Doctors Face The 8upreme Tost
"The physician* of the United States
face u task of historic Importance,"
said Surgeon General Thomas Parran
rocontly.
"This Is total war; the civilian Is
at the front with the soldier. Civilian
health und strength are as essential
to vletory us the medical cure of our
urmed forces. Complete cooperation on
the part of tnedlcnl men throughout
the country Is the first requirement.
By full use of every qualified doctor's
ability, I am confident the Amurlean
medical profession again will
meet effectively the supremo test.
Public health takes on a new urgency.
Heretofore wo have sought health
primarily for Its value to the Individual.
Now we must attain It for the
nation's security."
The fact thut many thousands of
doctors ure being called Into military
service moans that all remaining doctors
must work harder. All our medical
facilities must be .employed with
maximum effectiveness. And no one
who knows the history of American
medicine doubts that thlB will bo
done. We havo had "prlvato enterprise"
In the field of medicine, precisely
as we havo had It In all other
fields of endeavor. Under that system,
every doctor can go as far as
his abilities and energies permit. He
isn't regimented and stultified, as
are doctors whore socialized medicine
exists. He Isn't a pawn of politicians.
And hero In America, medical progress
has been nothing short of astounding.
A long list of once-dread
bacterial killers havo been brought ,
under control.- Such scourges us tuberculosis
are being gradually conquered.
And wo Amoricans live healthier,
longer, happier lives.
War, as Dr. Parran salcL^brlngs
the "supreme test" to the men of
medicine. They are ready for that
test. It Is to them a challengo which
will result In new and greater
achievement. And all the nation will
reap the benefits.
There are eight Islands In the Hawaiian
group: Hawaii, Kahoolawo,
Kauai, Lanla, Maul. Molokal, Niihau,
and Oahu. There are several rocky
Islets In the group not recognized as ,
islands.
Foreign Stocks Sell
Higher Than Ours
Hpeclal to The Chronicle
New York City, May 8.?Without
commenting upon Individual Issues,
It certainly seems to me that the
stock market as a whole la In a buy
lug gone. Naturally, In view of condltlouH,
tho market hua been very
eniltlve for some months with the
emphasis of movement ou the downaide.
This has beeu occasioned
mainly by domestic Industrial upheavala,
the uncertainty of the tax and
profits situation, and bad news from
the war ureas.
Positions of Foreign Markets '
Considering all that Great Britain
has been through and particularly
with the Germuns sitting only 20
miles away from the British Isles, one
would naturally expect a badly acting
I.ondon market. Stocks on the
London Exchange have, however.
Mteadily advanced In the face of falling
New York prices. This Is flkowlso
true In Frunco, Hollund and Oermuuy.
Ever since the war started,
common slocks have advanced in the
countries most affected.
All of theso nations have proportionately
larger debts than tho United
Htutos. The have suffered grout
amounts of property damage. Their
tax laws are far more drastic than
ours. The regulations and restrictions
under which their people work,
out and live muko our price celllugs,
priority rules, and food controls seem
like child's pluy. Yet In the face of
conditions far worse than any which
huvo yet touched our own couutry,
foreign stocks have advanced while
tho bulk of our own securities have
conslstenly moved downward.
Inflation The Answer
Any historical study of Inflation
such us occurred both during and after
the last war shows that the time
ultimately comes when people prefer
to own real property and good stocks
rather than bonds and cash. Inflationary
forces are steadily at work
here, but they are further advanced
In the countries previously mentioned.
We see In our increasing national
debt, in tho scarcity of cortsumer
goods, and in rising prices only the
first effects of lunation.
Investors of other nations are
ahead of our own group in realizing
that cash is no longer the form In
which to protect one's capital. Not
o here as witnessed by a lurgo amount
of money now in circulation. Its total
far exceeds any that this country
has previously known. Much of this
money Is held by foreigners who fled
Europe. Their fears have been communicated
to our own people. As a
result, safe deposit boxes are at a
premium in moat banks. As I have
said before, hoarding serves no useful
purpose.
Opportunities For Profits
If the American Investor la to combat
successfully rising prices and rising
taxes, he must have more Income
and Increase his capital from which
his Income Is derived. In terms of
our pre-war dollar of 1989, a dollar
bill today, on the basis of wholesale
prices. Is worth seventy-six cents.
Hence. It is advisable that these dollars
should be put to work. I do not
mean they should be used to buy personal
and household goods for hoarding
purposes. Itather,. dollars should
t)e used (remember that compound
interest still functions) in legitimate
investment channels.
Certain real estate Is O. K. War
Savings Honda and Stamps are a
"must" in every investment portfolio.
However, successful real estate commitments
are the exception rather
ythan the rule and no real estate has
the marketability of good common
stocks. Bonds are approaching an
all.time high and, except In Instances
of certain discount issues, should perhaps
not be considered at this time.
Thus, we are left with stocks as offering
now the best opportunities
.for profit and income with which
to offset the declining purchasing
power of the dollar.
Don't follow The Crowd
Most of my associates and friends
are terribly bearish. They talk as
though the country was going to the
dogs. Conditions may get worse before
they start to Improve?but what
of It? The recent Laval business
struck a sour note and off goes the
Dowe-Jones averages. If the Germans
get the French fleet?wham ? they
may go-off some more! Perhaps the
market has not as yet discounted
all the bad news. If not, so much the |
better. The lower stocks go up, the j
more attractive they are and tho |
higher their yields. Furthermore, the,
the worse the war gets, the quicker
it will be over.
I never made a dime following the
crowd. When they sell I buy. From
the action of the market in recent
months some drastic liquidation has
been going on. This is a "buy" sign
to me. Lack of volume in trading
is another favorable indicator. Quiet
market days are good ones in which
to pick up a few shares. I'd no more
buy in a boiling market than I would
sail out of Gloucester in a heavy
storm. Considering the prospects for
some real Inflation and the high surplus
of cash. awaiting investmeig, a
little encouragement is all the market
| needs to show some real strength.
Investors who put cash into common
stocks should profit In the end. They
will also perform a real service in
easlhg the ultimate effects of a postwar
boom through their being in a
j position to get out rather than to get

Wateree Bridge
Formally Opened
(Continued from first page)
ing of same meant to this area and
particularly to U. S. highway No. 1.
Representing Governor Jefferles,
Adjutant General Dozier was the chief
speaker and stressed the value of
the bridge not only as a matter of
Improved civilian needs but also as
a war measure, particularly for the
fast traveling between Fort Jackson
and Fort Bragg.
Following the cutting of the ribbon,
the official party was taken
under escort of city and highway
police to the Sarsfleld club where a
steak dinner was served.
The old bridge with its winding
wooden approaches is to be torn
down immediately,, according to the
highway department. The steel sections
probably will be cut by torches
and the steel disposed of to the government
for defense uses.
Coincldentally, Friday's opening of the
new bridge follows exactly a quarter
of a century the building of the
structure which has been in use since
1919. Because of the first world war,
construction work on the Wateree
river bridge was delayed and it was
not until 1919 that the bridge was
placed in commission.
A bond issue of $100,000 was floated
at the time to construct this bridge.
Today, the county paid off the $100,000
bond issue completely. Next week
the process of tearing down that
bridge will be started by the state.
