L think it's unfortunate that many
women with real writing talent bury it
under a mountain of dishes.
Actually, writing is one of the ideal
professions for women. You don't have
to 60 to an Office, you don't have to be
away with half your mind on your house.
hold :. wondering, if it rains. did you
close the windows? And for the woman
who is tied down to her home, writing
provides wonderful means of emotional
release and Self-expresSion. to say moth
ing of the extra income it can bring.
Why, then, don't more women write?
1t certainly can't be for lack of material
There are many things that only woman
can write about with the knowledge that
comes of firSthand experience.
Perhaps that's why = unlike many
other professions - the welcome mat is
really out for women in the writing field.
Here, we have something special to offer
= our own point of view. Take the best
seller, Please Don't Eat the Daisies. No
man could have written that book!
Don't say, 81 don't have time"
Saying you could write" if you had
time" is no excuse. The fact is that I've
had house to run for most of my life /
was lucky in that had some help with
the homework and the children, but
there are always the days off" and also
unexpected illnesses. | think I've spent

so different magazines and newspapers
including The Readers Digest, Christian
Science Monitor. True, RedboOk, Los
angeles Times, Washington Star, Better
Homes & Gardens, Parents Magazine
and many others.
Have you the urge to write? II so, get
busy! It's wonderful feeling to see your
own name in print. And that first check,
no matter what the size, is one of the big
thrills of lifetime.
But the greatest reward you'll get from
writing professionally is something much
less tangible . the feeling of commune
eating with your readers. If only one
sentence you write opens a door for one
other human being makes him see
with your eyes and understand with your
mind and heart, you'll gain a sense of
fulfillment that no other work in the
world can bring you.

more time in hospital waiting rooms than
almost anyone else.
Even without the responsibilities of a
home, starting my career wouldn't have
been easy. It's hard to learn to write well
enough to be published when you're
working all alone.
I've often wished that when was in
my twenties l had had access to profess
sional writer who would have been honest
with me. As it was. l learned through re-
jectionS and rewriting - the trial and er-
TOR method.
After l had become established, be-
gan to wonder if there wasn't an easier
way. Wouldn't beginning writers have a
better chance of making good, and serve
a shorter apprenticeship, if they could
get training in their own homes by we'll
known, successful writers?
A new kind of writing school
is born
Two years ago such an opportunity be-
came available - for the first time - to
people who want to write.
Twas invited to join with eleven other
authors to start the Famous Writers
School. Our aim was to help qualified
men and women develop their skill, talent
and craftsmanship E. and to pass on to
them our own secrets of achieving COM
mercial success and recognition.
We started by writing down all the

Writing Talent Test offered

Faith Baldwin and the other Famous Writ
ers have designed a revealing Talent Test
to help you determine if you could benefit
from professional training. The coupon will
bring you copy of the Test, along with
brochure describing the School, its courses
and teaching methods.
When you complete and return the Test,
it will be graded without charge by one of
the Schools instructors. If the results indi-
cate you have writing talent, you are then
eligible to enroll in the School. However,
you are under no obligation to do so.

techniqueS of successful writing that we'd
learned the hard way, and organizing
them into a set of textbooks and writing
assignments. Then we worked out a Sys-
tenn for giving every student, through
home-Study. the many hours of indivi-
dual guidance and criticism that every
developing writer needs.
We patterned our teaching methods
after those of our parent organization,
the Famous Artists Schools, which has
trained thousands of men and women
for successful art careers.
You are a class of one
Every instructor is a working profess
sional writer who has himself met and
solved the problem of writing for pub
LEGATION many times.
When you complete an assignment and
mail it to our School, one of these writer
instructors spends up to two hours ana
lying your work. He blue-pencils i'm
provements right on your manuscript,
just as my editors often do. Then he sends
it back to you with long letter of de-
tailed comment and specific recommen-
dationS on how to improve your writing.
The assignments are simple at the start
and gradually become more challenging.
You learn step-by-Step. After you get the
basic principles, you move on to more
specialized training in the field of your
choice: Fiction Writing, Non-Fiction
Writing, Advertising or Business Writing.
Because we twelve who started the
School have very definite ideas about the
teaching of writing, we regularly take
time out from our own work to visit the
School and confer with the instructors.
And we've recently found another way
to help the students. Our School now pub
fishes the Famous Writers Magazine, as
a showcase for student work. 1t also fea-
lures articles by the twelve of us who
started the School, by the instructors, and
by other writers and editors.

