Of occasion in the items they
pie ked UP around the Los
Angeles auditorium as the South
was being spoken for in civil

shown the politicians here and
there who went on with their
comforting and joke-cracking =
and the contrasting scenes of
boundless emotion - the woman
with her hands stopping her
ears lest a vile word Of it be
heard; the one whose lips form
ed mo-" mo" time and again;
the one who was cursing; the
one who wept as life held more
1ngratitude Of man to man than
she could bear.
Perhaps you wept yourself
that the South should be target
for all this hate. grief and hos
tile verdict, and this blind dam
nation - as if we were as guilty
as Russians against Hungary or
had ere at e d a concentration
camp horror, the South where
the Negro is more loved, under

IN spite of sins and mistakes

do not know their pedigree,
Their breeding or their birth,
But this know, they gave to me
The love Of common Earth.
The smell OF burrows in the spring,
The love OF and rain;
Their gardens fair with perfumes sweet
Now live with again.
And some who rooned through forest trees
In years now for owoy
Passed down ocross the years to me
Ny love Of trees today.
For forest trees bring JOY to me
And set my heart oglow
Because some one who roomed through them
Had loved them long oqo
Because some soul never knew
Wos charmed by bright fire Iiqht
now enjoy log fires glow
In coy rooms at night
And when ! see rose tinted dawn
Like they ! know could see
The thrill and Joy it brought to them
They have passed down to me-
And words from songs my mother sang
IN years that long are fled,
She left with me, before she joined
Ancestors who we're dead
And love Of crops thot give to US
their yellow gracious yields,
] got from some ancestors old
Who tended farms and fields
So now the soul and blood in me
Are Just living link
Thot's welded in my heart today
The while live and think
And gil thots fine and good and clean,
IN substance and in sum
Is part Of all who lived before

Let me lay these ghosts
right away. Gray hairs are
no guarantee Of wisdom.
Neither Is youthfulness q
guarantee Of proficiency and
up-to-date ability. 1t is true
that experience often comes
only with age. But "experi-
ence" is q much maligned
word. People use 1t loosely.
They say: MY doctor is
experienced" Just because he
has been in practice for many
years. But remember: One
observant, conscientious, stu
dious, doctor can learn more
from treating 100 pneumonia
patients than another can
from treating 1000 in a rou-
tine, perfunctory manner.
Experience brings wisdom in
the practice Of medicine only
to those who strive to gain
from their experience.
And how about the young
doctor with all the new

that the good older Doctor

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: We
are in q dilemma. Having
Just moved to q new city, our
choice Of a doctor has mar
rowed down to two. One has
been In practice only two or
three years; and the other
has been established in prac-
tice about 20 years.
The problem is this: Which
Of the two Is preferable? The
younger man with the latest
ideas and treatments? Or
the older man with the most
experienceP I hope you can
help. Thank you. Mr.. D.,

THERE is NO simple So
luton. So much depends
upon your own family's make
up as well as your doctors.
The doctors age and expert
ence aren't the only import

Michael struggled in the

arms were pressed to his sides
but he kicked with his legs and

The Jelly fish raised its long
arm out of the sea and snapped
