President’s Page
H aving failed to prepare m y first letter to the B ulletin on tim e,
I now appreciate m ore th a n ever the efficiency of both Dr s. Tuell
and Lam bing.
Of the cu rren t problem s before the Society I have
no ready solutions. We need the help of m an y m em
bers. Dr. Moses has taken over the job of w elfare
screening physician and would appreciate guidance from
the different segm ents of our m em bership. An advisory
com m ittee will be established to help w ith over-all policy
of servicing this S tate-run program . T he State estab
lishes the rules w hich Dr. Moses is requested to follow.
Instead of a regional h ea rt, stroke, cancer and
bunion program w ith centralized controls, the govern
m ent is wisely now going to concentrate these forces
on a continuing education program , and one at the local level w ith as
m uch local talent and cooperation as possible. A fu tu re m edical so
ciety program will explain this to us. Dr. M alden h as been spending
tim e (along w ith Dr. Reberger and others) being instructed on how it
m ay be established here.
In looking at the calendar of m edical m eetings it seem s th a t we
could remove some of the concentration from the m onths of M arch,
June, Septem ber and December if we could m erely achieve coordina
tion and cooperation from the hospital staff presidents and executive
com m ittees. Why not have the TG hospital m eeting on th e first T hursday
of February, St. Joseph’s on the 1st Tuesday of M arch, and then com
bine Doctors Hospital and Allenm ore and have their staff m eeting the
first Tuesday in April— then start the rotation again w ith TG th e first
Tuesday of May, etc.? Maybe eventually TG and St. Joseph’s will be
willing to com bine their staff m eetings. Allenm ore and Doctors should
do so as they have the sam e problem s and sim ilar operations. Any
other suggestions to ease up the m eeting jam will be helpful. Help! Help!

ractive aggressive children. Employ usual
scautions in treatment of anxiety states with
idence of impending depression; suicidal
idencies may be present and protective
iasures necessary. Variable effects on blood
agulation have been reported very rarely in
tients receiving the drug and oral anticoulants; causal relationship has not been
lablished clinically.
Iverse R e a c t io n s : D ro w s in e s s, ataxia and
nfusion may occur, especially in the elderly
d debilitated. These are reversible in most
itances by proper dosage adjustment, but are
0 occasionally observed at the lower dosage
iges. In a few instances syncope has been
>orted. Also encountered are isolated ininces of skin eruptions, edema, minor menual irregularities, nausea and constipation,
rapyramidal symptoms, increased and delased libido — all infrequent and generally
itrolled with dosage reduction; changes in
G patterns (low-voltage fast activity) may apir during and after treatment; blood dyssias (including agranulocytosis), jaundice

Pain p e r c e p tio n ... mental tension... muscle tension-s$asm
— all th re e are often major contributors to your patieftl’s
over all discomfort. TRANCO-GESIC produces overall reli
because it provides analgesia to combat pain,
- ■ '•
tranquilization to calm tension, and muscle relaxation
to assure comfort and ease of movement.
-•>;£* .
« oral non-narcotic analgesic
• dependable muscle relaxation and tranquilization
— peripherally on the neuromuscular apparatus

•#*
.=
• well tolerated
• suitable for prolonged administration
Action: TRANCO-GESIC, with its combination of pharmacologic effects in treating
patients with acute or chronic pain, provides more effective control of pain than s1|fj
analgesics alone. The double action of chlormezanone, centrally on the brain, and peripherally on the neuromuscular apparatus, provides dependable muscle relax#
and tranquilization. This is combined with the well-known analgesic, anti-inflam
and antipyretic action of aspirin.
Contraindicated in patients with a history of a previous hypersensitivity reaction^,
chlormezanone. TRANCO-GESIC should not be administered to persons known'
suspected to have an idiosyncrasy to aspirin.
i
Warnings: Should drowsiness occur, the dose should be reduced; and if this shou]
continue, the patient should not operate a motor vehicle or any other danger^' "
machinery while taking the drug. Safe use of this preparation in pregnancy or]
has not been established, as no animal reproductive studies HaveBeen perfo.
therefore, use of the drug in pregnancy, lactation, or in women qfchjldbearjri
requires that the potential benefit of the drug be weighed against its possible
to the mother and fetus.
Adverse Reactions: Should drug rash, dizziness, flushing, nausea/gastricd|
drowsiness, depression, edema, inability to void or weakness oecur, r J -*i
discontinue medication. Reversible jaundice, apparently cho’lesjatic,
on rare occasions during the use of chlormezanone.
’
Dosage and Administration: So well tolerated it may be taken,on^n emptyt
Usual adult dosage is 2 tablets three or four times daily. Thesuggested do
children 5-12 years old is 1 tablet three or four times daily. Rejiff of symp
apparent in 15 to 30 minutes and may last up to 6 hours or linger.
How Supplied: Bottles of 100 and 1,000 tablets.

Editorially Speaking
By the n atu re of his work and training, the physician seem s m ost
susceptible to an incipient depression or fatigue from w hich he tries to
extricate him self by increasing his work load.
My own spirit seems best sustained by the infinite
variety of outdoor recreation available in the N orthw est.
I hope you will bear with m e this com ing year while I
indulge in a series on outdoor recreation.
For those who find our w inters drab, I would urge
skiing. The w eather contrast is refreshing on top of the
hill. As a skier, you will find yourself looking forw ard
to the w inter season. The skier often becomes a m oun
tain hiker in the sum m er. It isn ’t ju st the schussrng th at
sustains the spirit. The scenery on the top becomes even
m ore dram atic in the sum m er.
The first outdoor article consists of a series of brief notes by the
participants in a four-day hike into the E n ch an tm en t Lakes region of
the N orth Cascades.

BACK PACKING BOLD AND FEARLESS
(As told by the survivors)
The Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area,
some 50 miles long and 25 miles wide,
lies between Stevens and Snoqualmie
Passes, with its western edge one hour’s
drive from the Puget Metropolis. Its
rugged terrain is accessible by unim
proved trails. The size of the area al
lows thousands of people to gain a wil
derness experience without overwhelm
ing its solitude or destroying its ecology.
The eastern fringe of this wilderness
area can be reached via the Snoqual
mie Pass highway to Cle Elum and
thence over Blewett Pass to Leaven
worth. A spur road takes one 7 miles
along the rock-studded flowage of the
Icicle Creek to a parking area at the
base of the snow creek trail.
Here, on August 7, 1968, eight Taco
ma doctors breached the eastern edge of
nature’s fortress, and thought long, long
thoughts, saw magnificent scenery and
learned something of worth about each
other. Their accounts of this adven
ture follow.
—T h e E d i t o r .
DUDLEY HOUTZ . . .
the leader
It’s called Back-Packing. I’d made
this hike four years ago with Paul Luvaas. It’s beautiful territory and this is
a nice hike, not a mountain-climbing
expedition . . . just a nice walk where
there are no roads.
We were out four days. We left the
cars at Icicle Creek, south of Leaven
worth, and were on the trail about
mid-morning. Our starting elevation
was about 1500 feet. We stopped for
lunch at N ada Lake and camped the
first night at the upper end of Snow
Lake, an elevation of about 5400 feet.
The second day we hiked to the up
per end of the lowest of the five En
chantm ent Lakes, camped that night
there at an elevation of about 7200
feet.
Perfection Lake and Little
A nna P u m a from Prussic Pass
The third day we took a m orning
hike into the Upper Enchantm ent area.
Haley and M attson climbed Little Anna
P um a. Kallsen had stayed behind to
fish at the campsite. By the way, the
fishing was so good we’d just take the
best ones. They were mostly native
brook and cutthroat trout—very good
eating. We caught and ate around
eighty fish on the trip and cooked them
every way you can think of. I think
the last fish we ate were poached, by
Kallsen.
The afternoon of the third day we
hiked to the Rat Lakes over Prussic
Pass and camped there Friday night be
tween Shield and Earle Lakes.
Saturday we went over and down the
side of Temple Mountain back to Nada
Lake and out.
The food was good. Each m an was
theoretically allowed just a 25-pound
pack, most were carrying about 27
pounds, but these freeze-dried foods
give you a lot for not much weight.
16
BULLETIN o f t h e
Our average day started with a big
ranch-style breakfast of eggs, sausages,
hash-browns. Lunch was usually a cold
lunch of cheese and crackers, or beef
jerky. At n ight we really ate well . . .
steaks, strogonoff, chops, m artinis too.
Along with this we always had trout.
Everyone took turns fire building and
cooking except Brigham and Malden,
who were our perpetual dishw ashers.
The scenery was beautiful. T here’s
just nothing like getting out of sight
and out of touch with people and their
problems.
T he high point in the trip, both liter
ally and figuratively for m e, was w hen
Bill M attson and I took the gentle walk
to the top of Little A nna P u rn a for a
gorgeous view of the whole n o rth Cas
cades. W e were unable to talk anyone
else into going up there w ith us, even
though the clim b is alm ost no more
th a n going up Prospect Hill.

T hat four-day hike into E nchantm ent
Lakes last sum m er was the darndest
hike I have ever been on and I have
been on quite a few of them . My usu
al is to go off for two to five days and
never shave, never change underw ear,
never even wash my face. But under
our intrepid leader, Dudley Houtz, im ag
ine if you can Schwind, Malden, Brig
ham , Kallsen, M attson, Prew itt and m y
self bathing daily in the stream or lake
at near-freezing tem perature and chang
ing socks and underw ear. This usually
happened before the evening social hour
and refreshm ents. W hile the fisherm en
were out catching the evening m eal
(and they totaled about 87 fish for the
whole trip ) the rest of us were bartending.
B righa m , M ald en, Haley
a n d M a ttson — on top
The entire trip was characterized by
jollity and light, except for the nuisance
of m osquitoes, and except for a couple
of times w hen there was a worry or
two about trail hazards. One of these
was w hen I was glissading on the seat
of my pants, slightly out of control,
with the rest of the crew w atching from
200 feet below expecting m e any mo
m ent to careen over a cliff. Another
tim e was w hen h alf the party decided
to go around the lake on w hat looked
like steep and treacherous snowfield
where one slip m eant an ice cold dunk
ing. The route was really apparently
m uch sim pler th a n it looked, but I
chose the safe route following Fred
Schwind around the longer side of the
lake. A nother rough spot was the last
day's alm ost 90° clim b down. W hen
going around the Rock Out-Crop I was
leaning in and hugging the rock wall,
but at the sam e tim e I was aw are of
somebody behind m e holding m y pack
and reassuring m e th at I would m ake it
all right and everything would be okay.
It turned out to be Fred Schwind who
was not at all concerned about his own
safety, ju st the other guys’.
BULLETIN of th e
I don’t think Dudley Houtz will ever
live down that “quarter mile” the first
day on the climb up when everyone was
ready to stop for lunch. He kept saying,
“It’s just another quarter mile up to the
lake. There we can have lunch in the
beautiful surroundings next to the lake.”
That quarter mile took about three
hours and was more like five m iles—
all of them UP.