until the end of this year. Yet students

MIAMI
HANKS 10 two Miami doctors and unique
and unsung medical school, over 1900 ex-
Cuban physicians, 20 per cent Of the once
hOurishing medical profession of Cuba are
now helping relieve the doctor shortage in
almost every state Of the Union.
Key to the operation was the University
Of Havana School Of Medicine in Exile. Since
its founding three years ago, the Exile Uni
versity has held FIVE commandments, at each
Of which approximately 24O "retread" doc
tors were graduated.
Ninety per cent Of these Cuban new
corners successfully passed the American
Medical Qualifying Test. Every one Of them
Immediately landed job as a medical worker
or intern in hospitals and institutions, work
ing under the supervision Of an American
doctor. After becoming citizens they can
take up private practice or begin to fulfil the
remaining State requirements.
A scrmb-nurse SURGEON
The Miami doctOr-saving clinic went into
action on December ID, 1860. On the pre-
viOus day, DR.. Ralph Jones, then chairman
Of the University Of Miami's Department Of
Medicine, had made disturbing discovery:
at nearby Jackson Memorial the male scrub
nurse, probably the lowliest job in the hospi.
Galhierarchy, hadbeena distinguishedHav
surgeon - perhaps just as competent as the
men whose scalpels he was scrubbing He
turned out to be Professor Hector ROcomora,
director in happier days Of the Department
Of Obstetrics and CynecOlOgy Of the Uni
versity Of Havana Medical School.
Further checking that day spaded up 10
other distinguished ex-medical faculty men,
bers who were buried in mental or inapprO-
pirate hospital jobs in the Miami area.
Even worse, myriads of once-respected
specialists from Cuba were eking out bare
subsistence in Florida as bootblacks, bus
boys in resort hotels and dishwashers. One
noted Havana surgeon exercised his knowl-
edge Of anatomy at the job of cracking lob
sler shells in . seafOod restaurant.
BY 10 O'Clock that night, DR.. Jones, now
thoroughly upset, telephoned friend, DR..
Emil Tsxay, an internist on the faculty Of
the University Of Miami School Of Medicine.
Emil" he said, "a lot Of good Cuban
medical talent is going to waste in this town.

America needs them and they need us. How
would you like to develop program to get
these doctors back on their feet where they
can help US, and themselves - starting to-
morrow"
DR.. Taxay only hesitated moment.
The next day a wealthy friend pledged
$1,000 as the university's financial corner
stone. With that sum in the kitty, and an
inexhaustible endowment ofpure hope. Jones

and Taxay invited d.. Rocomora to hang up
his scrubbing-brush and, along with FIVE
other former University Of Havana faculty
members, to become visiting professor at
Miami's Aedgling university in exile.
The school is now stalled by 40 former
University Of Havana professors = practi-
Cally half the faculty Of that once-famed
medical academy. Their salaries come from
funds provided mostly by private groups and
corporations.
Loans fer q new life
The American Medical Association has
underwritten the project with donation Of
10000 for low-interest loans to help the
impoverished refugee doctors keep body and
soul together while training for their new
life Of service in America. Other donors
have included pharmaceutical companies,
private industries and professional organiza-
tions. The US. Government has contrib
uted approximately 10000 TO the univer-
sity's overall $4,000 budget thus far.

A year before filming started

fight some expensive battles.

each soldier for this was $500,
with an additional bonus for
those who caught fire
on the way through. In one

pole was set ablaZe with a
Magyar lookout atop it, sending
him topping in flames through
a palm matched roof. He was
paid $500 and proba bly,

settle for the visual appearance
of authenticity rather than

It was felt by some that perhaps the sewerage treatment plant should be known as the 18th al- ternate. It was agreed that the sewerage treatment plant would not be listed as an alternate and If the low bid proved excessive as a result - then the city is better off with no sewer system than with one which provides for no treatment of the waste. Lack of plant would force the city to pipe waste into the Snake River or into the ocean both of which proved distateful and completely out of the question to the Coun- Gil members. Much discussion was held over the fact that the Philleo firm had projected a cost figure for the treatment plant of Fl to 72 thousand dollars, accord ing to Councilman Doyle. They now kick around a figure of 123 thousand which was incomprehen- sible to the Council members.
