car racing "is mushrooming'
throughout the country. In 1889
there were 297 small car races in
America, and 444 such events in
l948.
Because faster cars are being
used at Indianapolis each year,
the AAA, which sanctions the
race, is thinking mostly of safety
these days. Before any car will
be entered next year, its vital
parts - steering mechanism,
wheels, axles and frame-must
pass a Magnaflex test.
This is an electronic test which
magnetizes flaws in metal. Tiny
bits of iron then are moved over
the car part tested, and will
cling to any flaws in the material
as they appear. These parts must
be replaced with flaWless parts
before the car can be qualified.
The AAA is private organi-
cation which offers various SER
vices to automobile owners who
join its club groups throughout
the nation. The association works
to promote highway safety, the
manufacture of better cars and
the passage of legislation favor
ing the motorist.

Crist Mill
BY REP. GEORGE sMATHERs

Each year, thousands of stu
+ dents apply for admission in
medical colleges and are disap-
pointed to find those colleges al
ready over-crowded and unable
to accommodate them. In many
cases, schools give preference to
applicants from the state in which
the school is located SO that the
student from states in which
there are no medical schools
find it difficult in being enrolled
in medical college. In Florida
and ten other states in the Union,
there are no facilities for educa-
ting physicians. 1t is interesting
to note that Florida is the only
state in the south with no medical
college.
In the year 1947, there were
only $3.50 graduates from the n
medical colleges in the United
States. That meant that, although
the present shortage of doctors is
one of the most vital health
problems in this country, the
ranks of the medical profession
are not being increased by a
sufficient number to provide
adequate medical care to our
growing population.
This weekSI introduced d bill
in the house which would pro-
vide federal aid for the con-
struction and expansion of medi-
cal colleges. If passed, the bill
would authorize the expansion of
twenty million dollars during
each of the next three years to
expand existing public and non
profit medical colleges, and to
aid in the construction of new
medical colleges in states and
areas where none now exist. Each
state would receive an allotment
on a population basis and, to the
extent of such allotment, fifty
per cent of the cost of the pro-
ject whether it be the expansion
of an existing school of the con-
struction of a new one) would be
paid by the federal government.
Such programs are already in
effect to help build and maintain
our highway systems and air
ports. 1t SENS to me the safe
guarding of the nations health
is even more worthwhile and
deserving of federal assistance.
Last week / introduced a bill
to provide federal help by a
method of long term government
loans for students desiring q
medical education. Providing the
financial means for students to
receive medical schooling would
not be sure if there are no schools
available for those students to
attend. Consequently, the bill
which l have introduced this
week is for the purpose of sup
plementing my medical educa-
tional assistance bill. The two
bills, if passed, would; first, pro-
vide a sufficient number OF
medical colleges for those desir'
ing to enroll; and, secondly
would enable worthwhile stu
dents to attend those schools tc
become doctors.

The box, however, proved to be
too small to hold the dolphin, and
as a consequence his head was
left out of the box. This proved
To bee a fatal mistake, and it ap-
peared that the dolphin was the
first to realize it. since he started
thrashing around in the box. and
soon had the lid raised enough to
where he could flop out.
Realizing what was happening
the skipper of the boat, grapped
the dolphin behind the head,