MARCEL MALDEN . . .
challenger of the elem ents
This country is beautiful! You can’t
describe it and you can’t im agine it un
less you see it yourself. There’s a great
deal of satisfaction in this experience
. . . conquering fear and weakness,
overcoming the elements.
All in all, I have never seen quite
such a beautiful spot for a two to four
day hike as the E nchantm ent Lake
country and I plan to take my family
in there next summer. I highly recom
mend it for the utm ost in northwest
mountain beauty.
BILL MATTSON . . .
m ountaineer
Having worked for the Rainier N a
tional Park Co., two summers on the
Paradise side and two summers on the
Sunrise side, I thought for practical pur
poses I’d seen it . . . as far as Cascades
terrain was concerned. Such was not
the case. Rainier has mostly the “rot
ten” lava type of rock. In the Enchant
ment Lakes area there were those m as
sive slabs of beautiful almost-white
granite. Then there were those sharp
“cathedral” spires, or peaks, much more
spectaculuar than Pinnacle Peak across
Paradise Valley on Rainier.
Particularly spectacular were those
snow fields and small glaciers border
ing the upper E nchantm ent Lakes . . .
adding to the effect was the way die
upper Enchantm ent Lakes overflowed,
tumbling over beautiful pieces of gran
ite, one lake into another, and the high
precipitous cliffs dropping directly into
the lakes.
I could go on and on, on our “Com

The first day the trail didn’t seem
long or steep, but we will none of
us forget Dudley’s “quarter-mile” to the
lunch site . . . it took one and a half
hours to cover!
The second day we climbed from
one lake to another, m et some other
hikers on the trail and a lot of mos
quitoes at our camp site. T hat night
Fred stayed up and photographed the
moon.
The next m orning we climbed to
the Upper Enchantm ent Lakes. Cross
ing a snowfield half of us went one way,
half the other. I was among the half
who went along the glacier, which
dropped at an angle of 45 degrees
down to the lake, part of it on top of the
lake. We were roped together by a
shoelace . . . no cram pons of course
. . . Larry Brigham had a stick!
T hat afternoon we hiked over Prus

snowfield. The fishing was best at Rat

A N ew .Y ear begins! And AMPAC,
too, is off to a fresh start with our new
6th Congressional District Director,
John Shaw, M.D. Since this is his first
year on the board, we would like to en
courage all Pierce County Medical Soci
ety members to get their dues paid
promptly to AMPAC in order to show
John that we are behind him 100%.
AMPAC completed a most success
ful year in 1968. With the state legis
lature about to convene we will now
see the effects of AMPAC's efforts u n
fold. Mr. Harlan Knudson, Director,
Division for Public Services and Gov
ernm ental Affairs for the Washington
State Medical Association, has once
more moved to Olympia to devote full
attention to the legislature. He will be
giving WSMA members periodic reports
so we can all keep abreast of what is
happening in Olympia, particularly as it
relates to medicine.
Mr. Knudson recently sent out a ques
tionnaire to allow us to further partici
pate in political action by helping him
contact legislators whom we may know
personally. It also gives us the oppor
tunity to indicate interest in particular
medical fields in which bills might come
up during this session of the legislature.
By helping Harlan we can help our
selves and also further the cause of
good medical legislation. So please com
plete and return your WSMA “RedHead” questionnaire.
AMPAC hopes to undergo some dra
matic changes in 1969. Past em phasis
was placed on educating state physi
cians to the purpose and dedication of
the organization in order to achieve di
rect billing in all counties. Since this
goal has been fairly well accomplished,
AMPAC can now move on to direct
more emphasis toward more in-depth

SHARING IN MID-YEAR
State Auxiliary attention will be fo
cused on Pierce and Kitsap counties
March 19 and 20, as hosts for the m id
year conference at the Lakewood Mo
tor Inn.
You say you are having a hard time
remembering the num bers in your life?
Numbers and more num bers plague this
computerized society . . . social secu
rity, zip code, credit cards, license, ad
dress, etc. And now we’re confronted
with a new num ber to rem em ber . . .
1969! Sure you can.
JANUARY MEETING
Let’s begin the new year with a rec
ord turnout for the luncheon m eeting
at the home of Ruth Murphy, 803 Sta
dium Way. Co-Chairmen Bonnie Stagner and Nancy Spangler, with their
committees of Florence Dean, Maryln
Baer and Norm a Smith, are sure to
make it worth the effort. The date is
Friday, JANUARY 17, and the time is
12 Noon.
Mrs. Harry Bailey, President of the
W om an’s Auxiliary to the WSMA, is
inviting all interested members to at
tend. The them e of “Sharing” will bring
an exchange of ideas to the confer
ence, with several counties, including
Pierce, being asked to discuss projects
of theirs having some aspect that is
unique or of general interest. In addi
tion, two excellent outside speakers are
scheduled, Dr. Ronald Pion from the
U. of W. Medical School, will talk about
the communications gap between par
ents and children concerning sex, and
Dr. Joseph Trainer of the U. of Oregon
Medical School, will speak at the lunch
eon on the 20th.
GOALS FOR 1969
Our president, Dorothy Grenley, asks
us to give some thought to the follow
ing worthwhile goals for our group to
pursue in 1969.

IN MEMORIAM
Archie B. Heaton, M.D.
The Tacoma medical community lost
one of its most revered members with
the passing of Archie B. Heaton on De
cember 2 at the age of 82.
He was born in Fam ham ville, Iowa,
and gradutated from the University of
Colorado Medical School in 1914. He
served his internship at the Northern
Pacific Hospital here.
In 1918 he opened his office in the
Jones Building in downtown Tacoma
and practiced there until his retirem ent
in 1965.
Archie, a practitioner of the old
school, was noted for his dedication to
the welfare of his patients. He also
had a very keen sense of hum or and
was an ardent and able skier.
Besides his wife, Bertier, he is sur
vived by two sons, Robert A. of Taco
ma, and Dr. W arren A. Heaton of
Casde Rock, Colorado; a brother, Carl,
of Tacoma; and a sister, Mrs. Nellie
Nefarm er of California, and three
grandchildren.

I was eighth m an on the hike, and I
went out for the first day only. I know
the area well as I was raised on a ranch
on the Metthow River near Twisp.
We've run cattle in the North Cascades,
and I worked with the Forestry Service
for a while, so I was acquainted with
the terrain of that area. It’s a beautiful
terrain, challenging, and a very excit
ing prospect to hike.
Before the hike I flew over the area
in a light plane and took a good look at
the route, and saw w hat was coming.
The one day I was on the trail was
quite an experience for me . . . seventytwo switchbacks, blistered feet, sore
achilles tendons, but it was well worth
it.

We becam e good friends. He m ade us

jolly role he played! T he reindeer sleigh
arrived altho there was no snow on the
ground. My first recollections are of
this outgoing friendliness.
Bill was a great sportsm an. He loved
to h u n t and fish. He played football at
the University of W ashington and at
Pennsylvania. He w as always active,
never lazy. A fter graduating from the
U. of Penn. M edical College he spent
three years as surgical Fellow at Roch
ester, M innesota. Following this, in
1917, he served as surgeon in the A.E.F.
in F rance w here he developed further
resourcefulness and skill.

Men who reach positive convictions,
who actively pursue them and are never
neutral stir up controversy, but they
m u st be adm ired for their sincerity and
investigative spirit. Bill was such a man.
He developed several convictions which
to m ost of us seem ed abberations, but
no one could accuse him of dishonesty.
He stirred up professional thinking. We
rem em ber him for his spirit. He made
his m ark. W e honor his memory.

Arthritis Foundation
Grant Awarded Here
The Tacoma-Pierce County Branch
of the Arthritis Foundation has been
given a grant by the Delta Chi Sigma
Sorority, International, for use in pro
viding indigent arthritics with physical
therapy assistance.
We are opening this program on a
‘first come, first serve’ basis. For those
indigent who are on the Medicare pro
gram —we will pay the difference be
tween what Medicare pays and the cost
of the treatment. For those not on Medi
care and on a basis of need and who
could not have physical therapy unless
it is provided free to them, we would
bear the entire cost.
We have an allocation of $150.00
each for therapy at Tacoma General, St.
Joseph’s and Good Sam aritan; $50.00 at
Doctors Hospital. It will be necessary
for the attending therapist to m ail to
our office the nam e, address and age of
the recipient; nam e of attending physi
cian and therapist. Invoices m ust be
submitted promptly after six (6 ) treat
ments or less.

PSNB 5%
Guaranteed Income
Bonds pay a better
return than 1377
NYSE stocks.
Available for $500 or more, these bonds offer you a guar
anteed 5% interest for two full years — even if interest
rates take a dip in the meantime.
Your interest starts immediately, and it’s compounded
every 90 days. Automatically. That adds up to a yield of
5.224% when held to maturity. Your money’s always avail
able on any quarterly anniversary date. And every penny
is insured by The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
So if you’re looking for a blue chip stock, see your broker.
But if you want a guaranteed sure thing, see your bond
specialist at PSNB.

BULLETIN o f t h e
President's Page
On this page I shall inform the m em bership of problem s under
cu rren t study by your board of trustees. Last m onth we prep ared state
m ents for the county com m issioners. Subject: M ountain View General
Hospital. W e believe M ountain View is the best publicowned facility available to hospitalize the re m ain in g TB
patients in W estern W ashington. W e have outstanding
physicians to supervise their m edical and surgical trea t
m ent. It would cost overall m u ch less to hospitalize them
here. It was the original legislative in ten t th at they would
all be here. Em otional political considerations have over
ridden the objective facts and by the tim e this is printed,
King County’s political m uscle will probably have them
all housed in the old barracks stru ctu re called Firlands.
In the m eantim e, M ountain View is in cu rrin g quite a debt
to the state on advanced funds being used to keep the hospital open. The
least the Legislature can do is provide forgiveness for this debt.
Surveys show th at Pierce County badly needs these hospital beds.
Passage of m edicare doomed M ountain View as m any aged w elfare pa
tients were then (by free choice) able to occupy beds in other hospitals.
The census dropped and we lost our in tern and residency program s.
Medicaide will fu rth er com pound the problem . B ut all is not black,
(n o r re d ). The N orthern Pacific H ospital Association m ay buy or lease
the facility from the county. They plan to m odernize it and open it as a
new com m unity non-profit open-staffed hospital. If we lose these hospital
beds by not having the hospital reopened, a w aiting list system will
have to be developed to hospitalize patients. It is therefore essential that
our physicians properly utilize w hatever new facility is developed at
M ountain View. Dr. Charles Larson, as Liaison to th e C ounty Commis
sioners, will be working on this whole problem . H e inform s us th at if
the N. P. Association is unable to acquire it, there is still a strong possi
bility th at a Chicago based stock corporation ru n n in g convalescent centers
will bid for the property and develop it into a m odem hospital.
In conclusion, I wish to offer a belated V alentine to Dr. Claris Alli
son, m edical director of M ountain View Hospital, form erly the old Pierce
County Hospital.. For some years now she has devoted h er full efforts
to m ain tain good hospital care for our m edical indigents and the less
fortunate of our com m unity. In spite of continual frustrations regarding
staff and funds, she has supervised one of the m ost efficient operations in
the nation. W e hope her fine abilities shall no t be lost to the com m unity
w hen M ountain View finally m ust close its doors.
T he problem of m edical indigents becomes m ore acute as our social
evolution has not yet provided the m eans for their hospitalization. This
problem m ust be faced and solved by our gradually developing health
plan n in g conferences, w herever they m ay be.

O STEOPATHS IN OUR H O SPITALS
At the A nnual Convention, the House of Delegates authorized the
Board of Trustees to begin negotiations directed tow ard the beginning
conversion of schools of osteopathy to schools of m edicine. To achieve
the objectives of im proving health care, educational
standards and providing avenues w hereby qualified osteo
paths m ay be assim ilated; the AMA suggests th at ac
credited hospitals m ay accept qualified osteopaths for
appointm ent to their staffs, th at m edical societies m ay
accept qualified osteopaths as active m em bers and that
Am erican Boards for the Specialties m ay accept for ex
am ination those osteopaths who have com pleted AMA
approved internships and residencies, and th a t the deter
m ination of qualifications be m ade at these levels . . .
locally.
My own understanding of osteopathy has been vague and I thought
it m ight be well to review the background of osteopathy so th a t we
m ight approach the suggestions of the House of D elegates with a
m odicum of knowledge.
Osteopathy is a system of practice based on the belief th at the
body can best heal itself w hen norm al structural relationships exist and
th at m aintenance or restoration of healdi m ay be prom oted by m anipula
tion of faulty structure of skeleton or soft tissue. Andrew Taylor Still
began the m anipulative approach to disease in 1874 and started the
first school of Osteopathy in 1892 at Kirksville, M issouri. T he training
was lim ited to m anipulative techniques and provided graduates after two
years. By the early 1900‘s there were 37 schools th a t gradually am alga
m ated into 5 schools with a four-year curriculum , graduating about 450
Doctors of Osteopathy each year. In addition to courses in m anipulative
techniques, the curriculum expanded to include the usual basic sciences
and clinical subjects taught in our m edical colleges. The adm ission
requirem ents are at least 3 years of undergraduate training. T he graduate
interns in a hospital of osteopathy, of w hich there are about 150 with
18,000 beds. The largest hospital is in Detroit, w ith 341 beds and 40
bassinets. There are 4 osteopathic hospitals in W ashington.
The schools of osteopathy are funded by tuition, bequests and
various grants from governm ent and industry. N one are under the
control of universities. Their boards of trustees are com posed of lay
and osteopathic personnel. The A m erican Osteopathic Association gives
approval to the training of its specialists. M em bership includes 10,000
of 13,000 practicing osteopaths. Licensure is obtained in m ost states

