PAGE 4—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Nov. 25, 1970 State president medical women speaks here The Auxiliary to the New berry County Medical Society held November meeting at the home of Mrs. R. E. Livings ton. Following the business, the President of the Auxiliary to the South Carolina Medical As sociation, Mrs. Thomas Parker of Greenville, gave the program. She spoke on three pertinent points of auxiliary work that stand out to her as vital in this day and age in which we find ourselves. First: Membership - without each individual member work ing on the county level, none of our Program could be ac complished. Membership con trols the effectiveness of the whole Auxiliary in all it’s en deavors. We have a unique op portunity in the United States to be of service because ours is the only country in the world to have a Medical Auxiliary or anything even resembling it. Second: She stressed the im portance of AMPAC and it's counterpart SOCPAC. “Today, when medicine, and the pri vate practice of medicine as we know it, is fighting for it’s very existence (and make no mistake, it is fighting for its very life) we, as doctor’s wives have to know what is going on. We can do this through AMPAC. AMPAC is the American Me dical Political Action Commit tee. SOCPAC is the S. C. coun cil of this group. These groups provide their members a means of participating effectively in public affairs. It is the best means we have of fighting so cialized medicine. We all know of the insidious inroads that worldwide Communism has made in America, but, I can, in all good faith warn you of the very real and final danger that the private practice of me dicine is facing today, and that each of us must fight if we and our children are to survive. Third: She wished to clarify the use of the term Medical Care in our work as opposed to the term Health Care. “Health Care, as defined by the World Health Organization, is a state of total physical, men tal and social. . .mark that word well. . .Social well being, not merely the absence of di sease. This of course includes providing good homes, good clothes, good appliances, good cars, color T. V.'s, good every thing. . .a state of Utopia, which surely is not the job, nor within the power of the medical pro fession. Various agencies of the Fe deral government routinely blame the medical profession for the rising costs of Health Care. The medical profession can in no way control the costs of health care as thus defined, but only some aspects of the cost of Medical Care. Measures should be taken to clarify the meaning of the e xpressions “Medical Care” and “Health Care” and to insure their cor rect usage. Mrs. Parker ended her talk with the following: “Thank you for listening to me and for let ting me wave the flag just a little. I love my country so much, and I love the freedom that is being so insidiously strangled in this land. While I have the opportunity I intend to do everything in my power to help preserve that freedom for my children and my grand- children in any area that I am able to touch.” After a delicious luncheon served by the hostesses, Mrs Livingston. Mrs. E. J. Dickert and Mrs. Von Long the meeting was adjourned. COLLEGE CALENDAR Athletics are in the spotlight at Newberry College during the Thanksgiving recess. The traditional Bronze Derby football game between the New berry Indians and the Presby terian Blue Hose is scheduled for 2 p.m. Thanksgiving in Clin ton. The Indians enter the con test with a 4-6 record while the Blue Hose sport a 7-3 including a five-game winning streak.

Mrs. Tindall is club hostess Fifteen members of the Lite rary Study Club of Newberry were guests of Mrs. Clyde Tin dall on Tuesday, October 20. After a social hour, Mr. Dave Morrison presented a slide pro gram stressing the need to pro mote better hospital facilities in Newberry County. Following the community im provement program, Mrs. B. A. Fretwell presented a review of a recent best-seller, Delive rance, by James Dickey, poet- in-residence of the University of South Carolina and author of ten volumes of poetry. The New York Times Book Review refers to Deliverance, Dickey’s first novel, as “A novel that will curl your toes..” Time Magazine views Deliverance as a small classic novel in which action and reflection are matched and a man’s return to primitive struggle produces some lasting fragment of in terior knowledge..” Some re viewers question the transfer of the hero role from Lewis Medlock to the “second in com mand” Ed Gentry, who nar rates the story. It is Ed who is forced to save what can be saved in this desparate strug gle. Yet in this pursuit of pro tecting his own life and the oth er companions, Ed becomes both a hero and a criminal. The story concerns four At lanta businessmen full of nai- vote and possessed of varying amounts of goodwill and exper tise. Their weekend begins as innocently as a Boy Scout hike. Their destination is the Cahula- wassee River in the mountain ous section of north Georgia. The river is about to be dammed up for a hydro-electric project and the men want to explore it before its valley becomes a lake. Lewis, instigator of the expedition, persuades the oth er three to pursue the romantic yearning to challenge the un known. Ed, an ardent archery student who views his “teacher” Lewis with what might be call ed hero worship, is determined that there must be something more to the interval between our birth and our death than trips to the office water cool er; therefore, he joins Lewis in encouraging Bobby and Drew to participate in testing their mettle against the cutting edge of nature. Once on the Cahulawassee Ri ver, the four men begin their perilously adventurous canoe trip that includes an unprovo ked attack by malicious stran gers. Murder and revenge are traced, crimes are concealed, and bodies are disposed of as these men are propelled along their “one-way” walled-in can yon trip. The many stomach- churning encounters cause the reader to consider James Dic key’s recent observation, “There is only one question of any phi losophic importance at all — How shall a man live his life?” Both the action and the lan guage reveal Deliverance to be a very masculine novel, not to be undertaken by those who find distaste in books whose vo cabularies are less than gen teel.
