Dr. J. F. Robertson, president of the North Carolina Medi cal society, in his talk to the county medical society recently, spoke out against "socialized medicine," voicing, in essence, the opinion of the majority of private practice physicians in the coun try. Dr. Robertson prophesied that under the federal' administra tion's proposed plan to provide medical care for every citizen in the United States the cost to the government would be, fifteen billion dollars annually. He said that socialized medicine would tend to lower doctors' standards in the profession, and would de stroy the prevailing personal, interest the physician has in his patients. Dr. Robertson's attack is one of many beint; made against the government's medical servicefor-all program, the main of fensive being taken by the American Medical association. The various points of this attack are not without merit. To support their views, physicians point to New Zealand where so cialized medicine has been in effect seven years and has not ma terialized into the ideal situation its proponents at first predicted. Government-administered medical programs, in general, are set up on the basic principles of deduction of cost of medical service from weekly wages and a list of pnlients which each doc tor is responsible for serving. Under the original plan in effect in New Zealand (which has gone through several revisions), transfer of patients from the list of one doctor to that of another, was possible, but restricted. The chief drathark of the plan, according to the New Zea land p tients. is its failure Id provide for the crippling expenses of major sirgery. "The benefits the average patient gets in re turn for his lii-avy tax payment are limited to routine treatment from his doctor," says the Medical Economics msgazine. "hos pitalization in an overcrowded public institution, and free pills from his pharmacist." Doctors rro alarmed, but they, as a whole, have waited too long to lake action that wr.ubl have by passed this interference by the government. A he:llhy nation is one in which not only the fortunate few can receive medical attention. That is what has been generally true in this country and the government sees now that action must be taken to provide care for HI. Through increased appropriations by gcvernments, federal and slate, to properly cdministrated public health departments located in various municipalities or the county seat of every state, this medical dtenlion could have been provided to lower income groups. But private physicians, until very recent years when most have suffered from overwerk, frowned upon public health work, accusing it of usurpation of patients who could af ford to pay for doctors' services. Dr. Robertson's comments ;t the medical society meeting were corollary to the request of the state health officer, Dr. J. W. Roy .Norton; who also sffiJkc, and PpIntet ar the'Tieed for North Carolina increasing thev ouirtVtlaioney "allotted in the state budget for public health!"""" A Bit Chilly Today The man with the white whiskers, this time we mean Mr. Winter, blew such a lusty blast of snow and ice over New York that some of it has probably traveled as far as here. That's the only way we can account for the change in weather that should breed the kind of Christnus spirit we read about where the drifts are deep and there is travel through woods by sleigh. There's no denying it, snappy, frosty weather if not snow is needed for Christmas. Maybe because such simple things then can make us happy, a warm stove indoors after a walk in the cold, red noses on old folks and rosy cheeks on youngsters bring a smile to our face, and there's a hustle and bustle among every one outdoors. No more casual strolling from store to store, but a brisk walk and just as brisk, but cherry, greetings to friends. Who knows, maybe this year we will have snow. Our Good Old Days columnist tells us that in 1943 there, were 8 inches of it about this itimc. Wonder if it's time for an encore! ti V Thoughts for an open mind... Life his hidden a charm in difficult undertakings which is ap preciated only by those who dare to grapple with them. There is one virtue which no man or woman in the world should neglect to cultivate. It is graciousncss. He who is false to present duty breaks a thread in the loom and will find the flaw when he may have forgotten its cause. Altogether, the different kinds of living creatures, plant and ani . mal, that live or have lived on our planet total well over 5, 000,000. How were this vast number brought into existence? ! Two answers are suggested. According to the idea of spec ial creation, each one of these millions of plants and animals was created suddenly and completely at some time in the history of the world, each by a special supernatural act. The alternative Idea is that one kind of creature can change into another kind, this Is evolution. What do YOU think? Jim Morrill.

I Had the smog victims from Pennsylvania who visited Wil mington some two weeks ago Members of the fire department have entered into the Spirit of the Christmas season by arranging a most elaborate and striking effect in the decorating of the front of the truck building adjoining the City Hall. No one member of the department claims all the glory of this work but Duffy Guthrie say "it is the combined efforts of the department." At the top of the building is a long panel with small colored lights outlining the words, "JOY TO THE WORLD." Festoons of wires with colored bulbs of assort ed shades descend from the top of the building while on the edge of the roof is a large chimney with old Santy coming forth. On the grass plot an illuminated tree adds to the attractiveness of the decora tions. Much credit is due the boys for this display. Weather permitting, the pouring of the cement roof on the new building to house the plant of the NEWS-TIMES will be completed this week. This cement root will be 3 inches in thickness and to our knowledge is the first cement roof to be put on a building in this city.