by passing an exam ination separate from the M .D.’s u n d er the super
vision of a board com posed of osteopathic physicians. Two states have
one healing arts exam ination w ith all M.D.’s and D.O.’s licensed under
the supervision of a com posite board of 5 M.D.’s an d 2 D.O.’s. Recip
rocity exists.
The n atu re of the osteopath’s practice is determ ined by his devotion
to the principles of osteopathy and his own artistry in m anipulative
techniques. By training he m ay diagnose and prescribe in a m an n er
sim ilar to th at of the allopathic M.D. or he m ay lim it him self to m anipu
lation in varying degree. M anipulation m ay be used in as m any as 70 to
90% of his office patients. He m ay use m anipulative techniques to
prom ote healing or relaxation in his patients w ho are being treated by
m ore conventional m eans as well. This m ay be a source of conflict on
the hospital wards. Other areas of conflict possibly include the care of
disc syndrom es, neuralgias, tic, chronic back syndrom es, tension states
and headaches.
Incorporation of the osteopath into the hospital routine will require
restrain t and education on the p art of all interested in the care of the
patient. Supervisory com m ittees would need to be activated and would
need to understand the osteopathic approach in assessing the quality of
care. T he osteopath would have to learn the standard of care for various
conditions in the hospital com m unity. The credentials com m ittees would
need guidance from the Osteopathic Association and schools in determ in
ing the qualifications ol those who would join the m edical societies or
local hospital staffs. This cooperation m ay not be forthcom ing for one
aim of the osteopathic association is not to am algam ate but rath er to
m ake the practice of osteopathy a com plete system of m edicine. Sub
m ission to the discipline of the university m ight be a helpful m eans to
determ ine the proper role of osteopathy in the practice of m edicine.
The House of Delegates feels th at the developm ent of two systems
of m edicine is no t in the best interest of the p atien t and hopes for am al
gam ation and very likely a decreased em phasis on the osteopathic system.
By offering internships, residencies, county society m em bership and hospi
tal privileges, the AMA hopes to raise the standard of training of the osteo
pathic graduate and broaden his perspective. C ertainly the isolation from
the m edical com m unity which the osteopath now pursues, is not in the
best interest of his patients. B ringing him into the educational and pro
fessional m ainstream will not be easy.

SOME ASPECTS OF SKIING
The Ski Area . . .
T o m Murphy
I can’t tell you how to start a ski area,
but I can give you a little history of the
mountain, how Alpental really got off
the ground. Back as early as 1964 a
couple of guys were looking around for
a possible new m ountain operation.
They went all over looking. W hen they
saw this place it was obviously the
answer right then, the greatest m oun
tain they had seen. So for $160,000
they bought 780 acres of land, cash, bot
tom up. Others were in with them.
When they went on the air with their
T.V. ads, they m arketed 109 lots in 48
hours . . . not realizing the service on
the lots they m arketed for $6,800 aver
age cost $4000 to service. They lost
money on every lot. They had good
advice but nobody knew w hat it was.
This is the way the thing got moving.
David Flood was hired. He has laid
out more ski areas than anyone else in
the world. He took Alpental out of the
amateur route.
As of last May, Alpental is not a
m ountain operation. It’s a lakefront
land operation. We have a lake, that
we dug the other way. A lake is nor
mally a round hole that goes down, ours
is a round hole that heads up. We
rolled the lake over, and we’re selling,
actually, beach lots, with a m ountain
operation in the middle. These we can
market.
W ell need about 500 household own
ers who1are there every weekend yearround, or about 2,000 locked in on the
m ountain every morning, and we'll
m ake money on it. But this will be
abount eight or nine years hence.
W hen we run the new lift for about
$350,000, and when we put the gon
dola up . . . which is going to run a
million and a half, and $400,000 for
the lift up Mount Snoqualmie, w ell
have on the m ountain operation then
about five million. We'll have about
fifteen million under the m ountain.
The little things are the big head
aches . . . like the actual garbage man.
We have 190 lots with 46 condomini-
BULLETIN o f th e
me I was just awful. He said, ‘Let me
try those skis’. So he put m ine on and
I put his on, and it was like Instant
Skiing! Those skis m ade all the dif
ference in the world. I had a wonder
ful time on them, and of course my
friend was miserable all day on mine.
The next day I went out and bought a
pair of skis like his.
The same thing applies to the chil
dren. They really ski proportionately
to the quality of equipment, after a
certain point.
You see more good skiiers around
here than you see anyplace else in the
country. I think the novice here has
just as much fun skiing as any ex
pert. Probably the slopes here and the
readily available good equipment make
it the great Northwest sport.
Ski Injuries . . .
George Gilman
I’m entitled to several years of
trouble-free skiing. The average injury
incidence is six per thousand skiierdays, or one every 162 days of skiing.
That’s quite a bit of skiing. Of the in
juries that are reported, about half of
them are sprains. About the other half
are what you’d consider serious inju
ries . . . fractures.
Beginners are much worse. Their in
juries average three times as m uch as
the overall. Among the good skiiers,
young people are h urt more than the
older people. W omen have a higher
injury rate than men. Beginning wom
en over thirty have the lowest rate of
all. Beginning women under thirty have
the highest.
An unusually high percentage of the
women hurt are in the first or second
Ski fractures tend to be fairly simple
• . . some tricky, but those you’d ex
pect a perfect result from. Most ski in
juries are such that, given proper care,
you’d expect no after-effects. About
eighty to ninety per cent of these in
juries are to the leg. Of those, about
seventy per cent are around the ankle.
17
Skiing is a good deal safer now, with
the release bindings. They give a high
degree of protection. It’s interesting,
the release bindings protect the male
legs, but don’t seem to protect the fe
m ale legs as much.
Instruction is im portant. The injury
rate in classes is very low as compared
to free skiing. Of course, when you’re
in class you sometimes don’t do any
thing but stand around and listen to
the instructor . . .
day of their m enstrual period. I read
that in a book.
The most common injury in the be
ginning skier is the medial knee
sprain. The slower the thing happens,
the more the force spreads out, par
ticularly in girls. W hen they fall, they
throw a lot of strain on the inner side
of the knee. I suppose the injuries to
beginning girl skiiers are four out of five
medial knee sprains, because of the
way their knees are made, the knee
bends a little more than boys’.
The more expert skiiers tend to break
the ankle or leg. Good boots, and you’ll
break the tibia as opposed to the ankle.
Basically, the ski patrol does a good
job. There isn’t much you can do for
an injured skiier on the m ountain, oth
er than keep them w arm and splint
them, and get them down fast. The ski
patrol does this well.

Again this year an Auxiliary commit
tee is collecting surplus or used sup
plies for Medical Supplies for Missions.
W anted are: drug samples, lab coats,
blankets, surgical supplies and instru
m ents, physicians’ desk reference books
(1968).
These item s may be deposited at the
Society office or picked up by request
by phoning Judy or Peggy Haley, chair
man.
Medical Supplies for Missions is a vol
untary group and Bekins has donated
free storage. But the packing and crat
ing cost for 22 tons of goods has a
bill of $1,469.82. A contribution from
the Society would be greatly appreci

Medical Welfare and the
Pierce County Physician
During the past years when the wel
fare and m arginal patients were cared
for at Mountain View, the Pierce County
Doctor felt little responsibility to influ
ence the medical program of the De
partment of Public Assistance. Funding
was limited and paperwork was too
complicated, so that physicians relied
on a single consultant to supervise the
program. In recent m onths the expen
diture of funds has drastically increased
to the point where the next budget
may exceed $80,000,000 for the State
Public Assistance medical program.
There will be very shortly free choice
of medical care selection. Paper work
has been greatly simplified. Easy ap
proval for funded care and drugs, easy
acceptance to the roles of public assist
ance, and attem pts to meet reasonable
and customary fee schedules have re
sulted in expenditures above revenue
intake to the level of $1,000,000 per
month throughout the state. Pierce
County’s monthly share of this deficit is
approximately $100,000.00. The result
of the deficit has been the installm ent
of an austerity program directed toward
physicians and other vendors of care
and consequently interference with the
normal processes of patient care.
There does appear to be overuse of
special drugs with little adherence to
the formulary. Justification in a few
cases for surgery, admission to the hos
pital, and for approval to treat M pa
tients is insufficient to support the re
quest for funding. In m ost cases I have
approved the request, but in the future
there will be more denials if justifica
tions do not improve. Patients who have
a potential surgical disease should be
worked up when possible outside the
hospital. This would save unnecessary
days of hospitalization during a diag
nostic workup and wait for operative
29
scheduling. Utilization of the hospital
by in-patients and excessive hospital
admissions need review. Dr. David
Sparling’s recent review of M ountain
View Geneal Hospital children’s admis
sions over the past five years reveals
that 41.8% of the hospital days were
not justified by medical criteria. His
excellent study is being reviewed at the
State government level. A sim ilar study
of adult admissions needs to be con
ducted. The increased num ber of new
public welfare recipients who are forced
on welfare rolls through hospital pres
sure for paym ent of the bill also needs
review. A survey submitted to the leg
islative council of W ashington State on
hospital costs indicates a need to con
trol hospitals through legislative action
as has been done in New York state
and Rhode Island.
I think it should be quite clear from
the above discussion that the welfare
medical program needs control, and I
think that local control in our own
county may be most effective. I am
therefore asking that the County Med
ical Society appoint a committee to con
sider the following topics:
1. The chief criteria for surgical pro
cedures and m ost im portant the rela
tive priorities of operations;
2. The role of the physician in dis
pensing drugs that have the potential
of misuse;
3. Admission priorities; and,
4. Utilization guidelines in a patient
population which has the potential of
overutilization of the hospital.
5. The control of hospital and De
partm ent of Public Assistance pressures
to place new recipients on the welfare
rolls which create continual financial
deficits.
Your cooperation as a Society would
lead to a solution of this very serious
problem in medical care.

Honorable Floyd Hicks
R epresentative, State of W ashington
House Office Building
W ashington, D.C.
Dear R epresentative Hicks:
T hank you kindly for the recent opportunity you provided m e to
discuss the existing m edical care problem s in the U nited States. Although
you are probably very busy at this tim e I wish you would give m e your
ear for another continuation of th a t discussion.
The M edicare Law h as helped in providing more
care for people over age 65, but it has h ad a serious side
effect. It developed in this fashion. As M edicare per
m itted these elderly patients, including those on W elfare,
a free choice of hospital care the m ajority of them chose
not to go to Mt. View G eneral Hospital. W ith the lower
utilization rates shown at Mt. View, we lost our interne
and resident staff approval. W ith fu rth e r im plem enta
tion of the M edicaid Law Mt. View will lose m ore of its
patients. T he state and county are not able to raise
funds to continue operating this institution even though we are seriously
short of beds. They have already specified th at they can no longer accept
m edical indigents.
Medical indigents are people in the lower incom e group who are
able to handle their problem s w ithout being on w elfare as long as their
problem s are m inor and low in cost, but with hospital rates betw een $50.00
and $60.00 a day, if they have a m edical em ergency they are not able
to raise the funds for hospital care. Most of them , unfortunately, have
no m edical health insurance. It is, then, this group of patients, the
m edical indigents, who are w ithout m eans for hospitalization th at are
becoming an acute problem in the com m unity. W hen Mt. View Hospital
was operated by the county we would treat these patien ts free of charge
from the doctors’ standpoint, and the hospital would hospitalize them at
county expense. In this way they were given help only during hospitaliza
tion and were not added to the w elfare rolls. Increasing the w elfare rolls
would probably be one m eans of solving their problem but it would also
greatly increase the cost to the state and federal governm ent, and again
lessen any incentive they m ay have for rem aining sem i-indpendent.
House of Representatives Bill No. 19 was recently introduced in Con
gress. I believe this bill em bodies m any of the positive elem ents actually
supported by the A m erican M edical Association. It will provide paym ents
when simple analgesics
are simply not enough...

