HOT SPRINGS. Va. Oct. ~
The Middle Atlantic section
of the Professional Golfers AS
ISOLATION yesterday virtually
cleaned up all Of its 1859 affairs
except browning a champion,
a matter that will be attended
to here today and tomorrow.
There are eight former
champions in the field of A
playing for the $1,750 purse.
They will play '18 holes today
over the Par II Homestead
course and 10 tomorrow at the
tough par II Cascades. one of
the South's great layouts.
The pros reelected Bill Clarke
Of Baltimore's Hillendale Club
as president, but voted two
changes in the slate. Reelected
with Clarke were Henry &C.
rardi Of Norbeck Country Club
as Washington vice president.
Frank Invernizzi Of the Valley
Range as Baltimore vice presi-
dent, and Ward Burgess Of
Chevy Chase club as secretary.
Ex-senator Pitcher Named
George Bird. a former pitcher
in the Washington Senator's
farm. who turned to pro golf
when his arm went lame, was
elected Virginia vice president,
succeeding Harold Oatman of
Norfolk, who declined to run.
Bird is pro in Richmond. The
other change in the slate was
separating the secretary treas
urer position because of the job
load. A treasurer will be ap-
pointed.
The 1859 scoring averages
were released. Charlie BasSler OF
Baltimore's Turf Valley Club is
a virtual Shoo-in for the Mid
die Atlantic version of the Var
don Trophy.
Bassler's average is 71.6 to
an even 70 strokes per round
for Walter Romans of Balti-
more County Club, the only
other player in contention
Woodmont's Clarence Doser,
last years winner, did not
play in the required rs tourna-
ment rounds this year. His
average for the rounds played
this year, however, would not
be low enough.
Romans won the Maryland
Open, the Baltimore match play
Open and was medalist in the
National PGA qualifying. The
Maryland Open was the only
one that counted in the aver
ages. Bassler made his mark
with several sub-70 rounds in
the pro-amateurS. Rom a n S
would have to win the tourna-
ment and Bassler to blow up to
make a change.
$3.50 in Prize Money
The tournament committee
had to go to the minutes of an
early meeting to learn that the
championship counts in the
season-long ringer tournament
There is $3.50 in prize money,
$500 donated by the Coca Cola
Company.
Romans, Cos TiSo of Bonnie
View and Carl RaSnic of Fred
ericksburg are tied with 81
under par totals, Romans and
Tiso with 10 brides and three
eagles, and Rasnic with II
brides and four eagles. Bassler
is next, 20 under par. It is
likely there will be a three-way
tie, as there are not many holes
here where eagles will be made
So the championship could
be a factor in determining the
scoring average trophy and
ringer prizes, in addition to the
title.
The pros voted to separate
the annual meeting and the
championship in the future

This is the story of a
couple who established q
"beachhead" for retirement.
They are the Henry w.
Meadows. Their reasoning.
while logical, is unique. ~
"When / reached 81" Mr..
Meadows says. my wife and
] were already trying to fig
ure out how to escape from
city living at IS. The chill
dren had been of our hands
for eight years and we had
travelled much on our vaca-
tons. always looking for a
place to settle.
They figured they would
have to put roots in the
ground-probably In the
form Of buying some prop
erty-before any retirement
spot would have any magnet
ism for them after they re-
turned home.
you've got to have some
such beachhead," Mr.. Mead
ows says. "Your children liv-
ing there can be a beachhead.
So can old friends. Or fellow
employees from the company.
Or property your savings
have bought.
Distance Too Great
"But our children and
friends have not gone to the
spot we found pleasant. And
attempts to buy property in
far-away places on the ac-
quaintance Of a three-week
vacation were foolish.
so the Meadows, VINO lived
In a city apartment, decided
to buy q farm so miles out
Of town. 1t was in Mr..
Meadows 61st year.
The farm cost them $20.-
900. They had $9.700 saved,
most Of it in United States
Savings Bonds. They took
$1,000 Of it for a down pay
ment and a Az per cent
mortgage for $4,000. 1t was
a farm that had a reliable
tenant family already living
on it and that had a record
Of around $1,000 a year in
come for the owner.
The Meadows made a deal
with the tenant whereby
they (the Meadows) could
make any use they chose

feel I should have some as
surance that I'm not wasting
my time with him. One diff
ficulty is that he'll go quite
far away to college and
won't be able to come home
more than twice a year.

