The Btory: We eloped, we found
an apartment and decorated it
ourselves and now Jon is ready
te face the world as a young doc
tor. There’s one thing yet to be
found and that's a practice, . but
John says this will be easy. Mrs.
A. is pleased with a doctor’s ser
vices, so she tells Mrs. B, who
tells Mrs. C. and so on. But moth
er has asked, “Where is Mrs. A?”

It was Oct. 1, and a full blooded
fall day. Everything was ready
and waiting for our nonexistent
practice: The foyer was brightly
lit and invitingly empty. The
office was white and shining and
fully equipped. Those beautiful
name shingles had been polished
and hung only that very morn
ing, and the smaller name plates
hlti been carefully inserted in
each front window. Even our
announcements had been mailed
three days before, so that the
whole world, meaning the perti
nent part that we knew, would be
fully informed of our location,
office hours, and readiness to
serve.
Law school had begun for me
the week before, and our routine
was methiculously planned. Al
though I left early every morning,
I was to return at 12 to be able
to help John in the office. This
aid included my services as secre
tary-nurse (not that I knew any
thing about either,) and front
door receptionist (a big smile and
a kind hello), which I felt sure

Why Pay More- "’;;s@:}2s&2’2’!’s‘,‘.’ ot g
o e
Why Take Less! | ZS22EE SIBO9
What means most to you in a motor car? Beauty? Roominess?
Performance? Comfort?
Whatever your fi'ardstick of automobile value is, you’ll find that
Pontiac offers all you hope for—and more! Because here, in “The
Most Beautiful Thing on Wheels”, is America’s outstanding buy, a
car that dollar for dollar and feature for feature brings you to ouly
one conclusion—it’s needless to pay more, it’s disappointing to take less,
Your Pontiac dealer stands ready to prove it with a demonstration,
I could easily handle. But all
that happened when I hurried
home, was that John and I sat
around eating swiss cheese sand
wiches and looking forlornly out
of the kitchen window.
i “Woulldn"t‘ ttfou j think,” 1 said
longingly, at just one person
miggt fall break a leg or%bme‘,-
thing with you right here and
wating?” -
Darling!” This time he was ob
viously shocked.
“Oh, I'm not wishing anyone
any harm,” I protested, “but stat
istics do show that such things do
happen all the time, so all I
want is to haye one of them hap
pen here. See?”
Gradually, however, it was
borne in upon us that opening an
office was not quite like opening a
grocery or a shoe store, where
passers-by might notice -the new
shop and casually stop for a can of
beer or a pair of slippers.
“If we could only get that first
patient to break the ice,” I said
one night.

After one long, uneventful
week, the only important consid
eration left for office hours was
the problem of trying to decide
whether to keep the foyer lights
on and all ‘doors closed before
the bell rang, or to wait until
someone came. Economy won, of
course, and even John took to
leaving off his starched white coat
because it only got dirty without
being used.
But the week after our “open
ing,” while we were eating lunch
(and for the first time, I realize
why I hate swiss choose now), the
bell rang.
“ A patient!”
We went into immediate action,
like rookie firemen responding to
an alarm. John raced for his
white coat, that symbol of profes
sional .authority, and hid at his
‘ibatttle station in the office while
I flew about closing all the foyer
Idoors, putti~g on the lights, and
slowing down only at the front
| vestibule where I caught my
breath, opened the door gently and
with my brightest smile said my
oft-re-hearsed “ Good afternoon.”
There stood a tired-looking wo
man in her middle forties.
“Is .the doctor in?” she asked,
and I could have kissed her sour
face with joy.
“Of course,” I said, trying not
to seem too eager. “Won't you
come in?”
At this point, John appeared

from the office, wearing a properly
dignified air. Although we had
carefully discussed the idea of
letting every patient sit in the
waiting room for at least two min
utes so as to create the proper
psychological effect, a proceedure
highly recommended by a pro
minent medical magazine, it was
obvious John had forgotten. In his
enthusiasm, he ignored the cue,
and quickly said, “You're next,”
as he led the woman inside.
“Next to what?” I giggled si
lently .as. I walked into the treat
ment room and began to set up the
équipment for the examination the
way John had shown me. I could
hear Joha starting to take the
woman’s case history in his most
professional manner.
“You name, please?” he asked.
“Helga Schultz,” said the wom
an nerviously.
“Age?” That was next on the
card, I knew.
“Forty-four,” was the reluctant
reply.
“What previous-illness have you
had?”
“Measles,” she said, “and check
en pox, as a child of course, and
pneumonia last year in the hos
pital.”
John grunted pontifically. There
is something about any doctor’s
bedside manner that always
amuses me: short doctors, fat
doctors, tall doctors, skinny doc
tors, give them a patient, and sure
enough each man will produce,
with his own individual variations
naturally, the proper mixture cf
wisdom, doecorum, omniscience,
omnipotence, and condescension.
Now as I listened, he said: ‘Oh,
yes, one further question before
I examine you: What sort of work
do you do and what is your trou
ble now?”
l Helga, who until now had
i seemed puzzled rathér than
| pleased with the whole affair,
spoke up with great joy, “Ach”,
| she said -eagerly, “no trouble now.
I do anything you like: I ceok, I
clean, anything you want.”
Like a well-placed time bomb,
| the explosion went off. Didn’t
the hospital :all you?” she asked
innocently. The social service
department sent me over. They
said you had just opened your
office and might need a house
worker to help you out.”