of the premiums for adequate health insurance to people in low income
brackets. As their incomes get higher the government would still pay a
portion of the premium s, and in higher brackets still some deduction
on income tax expense is allowed, as is currently the practice under the
Internal Revenue Code.
The advantages of this program as I see it are that the government
would, thereby, establish m inim um standards for the insurance carriers
as they do under the Federal Employees Act, and thus would eliminate the
sub-standard health insurance companies. Yet it would allow people to
still have a free choice between good, competing companies such as
Blue Shield, Kaiser Perm enante, Group Health, W estern Clinic here, and
others, companies that are now already giving good care for a just
premium. Already existent companies would do the book work and a
big federal bureaucracy would not be needed. I am sure you will give
this m atter your serious study.
Thanks again,
Sincerely yours,
W a y n e W . Z i m m e r m a n , M.D.,

Are You Working More And Enjoying It Less?
Did you ju st get back from a nursing hom e call on some little old
shut-in, and you found him out for a ride and a h a ir cut? And your
stom ach is beginning to burn? And you gave away the last antacid
sam ple to a drop-in patient? Is th a t creating a little
dyspepsia?
Did you just get a subpoena to appear in court next
week “some tim e after two”? As a people’s w itness? And
you have tw enty insurance form s stacked on your desk?
Does th at cause a little eructation?
Did you just finish dictating thirty histories in the
record room, but the recorder didn’t work after the first
sentence? And now your staff privileges have been sus
pended? And your two best friends are retiring? And
they are sending their old patients to you? Are people
increasing faster than doctors? Is th at w hat’s bugging you?
The docto r/p atien t ratio w on’t increase appreciably, but we can
become m ore efficient. We can elim inate adm inistrative detail from our
daily routines. We can spend m ore tim e at the bedside and less in our
automobiles between eight hospitals and fifteen n ursing hom es scattered
over one hundred square miles. W e can consolidate our hospital pa
tients and reduce duplication of com m ittees. We can use m edical assist
ants in m any adm inistrative and professional duties.
Some of the frustration in providing good care in our non-teaching
hospitals derives from the loss of the Interne who m aintained records and
kept close w atch on desperately ill patients and provided m any emergency
services at the request of doctor and nurse. T he In tern e will not be back.
But we need some professional to fill his place. Capable nurses can be
trained to do and record histories and physical exam inations. This could
be an extension of the nursing service or a division of a professional serv
ice under the supervision of a teaching physician. Such a division could
offer m any em ergency services of a m inor and som etim es m ajor nature.
This will be the challenge to the nurse of the future.
Many of us have found th at a questionnaire filled out by the new pa
tient often speeds the interview and brings out new d ata for consideration.
In the hospital such a questionnaire would have additional value. It would
add to the p erm anent record. If it were adm inistered by the nurse, she
would gain greater understanding in her bedside care and would be taking
another step toward her fu rtu re roll in p atien t m anagem ent.
Furtherm ore, m uch of the inform ation m ay some day be placed in
com puters. T hen a p atien t’s past history will be available w ithin m inutes
of the tim e of adm ission. And some day patients m ay be given a tape
recorder (w rapped in a fuzzy blanket) to which they will pour out their
problem s. And w hen you m ake rounds, the p atien t won’t w ant to talk
to you, but to the recorder. For it knows his case best.

THE IDES OF MARCH
I cannot write a poem today,
no m atter how often I try!
Where hundreds of other poets prevailed,
I m ust admit that I woefully failed,
though none has tried harder than I.
It’s the Ides of March, and spring’s in the air,
though cold winds still blow from the North,
My duty as poet, when spring’s in the air,
is to write a fine poem! Behold my despair!
the verses just will not well forth!
I see dainty snow-drops lining the wall
and know what dear message they bring,
while early golden daffodils call:
“Arise, you poets, let’s hear from you all
“a rousing welcome to spring!”
Already some daring young butterflies
have escaped from their wintery lair,
and as risen hemlines reveal shapely thighs,
I follow them longingly with my eyes . . .
No question: spring is in the air!
Soon I shall hear children’s merry chant
under spring sky’s magnificent arch.
Enjoy the spring, children, God’s loveliest grant,
but pity this one poor poet, who can’t
write a poem this Fifteenth of March!
So I talk to my soothsayer friend, and he chides:
“W hat? No love, no laughter, no cheer?!
“Trees bloom, birds twitter, girls smile, and besides,
“you are N O T Julius Caesar, therefore from the Ides
of March you have nothing to fear!”
“Call your muse, oh poet, while skies are still blue,
“for the Ides of April come soon!
“And then, when this my prediction comes true,
“the Collector of Internal Revenue
“will play you a different tune!”

STOUTHEARTED
STEELHEADERS . . .
By
Four
Knoivledgecible
Fishers
The average steelheader catches his
first fish after three years of really
trying. It is hoped the following ob
servations will shorten this tim e for
you, dear reader.
The steelhead is a blight silvery searu n rainbow trout of 4 to 40 pounds on
the way up the river to spawn. His ene
m ies are on top. He is protected by sur
face contour, w ater depth or objects
above or in the w ater, and he knows it.
He takes the path of least resistance as
long as it is protected. In low w ater he
will stay in deep holes. In high w ater
he m igrates and m ay be anyw here. He
m ay travel 22 miles per day but on the
average moves 3 to 7 miles up stream .
He enters the w aters at different
times according to w ater conditions and
his inheritance. In January and Feb
ruary the coastal stream s are pro
ductive, the Hoh and Bogachiel. In
M arch he reaches the upper Sound
stream s, the Skagit; or the inner Colum
bia, the Toutle. In April the lower
Sound stream s become productive, also
the Cowlitz and Q uinault. In May, the
Kalama. July, the Stilequam ish. Au
gust, the Queets. Septem ber, the Klicki
tat and W enatchee and in October the
Thom pson. In December the Puyal
lup???
To keep w arm you need insulated
underw ear, dacron or down. Wool socks.
Insulated boots. Chest waders with a
belt are w arm er and drier. Rain gear,
the best . . . with a hooded parka end
ing below the top of the wader. Wool
gloves with the fingers cut out. Vase
line for the fingers. (N o hand lotions).
You need a spinning reel, open-faced
bail reel type. The bait should be a
red bobber. Start with artificial bait for
the fish h it it h ard er than eggs, and the
soft strikes will be easier to detect.
Snap on an eight-inch drop line with
lead to keep the bait tum bling on the
bottom. If the drop line is 8 pound test
it will be lost before the 16 pound test
line or the 12 pound test leader break.
T he egg leader is about 30 inches long
and the lu re leader is 15 inches. The
rod should have an interm ediate flex,
for you will be w atching the tip to deter
m ine the strike.
T he egg fisherm an stays with a pool
or drift longer th a n the lure caster.
Success m ay come after 20 m inutes of
snags and rebaiting before the drift
gets hot. The artificial lure often hits
w'ith a few casts but then m ust be
moved to seek out new fish. Water
faster th an a slow walk probably won’t
hold fish. T he tail of the drift is pro
ductive, as is the head of a pool formed
by the flow over a shallow sandbar. In
high w ater, short line it, and keep mov
ing. In low w ater, fish the pools. Fish
behind bends, logs or m ajor eddies . . .
or w herever you think a fish could rest,
quietly finning, ju st w atching his diet
float by, protected by 4 to 6 feet of
w ater, or a log, or a surface ripple.
Eggs Produce Seven to One
Over Artificials . . .
By W. L. Sobba, M.D.
It is difficult to put into print why the
hobby of steelhead fishing intrigues me.
Certainly, one gets a thrill at the soft
strike of a steelhead and the sudden
surge of power w hen it realizes some
one has a tag attached.
Our m ost enjoyable trips generally
have been in snowy, cold w eather when
the stream s are essentially devoid of
hum ans. T he surroundings are beauti
ful, tim ber, m ountains, the clear water
and the wild life, elk, m ink, deer, otter
. . . all are active along the quiet river.
Steelhead fishing is a sport th at my
three sons really enjoy together. The
secret here is to place them in a good
BULLETIN o f th e
fishing area. Then they can really have
a “ball”. In our last venture one of
my boys hooked six steelhead, beach
ing four, and another hooked seven or
eight fish and finally landed one.
I’m not quite as serious about many
things as I am about steelheading. For
me it’s an engrossing science and a
very good antidote to the problems of
my profession. So many doctors look
for something to get their mind off
their work. I sometimes have difficulty
getting my m ind off my hobby . . .
and I term it as a hobby reluctantly . . .
it’s really more of a life’s interest to me.
I’ve been steelheading for seventeen
years . . . and yes, I fished for three
years before I caught my first fish. But
when I caught it, it wasn’t an accident
of fate, I knew exactly how and why
I’d caught it, and began to use this
combination as a formula. I soon found,
however, that the variances of the riv
er . . . any river . . . in tem perature,
height of water, speed of water, etc.,
and the river’s changing topography,
have so much to do with catching steelhead, that one simple form ula couldn’t
apply to the whole.
Then I began keeping a log on every
river for the whole year . . . to record
the water levels, tem peratures, rate of
flow, everything that could affect the
river as a habitat for the steelhead the
following year. This inform ation was
not only quite useful, but in itself be
came quite interesting. I found I could
schedule rivers for fish in advance of
the season, and could actually map the
rivers for fish.
You have to know every rock in a
river to know where the fish are. I can
chart the rocks and their movements
from my log.
Water conditions and tem perature
are an essence of steelheading . . .
these are indicated by the log of the
previous year’s tem peratures and wa
ter conditions. The log tells me a lot of
things over many years of entries . . .
17
for example . . . the Humptulips from
Christmas through January always has
fish.

I Get More Hours of Fishing with

Four Putting on Eggs.
By S a m Adams, M.D.
Today we attended a Baptism . . .
an old fishing buddy of mine had asked
me to be the Godfather. W hen the ex
perience was over, I’m sure he was
much relieved and at peace with the
world because I assured him that the
water Father had used had come from
the Bogashiel.
Steelheading is a sport, yes, but more
of a mystery. I’ll talk a lot about the
rivers in a general way, but ask me
where I caught those last fish and m ay
be, and maybe not, I’ll give you a
straight answer. You only pass on so
much of your information.
There’s lots of adventure to steel
heading. Episodes occur each trip. With
steelheading, we fish m any different
ways, and get as m uch fun out of
learning about new rivers as we do
catching fish.
On the usual trip, we’ll go down the
day before and study the river. W e’ll
find out where there’s a riffle and a

pocket of fish, and maybe even try a
few lures the nite before, and test out
special gear. The next m orning we’re
immediately ready to catch fish. This
may blow die m inds of a few guided
groups who come upstream looking for
fish and find us catching them. Even if
they do move into our fishing area, they
don’t know quite what we’re using to
catch them on, and chances are they
won’t catch anything. This is where
science overtakes simple fishing.
I make my own lures. It’s tricky de
ciding when to use a lure and when
salmon eggs will catch the fish. W hen
the fish are spread out, an artificial lure
will cover a greater distance. W hen I
find a hole where I know there are fish,
I use eggs ahead of the fish . . . after
they start biting, they’ll take a lure as
readily as eggs. I will be in the water
a lot longer with artificial lures, and
catch less sometimes, but I feel the end
result is that the most carefully chosen
lure will bring up fish that egg bait is
just not interesting to. I use both, and
when nobody is catching anything on
salmon eggs, sometimes I lim it on my
lures.
Steelhead feeds on the bottom, or
near it, and steelhead gear has to be
banging those rocks a lot. So you lose a
lot of gear until you find something
that takes that kind of treatm ent. Every
steelheader has his own solution, after
the first session, for this problem. The
fact rem ains, however, that a lot of re
placem ent is necessary here, even in
die strongest and best gear. There are
few things awfuller than losing your
last weight halfway up the Bogashiel.
All you can do here is m an the oars
for the rest of the fishing party.
When I first started steelhead fishing
I started fishing the Nisqually. Then
. . . in 1952-1953 it was relatively easy
to catch steelhead in the Nisqually. This
was about the time wc put the gaff

hook to the ra ft and the ra ft exploded
on us. Well, th a t w asn’t really a picnic
afternoon and I guess you don’t w an t to
hear about that.
Steelheading is sort of a continu
ing education, if you have to legiti
mize this sport. You learn som ething
each trip. Every m an has som ething in
which he tries to become totally in
volved. For some reason or another, it’s
necessary. Steelheading is som ething
th at is impossible to do w ithout being
totally involved.

