Do I sound prejudicedp
Perhaps I am. But this Is
my answer to those who'd
like to be doctors but are
not sure. If they're willing
to work and make sacrifices,
medicine offers the best an
swer to what life Is all about.
SOME BOUNCE back
quickly after an illness, while
others complain for weeks or
months. For example, take
q dozen persons suffering
from the flu. Nine or 10
might be knocked out for q
week after they're up, and
then be all right. But an
other two or three might
continue to complain for
weeks Of feeling weak and
having a variety of pains.
The doctor examines them
and can't find q physical rea-
son why they don't feel as
well as the others.
Recent studies have shown
that people who are easily
depressed are the ones who
take q long time to recover

example Of emotions having

This week. there are 2 mill
lion pleasure boats in the wa
ter. They are in every bay,
river, gulf. estuary, lake and
sea around the United States.
BY tomorrow noon, they win
be buzzing, bouncing, tack
! ing, trimming, roaring, rae
ing, cruising, catapulting,
smoking, sinking, flaming,
becalme ID, on sand bars,
towed, dead, out Of control,
and at least one skipper will
throw out the anchor, for
getting to tie the line to the
boat.
Boating is billion dollar
business. It is big, getting
bigger. There is only one
thing wrong with it: Boating
attracts idiots. It attracted
this idiot years ago. In gen.
eral, the United States Coast
Guard has charge Of the IL
censing Of boats around the
coastal waters Of America.
However, they have neither
the men nor the boats to do
the job.
TO DRIVE A CAR you
need a license. To get the
license, you must pass a test.
To run q boat, you need
nothing except the boat.
There are no tests for the
pilot, unless he Is q profess
sional and he has paying
passengers. The coastal wa
tiers are full Of DRINKS pilot
ing boats at top speed.
No one except q parent can
stop an ignorant boy from
killing himself and his
friends in q boat. There is
no white traffic line in q
channel. No summons for
speeding.
Late last spring, I picked
up my 35-foot boat in Point
Pleasant. There was q morn
ing fog and I moved her

Deficit Seen Inevitable
The highway fund deficit
could be $34 million by fiscal

not adopted, according to the
financial report.
One reason for the bleak
outlook for the highway fund
is that the District will use up
the last of a $50 million bor-
rowing authorization in fiscal
1865.
The District Democratic

The Districts highway fund,
which now has a surplus, could
be $51 million in the red by
fiscal 1869 if present road con-
struction plans are carried out,
a Highway Department finan-
cial report shows.
This forecast. released yes
terday, is based on the assump-
ton that the highway fund
would be charged for IS per
cent of police salaries to help
pay for costs of regulating
traffic in Washington This
charge is now made against
the hard-pressed District gen.
eral fund.
1t also assumes that a sur
plus of $3.3 million in the mo-
tor vehicle parking fund ac-
count would be made available
for highway construction on a
one-shot basis next fiscal year
Swap of Funds Involved
Walter N. Tobriner, president
of the District Board of Com
missioners, has said that he
is considering proposing charg-
ing the highway fund $3.2 mil
lion for the police traffic ex-
penses next fiscal year.
Mr.. Tobriner has said that
the highway fund could then
be compensated by giving it
the $3.3 million in the motor
vehicle parking fund.
The Highway Department
would apparently not suffer
under this arrangement, but
Highway Department officials
are wary of it because the sur
plus in the parking fund ac-
