SOCIAL MEDICINE DEBATED HERE BY
 HIGH SCHO0lERS

Dcbaters from Ketchikan and Ju- neau High Schools last night ar gued the relative merits and de- merits of the question, Resolved: That the United States should adopt compulsory medical care for all its citizens, in an efficient and most entertaining manner.
 Speaking for the negative side of the question were Shirley Ander- son, Charles Graham and Jay Dex- ter from Ketchikan; and for the affirmative, Mary Lou Fagerson, Lois Hared and Dick Wingerson of Juneau The Rev, Willis R. Booth was chairman.
 No decision was made by judges in last nights debate, which was done in the forum style" This leaves any decision in the question up to the members of the audience individually.
 Introducing the affirmative, Dick Wingerson suggested that although socialized medicine would cost a great deal, yet no cost is too high to pay for good health.
 Socialized medicine, said Wmger- son, is as American as house rais- ings where neighbors went together to help each other out. If helping each other in difficulties is Social ism, said he, Let's have more of it."
 Charles Graham took the stand against the question first for Ketchikan. He painted a picture of mass production" treatment to substantiate his argument that Am- erica's medical care, now the best in the world, would deteriorate under program of socialized med icine.
 The program as proposed in the Wagner Murray -Dingle bill, said Graham, would cost more than the value that could be gotten out of it. The program is opposed by Am erica's medical profession, and is, he said, impracticable. ] National Asset : Good health is a national asset, stated Mary Lou Fagerson for the affirmative. Taking up the existing group health insurance plans, Miss Fagerson made point in explain | ing that one is not eligible for membership unless he is in good 1 health.
 What does a person want when he is sick?" she asked Why, to get we'll" But, she continued, the average person cannot easily afford good medical care, and many who should have it do not. Jay Dexter of Ketchikan took bureaucracy to task, claiming that reports in triplicate wouldn't make patients get we'll any faster. Under such plan, said Dexter, there would be no such dependence of doctors upon their regulations. The doctor would still get his check from the government, even if the, patient dies
 Standard Is Low
 We're proud of America" stated Lois Hared for the affirmative, but we are not proud of our health conditions so long as we know that they are far below what it could be-"
 A well person, she continued, does not need medical care We want our care available to all the people who need it, not just to the few who can pay for it or for the very poor who can pay nothing at all.
 In the final negative argument, Shirley Anderson emphasized that better conditions for underprivil-

Maryland's football players this

Jacksonville. The Terrapins have
taken It easy for q week after 60
ing through their fairly stin 10
game regular schedule, with only
q few squad meetings to break into
the relaxation and loafing.
Starting on Tuesday, though,
Coach Jim Tatum will step up the
tempo. The varsity will drill on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
this week, and they'll be real drills.
The plan is to devote Thursday to
q stif1 scrimmage under almost
game conditions against Georgia
onenses and defenses as mapped by
Maryland scouts.
Monday and Friday will be addi-
tional days Of work for those play
ers who didn't see much action this
season. Coach Tatum is looking
over second and third-stringers and
hoping to discover some who will
bolster the regulars in the Jackson
vile game.
A lot of work will be put in on
Maryland's passing attack. That
begged down in the regular season s
last game against North Carolina
State. The Wolfpack was one of
the best pass defense outfits in the
Nation and 1t showed it by permit
ting Maryland only three compile

cepting two. The Old Liners realize
they'll have to do better than that
against Georgia.
