MONDAY, APRIL. 15, 1935. PLATTSKOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE FIVE Lamb and New Bonnet Two Easter Traditions Xa::'-: ' 7 -jr OS. "-v - rz - rtt Leg o' Iamb and bonnet new, two Easter traditions. But leg o' lamb i3 not the only roast suitable for thi3 Sunday which Etands out above all other Sundays of the year. You can have as much fun selecting jour lamb roast a3 you do your Easter hat and there are almost a3 many styles from which to choose. "Be your family large or small, be your budget rigid or elastic, be the dinner stately or simple, there is a lamb rcast to meet your need," says Inez S. Yillsou, home economist. Spring vegetables rally valiantly to the cauce when planning you Easter menu around lamb; they seem to have a special affinity for thi3 delicately ; flavored meat. Fruit3, a3 an appe tizer, make an excellent beginning for the Eacter dinner, or you may punctuate the meal with a fruit salad, or finish with a flourish by serving a simple fruit dessert. In the menu suggested below any lamb rcast may be used instead of the leg and the menu may be added to or taken from to make the din ner more elaborate or simpler, a3 one wishes.

Louis Reese and Wilmer Wickham were over to Omaha early last week where they were looking after some road construction work, but the par ticular work which they were lock ing after need some trucks and the people wanting the work done insist ed on local drivers and as they did cot want to hire their trucks out to ether parties there was no trade made. Ilcmer H. Lawton of Murdock was hero early last week visiting with his mother and doing seme odd jobs about the place. L. R. Stanley was over to Lincoln last Friday where he was securing some goods for the , bring ing them in his truck. Attended Star Meeting. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Dorr who are members of the Order of Eastern Star at Elmwood, were among the guests of the Ashland lodge Monday even ing. There were many from Elm wood, some from Alvo and Murdock and many from Greenwood. A fine time wa3 had, including a banquet. Grading on the Beads. The grading from the Weeping Water-Elmwood road to the O street road has been about half completed, and as soon as it is completed and packed it will be graveled. All kinds of commtrciat print ing done promptly atthe Journal Army in Service to Battle Disease in the Nation Survey Shows That Hundred Arc En listed to Save Human Life From Disease. New York, N. Y. A standing army, roughly estimated at more than a million and a half persons, is en listed, directly or indirectly, in caring for the sick and preventing disease in the United States. This great force includes the skilled group of physicians and surgeons together with dentists, nurses, osteopaths, chiropractors, naturopaths and heal ers of various kinds. In its rank and file are pharmacists, drug clerk3, laboratory and clerical assistants, hospital workers and superintend ents, and medical social workers, a recently annexed group which has already contributed definitely to the healing art. Analysing this standing army, -statisticians cf one of the leading life insurance companies list 161,000 legally qualified physicians at its head. The statisticians state that the number of doctors per unit of population has been declining stead ily since the beginning of the cen tury, although the United States still has tho highest per capita propor tion of any country in the world. They report 125 physicians per 100, 000 inhabitants in 1930; 137 in 1920; 164 in 1910, and 173 in 1900. Thi3 decline is attributed to a stiffen ing of the qualifications demanded before a license to practice medicine is granted. The number of physicians in the country appears to be adequate. But the tendency of doctors to congre gate in the larger urban centers. which in many instances are prob ably overstaffed, leaves many rural areas suffering from an under-supply of physicians. j "One interesting phase of the prob lem of medical care," the statisti cians comment, "is the direct rela tion between the per capita income in different sections of the country and the concentration of physicians. As income increases, so, too, does the ratio cf physicians. In the South, with the lowest per capita income in 1929, there was the smallest number of physicians per. 100,000 population, namely, 100 per 100,000 in the East South Central states, 107 in the West South Central states, and 111 in the South Atlantic states. "On the other hand, the Pacific coa3t. New England and Middle At lantic states, with the greatest con centration of income had the largest ration of doctors, that is: 159 per 100,000 in the Pacific Coast states, 140 in New England, and 138 in the Middle Atlantic states." The ratio of trained nurses to population i3 reported as increasing rapidly from 16 per 100,000 in 1900 to 90 in 1910, 141 