Practically every organization in town sponsored a dance last; night, or will have one tonight Most of the larger places pre- sented professional entertainers for the enjoyment of the guests, dance teams, singers, and special orchestras, and from what your reporter can learn today, dancing and merrymaking went on until very early this morning. Home parties, though they broke up a little earlier than the public affairs, were nevertheless gay. Gallons of eggnog, syllabub and other refreshments were con- sumed, and the number of New Year greetings exchanged runs into a staggering figure. The main thing is that socicty , managed to enjoy itself, despite the cool breezes. { Today and tonight there will be any number of New Year par- | ES Events Of Importance To Take Place Locally Coming Week Several events of importance have already been announced for this coming week On Monday there will be held the Silver Tea sponsored by the Woman's Auxiliary of St. Paul's Church.

Many people had members of their family visiting them for the: holid and a large number of winter residents arrived during this time, to resume their social activities here. Some of the highlights of the Christmas celebrations were the dances that were given for col- lege students home for the holi- days. These were all charming affairs. Every organization had _ its special Christmas parties for chil- dren and adults, and many groups were active in projects to supply entertainment and gifts and all needy persons.

The appalling waste and poor organization, in- ; Sofar as the medical set up of the ;Sovernment is concerned, has been long suspected but never before disclosed. The Hoover Commission points out . that the Veterans Administration, the Army, Navy, Air Force and Public Health. Service are mak- ing several competitive demands | upon our medical resources with expensive duplication of hosp- pitals and failure to utilize medi- ;cal talent to the best advantage. {The Hoover “atsk force” offers ample detail to indicate that the waste involved exists in fact as well as in theory. In New York, for example, four different Federal agencies j maintain hospitals with capacity ; for 8257 patients, although 3133 1of these beds are in temporary structures. When the survey was | made those hospitals had only 5330 patients.

Perhaps the height of absurdity is reach- ted in the Navy’s new $14,800,000 cancer hospital now under con- struction. Surely cancer is not peculiarly a naval disease. Since } a cancer patient requiring deep radiation therapy can rarely be of further military value, as the ‘task force points out, the Navy seems to be inexcusably invading \the general field of hospital { treatment. These facts cry out for unifica- tion of medical facilities operated by the government. The and the Veterans Admin may fight against any inte ence with their costly and was' ful separate hospital systems, but in the opinion of the task force the «national interest points directly toward one national health agency. As a matter of fact, the top medical officers of the Army and the Navy both said this morning that they did not favor the merging of their medi- cal operations with those of gov- ernment agencies. However, it is a rare person who, in either military or civilian life, would be in favar of a proposal which little, if any, regard for what i " ys i at would cut down their own power other agencies are doing. The or scope of authority. We fully fact alone is sufficient to indicate agree with the opinion of the task force. It will be difficult, of course, to bring together hospital systems created by different agencies and operated according to varying rules and _ traditions. Yet that difficulty is minor com- i pared to the waste of the present system. 4 H The National Bureau of Health suggested to the Hoover Commis- sion by the task force would be- come a major division of the proposed department of health, education and security. It would include a medical .¢€ division in charge of Federal hospita public health division which would give much greater em- phasis to preventive measures, and a research and _ training division. National health prob- lems would thus come under the centralized supervision of one specialist with immediate access to the Cabinet. The effect should be to give a great stimulus to Federal interest and activity in the sphere of public health as well as to minimize waste.
