A few days prior to the meeting public interest was running so high that it was decided to limit attendance to tickets only in order to avoid an overflow with many people disappointed. As a result of tickets an orderly evening was enjoyed by a full house. In summing up, it appears as if several hew records were established at the combined meetings of the Rocky Mountain Medical Conference--Utah State Medical Association Meetings, held September lOth to 12th at the Union Building on the University of Utah Campus. Registration of M. D.'s coming from the intermountain states and all parts of the United States total 788. In addition, several hundred nurses, hospital employees, medical students and interns attended. Blue Shield Eleets Board ~leanbers Tickets sold for the President's Banquet Friday evening, September 11, totaled 338. The first attempt at a public showing on medical subjects over color television was well received, and Thursday evening, September 10, approximately 800 persons attended Three Utah doctors were elected to serve three-year terms, and one doctor an unexpired term of one year on the Board of Directors of Utah's Blue Shield Plan at the Annual Meeting held Thursday, Sept. 10.

Dr. Quinn Whiting, Blue Shield Treasurer, in his report to the group emphasized that the Plan paid out more than $517,000.00 to physicians for services rendered subscribing members during the eleven month fiscal period ending June 30, 1953. This amounted to 87.67 % of the Plan's total income while expenses for the administration of the Plan were reduced to an all-time low of 12.76 % of income. Mr. Lewis G. HerseY., the Plan's Executive Director, pointed out in his remarks to the group that a new program would soon be announced which would enable the Plan to provide increased payments to doctors. Officers for the coming year will be elected at the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors.

Morrell, M.D. of Ogden, Utah. It will deal with pioneer health during the fifty years preceding the establishment of the State Health Department, the period during which Docor T. B. Beatty served as State Health Commissioner, and the changing period since his retirement. Pioneer medicine in Utah was unique in many respects as compared with that of most other pioneering states. Here was a group of people settling a desert territory, who had rather pronounced religious beliefs regarding the care of their sick. Doctors were looked upon by many not only as superfluous in community life, but also were deemed by some to be even a public menace. There was a deep-seated fear of some of the features of medical practice for many years, and an outright opposition to some. The attitude of a large part of the population toward vaccination against smallpox, made this disease an unnecessary menace for fifty years. The story of its final control is one of unusual interest. The experiences of Doctor Beatty are treated with some detail. It was originally intended to make the book a short biography of the doctor, because of his exceptional record as a pioneer health officer. As the research developed, however, there seemed to be a need for publication of other important and interesting material, and the story of Doctor Beatty was therefore made only a part of the over-all history. Doctor Beatty was an exceptional character in the pioneer health picture of the nation. He stands well toward the top of the sturdy group who fought the prejudice of the early days, and who broke the trails under most trying conditions. It has been 6 the desire of the writer to place him where he rightly belongs, as an outstanding personality in the progress of a most important feature of national life, in one of the most interesting periods of its pioneer history. How he did his work under the handicaps he encountered, is one of the unique chapters in public health history. The past twenty years have brought entirely new problems of health acutely to the front. The government has assumed responsibilities which have completely changed the health activities of the states. These activities have been dealt with in some detail, particularly in regard to the effects on medical practice, and the relations between medicine, public health, and the general public. The present and future problems of public health are discussed in the final section. The problems of today are completely changed from those of the pioneer period. Many are controversial and have created some friction between health agencies and medical practice. They are vitally important to all groups of people, and an attempt has been made to clarify the confusion which has existed, and to present all phases of the problems encountered. The need for