THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
IN RAINCOATS. TOO

Most raincoats are labeled
either waterproof or water
repellent" There's a difference. A
waterproof material is coated
with a finish which prevents wa

not penetrate Persplration does
not evaporate easily.
The water-repellent label on a
raincoat means that the fabric
was treated to keep water from
going through Air Is allowed to
circulate and moisture evaporate
easily.
Check to see If the water-repel-
Lent finish is marked durable" or
permanent "-otherwise you may
need to have your raincoat treat

Honorary Membership to Stewart Fuller

Charlottesville. - In a history-makinp
ceremony at the University of Virginia on
June II, the University Medical Alumni
Association formally named Stewart Fuller.

During this Alumni Day meeting, gradu-
ates of the University Hospital Staff, said

Ice" at the University Hospital Comment
ing upon Fuller's gentlemanly qualities, DR..
Morton said that he was reminded of re-
mark of the late DR.. Paul Barringer, found
Grand first chairman of the University Hos
pital: There are two perfect gentlemen in
the University, DR.. Alderman in the Presi-
dents office and Stewart Fuller in the Uni
versity Hospital"
Many members of the University of Vir-
ginia Medical Alumni Association recounted
some of the stories about Fuller during his
half-century service record at the Hospital,
which began in early 1903. One of such
tales being about the nickname by which
he said the Hospital was dubbed-"The
Frog Pond" However, Fuller explained that
DIR. Barringer whose name is carried by the
wing in which he (Fuller) has worked reg
ularly since its establishment in 1886, said
the Pond" had turned out "some of the
smartest frogs in the country"
Fuller-"Pete'' as he is fondly dubbed
by the old-timers around the hospital, is of
the "Old School,"
Not only is he highly respected and be-
loved by hospital and University officials,
and workers in all categories, but he is
held in similar esteem by host of friends
and acquaintance of both races scatter
ed throughout the length and breadth of
this country
This great friendship which Fuller en-
joys was abundantly demonstrated some
eight or nine years ago, when, without a
moments notice, he received a telegram
from Boston, Mass, that his son who was
residing temporarily in that city, was seri-
ously ill. Both Fuller and his madam rush
ed to the New England city by the next
train. They arrived the next day, in a
strange city with on one to turn to for
guidance. In his Dilemma, Stewart recalled
that he once knew Boston doctor who had
graduated from the University of Virginia
Medical School many years ago So, in
desperate last-minute effort, Fuller search
ed Boston's huge telephone directory for
the doctors name. Luckily he found it, got
in touch with the then famous specialist who
still remembered the kindly treatment he
had received at the hands of Fuller when he
was student at the University. To make a
long story short, this doctor took over the
Business of securing immediate admission
of young Fuller to famous Boston hospital
where specialized treatment was instantly
available, much of which was performed
gratis to Fuller by the good doctor, in rec
ignition of the loyal and faithful service
rendered him by Stewart years before.
