To Aid Heart Patients

swells up and there is a general
condition Of dropsy.

Virginia Reciprocity
Rules on D. T.. Doctors
Will Be Discussed

A proposal that Virginia's rules
of reciprocity for District doctors
be eased will be discussed by the
State Board of Medical Examiners
December 2, DR.. Guy w. Horsley
board president, said today at Rich
mond.
Applications by physicians in
nearby Virginia are being held up
in the District pending a December
13 meeting o fthe District Healing
Arts Commission on Licensure Prac-
tice.
The Associated Press quoted DR.
Horsley as saying he was not IA
miliar with the exact terms of the
proposal to be- considered by the
Virginia authority but that CORE
spondence on the matter was in the
hands of DR.. Kenneth Parsons
Graves, Roanoke, secretary.
The Districts action was an
nounced Saturday as the result OF
the experience of Washington
doctor. The physician, employed by
a large District institution to care
for the health of its employees, was
questioned when he attempted to
treat a patient in nearby Virginia
A reciprocity agreement exists be-
tween the District and Maryland.
At present the Virginia board has
a reciprocity agreement with the
District identical to that it has with
other States.
Under this agreement, a Wash
ington doctor may obtain a license
to practice in Virginia without TAX
ing the Virginia boards examina-
ton If he has practiced for at least
two years.
DR.. Horsley said he understood a
request would be made for the Vir-
ginia board to approve some form
of temporary or borderline licenses,
which would permit a Washington
physician to practice in Arlington.
He added that a 1914 Virginia law
dealing with the boards authority
had made no provision for such
licenses

been born in the course Of that
trip. Mrs. Dumont brought the
youngest back with her when she
returned.
Community Chest agencies took
an interest in Mrs. Dumont soon
after her arrival in Washington
where she found job in a hospital
laboratory. When little Catherine
became i'll, she was nursed back to
health at the Christ Child Farm
for convalescent children.
When the family finally was re-
united a year later, the Dumonts
tried to find a place to live here
crowding into a room in a boarding
house in the meantime. The chill
dren were enrolled at Friendship
House, Red Feather agency, where
they made friends with other boys
and girls, forgot their nightmares
and learned for the first time what
home could be. They started
going to school.
But the Dumonts. who had not
had a home since the war, could
not find one here. In desperation
they put all the little money they
had into buying farm in Virginia.
1t was a neglected and dilapidated
place but maybe. they thought, they
could make it a home.
Health Breaks Down.
The farm didn't work out. Mr.
Dumont found that q background in
law did not help much when 1t came
to farming. His health. undermined
by the years of ordeal, broke down.
Last month, however, when the
Dumonts droyesback along theroAd
to Washington In their battered old
car, it was not fight from failure
There was the prospect of job ane
a place to live in the city where the!
ti1ad first planned to make theil
home The road ahead seemed
bright in the October sun.
There was no warning when the
car rushing toward them suddenly
sweryed to the wrong side of the
