He made me promise not to use his name because he was afraid he might be blacklisted by the foundation which pays his salary. I began by asking him to sketch in his pre-research career. “The usual 10-year grind,” he said. “Four years of college, four more at medical school, a year as intern, and a year in residency train ing.” “What made you go into research?” Billy Rose “Like a lot of young doctors,” he said, “I couldn’t get used to sitting by while a patient died simply because I didn’t know any thing else I could do for him. Every time I looked up into the eyes of relatives gathered around the bed of a man in the last stages of cancer, I told myself that my job wasn’t to go on using the hit-or-miss tech niques but to get into a laboratory and help find the real cure.” “How did you go about getting started?” “I made the usual applications,” said the M.D., “but I soon found the hospitals and universities had no funds to hire research men, and that I couldn’t get a job unless a foundation 'paid my salary. To complicate things, most foundations won’t give you a fellowship unless you first have a job. In addition, it’s almost impossible to get a grant until you’ve published a cer tain number of scientific papers and, of course, you can’t publish such papers until you’ve worked in a laboratory and had a chance to do research worth writing about. “It finally boiled down to this— I could work for nothing in a can cer laboratory, or I could take a job paying $120 a week doing research for a cosmetic outfit. Well, I had just gotten married and was ready to settle for the money, but my wife wouldn’t hear of it—she went out and got an office job and made me stick to my test tubes.” * • • “HOW LONG did you work for free?” “About a year,” said the doctor, “and then the head of the medical center—a very decent guy—squeezed me onto the payroU at $28.87 a week.” “You could have earned more washing dishes.” "We managed to get by," said the medico, "but the following year my wife had a baby and had to quit her job. After that, it was pretty rugged. As, for instance, we couldn’t afford to buy a crib, and the youngster bad to sleep in a donated baby carriage. “Somehow, though, we pulled our way through, and by the end of the following year I had gotten a couple of research pieces published. With these to back me up, I applied for a fellowship paying $3,000 a year.” “Minus withholding tax, I pre sume.” “It may not sound like much, but I felt like John D., Jr. when the grant came through,” said the doctor. “Last year, I went through the application rigmarole again— 275 typed pages—and this time I got the full $3,600. * • » “WHAT DO YOU DO to earn all that money?” I said. <1 IF YOU ARE QUIET” A 1 N old man sat one evening by his door. His face was tranquil, in his eyes was peace. His hands were Still, his long life work was done. He had a look about him of release. And I, who needed much to learn the things That he had learned, sat down beside him there On the low doorstep in the scented dusk. He smiled his gentle smile, he touched my hair, He said: “My child, 1,too, was reStless once, 1, too, was hurt by life, and blind and dumb ( I groped my way; then a wise one said these words? If you are quiet, so will help come Twas an old folk saying from an old loved land. I li&ened to its teaching, listened long, — And learned its secret. He who trusts in God, And who goes quietly, he will grow Srong.” GRACE NOLL CROWELL “I’m in charge of three cancer projects and help on half a dozen others. On the side, I run a throat clinic, work in the wards and give seminars.” “Any chance of a raise?” “I’m afraid not,” said the doctor, “and, as far as fellowships are con cerned,'I’m getting near the end of ^he line. I’m 29 now, and the founda tions don’t like to make grants to men over 30.” The Fiction BASIL BECOMES A MAN By Richard H. Wilkinson Corner B ASIL Winthrop’s father had al ways made his decisions; had conducted the boy’s affairs, or ganized his life, superintended his doings. Basil was an only child. 3 - Minute His mother was Fiction dead ’ and be - riviiuii cause he had in _ herited his moth er’s mildness of manner, and be cause his father was a domineering type, Basil, following the line of least resistance, had allowed these things to happen. His father was wealthy and generous, so why not let the old man run the show? Basil thought. He ceased to think thus when he met the girl with the red hair and blue eyes. She was selling kisses at a charity bazaar. Five dollars a kiss. Basil only had $30 in his pocket, but he stretched out the six kisses that amount would buy so that other customers got tired of waiting. After the bazaar, he drove the girl with the red hair to the hotel where she was staying. He didn’t ask her name; she didn’t volunteer it. But they made a date for the next night. As he entered the front hall his father called to him. Basil hesi tated, then squared his shoulders and went toward the voice. Winthrop, genior, seemed in a good mood. “I’ve just met an old friend of mine, son. Sarah Morti mer. She and her daughter, Elaine, are spending a few days in town. Son, I want you to meet them. Nothing would please me more than to see you and Sarah’s daugh ter married.” Basil stared. This, he thought was the payoff. His father had arranged everything else in his life, but by golly he wasn’t go ing to pick his wife! “Dad, you’re taking too much for granted. I can’t marry Elaine. I—I’m in love with someone else.” “Someone else? Who?” Basil continued to see the redheaded girl, and each time he saw her he loved her more. “I—er—don’t know her name.” *T see.” Winthrop, senior, rose