H5ao ?r Talk My JOHN B KEMBEBT, ML D. Since the days of World War U we have all beard much about tha four freedom the freedom EQ of worship, the freedom of speech, the freedom from foar, and the freedom from want. These free doa? we all accept aa basic dem ocratic principle* and rightly *o. Now, la this year IBM. the Ameri can physician, and we hope the majority of people of our nation, must insist upon a Fifth Freedom, 11m Freedom of Choice. Perhape moat an familiar with | the happenings in the past decade ft that have brought about the need for this fifth freedom. But. for E| thoee not so informed, a little re view of past events is in order. Since the end of the war and the popular vogue of being "ultra lib eral" has been a fashion, the pri vate practicing physician of Am erica is experiencing more and more threats to the continuance of his work ss a private individual tending' to the medical cares of those choosing to seek his assis tance. These "ultra liberals" or third parties have become more and more involved in the business of providing medics! and hospital care in competition to the private practice of medicine. In the beginning their health and welfare programs began as a aimple "insurance" program, but more recently the programs have taken on responsibilities formerly assumed by their members. Now many of these groups demand that they have the right and are exercising the right of selecting the hospitals and physicians for their members without regard for the individual's own personal wishes. Private physicians and organiz ed mediciae across America ha* not opposed the* health and wel fare program*, but they are now geninuely concerned ever the way many are beiaf operated. Recently leaden ot organised labor*! medical programs have de ckled upon a campaign to replace "oM-faehioaed" democratic prin ciple* such a* free choice of phy sician and fee-for-eervlee with the mure "modem" or "ultra liberal" concept of closed medical panels and direct -ear* lee programs. The union leeders now feel that since unions pay the bills they have a right to pas* on the quality of medical c are provided their mem bers, forgetting entirely that the individual laborer and his union dues make the union possible. This recent concept proposed by the leader* of union health and wel fare programs overlooks one im portant fact ? the Individual. They have completely forgotten the in divldaul and the protection and the guarantee of his rights. To these labor leaders the PI- AN now comes first ? the Individual and personal Judgement are no longer the first comideratlons. The ultimate in "liberallam" ha* recently been decided upon by the uniona-individual union mem ber* muit be educated on the ad vantages of, among other thing*, giving up their right to choose their own doctors. The "ultra liberals" have there fore decided that the individual man is not capable of poaaeesing the fifth freedom ? the freedom of choice ? so it must be eliminated.

Roller Skating Rink Is Newest Diversion Boone's newest diversion is roller skating, and according to a spokesman for the new rink it is proving a popular one among the youngsters and the more agile adults. "If this Interest is main tained", the rink operator said, "we plan a new permanent rink here very soon. We already have teveral permanent rinks in the piedmont, and would like to add Boone to our year round opera tions." The operating firm is "Roller Land, Inc.", a corporation with its home offices at Princeton, N. C. The firm operates rinks at El kin and' King in addition to one in its home location. The^Boone rink features all-new skating shoes for rent; a special Floor where children may learn to ?kate, isolated from the fast skat ing of teenagers and adults. Its m^agement stresses close super vision of its floor, and insists up on proper conduct, the operator laid. A Learn-To-Skatc-Weck is now in progress, and from 7:00 to 9:00 p.~m. each evening offers free in struction for the benefit of those who wish to learn to skate. The Boone rink is considered one of the largest in the state, and occupies much of the floor space of its warehouse location in the city-owned tobacco warehouse op posite the bus atation. SPENDS TIME AT ROCK Connie Oberlin of Maitland, Fla., flew in with the John Abbotts to spend the week at their home on Gay fountain, Blowing Rock. ? 9 Sleep Is A Good Beauty Treatment Sleep if the best beauty treat ment of all. Lack of sleep over a long period can drag a person down to poor health both mentally and phyiucally. Doctors are even using lofi periods of artificially induced sleep to cure some tyjJfes of mental disorders. ? There is no cream you can buy that will erase the lines put into your face by constantly not getting enough rest. This is often a prob lem to young mothers. The best advice in the world is to let some housework go undone and take a nap during the day with your baby. Don't fool yourself into think ing that you will be able to cover those circles with makeup. At first this will be possible. However, af ter a#vhile you will look like a hag, even under a ton of makeup. One of the quickest ways to lose your mental poise and outward appearance is to couple late hoiirs with over indulgence in alcohol and cigarettes. Alcohol has a ten dency to dry the skin ancPthus make a perfect breeding place for wrinkles. Smoking is bad for the circi^tion and health in general. Anything that has a detrimental effect on health will help to de stroy your good loks. The best rule to live by is mod eration. Get enough rest, enough nourishing food and exercise. You will be rewarded by a long and vigorous life. Ethiopians see prospect of Iron Curtain aid.
