Tragic Moral Sickness”
THE LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT is constantly chasing
out of empty buildings, such as the old Federal Building,
scores of children, some of whom are in their teens and should
know better. Some buildings such as the American Legion Hall
have been completely destroyed—and why, for what purpose
and for what gain ?
J. Edgar Hoover is a rousing patriot and a wise and careful
law enforcement officer. Some sections of his recent address on
(receiving the Criss Award, which were not stressed in the news
report, are aimed at all segments of American opinion.
"Today we are facing a crime problem of such magnitude that
it represents an acute danger to our national survival. There is a
serious weakening of moral and spiritual fibers in our society.
We must never forget that a vitiated state of moral*; a corrupted
public conscience, is incompatible with true freedom.
"America’s juvenile criminality is directly traceable to die
failure of adults to meet their moral obligations. If respect for
law and order and for the rights of others were instilled in chil
dren at an early age and if parents set a proper example for their
children, we might keep juvenile delinquency from becoming
the door to careers in crime. . .
"In this nation, disrespect for law and order is a tragic moral
sickness which attacks and destroys the American traditions of
honesty, integrity and fair play. . • . One cannot preach morality
and practice immorality. National corruption is the sum total of
individual corruption. . . ."

A Great Test of
U.S. Endurance
By Hal Boyla
NEW YORK UPf — One of the
great tests of American endurance
today is waiting to see the doctor.
You call his nurse, explain you
believe you are suffering from
walking pneumonia, and ask for an
appointment.
“Doctor can see you at 2:30 p.m.
a week from Tuesday,” says his
nurse. “Please be prompt.”
Well, what happens? Worn and
weak, you totter into his office on
that day at 2:31, feeling guilty at
being a minute late.
But you find the place as throng
ed as a department store the week
before Christmas.
“Is the doctor having a sale?”
you inquire.
“Please take a seat,” replies the
nurse professionally. “Doctor has
a terribly busy day.”
A seat? Where? You sit down
on the rug in a corner. You’d like
to stretch out, but there isn’t room.
At 3:02 the doctor comes in,
places his golf bag next to you,
looks around cheerfully, says “Well,
well.” and disappears into his in
ner office.
At 3:30 he starts seeing his
patients. One by one they go in,
spend a fast minute and come
out holding a prescription blank
in their paw.
You fret more and more as the
time passes. The nurse seems to
have forgotten you exist. But
finally, about 5:48 she calls your
name.
“Well, well,” says the doctor
when you enter. “What’s wrong
with us today?”
“Us had pneumonia when us
came in,” you answer. “But us
seem to have got well out there
waiting. Now all us needs is a
bandage for our fingernails. Us has
chewed them down to the
knuckles.” _
Knuckle-gnawing today is the
sign of the medical tyro, the im
patient patient It is an indication
one hasn’t learned to use construc
tively the time spent waiting in a
doctor’s office.
Actually those long hours need
not be empty or fruitless. One can
spend them pleasant or even profit
ably.
For example:
Break open a deck of cards. Start
a poker game with some of the
other patients. You may win more
than enough to cover your visit to
the doctor.
Bring along your briefcase. You
can get more real work done wait
ing for the doctor than you could
in your own noisy office.
Learn something. A friend of
mine while waiting to see his doc
tor became an authority on geo
graphy from February 1902 through
March 1936, which marked the
latest issue of the National' Geo
graphic magazine stocked by his
physician.
By the time you get in to see
him at least you’ll probably feel
rested, refreshed and fit as a fiddle.
Then it will be the doctor’s turn
to wait—until you get around to
paying his bill. It all evens out
in the end.