the difference. Sam knows th a t if an
egg is in the river som ew here, where
it doesn’t belong, it’s no t even fishing.
The last ink blot test th a t Sam took
turned out a fish curve, a lu re of some
kind, a log jam . . . H e w on’t see the
things the rest of us do.
This is prim arily a w inter sport. But
it isn ’t im possible to get com fortable in
the cold, not if you have the right gear
. . . down underw ear, w indproof and
w aterproof gear, w aders, Cowichan In
dian socks or insulated boots. Either
walking in the w ater or in a boat, I’ve
never been cold, steelheading.
N ext to ru n n in g the river in a liferaft,
I think the greatest thrill in steelhead
ing is th at m om ent w hen you have your
lim it, and you catch a fish and throw
it in and w atch it swim away. In steel
heading you’re fishing for individual
fish, and som etim es the lim it seems to
be your m atch . . . th a t’s w hen the one
you let go m akes you the w inner.
Pete Piper with proof. A prize for the
first right guess on the ladder.
Spoons Give H arder Strikes,
Easy Storage . . .
By Lou Hoyer, M.D.
Steelhead is an anadrom ous fish.
You’re fishing for a fish th at has no
real home. It is not like a trout in a
stream . You’ve gotta learn w hen the
fish is going to be there, and a lot of
facts about these fish. This gives steel
heading a little zip.
Of 30,000 people fishing for steel
head, about a thousand of these are
real steelheaders. The difference here
is between a fisherm an and a guy who
is totally dedicated to w hat he is doing.
A m edium type fisherm an thinks th at to
catch a salm on you gotta think like a
salm on . . . but a real fiisherm an thinks
like a herring. T here are only a few
m en who can think like a bait. Sam
Adams thinks like a salm on egg. This is
Basically the steelheader considers
him self a cavem an . . . it’s a battle for
survival. Most fisherm en are alone for
m any hours and don’t disenjoy their
own com pany. T he steelheader is chal
lenging the m any odds against his
catching this fish, and pitting his think
ing and his endurance against the n atu
ral evasive and protective qualities of
the steelhead.
Steelheading is not a fam ily recrea
tion. Yes, there are some wom en and
children out steelhead fishing all of
the time. But they’re am ong the 29,000
we m entioned out fishing for steelhead,
they’re not steelheading. If you get w hat
I m ean.
The essence of steelheading is the art
of the conquest. If we didn’t have to
bring som ething hom e, we’d probably
throw them all back so we could have
the fu n of outw itting them again . . .
maybe.
BULLETIN
Eggs . . . Lures . . . Spoons . . .
Even Worms . . .
By Cal Lantz, M.D.
You might not call me a real steelheader . . . I like to catch fish. I don’t
spend as much time on it as these other
fellows: I probably make a half-dozen
two-day trips each year. So I try to go
where the fish are. I’m not quite as
compulsive as the average fisherman.
Like the steelheader, I w ant to learn as
much about a river as I can, but in as
short a time as possible.
I enjoy being out there on the river
. . . in the woods. T hat’s part of it. get
ting close to nature. Some fellows like
to get up on top and look down at all
this . . . some of us like to get in there
with the scenery. If the weather’s op
pressive, it just adds a litde something
to the remote woods river.
I prefer drifting for steelhead, from
a boat or raft. The Skagit, the Ho.
Quinault, Bogashiel, Queets, Humptulips. are all good for drifting. You have
to have your boat under control at all
times, with oars, and sometimes the
river will surprise you. T hat’s a good
portion of the whole thing. You have
to know your river.
And even if you know your river, a lot
can happen very quickly, and your fish
ing party might suddenly become a
contest for survival in near-freezing wa
ter. The water isn’t standing still for
you, and you have to rescue your gear
first. If you have a fish on your line
then too, it’s even more difficult . . .
you have to play the fish while trying
not to drown. It’s a foolish choice, but
you sometimes take the risk there to
keep the fish on . . . and there isn’t
much time to think about it in that cold
water.
Prepare the night before so that you
have your line in the stream as much
as possible. Put your replacem ents in
brown envelopes. A dose of paregoric
might give you an additional 50 casts.

This is a plea for our younger physicians to become more involved
in planning their own futures. We have problems galore— too few
doctors, or too many patients, too few hospital beds, or too many Medi
care patients to fill them, too little time for paper work,
or too many governmental forms to fill out. The Federal
government has passed legislation requiring all people
to receive equal medical care. Does this mean that we
must lower the quality for the majority, so that all who
want care can receive it? These are just a few of the
current problems.
There will be changes in the delivery system of
medical care— this is the specific purpose of Public
Law 89-749. The Puget Sound Governmental planning
body seems in line for a Federal grant to organize this
region. Locally we are supporting the Pierce County Health Council to
help at the grass roots level. They have no ready source of cash to start
a program, thus your Board of Trustees provided a donation for postage
and thePCMB added more to help them get started. They also need
knowledgableadvice. A few of our community-minded physicians are
participating, but we need many more younger physicians to participate
in the planning process. This body has to define the major local problems
so that alternate solutions may be developed. The eventual implementa
tion will affect us all. If our younger physicians become involved now,
they will not have to complain later about the results. Please talk to Drs.
Bondo or Tanbara to determine where you can most effectively participate.

Your patients may not know the difference
As a physician—you know that neither brand name
nonbrand name (generic) drugs are any better than
demonstrated reliability of their manufacturers. The
portant thing, to you and your patients, is not how

carrier. In our 23 years of partnership
there hasn't been a time when there
wasn’t a big earth-moving project go
in g on in our backyard, sideyard, or
front yard, until now. However, he has
recently m entioned that he might dig
out under the new addition, for some
thing.
These soil-removal projects over the
years generally followed a fairly pre
dictable pattern . . . first a huge hole
or trench is dug someplace creating
(1 ) a mudhole and (2 ) a dirt pile,
these usually located where access to
the house is then blocked off.
Our children always preferred play
ing in the mud to more rote recrea
tions and, as adults, they still do. They
pretend to be planting gardens or ex
cavating foundations, but it’s easy to
see they’re just following an inherited
trait.
The Kallsen mudhole and adjacent
dirt pile are perhaps the end result.
At least they seem to be, when six
m onths or a year go by before any
further action takes place. Then an
other hole or trench is usually started
before the prior one becomes a new
porch, a sprinkling system, another oil
tank or whatever.
The peak of our hod-carrying friend’s
creative excavating came when he and
his first son dug the ‘Big Hole’.
It started next to our ancient onecar garage on the alley. The suggested
purpose was to someday build a car
port there with a patio area on top.

First they dug out a lovely old rock
garden, then the walkway to the alley
. . . cutting off access to our playmates.
W hen the rains came the whole works
went into the alley in a series of mud
and rock slides. Undaunted, our hero
continued to dig, knocking out part of
the sidewall to the garage so that the
cave-ins then included the chunks of
concrete.
W hat a wonderful time they had! !
Then came the long hot sum m er of
'67. W hat had been mud turned into
billowing clouds of dust in that early
summer. As the gentle northerly
breezes wafted tons of dust into the
house, the younger children and Mom
sat out on the logs at the beach enjoy
ing the clean air there.
One hot day on our weekly run into
town to play tennis and re-stock the
ground beef, we stopped by the house
to pick up the mail. As we drove up
the hill, it looked like a tornado was
happening in our back yard! Huge
clouds of dirt mushroomed into the air,
the noise was deafening. We ran from
the car through the side gate . . . that
was as far as we could go.
The ‘Big Hole’ was suddenly cavern
ous! Down at the bottom a bulldozer
loaded dirt onto a waiting dump truck.
The yard was swarming with sun
burned workmen. . We stood there
watching all this for a m inute or two
and then they stopped.
“W hat in the pink and blue is hap
pening here?”, we hollered.
“Mrs. Kallsen, we’re building your
swimming pool!”
Well! Hod-carriers have a point,
really.
You can do a lot with dirt-removal

MRS. LONG
Auxiliary members throughout the
nation were saddened to hear of the
untimely death of Mrs. C. C. Long, our
National President. She died of cancer
April 22 in an Ozark, Ark., hospital.
Mrs. Long had continued to work on
Auxiliary projects up to the time of
her death. The AMA News of May 5
reprinted “Ethics for Doctors’ Wives”
written by Mrs. Long in 1967 for an
Auxiliary member orientation m anual.
It is worth reviewing. In her role as
a physician’s wife she became an active
participant in Auxiliary work and be
lieved that “the responsibility of wise
direction in the use of our talents rests
with all of us, with the average indi
vidual as well as with the scientists of
the world.” She felt that the attitude of
the public toward the medical profes
sion is greatly dependent on the atti
tude and behavior of the physician’s
wife. In sum m ing up Mrs. Long’s ar
ticle on “Ethics” she concludes, “It does
not follow that we are a privileged
class, but on the contrary, the commu
nity can expect more of us because
we are a mem ber of a doctor’s family.”
Mrs. Long is survived by her hus
band, Dr. Clifton C. Long and four
children. Mrs. John M. Chenault of
Decatur, Ala., president-elect of the
Auxiliary, has assumed the president’s
post for the unexpired term. Pierce
County Auxiliary has sent a donation
to the American Cancer Society in
Mrs. Long’s memory.
Amid the gaiety of happy talk, spring
flowers, and brightly-gowned Auxiliarites at the May luncheon at Oakbrook
Country Club, President Dorothy Gren
ley installed President - Elect Sherry
Johnson as 1969-1970 head of Pierce
County Medical Auxiliary. Sherry in
troduced officers and committee chair
men of the new regime, each identified
with a glowing carnation corsage.
Dorothy gave a concise resum e of
the year’s accomplishments, emphasiz
ing that the prime goal of com m unica
tion between the members of the medi
cal family and the community had been
adequately fulfilled by this year’s ac
tivities. Dorothy had words of praise
for her board, pin-pointing the specific
achievements of each one. The m em
bership, in turn, at Nadine Kennedy’s
suggestion gave Dorothy a standing
tribute of applause for her gracious
and stim ulating leadership.
Highlights of the year include the
honors accorded Pierce County at the
WSMA convention in Seattle last Oc
tober, namely, a plaque received by
26
B U L L E T IN
Hazel W hitacre in recognition of the
work of h er late m other-in-law, Mrs.
H orace W hitacre, organizer of the
W om an’s Auxiliary in the state; and an
aw ard for th e top AMAERF contribu
tion in the state, $2,175. (T his under
Ginny Sm ith’s ch airm an sh ip .)
Successes included the passage of
Initiative 242, the “Holiday H appiness”
brunch and fashion show, the DinnerDance, Cook-Book tasting Luncheon
and Hobby Show (w hich accelerated
Cook-Book sales), and Mid-Year C onfer
ence, w ith 100% attendance of all
county officers. A nother organizational
success was the “Now, Mr. Lincoln”
program under the direction of Julia
Mueller.
One of Auxiliary’s m ajor contribu
tions to the com m unity is the distribu
tion of the TODAY’S HEALTH GUIDE
ENCYCLOPEDIA to all school districts
in the county, including libraries. Ac
cording to C hairm an Florence Krueger
over 240 books have been placed
throughout the county. Florence per
sonally has contacted school officials
and m ade arrangem ents for the distri
bution of the book in all areas. Each
book contains the Auxiliary book-plate,
a special design done by Mrs. M arlene