participation of health agencies in new fields of activity, which appear to some to encroach on medical practice, is discussed in some detail. The objective of the book is to acquaint the medical profession of the state and the general public with a phase of the state's history which has been too little known. There is a vast amount of material available to the reader in the old literature of the territory and the state, but it has not been correlated, and is difficult of access. It is hoped that the book will make this interesting material more easily accessible, and create some appeal for its study. UTAH MEDICAL 'BULLETIN- SEPTEMBER, 1953 " - 1./ (Continued from page 4 ) "vaccination against accidents" and the other will be an effort to secure better care for the aged. Dr. Bartlett said, "the aged are groping around for a place of contentment and there should be a survey looking for the improvement of facilities for the care of older people." He urged that members of the Medical Profession take the lead in finding a solution to many pressing health problems and that they use public information media to the fullest extent in passing medical and health problems to the people. The delegates voted to increase State Association dues from $45.00 to $50.00 per year and voted an assessment of $20.00 per year for the American Medical Education Foundation Fund. The latter was passed with reservation that young members and those unable to pay the $20.00 could waive this assessment by appealing to the Council. The delegates also affirmed an action of the AMA in urging elimination of medical care for non-service connected disabilities in the Veteran's Administration hospitals. An exception would be made in TB and mental disease. j A new fee schedule, prepared by the Fee Schedule Committee was approved by the Delegates. Dr. Call Honored Richard A. Call, M.D ., pathologist of Salt Lake City, Utah, has been appointed to the National Committee of Forensic Pathology, according to word received from Dr. David A. Wood, President of the College of American Pathologists. The Committee on Forensic Pathology is headed by Dr. Milton Helpern, Medical Examiner, City of New York.

Dr. Simons is a graduate of the University of Utah, 1950. He interned at the Salt Lake County Hospital and served as U. 8. Public Health physician in San Antonio, Texas. He had general practice in Milford one year before coming to Monticello. He is a Blue Shield member. Dr. Simons is interested in the public health aspect of medicine-prevention of disease and the maintenance of proper standards of health. He says, "Monticello is a growing community with modern standards in every respect. It deserves up to date facilities for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. The San Juan Clinic facilities has attempted to provide such facilities and we hope to be able to give the people of Monticello medical care on a par with other modern com- munities in the state." The clinic is housed in the old San Juan Record building on Main Street belonging to Mrs. Della Jensen. The open house at the clinic was given before the reception to acquaint the people with the clinic and equipment and facilities available for their care. For purpose of demonstration an electrocardiogram was done on a volunteer from the group. Dr. Eskelson of Vernal Retires F. G. Eskelson, M. D., of Vernal, Utah, has retired after 21 years of continuous practice in that area. In announcing his retirement, Dr. Eskelson said that Dr. Robert H. Delafield would take over his practice at the Basin Medical Center. Dr. Delafield has been in Peru, South America where he was Chief Surgeon and Director of a large American Hospital located in the Andes.

The committee, in a report dated September 2 and sent to state Selective Service directors, chairmen of state advisory committees, deans of medical schools and others, states: "It is not expected that there will be additional calls for physicians placed against the Selective Service System by the President for the next 12 months." It adds: "As a result of Call No. 16 in August (for 542 physicians) and the increased number of volunteers, there have been commissioned a sufficient number of physicians to meet the needs of the armed forces for the immediate future. Those who have been commissioned from either the voluntary list or the Selective Service call will be brought to active duty from time to time until this Included in this issue of the Bulletin is a summary of proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the House of Delegates of the Utah State Medical Association and features of the joint meetings of the Rocky Mountain Medical Conferences Utah State Medical Association Convention.

