WANT SOCIALIZED: MEDICINE f rs . | Representative Arthur Miller of Ne- ‘ :. braska- once. said: “In every ‘country where | *’ faseism, naziism or. socialism ‘ prevails, | ! there is socialized medicine.” # That truth is -certainly not a coinci- »« dence. In the super-state, whatever name it goes under, the dietators in power must control every phase of national and indi- . vidual life.. Medicine—in all its many fa- cets—naturally falls within their scope. To the collectivist mind, free enterprise in medicine is every bit as repugnant as free industry or free labor or free agriculture. And the fact that socialized medicine is ~ inevitably inferior, that it destroys the in- dividual’s freedom of choice in seeking medical ¢are, and that it subjects doctors, nurses and scientists to the whim of power- “hungry bureaucrats, is of no significance whatever. As long ago as 1930, Damitri “ Manuiliski, then secretary of the Com- “munist International, asserted: “In the United States... , the communists must * launch a powerful movement for social in- surance. They must place themselves at the head of this movement and lead it to “victory.” And socialized’ mediciie, of “course, has top. priority in the kind of | *“social insurance” program the commun- ‘ists have in mind. Some good Americans, who abhor communism and fascism, have been taken ‘in by the clever work of the socialized | medicine proponents. But, judging by the “public opinion polls and other evidence, athe American people as a whole seem to . have no desire to entrust the standards of medical care to the politicians. ‘ GAMBLERS GENERALLY LOSE y Do you want to die in one of the most’ horrible manners possible? It’s an easy trick. Just take chances with fire and, sooner or later, your number will come up. More than 10,000. Americans roast that way each year. Thousands more are disfigured. for life. Fire is an extremely ‘ efficient killer and maimer. » The ways to take chances are legion, Smoking in bed is one of the “best. So is doing home cleaning “with inflammable liquids. So is starting fires with kerosene and gaseline. So is ‘carelessness with illuminating gas. 2 In addition, all the usual home haz- ards ate responsible for their share of “deaths. Faulty electrical wiring and equip- ment; closets, attics and basements full of | sand for hatching, REPRODUCTION Had the Everglades National Park been established half a century ago, prob- ably green, loggerhead and hawksbill turtle would still be plentiful in the waters of the Florida Keys. But the turtle did not have a chance to increase in numbers, for not only were thousands of them turned on the beaches at Cape Sable, included in the park, but tens of thousands of their eggs were dug up, after they had been deposited in the i Uy > It was a-matter of burningjthe candle | at both'ends'' toward the.-tuiddle. Live turtle were caught and the potential life of turtle, as represented in the eggs, was destroyed. The onslaught finally wiped out green turtle, hawksbills and loggerheads to that extent where seeing one of them now in local waters is a rare thing, though before the turn of the century there were thousands of them in the waters of South Florida. Possibly, and it is little more than a possibility, with the Cape Sable beach now under the control of wardens of the De- partment of the Interior, turtle may in- erease in the waters in this area. At least if any are left, their eggs will be given the opportunity to hatch out if they are deposited in the beach sands of the Ever- glades National Park area. Pegging and netting turtle did not eliminate them in the waters. hereabouts. While some turtle with eggs were caught in that way, yet their number was not sufficient to praetically end their exist- in this area. That condition was brought about because the turtle were not given a chance to reproduce. Beaches were searched for their eggs—it was easy for an expert eye to discover places where turtle had laid their eggs—, and repro- duction was stopped. Without reproduc- tion, all life would end. There is no faith in God without equal faith in man. Nearly everybody wants to'help west- ern Europe by using American food and money. WHAT WILL THE DOLLAR BUY? It seems to be universally believed that the principal labor organizations will de- mand new and substantial wage increases early next year. The steady rise in the cost of living may justify this. But, at the same time, the rank and file of labor as well as the union leaders should give serious thought to what continued wage boosts without any improvement in worker productivity will mean. The worker’s real interest is not mere- ly in how many dollars his pay envelope contains. It is, instead, in how much food, clothing, housing and everything else those dollars will buy. In Germany, after the first war, labor received billions of marks a day. But those billions of marks wouldn’t buy enough to keep a family alive. That is always the result of un- bridled inflation. One of the reasons for high commod- ity prices is that the wave of wage in- creases which followed the last war was not accompanied by more output per man. In many key industries, output has been below the 1941 level. In other words, the emphasis has been on more pay for less work. That is a suicidal doctrine, and carried to the utimate conclusion will cause complete deterioration of the pur- chasing power of the dollar and economic chaos on a grand scale. A few top labor leaders have em- phasized these facts lately, and have told their memberships that greater produc- tion is essential if the living standards of the country are to be protected. It all comes back to the fact that we can’t get something for nothing—we must pay for everything in one fashion or another. La- bor, like any other group, must earn its keep. paper and other junk; overloaded and im- properly maintained heating stoves and furnaces—these are all dependable kill- ers, and in addition they are responsible for the destruction of tens of millions of dollars worth of property each year. Fire is rolling merrily along in the United States now. The total loss is at an all-time high and it is increasing. There seems to be no end of carelessness and indifference. This may keep the fire de- partments on their toes—but, unfortun- ately, there’s a limit to what the best of them ean do. Take a chance with fire—maybe you'll be lucky. And maybe not! tf THE KEY WEST CITIZEN iriciirivtrs Radio Programs NETWORK PROGRAMS ‘Time Is eastern standard.