The backyard swimming pool here
in the Northwest is still considered to
be somewhat of an idiotic extrava
gance, partly because our climate does
not always look like swimming weather.
P:-
Johnsons adm iring the view.
and partly because most people look
upon a private pool as being a vastly
expensive item. It wasn’t too long ago
a swimming pool was something movie
stars posed by.
In the last ten years new construc
tion methods and improved filter and
heating systems have put the swim
ming pool in about the same category
as the family’s second car was two dec
ades ago. Surprisingly, a good pool to
day costs only a little more than a new
station wagon.
My advice to anyone considering
building a backyard pool is this . . .
go around and look at what other peo
ple have built, find out w hat’s best
about their plans and what h asn ’t
worked out. And buy a copy of Sunset
Magazine’s book on Swimming Pools!
We were so anxious to have the best
backyard plan for our pool I did all
the researching and studying and then
I hired an architect. He came over
and talked to us a lot and walked
around our yard a lot . . . then one
29
night he spotted the copy of Sunset’s
Pool Book on the table and asked if he
could borrow it. W hat you see here is
practically brick for brick out of the
Book, and he didn’t even return my
copy!
We thought a lot about whether or
not it was foolish to enhance our ‘tract
house’ with this pool. We were think
ing in terms of whether the house was
worth it. But we like the house, we
like the neighborhood and we went
ahead and built the pool. It’s actually
m ade it a completely different house,
and much larger, because this whole
backyard is part of the house now.
There’s something especially heartlifting during the grim gray of winter
to look out of the window and see this
beautiful expanse of bright blue water.
Putting in a pool is kind of an u n
nerving experience. There just doesn’t
seem to be any way the workmen can
coordinate their efforts. The pool itself
was only about three weeks in con
struction, but the rest of the job has
taken the better part of a year and
there are still a couple of things yet
to be done.
The first thing people ask you when
they’ve learned you have a swimming
pool is . . . “Don’t you have a lot of
trouble with the neighborhood kids?’
The answer is an emphatic NO. We let
everyone in the neighborhood know

backyard was out of bounds for any

The second thing people assume
about pool owners is that we’re going to

satory blood program. Passed and
signed by Governor. New law effective
June 11, 1969.
BUDGET—$200.00 placed in Univer
sity of Washington budget for estab
lishment family physician curriculum
and $10,000 for cystic fibrosis detec
tion program. Departm ent of Public
Assistance budget totals $492,676,048.
Of the total, approximately 47% is
federal matching funds. Amounts for
vendor services were increased substan
tially. However, at this time exact fig
ures are not available. It is generally
felt that the Departm ent will be able
to update payment rates to vendors but
soaring caseloads indicate the updating
may fall short of the current “usual,
customary and reasonable” rates. If
caseloads do soar and if unanticipated
problems develop, the Departm ent
could be forced to reallocate funds to
keep within its total budget. Every ef
fort will be made to avoid this but it
always is a possibility in this program
and the Departm ent has the fiscal re
sponsibility to reallocate funds and the
legal authority to do so. We can only
hope that it will be unnecessary.
Complete inform ation on the medical
care budget of the Departm ent will be
forwarded to members as soon as it be
comes available.

chiropractors into commercial insur
ance programs failed. HB 771 giving

W hat is a civil disaster and w hat are a physician’s responsibilities
d uring such a disaster?
Avoiding detailed definitions, let us assum e a civil disaster is any
unexpected event causing a sudden large num ber of po
tentially injured persons, such as an industrial explosion,
collapse of a grandstand, a large plane crash n ea r by, a
bomb in a theatre, or a sudden outburst of civil disorder,
such as the K Street affair.
The Society’s Civil D isaster Com m ittee, headed by
Dr. W ickstrom , is preparing a new list of physician as
signm ents to individual hospitals. A few specialists (in
short supply) m ay be assigned as “floaters” to be available
w here needed.
Upon learning of a disaster, the individual physician
should im m ediately contact his designated hospital. If telephone com
m unications are destroyed, he should report in person to his designated
hospital. W hen a physician will be absent from the com m unity, it would
be helpful if he would notify the physician’s exchange as to his where
abouts so tim e will not be wasted in trying to locate him .
Our com m ittee believes th at the physician’s prim e m ission is to
provide care w here care can be effectively given. A few doctors m ay be
strongly tem pted to rush to the scene of the tragedy to provide im me
diate aid to the injured, regardless of the personal hazards involved.
Please report to your proper assigned place w here care can be more
effectively provided. W e already have a physician shortage.
The problem of com pensation and liability for hospitals and physi
cians during such crises has not been solved, but are certainly of sec
ondary im portance. Your com m ittee is attem p tin g to establish guide
lines for these issues. My personal thanks to the com m ittee, Drs. Wick
strom , McGill, T anbara, Link, Hoover, Kemp, Miskovsky, and Staatz. (How
did so m any bone crusher’s get on th a t list? ? )

BULLETIN o f the
POLLUTED!
One bright still day in A ugust, w ith the fog gently resting on
C om m encem ent Bay, a sweet, retirin g young creature of great beauty
entered m y office com plaining bitterly of a plum e of sulphur dioxide
and assorted chem icals w hich h ad settled on h er lawn,
seared her throat, burned h er young dogwoods and left
a w hite ash on h er patio table for h e r children to ingest,
My first principle in the practice of m edicine is to listen,
offer em otional support and reassurance, and to keep
my m outh shut. So I said, casually, “YOU should or
ganize your neighborhood and com plain.” T he next thing
I know, there is a note on my desk. “If Dr. Kallsen re
fuses to be a m em ber of a panel on air pollution, have
him call m e.” So the note w as lost in the shuffle of
charts and the n ext tim e it cam e to my attention was
via radio and TV announcing m y participation.
So . . . to the library. And there I discover a controversy over the
degree of the health hazard. T he source of controversy seems to be
the confusion w hich arises w hen one attem pts to draw conclusions from
health statistics and com pare them to chem ical and particle concentra
tions in the air. A mobile population, some of whom move to an
unpolluted area for health reasons, a varying terrain , m ultiple pollutants
from autom obile, industrial and hom e sources and personal smoking
habits all m ake hay for the statistician.
In spite of the com m ent of the Sm elter Industry pollution expert
th at his grandm other felt burning sulphur cleared up respiratory ills,
there does appear to be a fa ir am ount of evidence th a t sulphur dioxide,
and the acids th at accom pany it, is associated w ith an increase in res
piratory sym ptoms, m orning phlegm and reduced pulm onary function.
The m uch publicized “Killer Fogs” have been in unique geological bowls
or in heavily industrialized large populations of great density w ith both
particulate (d u sts) and chem ical pollution from m any sources. Smoking
habits have been a very real problem in determ ining the effects of
pollution on the m ortality rate of a com m unity. P ersonal pollution appa
rently causes a greater m orbidity and m ortality than does the ordinary
pollution of the cities.
The m eeting was an eye opener. Several hu n d red articulate citizens
gathered to h ear the problem discussed and offered m any constructive
criticism s to our local polluters— with no sm all sincerity. T here was
no visible blood spilled. But I am sure the sm elter people recognized
th a t the com m unity was behind our Pollution Controllers in their suit
to reduce the sm elter fum es w ithin the tolerance set by law.
So let’s join the Izaak W alton League of A m erica or your favorite
conservation organization, arbor society or garden club an d m ake it
possible to breath clean, fresh air on our loveliest days.— R. A.K.

The Sailor Dog
On Savary Island
. A n d T a les o f O th er Sea Dogs
Savary Island is rem ote in the term i
nology of the jet set, as it can be
reached only by sm all boat or sm all
aircraft. It lies two miles offshore from
Lund, B.C., the end of the road for
the Pacific Coast Highway.
The condim ents of civilization . . .
public utilities . . . haven’t arrived there,
but one can be royally accom odated at
the Royal Savary Hotel, w here after
noon tea is strictly observed and the
evening tonic on the veranda is served
with tales of the sea and buried trea
sure.
Savary is an ideal base of operations
for exploring the N orth Georgia Straits
by sm all boat. The w aters of the N orth
Straits are placid and w arm , the m ulti
tudinous islands endless in their va
riety. Some of the m ost beautiful white
sand beaches in the world and beaches
of wall-to-wall oysters are just m inutes
apart on Savary and on its neighboring
islands.
Last m onth ED. and about h alf his
fam ily, including a seafaring poodledog, m ade the trip to Savary to investi
gate rum ors about this w onderful spot.
Our stay at Savary was ju st 2 1/a days,
but we m anaged to cram every kind
of island activity into this short space
. . . fishing, hiking, sailing and explor
ing the surrounding islands . . . all
this in an au ra of leisure bordering on
indifference to the span of time.
The Sailor Dog was always first on
board the boat w hen we set out to ex
plore the islands, always the first on
the beach w hen we put into a strange
cove, tracking the unknow n inhabitants
of these islands.
At n ig h t the Sailor Dog slept with
one eye open seaw ard. At daw n she
ra n m iles along the beach or through
the woods, and som etim es we would
h ea r her far-off trem ulous ‘Yii-yii’ when
she had cornered a seagull or treed a
chipm unk.
ED. h a d n ’t fully studied the details
of such a trip and we h ad no idea that
a certificate of vaccination is required
for dogs crossing the border. She had
apparently been asleep in the back of
the car w hen we crossed the border
going N orth and was unnoticed.
W hen we cam e back, weary and quite
anxious to get hom e, the Sailor Dog
was soundly sleeping on top of a pillow
w hich was on top of one of the children
in the back seat. W e were stopped
by the U. S. Custom s and turned back,
we couldn’t re-enter the U. S. without
the papers for the dog.
Likewise the C anadian Customs re
fused us re-entry.
The only way we could re-enter ei
ther country was to have a vet come
to the border and give the dog a shot
for rabies. This was a sunny Sunday
afternoon, however, and of the eight
vets w ithin range, none was available.
The prospect of sitting and waiting
in the car in no-m an’s-land for the after
noon and perhaps for all night, too,
w asn’t appealing.
We explained to the children that
we were m erely protecting the rights

of an American citizen, not necessarily
violating the law. By appealing to their
patriotism, we m anaged to persuade
them to push the tired Sailor Dog onto
the floor in back and throw a coat over
her.
The Sailor Dog slept on. We circled
around to the far gate of U. S. Customs
and glided through, smuggling one tired
and salty animal back home to the
U. S. A. You could almost hear the roll
of the drums.
The trip to Savary was an unquali
fied success and we plan to return next
summer, with the proper papers for
the dog.
The combination at Savary of rela
tive wilderness . . . with the vast ex
panse of wilderness to be explored, and
the relative creature comforts of the
Royal Savary Hotel, definitely converted
us to the ‘Island-Hopping’ sect of boat
ing enthusiasts here on the South
Sound.
— M
a v is
Ka l l s e n
Since boating in Puget Sound takes
many forms and there are as m any sea
faring doctors, or at least registered
boat-owning M.D.’s here as anywhere
in the world, we offer as this m onth’s
topic the logs of several outstanding
‘sea-dogs’ . . .
The Crabills . . .
We’ve been vacationing in Canada
for fifteen years, mostly going wherever
15
the fish are. W e’ve gone up by car,
we’ve taken sea planes into the lakes
. . . and the last six years we’ve trailered boats up to travel and fish the
Canadian San Juans.
One year we took the boat up from
here, but it was just too big a job going
through Deception Pass on rough water
and we’ll never do that again, at least
not in a small boat.
Our present boat is a 16’ inboardoutboard, easy to trailer and perfect
for fishing or just exploring the islands
up there, as well as being a perfect
lake boat here at home.
We never camp out on our boating
trips because we like to be comfortable.
Our idea of a vacation includes hot
baths and good food. Once or twice
we’ve stayed in cabins up north that
were just a little less prim itive than
camping-out.
The Royal Savary Hotel was ideal for
us. We like an inform al fam ily vaca
tion and the two weeks we spent there
were perfect. The Hotel itself is not
modern but it has a lot of charm.
The proprietors, the Ashworths, and
Andy Rhodes, enhanced the accomoda
tions a great deal, and we highly rec
ommend them as hosts and friends.
The food at Royal Savary was excel
lent, often including clam s and oysters
freshly gathered, salmon caught that
day, fresh vegetables from the Hotel's
kitchen garden. All this prepared ex
pertly by the Chinese cooks. W hen the
dinner bell sounded the hotel guests
instantly appeared from everywhere
. . . from the beach, the water or the
woodwork!
The hotel guests were about half
Canadians and half Americans, mostly
families with young children and sev
eral families of three generations. We
all became friends in the inform al at
m osphere of the hotel.

