fans are urged to stop looking for
odd and unusual settings. Right
in your own home town there are
numerous advantages for a mar
velous picture. The traffic pedes-

make an ordinary snapshot clas-
sic. Instead of wrapping that cam

home town. In all kinds of
weather. all the sections of town,
and at different times of day,
your village or city will offer thou
sands of good shots. And the
teen cameraman with his small
camera has much better chance
Of a candid photo. Concealment,

critics Of the action of the min

Mr.. Irwin.
Enthusiastic supporters Of the
action Of the association in unani-

confident that the skepticism Of
others will soon vanish and that
the cause of racial tolerance in
Northern Virginia will be greatly
advanced. ....
But the great bulk of the soft

their minds. They are studying"

The Rev. M. Douglas Newman,
pastor Of the Middleburg Meth

win for the presidency when the
association met in the rectory of
the st. James Episcopal Church
in Leesburg 10 days ago.
He was the logical choice, !"
said Mr.. Newman, for many rea-
sons. He has been an active and
regular participant and faithful
supporter Of church work in this

New Fee System
ToCurb Virginia;
Doctors in DC.
Rutland to Require
Advance Permit to
Treat Each Patient

Nearby. Virginia physicians will
virtually be prohibited from prac-
ticing in the District, under q
ruling which Health Officer George
c. Rutland will issue in a few
days.
The Virginia physicians are now
permitted to practice in the Dis
trict under a "borderline certifl-
cate" which means they may care
for patients here if they have a
certificate, costing 81. This same
arrangement is in effect with
nearby Maryland physicians.
DR.. Rutland has been trying for
many years to have the Virginia
medical authorities reciprocate by
allowing Washington physicians to
practice in nearby Virginia on pay
ment of a 81 fee. The Virginia
authorities, however, have insisted
that Washington physicians want
ing to practice in nearby Virginia
pay the customary fee Of $50.
rec Tor Eacn Patlent.
All "borderline certificates" soon
will be withdrawn, under DR.. Ruh-
lands plan, and if a Virginia
physician wants to practice in the
District, he will have to get a spe-
cial permit. costing 81, for every
person he treats. This will in
clude Virginia patients of Virgins
doctors in hospitals in the Dis
trict. The certificate must bs
obtained before the patient
is treated. This procedure
probably will take several days;
and in q case Of emergency. the
Virginia physician would have to
call a Washington physician to
take over until he received his
certificate.
DR.. Ruhland about q week ago
asked United States Attorney
George Morris Fay whether hs
might legally cancel the border
line certificates" and he has re-
ceived word that he may. He also
was advised that he could place o
fee Of 81 on the Virginia physician
for every case he treats IN the
District, even If the physician ap-
plying had carried a 'borderhns
certificate" for many years.
Regrets Action.
DR.. Ruhland said he regretted
the necessity Of resorting to this
procedure and that he did 20 only
after futile efforts to have the
Virginia medical authorities srant
the same privileges to Washington
physicians as the District grants
to those from Virginia.
Washington physicians who have
treated patents in nearby virginie
for several years have been doing
so Illegally, II they have not paid
the full fee Of $50. DR.. Ruhlanl
said, and he has received com.
plants from the Virginia authort-
ties.
DR.. Rutland long has advocated
that physicians be permitted 70
practice In any State. II they can
show they have the qualifications
and are graduates Of approved
medical schools. He said that.
during the last war, thousands oe
doctors from all over the country
were taken into the Army 10
treat soldiers, and the Federal
Government used their services IN
every State and overseas.
"And they did q good job." Dr..
Rutland said.