Mrs. Talmadge Criticizes World
Government; Praises Legislature
Mrs. Julius. Talmadge, honor=-
ary president general of Daugh
ters of American Revolution, in a
speech before Elijah Clarke Chap
ter, D. A. R., last Friday praised
the Georgia Legislature for re=
scinding the 1946 resolution sup=-
porting World Government. :
Mrs. Talmadge said if the Leg
islature had done nothing else
but rescind the World Govern
ment resolution its existence
\fwould have been “fully justi
ied.”
Excerpts from Mrs. Talmadge’s
speech follow: '
“The 1949 D. A. R. Congress
passed a resolution, declaring it
self unreservedly in favor of a
WORLD ORGANIZATION of
free nations, such as is being de
veloped under the Charter of the
United - Nations, and to urge our
members to inform themselves on
the vital - difference between
World Organization and World
Governnrent.
“To Reach World Cooperation
there are two avenues of ap
proach—on the one hand through
WORLD ORGANIZATION devel
oped under the Charter of the
United Nations, signed by the 51
nations at the International Con
ference in San Francisco, and
later approved by the United
States Senate, and the other
through World Government,
which means a Super World Em=-
pire, with a World President, un
der a World Constitution.
“Proposals that America join a
world government, actually are
suggestions that we ABOLISH
THE UNITED STATES OF AM
ERICA! Among g -variety of ex
treme internationalist organiza
tions enlisted in this scheme, the
principal leaders are United
World Federalists, and Union
Now, and each has prepared pam=
phlets outlining its ideas of how
\x;nrld government should oper
ate.
“One of these, issued by the
World Federalists, says, ‘World
law shall be enforced DIRECTLY
UPON INDIVIDUALS.” That
means the American people would
give up their right to MAKE
THEIR OWN LAWS. They would
obey laws made for them by
FOREIGN POLITICIANS who
do not understand, and have no
regard for our American ideals of
INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY.
Foreign Peliticians
“The World Federalists booklet
says: ‘The world federal govern
raent should have authority to
raise dependable revenue under a
DIRECT TAXING POWER IN
DEPENDENT OF = NATIONAL
TAXATION. That means foreign
politicians envious of Anrerican
prosperity and unshakably con
vinced that America is possessed
of unlimited wealth, would de
cide how MUCH TAXES WE
AMERICANS SHOULD PAY
without even having to CON
SULT our OWN Government in
the matter. =
“If you imagine we would not
pay ‘the BULK of the taxes to
support a world government, con
sider "the fact that we are AL
READY paying the biilk of the
cost of the United Nations.
“The World i'ederalists pro
gram continues: ‘Such a world
government should possess pro
visions PROHIBITING POSSES
SIONS BY ANY NATION OF
ARMAMENT AND FORCES BE
YOND AN APPROVED LEVEL
REQUIRED FOR ITS INTERNAL
POLICING, and it adds that
there would be ‘armed forces as
may be necessary to ENFORCE
WORLD LAW. America, that is—
would strip itself of all power of
self defense and would be there
after at the mercy of a well
trained international mercenary
force, responsible to whatever
clique of European politicians
gained control of the world 60\1-»
ernment—quite possibly a COM
MUNISTIC clique, and certain]%
at the very least a SOCIALIS
clique, since virtually all Europe
is either Communist or Socialist.
“On top of all this, a proposal
to make Amrerica’s ruination final
and . complete, is*put forward by
UNION NOW. Its pamphlet says:
‘The Union of World Government
would take over the GOLD RE
SERVES of member nations, and
their currencies and present NA
TIONAL DEBT obligations.’
THAT means, the gold hoard at
Fort Knox would be seized by the
European politicians in charge of
the world government and spent
by them for the enrichment of
their own countries and them
selves. It means also, that they
could, and of course, would, can~
cel any debts owing to the United
States by other nations, thus
CONFISCATING the billions of
dollars the people of America
have lent abroad.
Stripped of Power
“Clearly, then, if the United
States joined a world state, our
Government would be stripped of
ALL its essential powers. It
would cease to BE a government.
The United States would CEASE
TO EXIST AS A FREE NATION
and the American people, their
divinely inspired Constitution
abrogated and desiroyed, WOULD
LOSE THEIR PRECIOUS LIB
ERTIES AND BECOME SLAVES
OF A WORLD SUPER-STATE
FOUNDED ON THE SOCIALIST
TOTALITARIAN PHILOSOPHY
