One Of the epic battles of the
coming year is likely to be the
struggle between proponents of the
Murray : Wagner Dingle public
health bill and Senator Taft, who,
as means of fighting the Murray
Wagner Dingle bill is proposing
state programs with federal assis-
tance.
Honestly, it is possible that eth
er system would work fairly well.
1t is certain that either system will
have to be changed as time passes,
if adopted.
The disgusting thing about the
opposition to the Murray-Wagne
Dingle bill is the downright misrep-
resentation of the measure by its
opponents. The bill doesn't compel
anybody to do anything. Only when
the benefits are wanted are there
requirements.
Of course among the opponents
of the measure is the American
Medical Association.
A great deal can be said about
this opposition, for it is loaded
with bigotry, masquerading as prin-
ciple.

Business Busts Three Times 1916

New York (LPA)-There were
more than 3448 business failures
reported for 1947 compared with
1898 in 1916, according to Dun &
Bradstreet, business reporting
agency. The figures, complete thru
Dec. IS, showed an average Of
68 a week in 1916 in contract with
21 a week in 1947.

Left to their own resources ana
devices too many counties are un-
able to apply preventive measures.
They need help and that help can
come only from the outside,
which means the state or the ma
ton.
We have too much of too many
preventable diseases. Too much
malaria, for example. Too many
counties cannot afford wholesale
spraying to rid their territory of
the malaria carrying mosquito.
Too many communities do not
have pasteurized milk, so raw milk
is used and raw milk can be a
source of undulant fever.
So, it is heartening that some
kind of legislation is in prospect,
so that more areas may have more
medical services. Mr.. Taft will be
conservative almost to the point OF
reaction, but recognition Of the
need for some form of help is at
least encouraging. And, incidental
ly, let him not forget that young
doctors generally like to settle
where there is the prospect of pa
tients who can pay for care, so
many rural areas get along with
out doctors, or with poor ones, or
with not enough of any kind.
We don't have many things more
important than health and the
health Of each should be the con-
cern of all. Let us fight and hope
for progress.

The ANA sets the pace for all
opposition and the keynote is estate
medicine, whatever that is. But
careful study Of the bill fails to
show that it provides anything that
could be called state medicine, with
out goshawful stretching Of facts.
Perhaps the most encouraging
feature of the whole current discus
sion is that it shows fairly gen.
eral agreement that some form of
encouragement is needed, in order
that medical care be made avail
able to more people and that, in
general, medical care should be and
must be improved. 1t is something
to find Senator Taft agreeing to
that.
We should not need this better
ment if medicine, as now practiced,
were available to all who need care
and if skills averaged sufficiently
high, which they do not.
We have great areas of popula-
ton with insufficient numbers of
doctors, nurses and hospitals In
fact, many of our great urban
areas do not have within them
selves the resources to remedy the
deficiencies.
Deficiencies of this kind boil
down to the single and dramatic
fact of insufficient medical care,
with consequent needless suffering
and loss of health and life.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-01-08

Just now we have some encour-
aging signs in the field of health.
We are told that the germ of one
form of the common cold has been
isolated and kept alive for months,
first step on the road to discov-
ering a cure. There are signs of
progress toward finding the cause
of cancer.
While the secret of polio remains
fairly tightly locked up, methods
of treatment have improved vastly.
But the best treatment is available
only in fairly large centers because
only there can the equipment and
the trained personnel be found.
In many other fields improve
ment either is under way or in
good prospect.
However, cure isn't the only
needed item. In too many fields
there isn't enough prevention. And
it is in the realm of prevention that
the greatest saving is made. Every
time a person is saved from dis
ease there is a vast saving in hap
piness and general well-being and
there is an enormous economic saw
ing.

The ancient Delphic oracle of
Apollo was located on the south
ern side of Mt. Parnassus, as any
reader of newspaper filters we'll
knows. This modern oracle of
radio is located on the southern
side of the Santa Monica noun
tains, on the sunny side of the
street.
If Burrows isn't careful, he
will start a new cult. Probably
a fair name for the clan would
be Extentialists (not existential-
ists). The point is that he man
ages to carry a point one step
further than has already been
propounded, an extension into
whimsy, as it were. For ex-
ample, said Burrows recently,
I'VE live in wonderful age of
chronological miracles we
have electricity, radio, penicillin,
jet propulsion, television and
double bubble gum!"
In the same vein, and practi-
cally on the same subject, Bur-
rows had this to say: 81 love

electric blankets. One is port
able for walking in my sleep!"
Call it an extension, call it q
switcheroo, Burrows material is
chock full of such surprises. His
songs pack the punch of the un-
expected. The observations are
sage, but the method is modern.
Ask the man in the street what
he thinks of the new oracle
(after carefully explaining what
the term implies) and he'll prob
ably say: II know that Abe Bur-
rows. He's a wi-i-i-se guy aW-

Are You
big Tirne?''
BY Ruth Taylor

Once | wrote an article
about the public relations man
in the circus and why he was
called The Front Door. The
other day when / was talking
with the labor editor who gave
me that slogan, I noted that,
in his vivid circus lingo, he
classified people into whether
or not they were "big- time" "
When l asked why, he ex-
planned that he meant they
were not merely these per-
formers who landed in the top
shows, but those whose work
was well above averag. Who
could carry the load of a big
job. Who were good enough
for the big shows. Who, in
short, were "big-time."
Are You Big Time?
Can you 60 on working
when cir C u m t a n are
against you? When there is a
job to be done, do you stick
at it, regardless of your own
personal plans? Do you do
what you set out to do? Do
you finish each program you
start? Do you practice to per-
feet yourself in your chosen
work? In the circus they learn
how to keep on learning.
Are You Big Time?
How do you stack up on
team work? Can you work
with others only when you are
bossing the show? Or can you
do your share of the menial
task with a willing spirit? My
Sloganner said: ''They are all
producers in the circus-per-
haps because they all ride
elephants in the parade" That
is, no m t t. er what their
speciality, or how good they
are, they aren't too big to join
the parade and take their place
in the line of march.
\re You Big Time?
- Let's carry it a little further.
How generous are you of your
self? Do you take time to be
kind and considerate of those
around you? A man is known
by the courtesy he shows to
lesser folk. Are you measured
in speech, strong to condemn
evil, but wary of hurting with
the careless word or laughing
phrase that bears a hidden
barb? Do you deal in false
generalities or do you seek for
accuracy and keep still when
you haven't the facts?
Are You Big Time?
The men who are big are the
men with time to give to
others. They have not waited
for their opportunities. They
have sought them and made
Them They have done their

station in life, they are recog-
nized for what they are-big
