A Doctor's Experience in England
We cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of main-
taining the American way of life and of returning to it , where
we have strayed away.
It may help us in a post-mortem sort of way to learn the
story of a young British doctor, who served during the war in
the Royal Air Force and later took up practice in England. He
has now moved to this country, settled in California , and taken
out his first citizenship papers, intending to transfer the practice
of his profession from England here. According to the laws of
California , he must first satisfy the requirement of taking a
year of internship. After that he will be free to follow a medical
career.
Giving as the reason for his escape from the socialized medi-
cal system in England, that it was physically impossible to be a
good doctor, he went on to relate his experience, which he said
is typical in the medical profession today in England.
He was treating some 3200 patients, under the panel system,
and the government had assigned him a quota of 4000. There
were days when he saw 20 patients in an hour at the office, and
one day he made 36 house calls.
Commenting on this, the Portland Oregonian said editorial-
ly, "Obviously, there was not time for careful diagnosis, though
many patients had very minor ailments , and some were hypo-
chondriacs encouraged by 'free medicine'—that is, tax-supported
care—to make unnecessary calls. There was no time for research
and study. The young doctor knew that his work was not up to
recognized medical standards in this country."
The good sense of the American people has been shown in
their rejection, through Congress, of a compulsory government
medical insurance plan, proposed for this country. It does no
harm, however, for us to hear stories like the above, to pack
down even tighter, if it be necessary, our convictions on free
enterprise.

Hooks and papers for- children 's entertainment ha-
Changed so much within the past years, especially since moyi
and comic pictures in all tho papers have become almost II ""
vcrsal. Ideas of what is funny also changes with the ^
J"" ]
nnd generations. tt l
1 found two little paper s—The
Myrtle, published In Boston, July
1, 18G8, and a copy of the Youth's
Companion of August 12, 1869. The
Youth's Companion had 8 pages
and many ads; the Myrtle, 4 pages
and no ads.
The picture end heading on the
Myrtle was an angel watering the
earth with a watering can, evident-
ly no water system there then, ex-
cept from Heaven, or else It was
out of order, The heading was :
"Instead of the Briar shall come up
the Myrtle Tree". I know nothing
about the Myrtle tree, maybe that
needs a lot of water, but briars and
weeds will grow and flourish ,
water or no water, so In these days
there Is no knowing what will
come up. Terms BOc a year, payable
in advance. Evidently the minimum
wage was not 75c cents an hour
then. It had never been even dls-.
cussed.
The first article is headed :
"Writing" and begins thus—"The
arts ot writing and printing are
among the most valuable, and a
knowledge of writing is needful to
every man, woman and child." It
goes on to say, "It'B a great blesB-
Ing—the absent are blessed by let-
ters from home; people at home
receive letters from loved oneB,
etc."
"Write to me very often
Write to me very soon;
Letters to me are sweeter
Than the roses are in June."
A story about Good and Bad
Apples. — No matter whether you
put good apples In with bad ones or
bad apples in with good ones, they
all come out bad. Everything seems
to follow the road to destruction
from human beings to apples.
There's one about Perseverance
that had to do with a littl e fellow
untying a knot. "A Child Reproved
by a Bird."—Well, we hear about
bird talks now, but none of them
has spoken audibly to me although
they have ways to make you un-
derstand what they want when it
comes to food or a bath,
Another was headed : "Never
Fight". How about that to outlaw
war? Another was "Lame and
Lazy"—A Fable. Why always put
lame and lazy together? Lazy
folks are seldom lame, If they were
they would have a good excuse lor
being Indolent. I couldn't name all
the articles, but one other was
"One Drap at a Time"—a rival of
Maxwell House Coffee—wonder if
it was good to the last drop? "Idle
Words", "Echoes" "Pelliklah". In
case you don't know, Pelliklah was
a kitten. Glad to see something a
child might like. There were two
short poems, "The Working Man"
and "The Difference". That's the
gist of it. Do you think any of
these topics would Interest a child
today, or ever?
A boy had a chance to make a
wish. He said , he wished he had a
rain cord and a snow cord , so if
he pulled the rain cord it would
ran, and if he pulled the snow cord
it would snow. He was ahead of the
times. Can it be possible these
fellows who go up In airplanes to-
day trying to make it rain or snow
are descendants of that little kid?
Now take a look at "The Youth's
Companion". That paper used to be
very popular; the No. 1 paper for
the youth of America. It was $1.50
a year, strictly in advance. The
first story covered a page or more.
It was Jack Tar's yarn about a boy.
There was a lot more about a boy
that he would find out in time.
Then came "Otk Head", that was a
. continued story, so I never C0UJ
know how that came out , una »
far as I am concerned , I jUBt ,, '
care. "Sowing and Reaping" «s
ing Through a Book". The „T/(
must have been the discoverer „,'
the x-ray, but forgot to tell imv
body in time to get the credit Dl
plomacy and Its Facts, that would
do for some of us to study today
Here's one that must have been 0f
great interest to a child— "COM
Applications." Well, maybe better
than a spanking. "No Mischief i„
Malay Boys"—great, no dellnquen
, cy there. "Tim Mulligan's Wife"
made headlines, "A Kite Flies a
Boy". He had a good grip, but ft
would have been better for him It
he had let go sooner, There was
more, but this will suffice,
Then books- are advertised, The
Dotty Dimples Series, and 01her
Optics* Stories, etc. Seth Arnold'j
Balsam and Perry Davis' Pain Kil-
ler were the things you needed
then, they cured everything. Vita-
mins must have gone under some
other name for they were not sup-
posed to be on every table for the
whole family to depend on.
I ¦will lust mention a few sur
"Slow horses made fast; fast
horses made faster "; Boys—A
chance for fun and fortune—Secret
art of catching fish In any water
as fast as you can pull them out
and no humbug "—no humbug eh?
Ad—How to train anlmalB. No end
to the things you can find out
from this little paper—A Puzzle
Department.
Can a man Bee without eyes?
"Sure he tan see with one eye,"
said a bright boy. There are too
many interesting story hooks and
amusing movies and other attrac-
tions to interest children now for
them to even read about "Turning
the other cheek," after they get
one slap or to be warned—never
to fight. Boys hate to be called
Sissies at certain ages, they like
to fight.
I can see how Mother GOOBB
Rhymes hold their interest year
after year, even grownups do not
forget them. "I like little Pussy,
her coat is so warm";"Baa, Bao,
Black Sheep, have you any wool?";
"Little Boy Blue"; "Robia Red
Breast" and "Rock-a-bye Baby on
the Tree Top" and
The King was in the parlor count-

