Womans Club Advised To
Shun SociaIized Medicine

Speaker at the last meeting of
the Rockville Womans Club was
DR.. Frank E. Wilson, whose topic
was Socialized Medicine. DR.. Will
son has had wide background in
medicine, having practiced in North
Carolina, specializing in public
health work. He was in the Army
for five years and was National
Medical Director of the American
Red Cross for three years. For the
past two years he has been in
Washington with the American
Medical Association.
DR.. Wilson said the cost of So
cialized Medicine is tremendous
much more than it had first been
estimated, based on England's ex-
perience. People would get but
three minutes of the doctors time
because so many patients would
be assigned to each doctor. People
who were really not sick would be
in the doctors office taking up his
time while those who were really
sick would not get the attention
they needed.

Obituary
John Wood Riggs

Funeral services were held on
Saturday for John Wood Riggs,
Ga, who died on Thursday, Feb
ruary 8 in Montgomery County
General Hospital after an illness
of several months. Services were
held at the Roy w. Barber Fun
eral Home, Laytonsville, with

The bill as set up by Congress
provides that the administration of
socialized medicine be headed by
civilian and not medical man,
and therefore one can see great
possibilities for politics creeping in
and paralyzing the whole program,
he pointed out. To the uniformed
it sounds wonderful to think that
one is getting free medical care,
but in reality it would be one of
the most costly part of our taxes.
The doctors are trying to enlighten
the public and Offset the dangers of
socialized medicine by showing that
disqualification insurance will be
much cheaper for the individual
and will assure him far better medi-
cal care.
The cost of handling this huge
program would mean adding 1,500,-
900 civilian workers to the payroll.
This in itself would constitute a
tremendous part OF the cost.
The meeting was held at the
home of Mrs. Randolph Talbot
and co-hostesses were Mrs. Mar
garet Welsh, Mrs. James Nolan,
and Mrs. Merhle Haines. A do
nation was sent to the National
Symphony Orchestra fund. Mrs.
w. Ralph Beall, chairman of the
International Relations Committee
gave a concise report on the in
dividuars responsibility to the
United Nations.
Miss Charlotte Humphrey re-
ported a letter from the American
Red Cross thanking the club for the
various contributions of cookies and
the continued interest in this worth
while project. A new member,
Mrs. Everett Woodward, was voted
into the club.

In Sentinel of September,
1876, the year the Centennial cele-

count of some of the articles ex-
hibited at the celebration.
Exhibited by Edward M. Veirs,
Esq. a long gun, flint lock, al
tered to a percussion, attracted
the attention of the men. This
towling piece bore label inscrib-
ed: "This gun was owned by Mr..
Isaac Riley's father supposed to be
about 140 years old Gin 1870 and
was better known as Isaac Riley's

was shot out of Isaac Riley's long
gun.
H. c. Hallowell, Esq, exhibited
cane made from the oak of
Washington's house on Cameron

This stone was used at Mt. Vernon
for cracking walnuts.
Mrs. Henry Pierce exhibited a
Bible published in 1922 and tea
caddy 125 years old. Mrs. w. P.
Miller loaned foot-stool which
once belonged to Martha Washing
ton. Some old-fashioned combs and
bonnets created much merriment
among the irreverent juveniles.
(Smacks of juvenile delinquency!
Miss Mary B. Kirk introduced
Leticia Penn to a large audience.
She was doll, given to a little
girl in Philadelphia, by William

child?)
Mrs. z. D. Waters exhibited a

one published in 1851 and the other
in 1767. Mrs. DR.. Maynard exhibit

have a chance, and she would
enter him. :.
But the Saturday of the con-
test, when the three mothers
went shopping together, all the
children were in the best of
health. 1t was Georgia's turn to
drive. She arrived on the dot as
usual. Honey Lamb sitting prim-
ly next to her. Pauline and
Mallet-Head scrambled into the
back, and they drove to the
Plimsolls'. Georgia sounded the
horn and Ruthie put her head
out the door. BE right out"
she called. "Billy's just finishing
his third waffle"
GEORGIA released the brake as
Ruthie and Billy-Boy clam
bered in.
Aren't you afraid sometimes
Billy eats a mite too much?" she
asked. A touch of asperity had
developed within the last few
days between Georgia and
Ruthie. Il mean, for a Wonder
Baby?"
Eats too much?" exclaimed
Ruthie. How can a child eat
too much? They have to eat a lot
because they're growing so fast"
Honey Lamb only has a
little bite of banana and a little
bitty glass of milk for break

pointed out with triumphant
sarcasm.
Pauline sighed 'Honey's such
a bright little thing. and Billy's
50 big and strong. You've both
got a lot to be proud Of" As she
spoke. her eye fell on Mallet-
Head sitting next to her. He was
looking up at her. He didn't. of

were talking about, and yet -.
'tOf course I've got a lot to be
proud of. too" she added. Il

''Oh sure" said Ruthie gener-
ously. "Your little boy is so -
So"
"Oh yes. said Georgia, pleased,
like Ruthie, with the compliment
