<g | Pemoralic atc. Bellefonte, Pa., August 28, 1981. )W CANADA KEEPS COUNTRY DOCTORS Everybody's happy. The patients ve all the attention they need. ie doctors are paid $4,000 a year, ich in many cases, is more than ey made before. And, having made this pleasant cord, the Saskatchewan and Man- ba plan for keeping country doc- rs in the country by providing equate support for them, seems ely to spread, according to an ac- unt by W. W. Jermane in the attle Times. Since America is said toface a ortage of rural physicians, justas ese two Canadian provinces did, r. Jermane believes that an ex- anation of the Saskatchewan- anitoba system may be interesting. 1¢ story he tells is contained in he recent statement by Dr. C. ifus Rorem of the Committee on e Costs of Medical Care. The 'w system is built on the payment rural physicians out of public nds.” The details of the system r. Jermane lists thus: “Thirty-two rural communities of iskatchewan have solved the prob- m. Twenty-one physicians are nployed full time by twenty of the irty-two interested communities; e other twelve communities, or, ral municipalities—the name giv- 1 in Saskatchewan to an &rea sughly corresponding to the county the United States—use the part- me services of seventeen physicians. i addition, their physicians are em- oyed on a full-time basis by three these ‘municipalities’ in Manitoba. “The system was first established . Sarnia, seventy-five miles north- ist of Regina, in 1921. “Its success led other communities » imitate it. “Dr. Rorem says that Saskatche- an ‘has for some years taken the ad in Canada in the matter of san- ation, immunization against conta- ious diseases and has recently in- agurated a system by which all res- lents of the province requiring hos- italization for tuberculosis may re- sive both insitutional and medical are at no direct cost to themselves. “Municipal physicians, Dr. Rorem iscovered as the result of his field irvey, are usually hired when com- iunities find that their existing med- ‘al services are inadequate or too astly, or when physicians who pre- jously served them die or move way. In several local hysicians placed before the com- iunities the alternative of employ- 1g them on an annual salary, or aving them go to better fields. In one community, “two private ractitioners complained that they rere unable to make a living, while any residents protested that the harges for medical services were jore than they could afford to pay,” the writer, coming to cases: “A municipal physician was hired nd now covers the entire field ormerly served by two physicians 1 private practice. “Another community hired a mu- icipal physician after the death of an 1d time family doctor who had serv- d it twenty-five years. The suc- essful applicant for the place was elected from a group of thirty ap- licants. “Still another municipality adopt- d the new system on the recom- aendation of its leading physicians. ‘orty-two applicants presented bemselves, and the position was nally given to the physician who ad suggested that a change be “In another case, a physician who ad been engaged in private practice ao Saskatchewan for eighteen yeafs nnounced his intention to leave be- ause of inability to make a living. ie was hired on a salary and re- pained. “In some instances, the municipal hysicians serve only the rural pop- dation; in other instances he at. ends to the illnesses of town people Ss well. Sometimes a part of alary is paid by the rural munici- sality, and a part by one or more owns or villages which he also erves, “These municipal physicians keep egular office hours, and make calls mn patients who can not go to them. n order to discourage rural patients : vho summon them for trivial causes, hey are permited at times to charge ees for “first calls,” or to collect nileage for county visits.

New York.—An investigation into & system of briliery whereby well-to-de convicts sentenced to federal peniten- tiarles at Atlanta and Leavenworth, especially for liquor law violations and stock frauds, have been able to get themselves transferred to less oner- ous confinement in army detention been under way by the Department of Justice for several weeks. The first intimation of the existence of such a system was obtained by federal authorities here some months azo with the discovery of a letter in the pocket of Paul Rubkin, a convict- ed watch smuggler, in the Manhattan federal building. Rubkin, with Solo- mon Rubman, secretary of the com- pany, and Joseph Y. Pearlman, wae sentenced to the Atlanta penitentiary in July, 1930, Rubkin Gets Two Years. The charges of smuggling watch move ments valued at £050,000 into this port from Switzerland and defrauding the government out of £300,000 in duties. Rubkin and Pecriman got two years each and Rubman was sentenced for 18 months, Some time later, however, when the | federal authorities wanted Rubkin to confront a new suspect and they sent to Atlanta for him, it was found that he was at Fort Wadsworth. He was erwards when he was taken back to Fort Wadsworth and searched it was discovered that some one had given him a letter while in New York, The letter was from a conviet n. Atlanta, It d'sclosed that the writer had ohtained the necessary funds snd wanted to follow Rubkin's example in obtaining a transfer to Fort Wads worth. Questioned by federal authori- ties, Rubkin admitted that he had bought a transfer for himself for £1.000 and that his two associates had also bought transfers, the prices he- ing £1,000 and £500 each, Learn of Transfers. Department of Justice agents, nn. der John Edzar Hoover, chief investi- gator at Washington, began an inves. tigation. They learned that other trans- fers had been made under similar conditions, However, It was not al- ways easy to ascertain whether the transfers had been pald for. Because of the overcrowded condition of the penitentiaries at Atlanta and Leaven- worth, federal prison authorities have fer as many prisoners as possible to army detention camps. Nearly 1.500 these camps. Among other notorious prisoners who are sald to have obtained trans fers from Atlanta to army detention camps is Harry Goldhurst, operator of a Manhattan bucket shop and financial adviser of Bishop Cannon and friend of Samuel Radlow, once an Intimate of the late Vivian Gordon. Goldhurst was sentenced to five years in Atlanta for his bucket shop opera: tions, Leaves $5,000 So Dogs Can Be Kept Together Richmond, Va.—The late Herbert I..