UTAH MEDICAL BULLETIN- SEPTEMBER, 1953 9 Salt Lake City Citizens See Special Closed-Circuit Color TV PrograDt A closed-circuit color television program "A Medical Report to the Citizens" was seen for the first time by a non-medical audience of 800 persons in Salt Lake City, Thursday night, September 10. The Governor of Utah, the Mayor of Salt Lake City and the President of the American Medical Association were among the outstanding guests appearing on the program. In conjunction with medical color telecasts for the annual meeting of the Rocky Mountain Medical Conference held in Salt Lake City from September 10 through September 12, the host Utah State Medical Association arranged that a group of distinguished citizens view this comparatively new medium. The color telecast originated from a specially prepared studio in the Latter-day Saints Hospital and was transmitted to the Union Building on the campus of the University of Utah. The program was produced and sponsored by Smith, Kline & French Laboratories of Philadelphia in cooperation with the Utah State Medical Association as a public service. Program discussions centered around the past, present, and future activities of the medical profession, with particular emphasis on the work of medical societies, and ranged in scope from topics of international concern to those of immediate local interest. The telecast was made possible by the presence in Salt Lake City of the Smith, Kline & French Color Television Unit which will televise medical clinics and operations for the Rocky Mountain Medical Conference meeting there September 10-12. Governor J. Bracken Lee and Mayor Earl J. Glade made opening 10 remarks and welcomed the Utah State Medical Association to Salt Lake City. Dr. U. R. Bryner, chairman of the Rocky Mountain Medical Conference, extended greetings to the gathering and introduced the program. , The President of the American Medical Association, Dr. Edward J. McCormick, spoke about "The Future of Medicine" while Dr. Kenneth B. Castleton, past President of the Utah State Medical Association, discussed "What Medicine Is Doing in Utah". "Atomic Medicine-Its Future" was the discussion topic of Dr. John Z. Bowers, Dean of the University of Utah College of Medicine. Dr. Priscilla White of Boston, Massachusetts, in her talk focused attention on the layman himself. Dr. White's subject was "Diabetes". At the close of the program, a representative of the Color TV unit made some general remarks on the history and present use of medical color TV and the possibilities for future use of color TV in both commercial and non-commercial fields. Doctors Invited to Attend Oral Cancer 1\leeting The Utah Dental Association invites members of the Utah State Medical Association to attend and participate in the Second Oral Cancer Symposium which will be held October 8, 1953 at the Fort Douglas Veterans Administration Hospital.

The Committee on Sewage and Water Pollution has prepared several excellent articles .to . aid t~e doctors in providing leadership m their own communities in their efforts to obtain pure water and to provide for the proper disposal of sewage. Our Committee on Insurance Problems has met with insurance groups to discuss mutual problems and to attempt to solve them. Much good has been accomplished but there still remain many problems of a mutual nature and I feel that this committee should continue its good work. A very large part of our activities should be placed under the category of Public Relations. Indeed, this probably constitutes the largest, single item in our activities. This field is so broad that it invohnes the activities not only of our Public Relations Committee but almost every other committee in our organization. Much of the time of the Council has been devoted to this field and although the projects in this category are too numerous to report at this time a few will be briefly mentioned. We have urged our members to take a more active part in civic projects, Chambers of Commerce, civic clubs, church activities, Veterans organizations and public health projects. We feel that we must provide leadership in many fields where we have pi'eviously taken no part or have followed passively. Even in matters of public health such as water supply, milk supply, tuberculosis etc., we have done little in the past, being content to leave these matters to the U. S. Public Health Service or to our own State Board of Health. Our influence should be felt in civic groups and in Veteran organizations in order that these organizations mav receive the benefit of our experience and training and so that our profession might aid them in the formulation of policies which will be to the advantage of the general public. Our Board of Supervisors has done a fine job. It has investigated and satisfactorily solved several difficult problems within the profession. The members of this committee have spent many long hours at great personal sacrifice to accomplish this, and we of the Association owe them a great debt of gratitude. Thei'e are many other activities but time will not permit a discussion of them. Among them are the activities of the Committees on Civil Defense, Cancer, Rural Health, Mental