MEMBERSHIP
CAMPAIGN AMONG
MEMBERS

The office is asking every local
president in the Association to send
the names and addresses of an their
members to the office in order that
we might have them before us.
We are planning to launch Mem
bership Campaign among the ~
members and this promises to be
one of the greatest that we have
launched.
So often the membership leaves
the growth of the local lodge up to
the local president and as a result,
we have not done too much. 1t is
going to take all of the members and
local presidents working together
comparatively and tremendously to
put things over. The presidents
cannot do it by themselves and the
members cannot do it by them
selves, however, if the presidents and
members get together, big things can
and will be done.

President AccIaims
Heart Research Gain
As Bonus 10 u. 5.
BY the A..oeiussd Press

President Eisenhower said last
night the Nation has received "a
bonus beyond price" In the re-
suits Of medical research adding
rs years to the American life
span.
Speaking on q closed circuit
television program to meetings
sponsored by the American Medi-
cal Association and attended by
physicians taking part in clinical
conferences on heart ailments.
the President said:
IF the annual toll from coro-
nary heart diseases were revealed
to the American people as a
casualty list from the battlefield.
the effect would be one Of ma
tional shock and a demand that
something be done.
THAT something is being done
is significant and encour-
aging"
"Climate for Searching"
Mr.. Eisenhower said the Amey-
lean way of life provides the
climate in which the chronic
ouestioner is free to rove, to
doubt, to explore in the endless
search for new and fuller an
swers." and he added:
Every assistant in a labora-
tory, every researcher, every
medical student, every specialist.
every family doctor is partici-
pant in this search--a search
which has added Is years to the
American life span within the
memory Of many Of you in this
audience.
These new years of expectancy
have been a bonus beyond price
added to the wealth of our re-
public. For them. we, your fell
low Americans. owe you our
grateful thanks.
Affects Nations Strength.
"a nations strength is directly
affected by its peoples health.
In that light, We must strengthen
and support those agencies of
Government which are concerned
with the problems of national
health"
The President said, however.
that the role of Government in
such matters must always be Sec
ondary and supplementary.
THE first responsibility lies
with the community, determined
to foster good health and to pro-
vide well for the ailing and the
injured; with the scientist as he
works in freedom toward goals
of his own choosing, and with the
physician. who brings his ailing
ministry not to the state, or to
the mass people as such, but al
ways to some man or woman or
child-some individual human
being worthy of his dedicated
care"