in 1920. and 240 in 1930 an increase of 1,400 per cent in 30 years. In 1930, 55 per cent of the graduate nurses were en gaged in private duty; 9 per cent in public health work and industrial medical service; and 36 per cent served in hospitals and clinics. Nurses also have a tendency to set tle in the larger communities, where wealth is greatest and hospitals most numerous. In addition, about 150, 000 women of all degrees of skill meet a real need in time cf sickness by acting as practical nurses. About 500 physiotherapists and 1, 400 clinical laboratory workers are also reported as serving physicians directly. To this number must be added 3,000 masseurs, some of whom work under doctors orders, while ethers do not. TheEe statistics are not as definite as could be desired, but the insur ance company's statisticians consid er these estimates as accurate as they could be made by the committee of the costs of medical care "after sev eral years of research. Dentistry, which ha3 become re cognized as an important form of medical service, has shown real pro gress since the beginning of the cen tury. In 1900 there were about 30, 000 dentists in the United States, or 39 to every 100,000 in the popula tion; in 1930 there were more than 70.000 dentists, or 58 to every 100, 000 persons. Dental assistants and attendants have increased from two per 100,000 in 1910, the first year the United States census listed this occupational group, to 11 in 1930, which is equivalent to 14,000 work ers. In addition the committee lists more than 2,000 oral hygienists, 10, 000 dental technicians, and 10,000 other dental assistants of various kinds. Among those providing a variety of health service, the 1930 census lists about 36,000 other practicion ers, or about one fourth the number of qualified physicians, classified as osteopaths, chiropractors and "heal ers." It also lists what may be term ed "secondary practicioners," such as 47,000 mid-wives, 5,000 chiro podists and 20,000 optometrists, who perform only certain specified serv ices. In the standing army must also be included a group of 570,000 people divided as follows: hospital superin tendents and personnel, 553,000; the other clinical attendants, 5,000; the health department workers, 11,500, and several thousand workers in pri vate health organizations. In 1931, there were also more than 200,000 people engaged in compound ing and dispensing medicines. These were divided into about 125,000 reg istered pharmacists, 17,000 assistant pharmacists, and 60,000 apprentice pharmacists. These, with the increasingly im portant group of 2,500 medical so cial workers, complete the enumer ation of the personnel engaged in providing health services for the peo ple of the United States. Commission to Send Men to Washington Nebraska Will Join Other States in Opposing Holding Bill in the United States Senate. The railway commission voted Fri day, Commissioner Bollcn dissenting, to send Commissioner Maupin and Attorney Vail to Washington to rep resent the interests cf the state in several important matters before i congress and the federal communi-j cations commission. I The two will attend the senate hearings on what i3 known as the holding company bill, and join the other forty-six states that have com missions in opposing various pro visions in the measure. "Public attention has been so gen erally centered on the bill," said Chairman Drake, "because of the holding company section, which is only one cf a number. The intent of the sections which we oppose i3 to remove from state commissions the regulation of public utilities and center it all in a gigantic bureau at Washington. Thi3 js not in the pub lic interest, and we propose to help all we can to defeat thi3 new effort to centralize power at the national capital." Over Bollen's objection the com mission voted to ask each party to the suit brought by Bollen against Auditor Price to halt the issuance of refund checks to farmers who paid excess corn inspection fees thru the commission to file their briefs with in the shortest possible time and ask for an advancement. The supreme court will cease hold ing sittings in June, and it i3 desir able that a speedy decision be ren dered, it is set out in the resolution adopted. It also recites that the leg islature has directed the commission to refund these excess fees; that Bol len sought and was denied in district court an injunction, but has appeal ed to the supreme court; that the matter is of great importance to the farmers, and that submission can be secured at June 3rd session cf at torneys will expedite filings. NORMS ALTERS HOLC BELL Washington. Without a record vote, the senate adopted an amend ment to the home owners lean bill to permit new applications by dis tressed home owners for mortgage loan3 for sixty days after enactment of the measure. The liberalization was added by