe

people with talent. courage. and
vision. and with avoWed purposes
and ideals with a desire for serv-
ice above avarice. With a four
year school, and the public health
indoctrination it would make pos.
sible, I believe we could develop
for North Carolina a generation OF
new, young, and energetic, public
health personnel"
Much of the credit for the phe-
nomenal development of the Uni
versity School of Public Health tc
its present position of regional
leadership belongs to the two-year
medical school, in the opinion of
both Dr.. Reynolds and DR.. Baity.
DR.. Reynolds S d that the
school of Public Health, working
with the two-year medical school,
is doing an excellent job and has
gained much distinction. He noted.
however, that a school of public
health in association with a two
year medical school has obvious
limitations.
eve could never have gotten
along without the help of the medi-
cal school," DR.. Baity said, land
we realize that we owe to the
school a large measure of what
ever success we have gained. But
it stands to reason that we could
make much greater advances with
a standard four-year school,"
Opened in 1885, the University
School of Public Health now has
ia students, as compared with st
students in the medical school.
DR.. Baity believes that future
progress of the public health
school will be greatly strengthened
by close alliance with a school OF
medicine, preferably a four : year
school. Certainly it is obvious, :"
he said, that we will accomplish
more should the standard four.
year school be set up. He rejoice
at the prospect of a standard
medical school, o we know it
will open new horizons for public
health rs we. We are sincerely
hopeful for the realization of this
proposed expansion.
The school Of medicine and the
school of public health have the
strongest possible relationship. ut
is impossible to achieve maximum
results without related facilities"
This conclusion was also ex-
pressed by DR.. Reynolds, on the
basis of his many years of ex-
perience in both medicine and
public health work, and close as
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-01-26
ISOLATION with the School Of Public

sociation with the School Of Public
Health.
AS an illustration of the degree
to which the two types of schools
are correlated, it was pointed out
that in North America there are
only 10 accredited schools Of pub
lie health and all r a part OF
an institution having a school Of
medicine.
It was further noted that nins
of the ten schools are associated
with standard four-year schools OF
medicine, the University of North
Carolina School of Public Health
being the only one connected with
a two-year school Of medicine.
Listed as the ten schools &C
credited by the American Public
Health association e John
Hopkins, Harvard, Yale, Colum
bia, Michigan, Minnesota, Cali
fornia, Vanderbilt Toronto and
North Carolina. In each case the
public health and medical schools
are closely related.
Examples of benefits which the
School of Public Health might ex
pect to receive from an expanded
medical school cited by DR.. Baity
included cooperative use Of clint
cal facilities of the teaching hospi-
tai Joint study of communicable
the medical statistical service,
etc.
Such cooperation between medi-
cal students and public health
students now exists at Vanderbilt
and other accredited schools OF
health, he said. At Wander
bi1t, for example, all clinical ma
terial coming into the hospital OF
the four-year medical school is
studied also by students in the
school of public health.
Similarly, at John Hopkins the
medical record system and the
statistical service in the medical
school have been set up and are
HOW OpCl dtCo " l II L Ny lilC
Schools Of Public Health and
Medicine.
Dr.. Reynolds emphasized that in
many instances, particularly with
respect to the study of communi-
cable disease control, the work Of
the medical doctor and the public
health doctor or nurse is very
much in common.
For this reason" he continued,
''it is only natural to assume that
medical doctors and public health
doctors who can work and train
together will coordinate their ef-
forts in the fight against such dis
eases as syphilis, %gonorrhea,
Rocky Mountain spotted fever,
d~iphtheria, ~dysentery, typhus, and
others.
ITO attempt to teach a public
health student without some train

the medical student training with
access to the resources Of a School
Of public health, in the opinion @:
DR.. Baity and DR.. Reynolds, is
that the student acquires a better,
more rounded knowledge of his oh.
legations to society.
Training and education Of
medical students in the socielogi.
cal and philosophical aspects Of
public health work is Of vital i'm
portance," DR.. Reynolds said.
'Such training should be under
taken early. The best student Is
the student who has HAD associ.
alton with both the school Of pub
lie health and the medical school.
This affords a fine knowledge and
appreciation of the relationship
between the two.
Public. health works with TIE
social agencies. If the medical
profession a be persuaded to do
the same thing, the rural health
problem can be greatly eased."
Adoption of the Good Health
Plan Of the Medical Care commits
sion will pave the way for closer
cooperation between the private
practice Of medicine 4 n d publis

dicted.
He pointed out that rural health

sion for "a North Carolina ccura-
ties not populous enough TO sup.
