Berryville is a sleepy Shenan-
doah Valley town with three
barber shops, one undertaken,
two drug stores and 1,70O peo-
pie. The Opera House shows
only one movie a week, and the
towns best restaurant serves up
o uthern hospitality with
southern-fried chicken.
The tourist homes are not
very busy because Berryville is
the kind Of place that people
drive through on their way to
Winchester, the Charles Town
races, and the Skyline Drive.
Motorists slow down only when
they detect the tempting fire.
place aroma of burning oak
that kindles the night air along
Main street.
But there is revolution in
Berryville. and out in the open
at the right-minded corner of
Main and Church streets, Of all
places.
Leader Of the revolt is Eu-
gene v. White, a smiling 80
year-old pharmacist who looks
like a professional Sunday
School teacher. His cause is a
noble one: To eliminate every
evidence of merchandising
from the professional phar-
macy. He has already done this
with his own pharmacy.
In a two-story brick building
with black window shutters and
a green canvas awning shading
the colonial front entrance of
his place, Mr.. White has reali-
zed a dream that very few
pharmacists ever achieve.
Austere and Professional
Whites Pharmacy has no
soda fountain, candy, cigar
cites, greeting cards, comic
books, nail clippers, dog flea
sprays, cosmetics, stationery,
toys, camera equipment or bub-
BILE gum.
His pharmacy is austere but
dignified, and it conveys a pro-
fessional image of the phar-
macist. Some people unwit-
tingly remove their hats when
they come in," says Mr.. White.
Others ask what happened to
the drug store that used to be
here?"
To devote full time to his
profession he rem we'd all
traces of commercialism when
he remodeled his drug store in
1860. Everything was put under
cover, alphabetically, into $40
neat drawers and wooden
Schwartz units for liquids.
There are no displays. Even the
cash register is hidden.
There is soft FIN background

says the non-conformist Mr.
White. "A doctor doesn't have
to sell cheeseburgers. why
should a pharmacist"
In 1860, when Mr.. White
opened the drastic new phar-
macy, the local barber shops
rocked with laughter. However
1t appears he has proven that
the apothecary-type pharmacy
can exist with the wheeling
and-dealing super discount
drug centers. In fact, Mr.
White believes his type oil
pharmacy will dominate the
pharmacy scene by 1875
Others share his enthusiasm.

was a sideline. / asked myself
why?" He lasted five months
and felt he was learning more
about merchandising than hi:
chosen profession.
He firmly believes that phar-
macy is changing so rapidly
and becoming so complex that
the pharmacist must devote full
time to his profession in the
future. THE handwriting Is
on the wall for all to see," he
says.
Mr.. White adds that his pre-
scription volume has increased
to such a point that it offsets
any loss of the commercial
items discontinued.

NEW YORK K Special -
"Forsake me not in my old
age"
Responding to this tradi-
tional Jewish invocation, the
Workmen's Circle, Jewish
fraternal and cultural organ
ization, is now embarking on
a nation wide campaign in
support of President Ken
nedy's proposed bill to give
Senior" citizens health in
surance through the Social
Security system.
The health insurance bill
is expected to be one of the
most controversial during
the coming session of Con
greSS.
The Workmen'S Circle
campaign, given the green
light at a meeting of the or
ganiZation's National Board
of Directors in New York,
will get un d er way at a
series of conferences in ma
jor cities during the latter
part of January.
The principal conference
will take place in New York
City where over 500 dele
gates-representing branches
in the New York metropoli-
tan area with a combined
membership of $4,000 - will
gather to hear a prominent
member of President Ken
nedy'S administration, and to
organize for action.
I'VE hope to have at least
one million post cards and
letters written to Congress
men, to organize visits to
Washington to muster Con-
gressional support for the
bill, and generally to arouse
community awareness of the
necessity for health insur-
ance for the elderly" Israel
Breslow, president of the
Workmen'S Circle told its
national board.