Senator Norris to the house bill which increased the bond-issuing au thority of the Home Owners Loan corporation from 3 billions to $4, 750,000,000. Final passage of the bill went over until Friday. The senate previously had adopted 43 to 30 an amendment by Senator Russell barring employment of men who are officers or employes cf pri vate firms engaged in lending money on real estate. Any such men now on the HOLC payrolls would have to be dismissed within ninety, days. DANCED TO VIRGINIA REEL Reedsville, W. Va. The charming Virginia Reel, danced by courtly gentlemen and their ladies when America was jounger, is the favorite square dance figure of the first lady of the land. At the personal request of Mrs. Roosevelt, that tune was played by barn dance fiddlers while she danced with her homesteader friends at the Arthurdale subsistence project on an unannounced visit one week ago. It was all "off the record" so the home steaders said nothing about it until Mrs. Roosevelt fist described the dance at Washington Thursday. 200 Miiiion Rail Crossing Plan Outlined President Announces Friday Govern ment Will Snsh Money Out of Work Belief Fund. Washington, April 12. rrerldent Roosevelt announced Friday the fed eral government will rush a 200 mil lion dollar grade crossing elimin ation program out of the work relief fund. Pointing to the tragic death of 14 school children in a grade crossing accident at Rockville, Md., last night as convincing proof of the need of immediate measures, the president said this procedure would be follow ed: 1. The federal government will pay the entire cost of the projects, except for the land which must be purchased by the states or munici palities. 2. Only grade crossings on main line railroads will be included in the program. Eurden of Roads. The president said the work would be administered by the agriculture department's bureau of roads. Because the railroads have been abandoning many branch lines, the president said elimination cf grade crossings on nsytbing but main lines might be wasteful. He declared bus and branch line traffic on railroads unprofitable. Cites Importance. With the advent of high-speed, stream-lined trains on main lines, the necessity of grade crossing elim ination becomes increasingly import ant, the president said. He discussed the program with Un dersecretary of Agriculture Sugwell, who will direct the work. The president also took up with Robert Fechner, Civil Conservation Corps director, plans for enlisting 300.000 young men into that organ ization from the ranks of the unem ployed within two months. EXEMPTIONS ARE ATTACKED I'rcmont, iscd. uisirici juagei Frederick L. Spear, in a ruling hand ed down here, sharply criticized the state law exempting religious and charitable institutions from taxation. The decision was in an action of the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samari tan organization which operates a hospital and old people's home here. Judge Spear upheld its plea for tax exemption. At the same time, he criticized the philosophy behind the exemption statute, contending that in effect it compels taxpayers to contribute to support of charitable and religious institutions which they otherwise would ignore. NOT A C0JIMUXIST REGIME Mexico, D. F. Four months of un certainty as to whether the govern ment of President Cardenas planned to establish a communistic regime in Mexico were ended when he said "communism is not my doctrine nor the inspiration of my policies." At a time when strikes are sweeping the country, the president declared him self openly in favor of the strike as a weapon of the worker in obtaining social justice. But at the same time he predicted a rapid end of current difficulties and said under his gov ernment private enterprise "can count on full guarantees and secur ities." WHEAT VOTE SET MAY 25 Washington. Wheat growers will be given an opportunity by the AAA to vote on May 25 on continuance of the production adjustment program for 1936. 1937, 1938 and 1939. Ad justment contracts which growers signed in 1933 expire at the close of the present crop year. The farm administration said it proposed to continue the adjustment program along similar lines, calling for transfer of wheat lands to grass and pasture and reduction of the crop to domestic corumption plus whatever export outlets are avail able. HONEY IN TRUCK FEES Fall3 City, Neb. The sheriff's of fice has brought a total of $2,546.50 into the state's coffers as the result of the war against foreign trucks not adhering to Nebraska license laws, says Sheriff Irvin Gates. Most of the trucks have been from Mis souri and Kansas and fees in many instances have run as much as $200 and $250 per truck. Of the amount collected, 70 percent goes to this county. During the past sixty days, sixty-six foreign trucks have been held up until licenses were purchased.