BULLETIN of the
While the fishing off Savary was at
first slow, every one caught was a real
thrill as we didn't use the custom ary
live bait . . . just flies and lures w ithout
weights. The last afternoon we were
there we caught four really nice salm on,
and certainly hated to leave the next
morning.
We took trips from Savary to S tuart
Island, Mink Island, the Twin Island
and m any others. It was surprising
how m any friends from Tacom a we
m et tucked away in the coves and in
lets, tenting out on the beaches.
In the cove between Twin Islands
there is a m agnificent lodge owned by
a German prince who uses it only one
or two weeks a year. We pulled in to
look at it, it looked like a m irage there
and the caretaker m et us and took us on
a tour of one of the m ost elegant hide
aways we have ever seen.
We m ade the trip from here to Savary
in one day, getting up at three in the
m orm ng to pack the car and our trailered boat. There are two ferry trips,
from Horseshoe Bay and E arl’s Cove,
on the drive to Lund, road’s end on the
Canadian Coast. Lund is the favored
launching point for sm all boats heading
out for the N orth Georgia Straits.
Lund, pictured as a peacfeul village
at the end of the road, is in reality a
completely chaotic traffic jam of cars,
trailers, pleasure boats, fishing boats
and w ater taxis . . . testim ony to the
recent explosive popularity of boat-trailering. It was a beehive of disorganized
activity.
The catam aran from the Royal Sa
vary Hotel m et us at Lund, took on
some of our excess baggage and led the
way for us across the Strait to Savary
Island. As we w ent in to the beach
there we had left all problem s behind.
For two weeks we thoroughly enjoyed

Sixteen Years Before

. . . S ta n D urkin
"Believe m e, m y young friend, there
is n o th in g — absolutely nothing—half
so m uch w orth doing as simply messing
about in boats.”
I have lived in this area practically
since I was born, having been brought
up in Vancouver, B ritish Columbia, and
I don’t think m y history of boat owner
ship is particularly unique. I have run
the gam ut of practically every form
of boat th at floats— and some that
didn’t! I confess th a t m y interest has
been m ainly in the power boat field,
but I have owned sailboats, rowboats,
outboards, inboards, cruisers and prac
tically every form of w ater transporta
tion th at there is.
In the large boat field the m ajor boat
ing splits into two groups. Firstly, the
sailboaters, and secondly the power
boaters. T here is a friendly rivalry be
tween these two groups, as to the ad
vantages of one over th e other, and
there is m uch to be said about both.
But the im portant thing is that, large,
sm all, power or sail, there is some type
of boating for everyone in our area.
It usually starts w ith the acquisition
of a sm all boat, in this area alm ost in
variably a sm all outboard, 15 or 16
feet. This is used to ru n down to the
beach place, or to w ater ski. After this
introduction, and getting the feel of
Puget Sound w aters, the next step is

Warnings: Should drowsiness occur, the dose should be reduced; and if this should
continue, the patient should not operate a motor vehicle or any other dangerous
machinery while taking the drug. Safe use of this preparation in pregnancy or lactation
has not been established, as no animal reproductive studies have been performed;
therefore, use of the drug in pregnancy, lactation, or in women of childbearing age
requires that the potential benefit of the drug be weighed against its possible hazards
Adverse Reactions: Should drug rash, dizziness, flushing, nausea, gastric distress,
drowsiness, depression, edema, inability to void or weakness occur, reduce dosage or
discontinue medication. Reversible jaundice, apparently cholestatic, has been reported
Dosage and Administration: So well tolerated it may be taken on an empty stomach.
Usual adult dosage is 2 tablets three or four times daily. The suggested dosage for
children 5-12 years old is 1 tablet threeorfourtim es daily. Relief of symptoms is often
apparent in 15 to 30 minutes and may last up to 6 hours or longer.

Fishing has never been one of my
joys but every year when we went north
in the cruiser we would dutifully fish

fishing was usually bad, but we always
managed to get enough fish aboard the
boat so that we ate salmon for break

BULLETIN
usually when the children decide that
the motor is not large enough. So, you
go to a much larger outboard motor.
Then, somebody wants to stay over
night. So you start looking for a boat
that you can use to go to the beach
place, that you can use for water skiing,
that won’t be too expensive, one in
which you can stay overnight, and so
on. And before you know it, the thing
has evolved into a situation where you
are deeply involved, and usually have
much more boat than you require (or
can afford).
Then comes the day that you make
your first trip North. All one has to
do is to pull into Roche Harbor any
day of the summer, tie up, and walk
through the dock area, to realize how
totally inadequate the boat that he owns
is. This is one of the finest places in
the area to get “two-foot-itis”. You find
yourself looking at larger second-hand
boats, and rationalizing with your wife
the many reasons why the boat that
you own is inadequate. “Really, honey!
We would be saving money in the long
run.” I am sure that m any doctors have
gone through the same experience. I
know that I did, and over a period of
16 years in this area, I went from a
very small boat to a relatively large,
power cruiser, and am now tapering
off again, back down to a smaller in
board-outboard, for cruising the lower
Sound.
One item that hasn’t been mentioned
is the expense of boating, nor have I
said anything about the hours of work
involved. These are two factors that
one doesn’t consider at first, and believe
me when I say there is very little differ
ence in either of these m ajor factors,
if you are talking about sailboating or
power boating. There is practically no
difference between blowing out a spin
naker or the starboard motor. I have
spent most of the last two sum m ers
“on the beach” with a broken-down boat,
that I don’t seem to be able to get any-
II
body to fix to my liking. One finds
when you get into boating, that you be
come in a very short while, a fairly
well trained m echanic and carpenter.
You get so you can handle fiberglass,
learn to knot. In short, one becomes a
shipwright, junior grade, and works

harrowing experiences, too. Like the
night we were to m eet the Haleys in
Pender Harbor. We had been at April
Point and planned to make a fast threehour run to Pender to meet them. OfF
Westview the wind kicked up from the
Southwest and what norm ally would be
a two-hour run from Westview to Pen
der in our cruiser stretched out to six
hours, in winds up to eighty knots. The
dinghy was broken loose from the boat
and we came very near to broaching
m any times before I was able to work
the boat around Grief Point and up
into calmer waters.
When we finally located the Haleys
in Pender we moored beside them, wellanchored and had no problems. About
a half an hour later when I went to
check the anchor I found that we were
drifting quite rapidly, the two boats
tied together, down Garden Bay. An
unbelievable wind was blowing across
the Harbor. We were fortunate to get
both boats started up before we were
ground ashore.
W hen we had our big boat we used
to cruise up to Vancouver and tie up
at the Bayshore there for several days.
The first time we moored there was
when our boat was brand new. We were
very proud of the boat and the way it
looked with that nice white finish. After
the first night tied up there we awoke
in the morning to find to our consterna
tion that during the night the fish can
nery that used to be next to the Bay
shore had disgorged several tons of
fish entrails into the water and the
waves had flapped fish entrails over the
entire boat.
Some of our favorite cruising is up
in the Canadian Gulf Islands, particu
larly in Montegue Harbor where it’s
wonderful sailing for the dinghy. In the
San Juans our favorite midday stop was
always Sidney Spit where the water is
delightful and warm. Princess Louisa
Inlet, with its magnificent scenery, was
20
another favorite spot for us to stop and
play chess on the dock w ith old Mac,
the self-styled m ajor domo of Princess
Louisa Inlet.
We still have a sm all boat th at we
use to ru n around the Sound and go out
to the beach place, but one of these
days we’ll get back into the big cruisers.
We will have forgotten w hat problem s
and w hat expense the big boat was, and
one can never forget the unearthly plea
sures of the sea and of arriving in the
afternoon a t a strange harbor w ith a
narrow and rock girt passage. Once in
side the harbor, anchored outside of
the swell of the sea, there is the prom ise
of a clear night and a calm m orning
. . . and som etim es a hangover.
T h e B isch o ffs . . .
Last year after one week of boating
in the C anadian w aters on board our 19-
foot inboard-outboard it was apparent
th at we would re tu rn w ith our two chil
dren for a t least two weeks this year,
w ith a slightly larger boat and a more
am bitious itinerary.
It’s easy to boat N orth if you are
w atching your tides. Almost always at
four o’clock in the afternoon it is like
a m illpond in the so-called treacherous
South Georgia Straits. T he m orning we
were ready to leave N anaim o the boats
who w ent out cam e right back in the
rough chop, but it was flat as a floor
th at early afternoon. You just have to
wait.
Last year was our first experience
boating north and we had m ade up a
schedule for our trip. W ith storm
w arnings up it was kind of foolish to
go out on the Straits in a small boat.
W e learned som ething then.
Up in Desolation Sound the water
ways are all fijords, m ostly inland quiet
w aters you can cruise on indefinitely
w ithout h ittin g rough water. But if the
wind is such th at it is coming down
the fijord and funnelled into and onto
a narrow channel . . . then you take
cover quickly.
The area of the N orth Georgia Straits
includes the m ost scenic waterways and
fijords in the N orth Pacific. There are
just innum erable sheltered coves up
there, abundant with clams, oysters
and fish, and infrequently other boats.

BULLETIN
All through the area at intervals there
are summer colonies, logging camps
and settlements where gas and gro
ceries can be obtained.
Our family likes boat-camping . . .
our 20-foot inboard-outboard is just like
a small cabin with bunks for the four
of us and a small galley and a head.
For two weeks we always slept and ate
on the boat and there was no cabin
fever. We got off the boat plenty,
enough to work off steam and explore
those wonderful islands.
Meals were never a chore on our
trip. Our diet on board the boat was
simple, often the oysters and fish
caught along the way, supplemented by
canned goods. We ate out once for din
ner in Nanaimo and had breakfasts
ashore here and there, otherwise it was
camping, and boat-camping is fairly
primitive.
We didn’t suffer any hardships. In
the evening, sitting on a soft beach,
we would have a couple of m artinis.
Our two children enjoyed the trip
hugely and were good travelers. Close
quarters were no problem and they
were always just as curious as we were
to see what was around the next bend
in the next cove. Our children are
small, however, and when they grow
to be awkward and unm anageable per
haps we will have two boats.
For the two weeks on this sum m er’s
idyllic cruise our daily schedule was
quite relaxed . . . we always slept late
and when we got up about ten o’clock
we would go ashore to explore the beach
where we’d anchored, and perhaps dig
clams there or gather oysters.
We would then have a large meal,
perhaps brunch, on the boat.
At around two in the afternoon we
would raise anchor and travel on. At
22 knots you go a long way in a short
period of time, and if we traveled until
six in the evening we had crossed a
large area of water.
We enjoy the boating on the North
21
Puyet Sound and through the San
Juans so much, we would never forfeit
the pleasure of this part of the trip
just to reach the North Straits. There
are so m any wonderful things to see
between here and the North Georgia
Straits, and the boating is so easy if
you just simply consult the Coast Guard
charts, the tide tables and the w eather
forecasts.
Having to put in shore because of
rough w ater anywhere along this route
is a pleasure. Gas, water and groceries
are available everywhere in the San
Juans, as well as congenial com panion
ship. The boat-camper has only to re
lax his schedule in deference to the tide
and currents. This is, after all, the plea
sure of the sea . . . it is not controlled
by government edict.
The opportunity to enjoy travel in
these beautiful inland seas is our won
derful chance to off-set the trials of
our profession. There we can at last
be the m aster of our own destination.
There we can annually renew our hopes
and our dream s for a time again when
the high hopes we believe in are actu
ally the survival of m an.
ITS GROWING
The opportunity to learn about our
patients and their diseases continues
to expand in Tacoma with the addition
of a Chest Conference in the Tacoma
General Hospital Conference room ev
ery second and fourth Wednesday at
1 o’clock. So bring films or patients
and participate in an effort to solve
some of our perplexing chest problems.
Dr. Robert E. Lane is chairm anning
the conference.
A cardiac conference has also been
scheduled for the fourth Tuesday at
7:30 a.m. under the guidance of Dr.
C. L. Anderson.
Now who will volunteer to chairm an
study clubs in Endocrinology and Gastro-intestinal disease?

Instead of Go-Go, let’s Grow-Grow in

Sherry Johnson, in her June 6th letter
to you, extended an invitation to the

SECOND TIME AROUND
I wish I had the proper words to con
vince you of the value of the TacomaPierce County Safety Council’s Defen
sive Driving course. Some of us took
it a year ago when it was sponsored by
the Auxiliary. Those of you who were
unable to take it then have the oppor
tunity offered once more during the
m onth of October, on Thursday m orn
ings from 9:30 to 11:30. The facts
one learns in this course may mean the
difference between life and death for
you and your family. Just a “for in
26
BULLETIN o f the
stance”. Before taking the course I
never bothered to check the tires be
fore getting into m y car, but now I
do. N oticing a soft tire on the left
re ar one m orning saved m e a tiresom e
delay on the Freeway. It could have
saved m ore. One learns to be observant
of any problem developing in the car
and to drive looking well ahead for any
possible trouble spots on the highway.

articles appearing in recent Medical
Journals. In the June PSYCHIATRIC
OPINION an article by Dr. Algert L.

th at the m ajority of accidents are
caused by driver error. Dr. C hapm an

factors, the training, is taken care of
in the Defensive Driving course.

years. Some old inactive m edical rec
ords were destroyed; however, the ma

Should there be any other inquiries
concerning M ountain View General
Hospital, direct these to the Health De

Physicians Needed To
Counsel Teenagers
The D epartm ent of Obstetrics & Gyn
ecology, Division of Fam ily Planning
and Education, U.W., is anxious to de
term ine the nam es of those physicians
w ithin the Medical Society who would
feel free to consel teenagers seeking
contraceptive advice and prescription.
Many calls are received requesting the
n am e of a physician or physicians in
a particu lar locality who would be will
ing to respond to the request for infor
m ation by teenage patients.
A lthough patients will continue to
be referred to the Planned Parenthood
C enter of Seattle, and when appropri
ate to the W om en’s Clinic at the Uni
versity Hospital, it would be helpful to
have a list of physicians who could be
called, on a rotational schedule, to see
patients on a fee-for-service basis.
Those interested physicians m ay cor
respond directly with Ronald J. Pion,
M.D., Director, Division of Family
P lanning and E ducation, 217 Harborview Hall, Seattle.

