Social, Economic and Medical Changes In America

exhaustive study by the American
Medical Association.
Associated with the social trends
and of great Importance is the prepaid
medical and hospital coverage of the
American citizen. At present about
120 million are fully or mostly COW
cred for these services. 1t is not un-
reasonable to state that the medical
INDECENT has almost disappeared. 1t
is everlastingly to the credit of the
American people that they have
achieved this laudable position by
their own efforts. They have accom-
plished this wholesome state against
powerful efforts to have them become
medical wards of the government.
Political socializers are constantly
hammering at the back door. with
measures under misguided titles, to
confuse the citizenry and enmesh
them in medical bureaucracy. We
should not forget the statement of
that frank and honest socialist, Nor
man Thomas, who accused both the
Democratic and Republican parties

AS stated in previous articles. medi-
cal services become a product of the
age in which we live and there should
be fear on no ones part that Ameri-
can medicine will not supply to the
people the finest of medical
care as it does now and will do in the
future. 1t can do this only by main
tanning the highest standards of medi-
cal education and training with men
who are free and dedicated to serve
the sick and injured.
There will be changes in medical
practice, more emphasis on preven-
tive medicine and public health, i'm
proved care of the aged and unrelent-
ing investigative work on present di-
seases that plague our citizens. For
a while there was danger of losing the
general practitioner under the vogue
of rushing to specialists. AS previous
y stated, both the general practitioner
and the specialist complement each
other. AS we advance in the knowl-
edge of human physiology, fewer and
fewer diseases will occur. 1t is con-
that with the conquering of
cancer and the degenerative diseases
Of arthritis, heart disease, and specific
diseases of germ or virus origin. sur
gerry will finally become a speciality
for accidental injuries and congenital
defects.
Today the doctor of medicine at

rue so years ago. People are better
educated in medical matters. more

ions, not so hesitant to enter hos

in this real boost for coed laws in
Montana is a problem. An after-dinnel
speaker would either point to the
leadership of Sen. Dave James OF
Director Gene Tidball.
The Council is real shook up be-
cause someone in the fourth estate
had intimated that at the previous
meeting the council had a real con-
Germ in perpetuating themselves.
That anyone would spin such a
yarn has caused them to examine
us ferrets for black and white
stripes on our bushy tails.
The Council met with a subcom-
mittee from the Taxation and Edu-
cation Committee and went over the
Report, and the need for
the passage of the "five-and-five"
constitutional amendment on school
bonding on the Nov. a ballot.
Paul O'Hare from the Department
of Public instruction covered the
same material with department sta
tistics and arrived at the same view,
the constitutional amendment is nee
essary.
Ellis Waldron of Montana State
produced his draft of the
handbook for the coming session of

The last four paragraphs of the

ecord. And so another gentlemen's
greement ends in ignominy.
Some more verboten stuff is the
correspondence from legislative coun-
lis of other states advising Montana's

MUCH FEDERAL AID TO
EDUCATION

Taking issue with the old saw that
federal aid means federal control
of our schools, Metcalf pointed out
that in various federal school aid
programs Montana receives more than
one-haf million dollars annually; that
Lewis & Clark county schools alone
receive about $4,000 a year, and
that in no instance has there been
any federal control of local schools
resulting from such aid. In fact, he
said the federal government must
provide considerably more assistance
if we are to adequately educate our
children for the increasingly complex
world they must face as mature citi-
zens.

Der reserves for exploitation and

AS for Sen. Murray, Metcalf en-
phasized the great value of the Sc
niority and the prestige Murray has
in Washington and stated that Muir
ray has accomplished "more for Mon
tana than any other man" he could
remember.
Sen. Mansfield in six short years