Health, Fee Schedules, Industrial Health, Medical Education and Hospitals, and others. I am pleased to report that at the A.M.A. Meeting in New York in June this State was given an Award of Merit for its 'e xcellent response in the American Medical Education Foundation drive, and we have received commendation on sev- 14 era! occasions for our activities in public relations, radio and TV etc. We have been in rather intimate contact with our congressional delegation regarding several pieces of national legislation affecting the medical profession, and on numerous occasions have sent telegrams and letters to our ~ongressional delegation expressing our VIews on such matters as the JenkinsKeogh Bill, the Bricker Resolution the medical care of veterans etc. ' This provides in a nutshell the principal activities of your association during t h e past year, but before closing I would like to mention a few projects which I feel might deserve your attention for the future. First, I would urge your continued interest in public relations with its many ramifications. Next, I would urge that some plan be inaugurated for the indoctrination of new members in our Association. This matter has already been discussed by our Committee on Medical Education and Hospitals. Many young doctors know little or nothing about the ethics of our profession, how to set up an office, how to call in a consultant, what to do if a patient comes in who is under the care of another doctor etc. A better understanding of these problems would help our own interprofessional relations as well as our public relations. Another worthwhile project would be the dissemination of information to the public regarding the I'easons for the high cost of medical care (and at the same time the high cost of hospitalization). This matter has also been brought before one of our Committee--the Committee on Medical Economics. I would urge establishing and maintaining further liaison with the commercial insurance companies with the hope of improving the hospital and medical insurance policies which are sold to the public. We would render a real public service if we could establish definite criteria for these policies and publicize them so that the public might use them as a guide when purchasing insurance of this type. A more intimate liaison with the other professions, especially nursing, dentistry, law and pharmacy, is desirable, and it might be well to set up an inter-professional committee to accomplish this. I would recommend that our dues be increased $20.00 per year and this money earmarked for the American Medical Educational Foundation. It has already been proposed that the number of Board of Supervisors be increased. This I would heartily endorse and, in line with the recommendations of the A.M.A., I feel that its name should be changed to the Professional Relations Committee. I feel that we might well consider changing the time of our State meeting from fall to spring, so that !'esolutions from our State Society to the (Continued on page 16) UTAH MEDICAL 'B ULLETIN- SEPTEMBER, 1953 for your peptic u leer patients ...

We might consider reclassification of our members in order to provide some relief in payment of dues, particularly to full time teachers in the medical school who are on a relatively low salary and who do not qualify for associate membership according to our present constitution and by-laws. We should work with the American Legion and other interested groups in helping to solve some of the problems pertaining to medical care of veterans. There is no doubt that there are many abuses regarding the care of non-service connected disabilities in veterans. There are likewise many misunderstandings and much information, and I am sure that many of these problems could be resolved by cooperative action. I feel that we should take an active part in the problems of the Salt Lake County Hospital since it is more than a county problem, affecting as it does the medical school and patients from various parts of the State. This is an opportunity to render a public service and your Council is studying this problem at present. I heartily endorse the proposal to increase the size of the Council by the addition of a councilor from each component society. These should be elected for a three year period and the terms of office staggered. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have cooperated so manifioently in the activities of the State Association this year. Although I cannot begin to mention all of you or to give all credit where it is due, I want to especially thank Dr. George Fister, our delegate to the A.M.A., Mr. Harold Bowman, our Executive Secretary, Dr. John Z. Bowers, Dean of the Medical School, Mrs. Cutler and others in the office, Dr. George Spendlove and the other members of the State Health Department, and especially the members of the Council. I believe that the Council is the finest the Association has ever had. It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve with them. We have had some critics but in the main the criticism has been constructive and this type of criticism is always welcome. To those who have nothing to offer except destructive criticism, usually