Sarah Vaughan Gets
Greatest Triumph

NEW YORK Sarah Vaughan
the little girl who just few short
years ago was singing in a church
choir in Newark, NJ. scored the
greatest triumph OF her brief but
illustrious career last week as she
made her first appearance on the
stage of the Paramount Theater
on Broadway and emerged with
one of the most thunderous ova-
tions ever accorded an artist in
the 23-year history Of the famed
presentation house.
That the incompatible Sarah is
not only snartist but also a fin
sncial success at the Paramount
is evidenced by the fact that the
theater's management has extend
ed her engagement to a stay Of
four weeks. through Dec. 20.
Sarah's option was picked up
even before the conclusion Of her
first sensational week. which saw
the Paramount's gross zoom 10 a

SPECTACULAR GROWTH

The principal argument used in favor
of compulsory government health insur
ance is that there is no other way Of pro-
tecting most people against the exigencies
of illness Yet the spectacular growth of
the voluntary health insurance plans in re-
cent years refutes this idea completely.
In the single year of 1913. the num-
Der of persons covered by hospital insur-
ance increased 16 per cent, and the num-
Der protected by surgical expense and
medical expense coverage jumped 30 per
cent and As per cent respectively, accord
ing to the Chamber Of Commerce of the
United States. At the end of last year, near
~ 100000 people had the hospital ex-
penSe protection, over 34,000,000 had sur
gcal expense. and Just under 100000
had medical expense.
These plans are gaining in member
ship by leaps and bounds. The cost to the
wage Garner and his family is low, and
benefits are generally liberal. Being volun-
tary, they have to offer good buy for the
money or people won't join, That wouldn't
be true of the government compulsory
scheme. You'd pa for it whether you
wanted to or not, and you'd take the kind
of service the politicians in charge decided
upon There d be no such thing as freedom
of choice.
This country has medical care prob
lem. But it is problem which is being
soundly solved through such devices as the
competitive voluntary systems. Regiment
ed medicine, which would be the overture
to socialized medicine, would be the most
dangerous possible answer

kind" will go into the mails on December
18th, when the nation observes the forty
sixth anniversary of the day when Orville
and Wilbur Wright put their first plane
into the air at Kitty Hawk, North Car
DINA.
AS part of the celebration, marked by
a special six-cent Air Mail stamp, honor
ing the Wright Brothers, letter will be
sent from Kitty Hawk on a Coast Guard
helicopter to Elizabeth City, North Car
DINA. Here it will be taken by jet plane
which will carry it at 525 miles an hour
to Dayton, Ohio, birthplace of the Wright
brothers. 1t will be cancelled at Dayton
and rushed back to Kill Devil Hill, while
the celebration is underway.
Aviation has come a long way in the
fOrty-six years which have elapsed since
the Wright Brothers put their flimsy
craft into the air on Thursday, December
18th, 1908. The first flight with Orville
as pilot, was ten feet in the air and only
100 feet long. Later, on the same day
with Wilbur as pilot, the plane stayed in
the air fifty-nine seconds and flew 852
feet. When news of the flight appeared
in the newspapers of the nation, few
people believed the report and the epo-
chal achievement remained almost un-
known for several years.

LITTLE FOOD AND LITTLE CASH

Good harvests. in the Northern Hem
isphere have removed the threat of starv-
alton from millions of people through
out the world but food production, ac-
cording to the Food and Agriculture Or
ganization of the United Nations, still lags
far behind world needs.
The report emphasizes the gap be-
tween the living standards of rich countries
and poor ones. The living standard Of any
people depends upon what they produce.
The diet that is available to these people
depends upon the moneytthey make 1t is
not only food production that is below the
worlds needs but the making of money,
as we'll.
This moves us to inquire why some
peoples make more money than others?
This is an intricate matter to determine
The glib explanation, of course, is that
some countries have more natural re-
sources, are more highly industrialized
and enjoy certain advantages in connect
ton with world trade.
This answer merely shoves the ques-
ton further back There are people in
the United States, where conditions are
presumably the same, who make much
more money than others. If anybody can
give a quick answer to this discrepancy
in earning power, beyond ability of. the
individual plus environmental and hered-
itary advantages, they should speak up.
