We tried Scotty's stiff-mattress-

is that the castle cost $40, 000, 900.
Mr.. Flynn led us to the upper
music hall. Took IA men seven
years to build this single room.
Reeds for the huge pipe organ
covered three adjoining rooms.
Suddenly, the room vibrated as
the organ started to play. And
across the room, the keys of a
baby grand piano played an ac-
compartment. Ghostlike, keys
were going up and down. 1t was
all done with e~lectronics!
We spent the night in our
trailer parked on Scotty's front
lawn. But we didn't sleep much.
We kept imagining Death Valley
Scotty had come back down from
the hill.

What is a pharmacist?

WnaC is a pharmacist!
He is a member of the Health team" His eam-mat
are the family doctors, specialists, nurses and hospital
administrators who work for better community health.
He is the scientist on the corner" He is that unique
storekeeper who must have a college degree in pharmacy
and pass the rigid examination of the State Board of
Pharmacy in order to win the honored title of Registered
Pharmacist" But he does not stop there. Through profess
sional journals and meetings h. is up to date on the latest
research and developments in pharmacy and medicine.
He is the physicians colleague and trusted aide. In direct
contact with drug manufacturers, he helps keep the busy
physician informed on the hundreds of new prescription
drugs developed each year.
He is the physicians warehouse" He must stock every
drug that may be prescribed by the doctors he serves
medicines for hay fever, ~arthritis, the common cold
thousands Of them. Many resemble one another, but there
are no substitutes. The pharmacist fills every prescription
exactly as ordered.
He is a good ~neighbor. He knows and likes his customers.
He values their friendship and confidence in his professional
skill-that skill which stands always dedicated to the we'll
being of his ~neighbors.
He is a public servant. President Eisenhower, in pro-
claiming National Pharmacy Week, has called attention to
'tne splendid services rendered by the pharmacists of
America to the health of our people,"
Because the pharmacist is all these things, he deserves a
tribute of thanks for his devoted and indispensable service
throughout the year.

A CASTLE

Death Valley, Calf. - Around
a downgrade curve and off to the
right, the peak of a tall clock
steeple stuck out in the evening
sky.
That must be Death Valley
Scotty's castle - the stored man
sion of the gold prospector who
mystified the world with his
seemingly bottomless source of
wealth.
For rs miles coming into this
no-man's land from the north
you were hemmed in by low hills
numbed with drought - and a
heavy feeling of lonesomeness.
Never felt SO alone in your life.
In the courtyard, a black and
white collie, head in her paws,
lies still, looking out toward a
low hill into the west where
stands a lighted cross.
You learn later she is Death
Valley Scotty's dog, Windy =
Is years old - and is now too
feeble to make her daily trek
to that hilltop where her master
is buried.
Where is everybody? Yell, "Hey
therel" and receive only an echo.
Finally, there is a stirring in the
castle tower. It's Bill Flynn, one
of five persons on duty at the
time for the Gospel Foundation
of California. The foundation now
owns the estate.
In a few moments, the three of
us were standing in the living
room of the vast, sprawling stuc-
coed castle. "Sit down." Mr..
Flynn offered. 1t was the big
gest, softest leather easy chair l
eve sat in.
That" said MIR. Flynn, sis
where Scotty used to sit for
hours talking to Mr.. johnson.

chair"

nate. When doctors told johnson
he had only three days to live,
Scotty invited him out to this
land of fresh air and hot sun.
Johnson, who had amassed a
wealth of $76 million, recovered
and had the castle built accord
ing to Scotty's specifications. This
was the home of Johnson, his
wife, and Scotty. After the john
sons died, Scotty lived on here
until his death in January, 1854.
1t wasn't until after Scotty's
death it was at last concluded
that Scotty's fabulous secret gold
was Mr.. Johnson.
For two hours, we gazed in
credibly upon the hand-carved

Mrs. Luce's RESIGNATION

It is regrettable that Mrs. Clare
Boothe Luce will soon end her service
as United States Ambassador to Italy.
Besides being the most beautiful of our
diplomatic representatives abroad, she
has been one of the ablest as well, and
her good work will be missed. AS she has
told the President, however, she will need
several months of real rest to recover
from her recent illness, and since she
feels that she cannot take such a rest
and still carry out her official duties
effectively, she considers it best for the
country that the post should be turned
over to somebody who can bring to it
"the full measure of effort which 1t so
richly deserves" This is typical of the
fine conscientiousness she has displayed
throughout her tour of duty in Rome.
Mr.. Eisenhower, in accepting her resigna-
ton with very great personal regret"
has rightly congratulated her ION a job
superbly done" Italians and Americans
alike share that view and join in wishing
her a speedy, bright and full recovery.
