MARCH 8. 1949 Carteret County Hevs-Times " A Merger Of The Beaufort News (est. miS) & The Twin City Times (est. 1JK5B EDITORIAL PAGE National Health Insurance? It can't ho denied 1 li;:l I no pnysicul well-being of (he ma jority of our population sutlers because of inability to pay for medical care. Then again, there is a large segment of our popu lation which seeks and receives medical care whether they are able to pay for it or not. If the national health insurance plan which President Tru man proposes, works in actuality they way it docs on paper, doctors would receive pay for treating those who otherwise would have been charily patients, and no individual would suf fer or die before his lime because he fell he could not afford medical attention. Under the national health insurance plan, the worker would have a portion of his sal ry deducted for health insurance, the employer also paying a part of the assessment. Then in case of need of medical treatment, the patient would go to the doctor, receive a prescription perhaps, and go to the druugist to get the prescription filled. ?ot only would the doctor receive the fee sel by the govern ment for the treatment earn I h. I patient, Inil the druruiisl would also be governed as to Iioa much he could charge lor filling 'lie prescription. Leading -.pponents ol the national health in-urance plan are the doctors themselves, members ol the American Medical association, who object violently to the program as a whole, but specifically object to the portion of the program which stipulates that each doctor will tune a panel of patients, these patients having chosen him as their doctor. Information disseminated by the medical profession Males that once a person has chosen a doctor, hi' cannot change physicians, and that the doctor must accept the patients who choose him whether he wants to treat them or not. Oscar I!. Kuing, federal Socurily admini-lilnr. under whose jurisdiction administration ol the health program would fall, stales however, Ihal the proposed law "should give explicit guarantees to insured poi ons . . . their right In make a free choice . . of physician, dentist, hospital, etc.. and to make a change in tb.it choice . . . " lie continues further, the law should give eipially explicit guarantees to the members ol the professions who provide ser vices, including the right to participate in the plan or not, to act individually or in groups. ;o accept or reject patients who choose them, to retain control of professional aspects id' proles sional service ..." ' Kwing contends Ihal administration of the health insurance plan, if linked with Hie existing svslem ol old age insurance, could be carried out with a minimum of administrative personnel. Doctors, who declare that the plan degrades one of the world's highest and mosl respected professions, claim that reports which will have to be filled out, the numerous new government offices which will have In be opened throughout the country will mean that in five years "political medicine" would have at least a million more persons on the government payroll. .. .The American MedienKussocn t ion cites New Zealand as an example WbW soridlizodmejjicino has become a government burden, fh pons(t there aAVioi'Ms' 40 pVr cent of all revenues collected by the government and deficit finance has been resorted to in an attempt to furnish the benefits promised. Nationalization of medicine has been in effect in England for eleven months. Dental service estimated by the government to cost $28 million has cost instead $l(i() million and fitting of eye glasses, estimated to cost $8 million has cost $3(1 million. Government control of medical treatment strikes at the bed rock of free enterprise and our economic system. While on one hand, it is true thai nil of our people, not just the few who can afford it, should have adequate medical care, should we enter into a program which could eventually mean the sacrifice of free enterprise principles? The examples of Great P.rilain and New Zealand leave us apprehensive to say the leist. Dr. V. K. Hart, the member of North Carolina Medical society, has proposed a schedule of fees which would be charged by all physicians in (he state, ranging from treatment of a stye. $!), to correction of a curvature of the spine $150. Under his plan, normal delivery of a child and immediate poghnatal care would cost $!)0. With innovations such as this, proposed and advocated by the medical professions, the national health insurance program would become unnecessary as long as our present public health departments continue and improve their programs. Lost A Great Citizen Norlh Carolina has lost one of her most honored sons. With a brilliant political career still ahead of him, Joseph Melville Broughton, United States senator and former governor of our stale, was claimed by death Sunday morning in the nation's capital. Well-known in every corner of the stale, from the coast to the mountains and from Virginia to South Carolina, he was ad mired and respected even by his most fierce political opponents. His visits to the Carteret cn::st were not infrequent he holds the distinction of being the only governor ever to visit Cedar' Island. As wartime governor of North Carolina, from 1941 to 1945, he won respect of fellow southern governors and of the nation's high office holders. His advance to the United States Senate was only natural, a fitting tribute from the people he had served so well and in return an honor to us that we could be represented by so distinguished a figure. Thus has passed another Tar Heel great. We .can only hope that in coming generations there will be others like him. Jnst Plaster 'Em Anywhere Handbills and posters pasted to the sidewalks are a disgrace to the town. Posters plastered to sides of buildings and on billboards are bad enough,' but when town sidewalks are littered with signs, that's too much. We may as well take paper cups and other types of trash and glue it to the sidewalk if pasting of signs there is going to ; be permitted. ! If Beaufort has an ordinance against such advertising, it J ought to be enforced, and if it doesn't, such an ordinance ought :. to be enacted.

I With the consent of the board of commissioners of Carteret and Craven counties, C. P. Hancock of Cherry Point is seeking action of the general assembly for un en abling act to create a zoning dis trict in the Cherry Point area. Tortious of the area would lie within the two counties. The area starting at the south east corner of the Cherry Point Marine Air base would touch the north boundary of ttie town of Newport, following the A. & E. C. railroad and highway 70 to a point one mile north of the west prong of Slocum creek. The zoning commission, to con sist of five members, two each to be appointed by the commissioners of Carteret and Craven counties and one by the commanding offi cer of the Marine Air base. They would have the same power 83 to zoning as are given zoning com missions. Citizens would have the right of appeal from decisions of the zoning commission to tbe board of commissioners in their respective county depending upon the location of the property. Friends of Bill Trotman, Winston-Salem, who had plan ned to produce tho symphonic drama "Bla kbeard" at Camp Morehead last summer, but Thoughts for an open mind... There are individuals who are too firmly grounded in reality to be able to deceive themselvas. He who can judge his own trqits for their true worth has np delusions of grandeur about himself. To be able to laugh, without malice, at others one must first know how to laugh at himself. Social behavior is not a smoothly running machine, but a suc cession of conflicts and readjustments between individuals. Rewards are bestowed not only by man btt by life itself. ' Life bountiful and generous pays the wage we have the courage to demand.' Friendship is a gift, but also an acquirement. ' Jim Morrill PULSE FEELER - t intv.

Thirty years ago this month the officers and men of the Naval Air station at Camp Glenn were being shipped out to Norfolk.

Last Thursday night I was rid ing home with some friends on the causeway between Morehead and here and we saw a car stalled sev eral hundred feet ahead of us on the highway. A young , lady was standing in tbe road waving her hand. We stopped and she asked us to push her, we did, finally her car started and she went on her way. The funny thing about it is, that I saw her stalled that same morning at Ann and Moore streets right at the stop light. Somebody had to push her then. Seems to me she should have had her bat tery charged before dark. '.But that s a woman for you. Heard that the Rev. Bill Martin slept through the Rev.
