Practioner of the year. Few doctors practicing medicine today have or will see as many or as raaical changes in the practice of medicine as has Dr. John D. Rob inson of Wallace. N. C. Getting his - degree in the early days of his practice, he had to resort to a horse and buggy to take him on many calls during snowy and unus ually bad weather. In those days the roads were, what we would consider today, impossible. Dr. Robinson had to have a chauffer in order to have someone to help, change a tire or push out of a mud nuie. many times, his pair of sad dle horses were pressed into ser vice even in the late hours of the night. In the early days of his prac tice, it took a half day to make a call ten or fifteen miles away, es pecially if the weather was bad during the winter. In sharp contrast a short time ago, Dr. Robinson went by plane to New York to be with a patient who was undergoing sur gery there, in less time than it usei to take to make a call fifteen miles away. In every field of work, a progres sive person must keep abreast of the times. This Dr. Robinson has done and it is most gratifying to. him to see the prevalent diseases, of typhoid fever and diptheria that he was called to treat in those ear ly years of his practice, now under control with new drugs and treat ment.

Un less Congress takes some action, or something is done to protect tne local plywood industry many communities throughout the coun try such as, and including Ca lypso may find themselves all bat folded up. As usual the Elsen hower Administration for 'Big Business' is steadily marching av ion? its set pattern of putting the small man out of business and. turning our larger industries into the hands of a few. And along with this its agricultural pattern seems destined to do away with the small farmer. Thank good ness we have a Democratic eon trolled Congress, but it seems that this is not acting sufficiently to protect the small man. We see what the farm probram is doing to our section of the country. Now they come along with a pat tern that seems designed to do away with our small Industry.