based on misinformation or incomplete information, I can only say that I hope you will take a more active part in our Association in the future. It well be an educational experience for you. To all those who have contributed to the year's activities we owe a great debt of gratitude. - Kenneth B. Castleton, M.D. 16 S. L. Co11nty News Notes Presidents Letter. At the last Executive Committee meeting, your Committee met with two of our business leaders and discussed the doctors' support of the Community Chest. After a rather prolonged discussion, it was decided that a letter, with a donation pledge, will be sent by mail to all doctors. If this is promptly returned, the doctors will not be bothered further regarding their contribution. Those which are not returned after a certain date, to be established later, will be canvassed by members of the Salt Lake Medical Society. Sooner or later, it is the conviction that the doctors of the community are expected, and must do their part in the support of worthwhile organized charities. We have been spending millions of dollars and using considerable of our time and energies to prevent governmental extensions in many of the health and welfare fields. To be consistent and realistic, we must be willing to support worthwhile charities because this represents a need which if not met by the charity dollar will soon be met by the tax dollar. The sooner we adopt this attitude towards our Community Chest, the better it will be for all concerned. Your President and your Executive Committee hope that our doctors will respond generously. At this same meeting the multitude of different drives for the charity dollar was also discussed. It is hoped that at some future meeting we will discuss several ways in which all of these special drives and stamp sales may be handled. It is hoped that the membership will think seriously about discontinuing any contributions except those through the Community Chest. Dr. James Z. Davis, President. UTAH MEDICAL BULLETIN- SEPTEMBER, 1953 Hobby Warns Secretary Oveta Culp Hobby says that "our doctor shortage looks nonexistent at first glance, but we should not delude ourselves." The Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare then makes these comparisons: "Before World War I we were graduating roughly 6,000 doctors a year. And now we are graduating only about 7,000 a year. In the U. S., while the population has jumped from a 105 million to a 160 million, the number of doctors graduating each year has climbed only 1,000." Mrs. Hobby's comments were made at the American Hospital Association annual meeting, and copies made available here. No way has yet been found to save the average American family, "from destruction by catastrophic illnesses," Mrs. Hobby states and adds that the answer lies within the private enterprise system. To this end, she would have all organizations in the field of medicine apply " their brains, their experience, and their funds to the solving of this problem." Other points made by the Secretary: (1) the overwhelming majority of the American people have no desire whatsoever for socialized medicine in any form, (2) the uneven distribution of doctors finds a patient in a major city with recourse to six or eight specialists while a person in a small town may have no doctor within 50 or more miles. ~liners Fund Spent f56 ~fillion on Medicine United Mine Workers Welfare and Retirement Fund's annual report for 1952 shows that medical and hospital care accounted for the second largest portion of its expenditures. From a total of $138,963,949.52, medical and hospital expenses amounted to $56,444,329.78. Of the latter, 79 per cent went to working miners and their families. The report emphasized state and local medical society cooperation, saying that the group's medical program is "organized on the sound principle that responsibility for a medical care program must rest entirely in medical hands." Liaison committees have been established by state medical associations in many of the coal mining states to develop and maintain cooperative relations between practicing physicians and the medical administrators of the Fund. According to the report, "these committees have proven their usefulness and are due to be formalized and strengthened with the probable inclusion of university and state health representation. . . . to insure a better total picture of the medical care problems of the state."

A Busy Man "If you want things done, pick a busy man." This saying fittingly describes the man who led your Association during the past year, Dr. Kenneth B. Castleton. Dr. Castleton was never too busy to extend a helping hand on problems of your Association. He never faltered in his efforts to broaden and improve the function of the Association. Under his leadership several new projects were successfully launched. His was a job well done and the Bulletin extends a warm thanks to Dr. Castleton. 18 UTAH MEDICAL 'B ULLETIN- SEPTEMBER, 1953 '"\ . 2 Utah Doetors Honored For Aid to Handicapped Two Utah doctors who have pioneered local "Employ the Physically Handicapped" projects came in for high honor during the Rocky Mountain-Utah State Medical Assn. meetings September 10-12.

