Why Scrap a Successful Policy?

It would be serious error to take lightly the
warning by the Association of American Medical
Colleges that the Veterans Administration s
medical care program is threatened with collapse.
The program suffered severe setback when 1t
lost its former director, DR.. Paul B. Magnuson,
who resigned under pressure from Veterans
Administrator Carl Gray Now, according to
testimony given Senate Labor subcommittee,
other key doctors are threatening to withdraw
unless "basic changes are made in the present
VA policy governing the program.
After hearing both Administrator Gray and
DR.. Magnuson in executive session, Senator
Humphreys subcommittee found that the main
issue is whether or not the director of medical
services should have general administrative
supervision not only over professional medical
services but over those auxiliary or supple
mental aspects of medical care such as hospital
management, construction and special services
related to treatment" DR.. Magnuson was ousted
because he insisted on having this administrative
control
Whatever the technical arguments for re-
stricting the administrative authority of doctors
in charge of VA hospitals, the inescapable fact
in that General Gray's predecessor, General
Omar Bradley, by placing wide executive powers
in the hands of the doctors, raised VA hospltall-
zation standards to unprecedented heights
Under the Bradley policy, Dr. Magnuson and Dr.
Paul r. Hawley, another former medical director,
improved existing hospitals, placed new ones
close to large medical centers and induced out
standing medical and surgical specialists to be-
come active or consulting staff members The
medical colleges became interested and have been
of great assistance in supporting the program.
The only reasons so far given for scrapping
the successful Bradley policy are that economy
would result and that doctors, should not be
"burdened" with administrative matters. No
estimate OF savings has been announced. But
pertinent question is whether the savings. II
there are any, are worth risking breakdown
of the vital VA medical services. The doctors
themselves have made it plain that they welcome
the so-called burdens of administrative response
bility AS Senator Humphrey points out it is
difficult to separate administrative problems
from medical problems An inadequate heating
system in hospital, or an ill-equipped operating
room, can affect medical care as much as an
incompetent doctor or an unframed nurse. The
Humphrey subcommittee will render hospital
lied veterans an important service If it can get
to the bottom of the unfortunate controversy
and avert any lowering of the high standards
of treatment which our ailing veterans have been
receiving.

o. g. Forest Service.

Since snow rangers have learned to
predict avalanche hazard with high
degree of accuracy, the slopes at Alta
and elsewhere on national forests are
closed to skiers for only short periods
each winter. The lost time amounts to
only per cent of the skiing season.
So that snow rangers could get the
latest scientific know-how on avalanche
control. the Forest Service held two
week avalanche busters school in Alta
in the spring of 1850. Twenty -four
men attended. The school was con-

Antidotes for Shyness

magnetism of your personality.
There are a number OF boosters
which you can use effectively. All
they require is a little determina-
ton. perseverance, and daily ap-
plication. Try these one-a-days:
Monday, teach yourself that al
most everyone has a certain
amount of shyness by nature.
Many people who fool you by put
ting up a good front are just as
shy of you as you are of them.
It's relaxing thought, you'll find.
Tuesday, discover how easily
you can learn to look everyone
you meet right in the eye. It's not
only courteous, but gives you the
same look of confidence you envy
in others. =
Wednesday, sweep all thoughts
of your shyneSs out of your mind.
When you meet someone, instead
Of thinking about what to say and
how to act. concentrate on what
the other fellow is saying. Sur
prising, how you'll forget your
timidityl
Thursday, make a real effort to
strike up conversation with
someone you have always been
shy Of. Just choose a subject you
know will interest him.
Friday. try putting the shyest
person you know at ease. Only
shy people know how to do that!

the brain is not used because it is

We learn some interesting facts
about fatigue from the book,
Fatigue and Impairment in
Man." by Drs. S. H. Bartley and
E. Chute. When you wonder why
you feel so tired. since you
haven't done anything to make
you tired" consider these factors /.
(a) Fatigue may develop in Ger
tain types of unpleasant social
situations (b)Ial person may be-
come extremely tired at the mere
thought of doing certain types OF
work; (c)asif a given situation has
once produced tiredness, it, is apt
to do so again; I'D when a person
is tired he is. unlikely to feel
enthusiastic about anything and
when he is enthusiastic he seldom
feels tired; (e) in an emergency a
person can undergo unusual
emotional strain and expend un-
believable amounts of energy
without feeling correspondingly
tired.

Shyness Is a painful affiiction
that can only be cured by self
administered treatment, which
should be undertaken as early in
life as possible.
! receive more requests for help
with this charm problem than any
other, and not all of them are
from youngsters. Many an adult
woman writes that in the presence
of strangers, new surroundings and
unfamiliar situations she expert
ences a terrible sinking feeling
that leaves her timid, tongue-tied,
blushing. or seeking lonely retreat.
Although shy violets rarely ad-
NIT it, being overlooked is one
fate they unconsciously dread
most. Most Of shy girls troubles
stem from the little secret worries
about her ability to attract and
hold the attention of others. Yet
her very shyness drives people
away. Sympathetic as others may
feel when they sense the confusion
that even their most tactful ap-
proach brings to another, their
natural inclination is to ignore the
agitation
The antidote for shyness is the
development Of self confidence in
the power Of your charm. and this