they say he is too young to

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
What Makes a Good Doctor?
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

DEAR DIR. STEM
GROIN: What is the first
essential. in your opinion. for
being a good doctor? I have
been having a discussion with
q friend about it. He says
1t is being a good listener.
And ] say it is being thor

on? Mr.. B. B. T., Phoenix.
AriZ."
I'M NOT HEDGING when
! say ! am on both sides.
Between you two, you have
hit upon two necessary in
gradients Of the good doctors
makeup.
1t is essential that the
good doctor listen long and
patiently to the history Of
your illness. No examination
can be complete without it.
Then, having obtained the
history of illness. he must be
thorough in his examination.
We used to have a bril-
liant professor Of medicine
who impressed the need for
thoroughness upon us stu
dents by stressing that the
man who doesn't take the
time to make a thorough
rectal examination will go
through life as just another
doctor" But the one who
deos a routine rectal may
become an outstanding man
IN diagnosis.
Then he went on to explain
that the exam was only one
2 facet Of thoroughness. The
doctor must think Of every
possibility when the patient
presents himself for dag
nosis.
When / have been asked
my definition of a good doc
tor I reply: "A good doctor
Is one who thinks of the
worst and hopes for the
best" In other words, he
will not lightly dismiss ap-
parently unimportant symp-
toms which may be red flares
warning of the danger of
cancer. tuberculosis, heart
disease, etc.
He will not be an alarm
list. But he will rule out
danger by doing a complete
physical, laboratory tests.
and other Investigations.
The days are long gone
when a doctor can put a
stethoscope on your shirt,
listen through it, and be able
to tell. you what's really 60
ing on inside your heart or
lungs. That's sloppy medi-
cine"
MEASLES (Rubeola) is
caused by a virus and is
highly contagious. Usually,
there is an incubation period
Of about 10 days. Quite
often, during the first three
days, the diagnosis may be
In doubt.
At this stage there is
fever, tiredness, inflamma-
ton Of the eyes and cough.

I am a little disappointed
In Lucy's not being satisfied

we are to be married she

does the world have to know
about our intentions and

THE GOLDEN YEARS
'Beochheod' Set Up
Ahead of Retiring

Of a strip of the farm not
under cultivation.
"On the $4,000 mortgage
we were committed to $685.
a year interest. This left
us about 5000 a year out of
the farm rental. We decided
to add $50 a month to this,
for a total Of $1,000 a year,
to apply to the mortgage. -"
-Four years have passed.
They have cut the mortgage
a little better than their
planned $1,000 q year, and
now owe only $1,000 on it.
They retire next January /.
Started With Trailer
But in these four years."
says Mr.. Meadows, I'VE have
established our beachhead.
The first year we rented a
trailer on our vacation,
parked 1t on the strip on the
farm and with recruited farm
labor began building a cot
tage. Almost every week end
for the next year we drove
back and pushed the work as
fast as my salary would let
us.
The next summer we were
able to spend our vacation
in the cottage by roughing it.
Two years ago we spent our
three weeks nicely there. and
started driving back for week
ends. BY this past summer
we had virtually q country
place. And come next Janu-
airy we've got ourselves a fine
home.
TITS our beachhead for re.
tirement. And it's deeper
than just property. After
four years we know folks for
20 miles around. :"
The Meadows will retire
with Social Security and pen
sion "in the neighborhood Of
1886 a month. The $342 or so
a year they must pay on the
remaining mortgage can
come out Of the $1,000 they
still get from their tenant.
This leaves $3.50 to apply to
the mortgage. which would
pay it of in less than 10
years.

A three year engagement
is awfully long In anyone's

know their own minds are
better able to sustain them,
but young ones often desire
them simply because they