Zeman Ogden, Utah PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Sept. 17, 1953 We have just finished our State Convention, at which we were the hosts to the Rocky Mountain Conference, and we hope that those attending enjoyed themselves as much as we enjoyed serving them. These meetings and entertainments take a lot of planning and work on the part of many, many people, as you all know who have had anything to do with them. So at this time, I want to thank all who have worked so diligently to make these a success. Without your help and advice and cooperation, it would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible, to have carried out this assignment. 20 I hope, however, that this convention has just acted as a stimulus to spur all the women in the state on to greater activity. There is a great deal to be done and I'm sure we have all heard the saying "Many hands make light work." I hope we will all take this to heart this year and seek out the women in charge of your different auxiliaries and see what you can do to help out. Mrs. Schaefer reminded us that perhaps there are many who are already helping out but that someone else, or some other group, may be getting the credit for your work. Of course, if the work is getting done that is the important thing, but it is also important, if you are working on a civic, school, or other project, to connect yourself with the auxiliary so that the public will know that the doctors and their wives are interested in their welfare. This presents such an opportunity to do a bit of Public Relations work, which will pay big dividends. Unfortunately we have gotten a name of being a little bit on the snobbish side and our husbands have been accused of being interested in the public, only for what they could get out of them. You know, and I know that these accusations are not true, but it is up to all of us to get in and work together, under the name of the auxiliary, so that the public will realize that we are working together with their interest at heart.

UTAH MEDICAL BULLETIN- SEPTEMBER, 1953 5 Ways to Make Blue Shield Work More Effectively For You 1. At patient's first visit, ask if he is enrolled in Blue Shield and obtain his contract number. 2. Also at first visit, find out if subscriber's income is within the "income limit" for service benefits. 3. Before you begin treatment, patient should be informed on just what coverage he actually has. 4. In your reports to Blue Shield, be sure every item is filled in. 5. Submit all reports as soon as services have been rendered. For Hospital Service For Medical Service 24 Y2 EAST 1ST SOUTH TELEPHONE 5-6261 SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH UTAH MEDICAL BULLETIN- SEPTEMBER. 1953 23 WHY GIVE TO THE THIS YEAR? By William L. Fields, Campaign Chairman Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick once wrote his concept of the value of a dollar as follows: "The DOLLAR: man's personal energy reduced to portable form, endowed with powers he himself does not possess, enabled to go where he cannot reach, to lift burdens he cannot touch, to save lives he never knew." This explanation is so striking that I offer it to the medical profession of this community as a prescription of giving. Dr. Fosdick suggests a way each busy professional man and woman can help his community without giving more of the precious time necessary to carrying out the duties of his practice or his way of making a living. Regarding the help needed in this community, no other group is better able to understand why it is needed and how much it is needed than the medical profession. The need to provide service to those who, through no fault of their own, need help to take care of menta~~ physical health and other social rehabilitation problems is well known to every doctor. But in addition to the humanitarian values of this service, we all know that once we help a person or family make his own way again we also enable that person or family to pay his or their own way again. And that helps all of us whether doctors, dentists, grocers or any other person selling services or commodities in this community. There is one more very specific a nd important reason for giving to your Community Chest Red Feather Agency Campaign this year: The increased number of drives each year in Salt Lgke County has lrrttated and wasted the time and energy of all of us. 24 ~OMMUNITY ~BEST We are, therefore, setting up our United Red Feather Agency Campaign this year as a test. If we succeed not only in making our goal, but in over-subscribing it substantially, we will be well on our way to the development of a Federated Campaign which will attract and include all drives in this community in the near future. To attain this objective we are faced with this problem: Our goal this year is the same as last year's$366,948. However, last year we missed our goal by about 5 per cent. This year then-just to reach goalwe must increase our average gifts by five-plus-per cent. That is our problem and I am confident that each member of the medical profession will decide to GIVE 'TIL IT HELPS - GIVE THE UNITED WAY. Physicians Elect New Chiefs, Director Board Dr. W. Ezra Cragun of Logan was elected president of Utah Chapter, American Academy of General Practice, at the chapter's annual meeting in the University of Utah Union Bldg. He succeeds Dr. Earl F.
