THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1951 Dr. J. Lee Young ■he death of Dr. J. Lee Young, Clinton has been called upon to give up another good man and highly re- garr'ed citizen whose name has long been identified with this community. Like his father, he spent his entire life here as a kind, sympathetic phy sician, an honored churchman, a man •who was respected and loved and ■who was dependable in all things. Tho‘e who knew him had faith in bin'. Dr. Young was one whom many ■wtre proud to call friend, and they will miss him as long as memory yet livts. God rest him. tv , A Red-Letter Event The appreciation dinner last Thursday evening for Dr. James W. Dav;.-, dean of the medical fraternity in 'his county and one of the oldest merr.cers of his profession, was an | enjovable occasion for the 200 men j and women gathered at the banquet: beard to pay a deserved tribute to| one .vho was horn in this community' 8! years ago, and who for the past 55 years has been a general practi- tioner. Here in a small community he dedicated his life for others and the ^ood he might do, the suffering he might relieve or prevent, and the cure? he might effect. The dinner was sponsored by the local Kiwanis club with its members and their wives, and a number of other friends of the community pres ent The occasion was of a highly dignified nature in keeping with the wishes of the honored guest. He would have it no other way. To add si to the pleasure of the evening, sev eral members of the wen known Da vis family were present, with those unable to attend sending their re grets and appreciation of the invita- ticr., The highlight of the occasion was the presence of four members of the graduating class of 1806 at the State Medical college of which Dr. Davis ■was a member. These physicians came to pay tribute to one they had known and loved since they matricu lated as young medical students more than half a century ago. Another special guest and speaker ! was Dr. W. L. Pressly of Due West, | former Family Doctor of the Year as designated by the American Medical Association in 1949, who paid tribute to the honor guest as a general prac titioner, citizen and churchman. Dr. Pressly deplored the passing of the "general practitioner,” but said that the American Medical Association is trying to swing the trend back the other way and is making progress. The age of specialization has tended to all but eliminate the old-time practitioner, he said. His remarks, were timely, as the large audience agreed. If and when we have social-' jzed medicine, which we oppose, and yet is likely to come—one of the con tributing factors will be the gradual disappearance of the small town doc tor due to the mad rush of young physicians to locate in cities and large areas for specializing, and i where free hospital facilities are j available and opportunity offered for larger service and greater remuner ation. We now recall a young phy sician, completing his training a few; years ago was urged by a number of j friends to locate here for the general practice of medicine. He declined, stating that he preferred to locate in a large city. That is what has been going on at an alarming rate in re cent years. This community is fortu nate that it has several conscientious physicians whose service is dedicat ed to the people of this/section. The ■ general practitioner exemplifies the finest traditions of the small town physician, and as Dr. 'Pressly states, there is an acute need for more men of this type to help make it possible lor small towns and rural communi ties to have adequate medical ser vice. As was expected. Dr. Davis, with characteristic modesty, had no part on the program and did not arise from his seat. He was touched by the heart-wanning tributes paid him, and knowing the man as we do—we know no one could be more appre ciative of the honor bestowed upon him than this quiet, unassuming gen tleman who has lived a hill and use ful life among a people he loves with his whole heart. The •‘Davis Day" dinner will long be remembered as an unusual “rad jcncr evmt* i Spending Running Mod Announcements we read almost daily call for recommendations from Washington for the additional spending of billions of dollars which must be paid by taxpayers. The committee on federal tax policy, a private organization, has called for a $10,000,000,000 cut in next year's federal budget in the face of proposals for still more spending. The spending disease is national, it has gone mad in Wash ington. back in the states, coun ties and municipalities in many in stances. which means that tax levies continue to climb upward. The committee recommending the drastic cut says it can be accom- plisned by prompt withdrawal of the federal government from the field of lending, a heavy reduction in federal works spending which should be stopped, drastic curtail ment of federal grants and sub sidies and an end to the federal purchase of commodities under the farm support program. This plan is in line with others— notably Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia, who has offered a detail ed program whereby the budget can be slashed by a comparable amount. In no case would the cuts affect the defense and armament effort. As a matter of fact, they would be of great service to the build-up of our military strength by releasing materials and man power which are now being ex pended in huge amounts on un necessary undertakings, notably housing projects which is no re sponsibility of government and taxpayers. And too, such a course, which our congressmen and sena tors almost entirely ignore—would ties which are a strong spur to more inflation trends, and high prices for the consumer public. We are being told repeatedly that the world situation makes it necessary that we accept heavy fi nancial sacrifices, through higher taxes. The crowd in power in Washington hasn’t the faintest conception of the meaning of the word sacrifice. The American peo ple are willing to pay to make the country secure. But this is a two- way street. The politicians must, as their part of the sacrifice, accept major retrenchment in nonesential government activities. So far most of them have been completely un willing to do that. The choice is not between guns and butter. It is between sound, economical govern ment and government which fol lows the example of the drunken sailor as we have been doing the past sixteen years. Why the American taxpayers take what they do “lying down"—is beyond us. We need a general uprising and house-cleaning.
