SNC - First I want you to know
how much my 1949 Guide has meant
to me. I would be lost without It.
You have helped me for fifteen
years and 1 need your advice now.
My husband was killed in an auto
accident in January. Since then,
several men have tried to come IN
my life Should / take any of them
seriously?'
Ans: No. Neither Of the three men
whom you have been seeing are
eligible marriage partners at this
time. All of them have family con-
nections and are not looking for a
wife regardless of what they may
tell you. The man you met while
visiting your sister in February is
the most likely prospect of all. Take
your time - don't hurry into an
other marriage.

The news that the Oaks. Estate
is interested in a Florida-Nassau
steamship service is received very
favourably by the general public.
The cakes Estate has it's own dock
and will provide facilities for taking
care of its steamship, This would
be quite a relief to the government
as the present docking facilities are
being used to the limit.

A good food store must be clean

We believe our customers are en-
titled to top quality food at low
prices, served in clean, healthful
surroundings.
That's why we train and instruct
our employees to keep all trays and
cases and scales scrubbed and sani-
tary; to keep refuse and packing
cases out of the aisles and off the
sidewalks; and to keep floors and
grocery racks neat and orderly.
Sometimes during rush periods it's
hard to keep store as neat as it
should be. But that's our job, and
you will be doing Us favor if your

D. T.. Medical Society
Votes Down Test on
SIS ANA Assessment
By Georqe Beveridqe'

The District Medical Society
voted last night against a refer
endum to test the sentiments OF
society members on the contro-
versial $25 assessment levied by
the American Medical Association
against all its members, 1t was
The action was taken it was
learned, during a stormy business
meeting, open only to members.
1t came on a motion to consider
a tabled resolution, calling for the
referendum. The resolution was
tabled at meeting two weeks ago
officials explained they could not
report on the action because the
group was in executive session.
One doctor, however, told a re-
porter the sense of the resolution
was to ask members whether they
thought the society should take
stand on the assessment question
He said the motion to consider
the tabled resolution was defeated
by a vote Of 43 to 33. The number
of members present who were
eligible to vote was not known
MANY of them were said to be
associate members, who have no
vote.
Payments Reported.
Meanwhile, it was reported the
society already has received the
Evening star., 1949-03-03

$25 payments from a CONSIDER
able" number of members. The
funds were sent in answer to a
brief mail notice, advising doctors
the assessment was being made by
the society for the ANA.
It was recalled that the assess
ment question came before the
society at a December meeting,
called to hear an ANA official
discuss purposes of the assessment.
At that time, President John M.
Minor asked whether the group
wanted a vote on the question,
but no action was taken.
After last nights meeting, one
doctor said he felt doctors had
been treasured" by statements
that no disciplinary action would
be take against them, if they
failed to honor the assessment.
The ANA levied the assessment
in a suddenly announced move at
its St. Louis meeting in November
The organization has stressed the
fund will not be used to lobby
against national compulsory
health insurance proposals, but
will finance a grass roots ed
ucational campaign" to famili-
arize the public with medical
facilities and advancements.
In an address following the
