War brings many hidden weaknesses to the public This ia no excuse for war, but it is likewise no for these hidden weaknesses which afflict manOne of these problems is that of physical fitness, war always emphasizes. The record of draftees over the nation shows 32 percent of Uncle Sam's potential soldiers are unable to pass the physical tests required for entrance into the army. The cause is most generally placed in the category of slight defects in babies and children which have liccn neglected and could have lieen corrected, but, since these defects were allowed to go unattended the cumulative effects become a major health handicap. This report, coming from the Army examiners, in an unthrows the search light on oar medical get-u-p knows a for what manner, glorious everyone prejudiced service our medical men have done and are doing in their field both at home and in the National emergency. ' The focus of this search light centers upon Preventive medicine and dentistry. People need instruction on the basic laws of nutrition. Children in every family need constant checking for "little things which become big problems later in life, such as tonsils, adenoids, teeth, and signs of malnutrition. Neglected, these slight defects become serious menaces to health and happiness later in life, causing also tremendous loss in earning power, and a serious handicap in the aggregate to the economic life of the nation. The only answer to this threat to our private and national welfare lies in cooperative medicine. This does not mean state medicine the very opposite in Tact; Cooperative medical care already has been proven a great boon to the families belonging to the Cooperative health to the doctors who unit as well as a financial have been willing to cooperate. Even now in Utah county two attempts are being made to carry out some such a cooperative health unit. First, in actual operation, is the Farm Security Health program which is now working in several counties in Utah. While this has accomplished much toward corrective measures, it almost entirely lacks the preventive features which mark a true cooperative. Under it the family members are given medical care, with emergency operations included, for a yearly fee of $30 paid by each family. Each doctor gets his fees from the pooled fund in proportion ta the services he renders. No attempt is made to give preventive medical care. The family members get service when they need it, or ask for it, however, which is a tremendous advance over the present lack of any medical care from which thouso ands of people are now suffering. Only the and the very poor are getting medical care. The masses of wage earners, farmers, clerks, and professional people cannot afford the luxury. Only in emergencies do they risk their economic standing by calling in a doctor. The second attempt is a true cooperative, the Sharon Health Society, organized in Orem, and incorporated unlaws of the state of Utah. This has it der the all the machinery necessary to carry on a real program of preventive medicine in Utah county, and is the only one of its kind in Utah organized independently by the cooperating families, without government assistance. But it 1b unused and almost forgotten because the medical society refuses to cooperate. There are several reasons why this refusal still stands as a barrier, but the major reason is simply that neither the people nor the doctors understand the real nature of cooperative health. Most of them brand it as a step toward "state medicine, and let it go at that. The fact is that cooperative health is the antithesis of state medicine", and is about the only thing which can ward off or prevent state medicine from eventually being foisted gaze.. excuse kind. which . of every citizen in Provo the coming week for the to assist in raising $3,000 during purpose of providing funds for the entertainment of our soldiers in training, declared Judge Abe W.

We do not usually make predictions, but here is one of which wc feel certain after reading the report of our Draftees physical tpsts: America is going to do something about its health problems, and, unless the doctors and the people get together and work out a real cooperative health society which can and will solve these health problems, the government is going to be forced to establish state medicine, despite the opposition of our good friends, the doctors.
