Too Little for Brains 7 Idea
Is Hindering Research Medicine
By BILLY ROSE
Today, Fd like to tell you about a talk I had with a doctor
who is doing research work at one of the New York cancer clinics.
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.

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.

Each year, about this time, state
game and fish departments in
states where the birds are numer
ous enough to permit an open sea
son, get inquiries pertaining to
winter pheasant feeding programs.
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.

Check Fishing Gear

closed last year and then, topping

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