A Letter From Aunt Jane
To Her City Relations
Town of Barnstable
Cape Cod
September 22 , 1949
Dear Theodosla:
From time to time I've told you
stories about birds, and now I've
found a story about a wise mother
robin. The only thing is, it isn't
renlly a bird story. But it does
show how important birds are, be-
cause n robin is used as an ox-
ample for people to follow. This
story will also show you that I do
read serious things sometimes.
Before 1 tell It to you, I might
say that I met my bird friend the
otiier day and she covered her
face with her hand and said she
hadn't sent me any bird stories
recently, because they were all
sad. She had plenty of stories, but
they were not cheerful , so she
didn't pass them on to me. Per-
haps it is just as ell.
Now, for my story, I was reading
the Congressional Record from
Washington and I found quoted an
editorial from a middle-West news-
paper.
The Idea was that the United
States must encourage western
Europe to fend for herself as soon
as possible, nnd that the time must
come for her to do this, even If It
takes a little scolding and shoving.
And we should know just when
and how to apply this treatment,
To illustrnte his statement , the
author of the editorial described a
mother robin 's treatment of her
young, and this is what he said :
"Wanted: a wise mother robin.
Did you ever watch a mother rob-
in teach her young to fly ? They
sit with their mouths open nnd
screech for food from the safety
of their nest. And she coldly routs
them out. They flutter screaming
to the ground. When she alights
to see how they 're doing they cud-
dle up to her and she flogs and
scolds them away. She makes them
fly and she makes them become
self-dependent. Otherwise they
would sit In their nest with mouths
open for food until they starved,
or fall out to be devoured by a cat.
"The mother robin seems to
know when nnd how to make the
break to teach self reliance In her
young."
There are probably quite a few
things that birds might teach
humans.
Your loving,
Aunt Jane

were brought and a check of $42
was presented to Allan F. Jones by
Alphonse for the Cape Cod Hospi-
tal Baby Formula Room.
How proud little Alphonse was
to get all that money. The next day

bies to be born."
