Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RAVW Best Doctors for Veterans Is Promise of General Bradley 1pHE old home town is the end of the road for the soldier who has come back to be a civilian, and his rehabilitation depends largely on jhow the home folks treat him'. That, jin substance, is the view of Lt. Gen. ,Omar N. Bradley, head of the Veterans administration. When he addressed the 27th annual convention of the American Legion in Chicago recently, General Bradley pointed out that America had to make good on her promise to veterans. Until they have been re- -j stored to health and are back on 'their jobs, the war is not ended. After World War I we saw the banners of welcome fade, General Bradley recalled. But if the home folks do their part, he envisioned a youth, with future national Americas enterprising and the ex-G.I- .s, imag-ativ- e as its bulwark. The veteran is not a problem, but we can make him one, General Bradley told the Legion delegates, as he outlined jobs. and community attitude as two factors in reman of habilitating the World War II. Whether he is shown gratitude or is ignored will make the difference. General Bradley asked Legion support and community support for six major objectives in legislaadmin-istratioex-servi- ce tion sought by the Veterans He listed them as: 1.

General Bradley wants enough hospitals, fully staffed, to give the veterans the best care available, equal to any the rich can buy. Also, he' wants the hospitals located near medical centers where doctors and specialists can be found, not in places that will not attract competent personneL He would locate hospitals, especially smaller ones, right at the veterans door, for emergency cases. The administration may take over some of the 60 U. S. army hospitals now declared excess. General Bradley stated, but he pointed out that 'most of them are of temporary conf, are at struction, are not isolated camps far from medical centers, and should be used only as stop-gapin the program. The general considers the building 'of proper hospitals as a part of the cost of winning the war, just as guns and planes were part of the cost. Also, these hospitals should be located where the veteran needs them, and not where some community wants a hospital built! There are four million veterans of World War I who are eligible for veterans hospitalization, and to this may be added another 15 million from World War II who are returning home at the rate of about a million a month. Thus, the Veterans administration is faced with the job of providing adequate hospital facilities for 19 million veterans. And weve got only two years to do it, General Bradley declared.

Daffynition of a Kiss. i fire-proo- s By GABRIELLE DETECTOR OF CARBON MONOXIDE A simple bulb and -- tube device -- Go West, Girls, if Y ou Want a Husband! In the West there are more men than women, but in the East the girls are in the majority. Also, there are 104 men per 100 girls in small towns as against 96 in the city. These latest figures were compiled by Dr. Clifford A. Adams, director of the marriage counseling service at Pennsylvania State college, who draws the natural conclusion that women desiring husbands should go West. Based on the fact that most girls marry between the ages of 20 and 25, and that most men marry between 23 and 28, Dr. Adams has compiled data on how many single men there are for every hundred girls, throughout the 48 states. Leading the states is Nevada with 177 men for every hundred girls; Wyoming is second with 165; Idaho 131; California 128. The remaining states came out as which can be carried under the arm placed first in AAF board tests to find the best method of detecting carbon monoxide in aircraft.

It was then that Ed W. Harvey, the district manager, who declared he couldnt afford to lose the Grant manager, got busy. asked all employees Harvey throughout the territory to look for a house suitable for a family. The hunt ended at Keystone, 26 miles from Grant, where a house, 34 by 54 feet, was found. Harvey said he would move it. Confining moving operations to the hours between midnight and morning, the job took three nights. Two tractors provided the power and Plummer Brothers of Ogallala, moving contractors, supervised the move. Complications included a detour below Keystone dam, necessitating the climbing of a long, steep hill. Guard rails along the highway had to be removed to permit the house to pass.

But what about this ranging for material 1,000 to 2,000 miles away, scouring the country for prep school or high school stars in a hot competitive race where many are only given courses they can handle without risking any brain collapse? This, said the veteran coach, isnt right. Players in the main who draw scholarships or help should be taken from nearby places. But how are you going to stop the alumni from cutting in? Or certain colleges who have smart but recruiting systems that look after the job? I like to see southern teams made up of southern players, eastern teams of eastern players and western teams of western players. But I dont see hqw you are going to stop it.
