EDITORIAL
IMPORTANT PEOPLE
IN PERRY
You know who has the power
to protect and increase Perry’s
valuable tourist business? They
are people whose services we
home-folks sort of take for grant
ed and don’t appreciate enough.
Bernice B. McCuller, in her
column in Tom Gregory’s Eaton
ton Messenger, put her finger on
them the other day;
IDEA: “Towns and cities ought
to put their most charming people
into the cases and the filling sta
tions,” says a man I know.
“Those are the ones the tourists
meet, not the bankers, nor the
professors, nor the preachers, but
the people who run the eatiflg
places and the gas stations.
“And if those people are court
eous and kindly and intelligent—
as they often are—then the pass
ers-through have a warm-hearted
memory of that town, and they
want to come back.
“Every now and then, a town
ought to have an appreciation
service somewhere for those very
people because they do the town
the most service and the greatest
good.”
Our thanks to filling station,
case, motor court, drug store and
sales people of Perry. You are
doing important jobs for your
community and we appreciate it.
DOCTORS GETTING THEIR
AMA MORE “ON THE BALI.”
Right on the job in public re
lations for their profession, as
they are in medical service to
Houston countians, two of Perry’s
good doctors have furnished us
with information showing that
the American Medical Associa
tion is doing something about
meeting needs which will make
American medical service al
ready the best in the world
even better.
They were concerned about
Jack Tarver's Constitution col
umn which we reprinted last
week as an editorial, and in
which Tarver warned the doctors
that if they think the threat of
socialized medicine has been dis
pelled they are sadly mistaken.
He said the people’s desire for
adequate medical service for all
Americans at prices people can
afford to pay is stronger than
ever, and if the doctors’ profes
sional organizations do nothing to
help reach that goal, socialized*
medicine sooner or later is sure
to come.
The Constitution editor made
it plain that he did not want so
cialized medicine anymore than
the doctors do, or than we do, or
than any thinking citizen does.
Tarver was suggesting some very
practical ways the doctors should
combat it—far more effective
ways than the hoop-la “educa
tion” campaign for which the
doctors (and their patients) paid
some publicity slickers. Know
ing something about both press
agents and the public’s desire for
adequate medical service, we
think the Constitution editor's
warning is timely.
Action—Not Just Words
But we also agree with the
doctors that it would have been
fairer if he had also included 1
some of the steps that the AMA
and the Medical Society of Geor- |
gia have taken recently to meet
the very needs of which Tarver
wrote—the voluntary pre-pay
ment “Georgia Plan" for Medi
cal service and the creation of a
fund paid by doctors (and their
patients) to provide aid to the
medical schools and medical stu
dents.
The truth of the matter is that,
the great majority of individual
doctors, like all of those in Hous
ton county, have long been doing
far more to meet the increased
need for medical service than
have their national professional
organizations and the paid lobby
ists and press agents who have
been hired by the AMA officials.
The individual doctors are so
busy ministering to the acute
needs of the communities they
able in advance. Entered as
Second Class Matter at Post Of
-1 ice at Perry, Ga., under Act of
March 3, 1879.
COMMENT
serve that they do not have time
to make themselves experts in
public relations and legislative
procedures—much less in politics,
which th*oy rightly want to keep
out of medicine —and those to
whom they have entrusted these
important functions simply have
not done the job that needs to be
done.
There are signs that these pro
fessional organizations, at the
insistence of the great majority
of sincere doctors, are doing a
better job lately and we earnest
ly hope that it will be done well
enough to eliminate any possible
excuse for socialized medicine. In
the objective to keep politics out
of medical service, the doctors
should have the aggressive help
of every citizen.
TAKE-IT-EASY REMINDER
As if to emphasize our recent
editorial about huge trailer
trucks whipping through Perry
at dangerous speeds, Mayor Mayo
Davis’ car was almost bumped
recently by a truck making a
wide turn from Ball street into
Carroll, where the driver didn’t
quite measure his turning space
accurately enough.
We still appreciate our stra
tegic highway location, the val
uable truck traffic which means
so much to our economy, and the
fact that the drivers of these huge
vehicles are generally expert
drivers.
But we also still hope that
ways and means can be found to
remind them that speeding thru
the city is an invitation to acci
dents and disaster—and we are
sure they don’t want that to hap
pen any more than we do.
It would help us all—good
drivers and bad—to remember
that it CAN happen to us, as well
as to others.
