State head of Medical Auxiliary here The Auxiliary to the New berry County Medical Society met at the Newberry Inn on Monday, November 20 at which time Mrs. William J. Stro- hecker of Columbia was guest speaker. Accompanying Mrs Strohecker, who is president of the S. C. Medical Auxiliary, wtere Mrs. Richard Wabuirn, State Doctor's Day Chairman, and Mrs. George Smith, State Corresponding Secretary. Mrs. Strohecker was intro duced by Mrs. V. W. Rinehart a long-time personal friend. Mrs. Strohecker spoke in an interesting and original man ner of the aims and goals of the Medical Auxiliary. She stressed an annual physical examination for yourself, your children, and most especially for your husband. In the field of mental health the aim of each individual should be to understand himself. The Aux iliary is particularly concerned with traffic safety in S. C. The roads are good, cars in good condition, so it is time for the driver to take a look at himself. Newberry County has a far better safety record than the state as a whole but much remains to be done. Medical personnel will become an acute need. Medicine is the third largest industry in S. C. and in ten years it is estimat ed it will be the largest. One of every ten high school grad uates are needed to enter health careers. There are 184 various fields in health careers. In the field of legislation, voter registration is being stressed, also Medical Auxiliary members are asked to become actively involved in politics by work ing for the best qualified per son for the office to be filled. The Auxiliary has done much work in the field of internat ional health such as collection of drugs, knitting of leper bandages, and supporting the hospital ship Hope. A new pro ject is being added this year, the collection of used HAM RADIO EQUIPMENT. There is a HAM RADIO hook-up be tween Doctors in Central and South America and Duke Uni versity and there is a need for more equipment for the Doc tors in isolated areas to be able to be in contact with the Duke University Medical School. There is a great need for education in the field of veneral disease. There are pro grams available prepared by the AMA to be presented to the public on the veneral dis ease problem. Mrs. Strohecker closed this interesting program by wishing Auxiliary members a healthy, happy, and fashion able Auxiliary year. During the business session, Mrs. Sydney Carter, who is president of the Newberry County Medical Auxiliary ask ed all members to offer their blood and services to the next two visits of the Red Cross Bloodmobile. Newberry County is still far behind in the collec tion of blood and it would cause great suffering to many people in the county to be without this service. Auxiliary members over the years have responded with blood and ser vice. A delicious luncheon was serv ed by the Newberry Inn. A beautiful Thanksgiving ar rangement centered the lunch eon table Mrs. Sydney Carter and Mrs. Ralph Baker served as hostesses for this occasion.
