HOME COOKING
What America ne^ is old fashioned home cooking.
You know the kind we mean. Those big hearty country dishes
that simmered in an iron pot on a big stove for hours, and
that came to the table in a steaming aroma that made your
mouth water. Cooked slowly, you could distin^ish the taste
of eve^ ingredient so blended together that it made a de-
liclous whole.
Pressure cooking may be modem—but as a people we
resent it. We want to know what is cooking. We want to
see what is in the pot. We want to know what we are eating.
We don't want our vegetables and meat so mixed we can't
tell w<hich is which.
We are a beef stew country. And we want our stew
made just right Not one of those quick conglomerations
hastily thrown together—but a carefully blended dish with
due respect shown to the beef, and the onions, the carrots
and the potatoes. Any good cook knows the longer you sim*
mer it together, the better it is. In fact the old school holds
it should never be eaten until the second day I
Another analogy. We are mixed pickles—all ingredi
ents needed ai)d none better than any other. Each at its best
and each adding to the flavor.
You know, after all we have a right to be pretty proud
of our melting pot Our nation grew from transplanted stock
—-and like a fruit tree, the transplanting knd grafting have
worked to give better fruit.
This admixture of other bloods, this heterogeneity has
been our strength in the past. It will be our strength and
safeguard in the future. Not for us the deadly monotony of
“Uniformity:" The spice that adds zest and savor To the dish
comes from the mixing of the ingredients.

This does nqt imply thgt any one ingredient in our na
tional life must be more predominant over any other. This
does not mean that each ingredient must be separate and
apart-—cooked in compartments where the aroma cannot
blend. It does mean that the cooking of the national "stew"
must be a drawing from 'all ingredients of their finest, a
utilization of them so as to draw out their goodness and to
combine it so as to blend the flavor of each separate ingredi
ent into a harmonious whole.
We don't want formulas or short cuts. We want home
cooking not pressure cooking—and we are not afraid to set
up our national dish against that of any other nation!
SAVE THE BEST IN ALL
It is but natural that American doctors should oppose
Federal socialization of medicine. They have seen such
systems curb incentive and progress in the medical field in
other nations, and remove the personal relationship between
dpctor and patient, leaving in its stead an official system as
impersonal as medical examinations at Army induction cen
ters. If that's what this nation wants, socialized medicine
will fill the bill. But the people should remember that it
is not the doctor^ biit Mr. and: Mrs. John Jotrea who will be
the losers.
In seeking a practical method for.voluntary pre-payment
illnesses, the
of medical costs to meet prolonged or serious i
public should not be misled by alluring promises of -"free
medicine" at the hands of the state. There can, however,, be
the fullest cooperation between federal and local govern
ments, industry, the people and the medical profession, to
extend voluntary methods of^ health insurance without the
regimentation and compulsion that inevitably follows social
ized medicine.
Government can help solve such problems as malnutri-
tion, bad housing, ^nd the inadequacy of Federal,~3tate“and~
municipal health programs. One of the legitimate functions
of government is to seek w^s-end means to correct social
and economic conditions which cause disease, and which all
the health insurance in the world will not remedy.
Therefore, let us retain the great advantages of private
medicine but add td fHeih the benefits that will accrue from
the cooperation of government and industry in el^inating
causes of illness, as well as providing easy and economical
methods of paying for it. .
