ASSOCIATION
Back Door To Socialized Medicine
Tn a strongly worded resolution, unanimously passed at
its recent convention in Akron, the Association of American
/Physicians and Surgeons urged medical schools to refuse Fed-
eral aid, on the grounds that it would open the back door
to socialized medicine.
The Association fully recognizes the need of more money
for medical schools in these days of high costs. But it believes
funds should be raised by campaigns among private sources.
There is certainly plenty of justification for the fear that
Federal financial support of medical schools could be the'
prelude to socialized medicine. Once the government gets a
financial stake in any enterprise, it tends to dominate it more
and more. The bureaucrats in charge are always exceedingly
zealous in advancing their own prerogatives and powers. And
he who holds the purse-strings is usually able to call the tune.
The Association of Physicians and Surgeons is combat-
ing socialized medicine for two specific reasons. First, it be-
lieves it would result inferior medical eare. Secondly, it would
have an exceedingly damaging effect on the national economy.
New Zealand, for instance, is now spending 40 per cent of
all government revenue on its socialized medicine scheme—and
it still has deficits, and it hasn’t been able to deliver all the
promised benefits. The resolution pointing to hte dangers in-
herent in Federal financial domination of medical schools is
exceedingly timely.

Odessa Banker Named President
West Texas Chamber Of Commerce
I
A West Texas banker and a
group of well-known business
men will direct the activities of
the West Texas Chamber of
Commerce for another year in
what has been declared the
most outstanding work program
in the history of the organiza-
tion.
John D. Mitchell, president
of the First National Bank of
Odessa, is the new president
of WTCC. He formerly was a
Lubbock banker and has been
active in West Texas financial
affairs for a number of years.
J. M. Willson, Floydada, own-
er of a dozen lurpberyards on
the plains, and a trustee of
SMU and McMurry College and
active in Boy Scout work, is
first vice president. B. P. Blud-
worth, outdoors advertising man
of Brownwood is second vice
president and Frank Kelley,
Colorado City oil land man, is
third vice president. Ed S. Stew-
art, Abilene candy manufactur-
er was elected treasurer.
D. A. Bandeen was reelected
to the general managership
where he has been for 20 years,
with a rising ovation to his long
leadership in West Texas ac-
tivities.
Principal activity of the org-
anization for the ensuing year
will be in its fight for protec-
tion of domestic water rights
and attempt to increase water
development in the area, ac-
cording to the convention pro-
gram.
At the annual meeting in
Abilene Monday, , the WTCC di-
rectors authorized the creation
of two strong groups. One is
a Municipal Water Rights Com-
mittee: which will be made up
of city officials in West Texas
towns needing additional do-
mestic water and to work for
protection of existing water
rights.
The other activity will be the
formation of the Soil Conserva-
tion Enactment Committee
which will be “composed of
representatives agriculturists,
county judges and mayors of
West Texas which committee
shall be charged with the re-
sponsibility of assisting in the
passage of the enabling act of
the 51st Legislature, and in
assisting the repective counties
of West Texas in securing the

Not Many Texans
Weather Forecasters
Not many Texans are weather
forecasters.
No one is sure what kind of
a winter we’re going to have
this year. It may be mild, and
then again the temperature may
drop way down. The bad weath-
er last winter was a little hard
on the roofs, flashings and
gutters, so right now, while the
weather’s still mild, is a good
time to check up on the con-
dition of the roof on your
house.
A little thought, a little work,
and a little spending now may
save a big repair bill later on,
says W. S. Allen, extension agri-
cultural buildings engineer of
Texas A. & M. College.
Your roof may need only an
inspection, and perhaps a few
repairs will put it in shape -to
face the winter wind, rain and
ice. The first step for the farm-
er to do is make a thorough
check of his own. But if con-
ditions are serious, he may need
to call in an expert carpenter
or builder for some advice.
After inspection’s over, clean
the roof and gutters of leaves,
papers, straw and dust. Make
plenty of room for the water.
And check the gutter supports
to see if they are in good con-
dition. There should be supports
every two and a half or three
feet, and it’s not a good idea to
have the gutters hanging right
up against the eaves. Inspect
the gutters and down spouts
for open joints or torn metal
So the water won’t seep through
and cause leaks inside the
house. Make sure nothing blocks
the free passage of water
through the elbows, and check
for bends and sags in gutters
and down spouts, says Allen.
Roofs of any type—shingle,
slate or tile—should be inspect-
ed for broken or loose pieces.
New pieces can be slipped in,
and it’s a good idea to do this
as soon as possible to avoid
leaks and further damage near-
by material.
It’s possible for metal roofs
and flashing to crack under the
force of contraction and ex-
pansion, so look for these de-
fects, too. '
Repair now before the bad
weather sets in so you won’t
have trouble during the winter
months, says Allen.

freedom of choice, freedom to think and worship according to our own beliefs.