and patted his son on the arm. “I’ve arranged a dinner party for tomorrow. You’ll meet Elaine then. >UT BASIL didn’t meet Elaine then. For the first time in his life he felt the electrifying qualities B' of manhood warming his blood. Instead of attending the dinner party, he held a clandestine meet ing with the redhead. They had a swell time together. By mutual and silent agreement they de cided not to confide to each other their identity. Afterward, Basil had some regrets. His father was a pow erful influence. He could make things decidedly uncomfort able. And the red-headed girl who, apparently, had been used to nice things, might not be so interested in him If she knew he was penniless. Winthrop, senior, arranged an other meeting with Sarah Morti mer and daughter. It was, he de cided, to be the test. If Basil re fused to follow his wishes this time —well, he’d have to get under way in taking his drastic steps. When Basil heard about the ar ranged meeting he came to a deci sion. He would meet this Elaine and tell her in front of his father that he loved another. Then he would keep an appointment with the red-headed girl and propose marriage. That, he decided, was the only manly thing to de, and Basil had suddenly become a man. So with his father Basil went to the hotel where the meeting had been arranged. Mrs. Mortimer and Elaine received them in their suite of rooms. Basil took one look at Elaine and almost collapsed. She had red hair and freckles and buck teeth. She was about the homeliest looking creature Basil had ever seen. More over, she giggled. Basil didn’t wait for the dinner to get under way. He made his speech then and there, then headed for tbe door. His father accompanied him into the corridor. “Son,” said the old man, “for give me. I didn’t know wkat I was getting you into. Go marry your redhead. She couldn’t be any worse than that.” “Thanks, Dad,” said Basil. And he went off and kept his date with the red-head, whose name, it proved, was Mary Smith. He pro posed and she accepted and they lived happily ever after. " 1 *■■.■■■ —— ssword mm ACROSS 1. Kind of duck 6. Interval between points 11. Kind of game 12. Teutonic god 13. Senior 14. Onward 15.

Dozens of steel workers, bricklay ers and carpenters—all averaging around ’ a hundred a week—were getting in each other’s way. Over the half-finished entrance was a space which looked as if it might eventually be filled with a block of marble on which a fitting inscription would be carved. “I know what it ought to be,” I said to myself.

For the state departments, offi cials point out, such programs are economically and biologically un sound. From a financial standpoint. It would call for an outlay of funds which hardly any state could meet. From the biological standpoint, a feeding program makes the pheas ant dependent on man for his food. In addition, these officials say, when pheasants are fed by artifi cial means, it is going directly against the process of nature. The pheasant’s beak continues to grow at all times and the only way this growth can be kept under con trol is when the birds find their food on natural grounds which, in turn, wears the beak down. If fed by artificial means, the birds get their food on the soft snow or in feed troughs, and the wearing down of the beak stops. It isn’t leng be fore the pheasant is unable to go out and search for his own food. Instead of an artificial program, the experts suggest planting of natural feed lots, not more than 80 rods from known pheasant cover. AAA Did He Get’Em? SiSllf IS ' The original cutlines on this photo were a little ambiguous In that they didn't say whether the young nimrod shown here got these birds himself, or is just posing with them. However, it’s a good enough shot to rate passing along. The youngster is Jan Oneeta, of Nags Head, North Carolina, and whoever bagged the birds in the Pimlico Sound region, had a good day. AAA Check Fishing Gear Hunters who spent many hours rounding up that lost box of shells, hunting license-holder and other bits of hunting gear pushed all around the place since the season closed last year and then, topping by says* the'oniy "diferenci.'*no» 'i« | -fverything, found the trusty old r blunderbuss coated with 1948 car bon and mud, would do well to give some attention right now to their fishing equipment That may seem a little prema ture, but if tackle isn’t taken care of now, one will be surprised how little time there will be to do it when Spring and the fishing season are upon them before they know it. Proper care of outdoor equip ment requires little effort and time, and it pays off in dollars by re ducing winter-tim^ depreciation. Plugs should be cleaned, painted and varnished; hooks need de rusting and oiling; reels should be taken down, cleaned and oiled, and rods may need refinishing. Flies and fly lines need special treatment well known to fly fishing enthusi asts to keep them fresh and effi cient. Even the tackle box could do with a house-cleaning and re paint job. / Main thing is to know where everything is when the season opens some nice day next March or April. AAA Hook Aids Hunters If one has trouble pulling a clean ing swab through a rifle, putting a fish hook to work will save a lot of temper and gray hairs. Just .straighten the hook and at tach it to the cleaning rod, string or wire. By using this method one can pull the swab through the bar rel without difficulty, or retrieve a swab stuck in the barrcL AAA \ New Duck Stamp Goldeneye ducks will feature the 1949-50 federal duck stamp which was to go on sale at first and second class post offices over the nation on January 1.