REMEMBER TO MARK PAGE 13
From the Burglary and Theft Unit,
Tacoma Police D epartm ent:
“If the Pierce County Medical Society
would urge their members to personally
identify the various medical books and
catalogues that are kept in their offices,
this would assist law enforcement agen
cies in not only returning these expen
sive publications if stolen and recov
ered, but would help to pinpoint areas
where some of these people are active.
It could be of value in obtaining con
victions of both burglars and narcotic
addicts who are victimizing the doctors’
offices at this time.
"I'M T'AKlHCr
Yc?0
“We would request that all your
members help us by actively joining in
this program by placing their name,
office address, city, and phone num ber
in the locations given below. All books
such as “Physicians Desk Reference,”
Merck M anual,” d r u g identification
books, etc., would have to be marked.
The m arking could be either a rubber

put on the inside fro n t and rear covers,
also on Page 13. These would be used

M EETING A G H O ST
I m et a ghost last night. No, friends, I am not kidding:
We w ere feasting on sherry and crum pets, m yself and Lord Vincent,
my host,
W hen all at once he appeared from now here, gaunt and forbidding.
The m om ent I saw him , I knew : this m ust be Sir D onald’s ghost.
M idnight h ad sounded, the gates of the ancient castle rattled,
A storm howled around its turrets, the light w ent suddenly dim!
I had ju st glanced at a painting th at showed Sir Donald, em battled,
A knight in shining arm our, handsom e, fearless, and grim.
A knight of Sir F rancis D rake’s crew! They say he had built this old castie
And had cruelly beaten his wife and children for stealing a dime.
They say he was ruthless and m ean, a brute, a drunkard, a rascal,
T h at’s why his bitter wife had him m urdered, a heinous crime!
T h at’s why they had w arned m e in town of the ancient, chilling tradition:
“Stay clear of yon castle! it’s haunted!” I’d heard the villagers boast.
But I had scornfully sneered and laughed at such quaint superstition,
’T il I h eard a rattlin g of bones, looked up, and there stood the ghost!
T ran sp aren t his arm or, I saw his tibiae and fem ora swagger,
His skull was decked with a helm et, his orbits loomed hollow and deep,
W hile from his rib cage protruded the hilt of the treacherous dagger
W ith which his m ost trusted servant had stabbed him to death in his sleep.
You bet your life I was scared as all heck! I felt m y head spinning,
Sweat covered my brow, I shivered and gasped! My terror still waxed
W hen I saw my host, trem bling and pale. But the skeleton, swaying
and grinning,
Just stood there, rattling its bones. So gradually I relaxed
And tried to converse with the spook. I said to h im : “It’s a pleasure
To m eet you. I’m Drucker. And you are the late Sir Donald, I guess.
How nice of you to drop in, and don’t we have terrible w eather?”
He nodded, his vertebrae creaked, which probably signified “yes”.
Emboldened, I begged him : “Sit down and join us w ith sherry
and crum pets,
And tell us a tale of the great Sir F rancis D rake’s glorious cam paign,
Of glittering swords, knights in arm or, of horses and banners
and trum pets,
And how Sir Francis Drake wrecked the A rm ada of Philip of Spain,
BULLETIN of the
31
Of tournam ents, joustings, and feasts, of battles and amorous ventures,
When another Elizabeth reigned, when England was merry and gay!”
But the ghost, keeping m um , rubbed his hands, they rattled like
ill-fitting dentures,
And the grin on his fleshless face displayed neither joy nor dismay.
Indeed, he said nothing, did nothing, just swayed like an unsteady picket.
Had this been the gruesome Sir Donald; I hardly trusted my eyes.
Perhaps he had not whipped his wife, had n o t been ruthless and wicked!
It may have been lack of am usem ent that caused her to plot his demise.
Outside the howling storm drove dead branches past turret and awning.
The lamp swayed, weird shadows danced as the m inutes crept
painfully on.
The spook let his m andible droop, so help me, yes, he was yawning!
And Lord Vincent and I, we both yawned, ’til at last the hour struck ONE.
At that the spook rattled and reeled and became completely disjointed,
A shapeless rubble of bones, he sagged and collapsed on the floor!
I said good night to my host and slowly drove home, disappointed:
First ghost I had ever met, and gosh, w hat a dreadful bore!

How to give credit
without waiting
for your fee.
It works this way. W e’ll supply you with BankAmericard
"payoff authorization cards” which you enclose with state
ments to your patients.
The card allows your patient to authorize you to transfer
your fee to his BankAmericard account — just like any other
purchase. Send the drafts to your Puget Sound National
Bank branch and we’ll pay you immediately. And your patient
can pay us later.
Ask Chuck Holmes about it. He’s the man from BankAmeri
card at LO 4-5819. We hope he’s just what the doctor ordered.

Bleeding Due to Clotting
If your p atie n t is going into shock
an d displaying an increasing num ber
of p etechial hem orrhages, a tru e m ed
ical em ergency m ay exist. For a span
of not over an hour or tw o your p atien t
m ay respond to Intravenous heparinization, corticoids, dextran or whole
blood. Delay m ean s irreversable shock.
Support for this heroic trea tm e n t can
be obtained from the laboratory by a
rapidly decreasing platelet count and
p rothrom bin tim e. A positive p ro ta
m ine clot test and cryoglobulins m ay
also be show n. But don’t w ait for the
results of com plex tests.
D issem inated in trav ascu lar clotting
is being recognized w ith increasing
frequency in obstretrical em ergencies,
bacterial endotoxin shock, crush syn
drom e, dissem inated cancer and hem o
lytic diseases. The basic m echanism is
rapid in vivo clotting w ith shock from
p eripheral vascular occlusion. H eparin
stops the fo rm ation of the clots in the
face of hem orrhage due to the deple
tion of the various clotting factors.
If you feel insecure giving hep arin
to a p a tie n t h em orrhaging beneath his
skin and from various portals, you
would do well to atten d the hem atologyoncology session on Friday m ornings
a t 8 a.m . in the T acom a G eneral Con

CLOTHING NEEDS AT HILLTOP
Dr. George T a n b a ra is asking Auxili
ary m em bers to collect clothing for 3
to 10 year-olds. T his is needed at the
Hilltop Clinic. P resid en t Sherry sug
gests the clothing be b rought to the
October m eeting.
MRS. JOHN CHENAULT
“Two thou san d people are in train in g
in health careers in the U nited States
because of the work of M edical Aux
iliary,” said N ational A uxiliary P resi
dent Mrs. John C henault speaking in
Seattle during the recent WSMA con
vention. A ddressing the A uxiliary dele
gates at the Septem ber 16th luncheon
at the W ashington A thletic Club in Se
attle, Mrs. C henault p raised the o rgani
zation of the three-day m eeting an d ex
pressed her satisfaction w ith the fine
programs of the county auxiliaries. She
particularly stressed the value of the
AMA-ERF p rogram saying th a t these
unrestricted fu n d s can be used by the
Deans of M edical Schools to assist
young people in m edical careers, thus
aiding m any who would be unable to
continue their studies.
Belle C henault is a w arm , persuasive
speaker whose e n th u sia sm for A uxiliary
projects is tran sferred to h e r audience.
That she sym pathizes w ith the prob
lems of young people is evident w hen
she spoke of A uxiliary’s p ro g ram this
year w hich is “p u ttin g accent on
youth.” She urged W ashington w om en
to cooperate w ith oth er organizations
in health education p ro g ram s th a t help
young people.
“One of the problem s of youth,” said
Mrs. C henault, “is h aving to live with
a d u lts.” She suggested all read the ex
cellent p am phlet, ADOLESCENCE FOR
ADULTS, p u t out by Blue Cross.
A nother group th a t Auxiliary should
assist are w h at Mrs. C henault calls “n u
clear fam ilies.” T hese are young fam i
lies in the com m unity who move often
because of job tran sfe rs, and are often
great distances from hom e ties. Auxili
ary m em bers have a duty to assist these
young fam ilies, according to Mrs. Che
n au lt. T his can be done by offering
friendship and help w hen needed.
O ur N ational P resident urges th at
all m em bers u n d erstan d A uxiliary’s po
sition on sex education in the schools,
w hich it endorses. T he qualifications
for A uxiliary’s endorsem ent is th at sex
education be taught by teachers of good
background and training, have the sup
port of the com m unity, and as p a rt of
the H ealth-E ducation course.
Mrs. C henault concluded her talk
by rem in d ing us th a t October is m em
bership m onth, a tim e for renew ing
m em bership in our county society.

MOUNTAINEERING
M ountaineering is m any things to
many people. It m ay be the soft p in k
ness of the pre-dawn on a snowy sum
mit to one; the b lazin g ruby sunset from
a lofty vantage point to another. It is
the fields of lupine, the b righ tly tipped
Indian paint brush in the high alpine
meadows, the tum ultuous stream s cas
cading restlessly on their descent to the
sea, the beautiful sym m etry of the al
pine fir, the frozen lakes in Ju ly , the
frosty dusting of new snow, the h an g
ing glaciers, the crystal-cleam ess of the
welcome tarn, the jagged peaks and
awesome depths, the smooth outcrop
ping polished by ancient glaciers, the
broad hogbacks and the razor sharp
ridges, the scarlet vine-m aple, the sea
of clouds below, the rain forests w ith
their shaggy beards, the m agnificent
bull elk, the w h istlin g m arm ot cooling
its belly on a rap id ly va n ish in g snow
drift, the gracefu l deer, the b ashful
goat, the frie n d ly C an ad ian ja y eating
from your outstretched hand, the puffy
cumulus over the H ig h D ivide, the hon
15
est sweat of 1000’ per hour vertical as
cent, the w arm glow of cam p fire, the
cam araderie of friend s from all w alks
of life. It is a ll of this and more.
It ’s really a m ulti-faceted pastim e
that can be engaged in to any degree of
involvem ent you desire. L ite ra lly , you
can go from zero to 90 degrees— from
trail h ik in g to technical rock-clim b in g,
and anyw here in between.
W e are h app ily situated w ith in sight

I have found it to be a great “fa m ily ”
affair. It provides a cohesiveness that
few other sports can m atch. In this
day of the “generation-gap” this is most
welcome. W hen your youngsters ob

they aren’t p articu larly im pressed; but
w atch in g the old-m an negotiate some
rocky chim ney does m ake an im pact.
Th e n ights spent w atching the meteor

aren’t soon forgotten. T h e trek home
h asn ’t begun before one of the boys
pipes: “W here are we going next week,
D a d ?”
It ’s great for your p hysical condition

cia lly after an exhau sting haul up R a i

and it really does build stam ina. Some

A poem, worth repeating, appeared
in the B u lle tin ten years ago. N adine
Kennedy was w ritin g the A u x ilia ry
notes then so perhaps this is from her
pen . . .
Are you an active member.
T h e kind who would be m issed —
Or are you ju st contented
T h a t your nam e is on the list?
Do you ever w ork on committees
T o see there is no trick.
Or leave the work to ju st a few
And talk about the clique?
Come to m eetings often
And help with hand and heart;
D on’t be ju st a member
But take an active part.
T h in k about it! Also n oting nam es
of committee chairm en in 1959 we
find m any of this year’s roster. Some
of them are: Helen Florence, Dorothy
Grenley, R u th Brooke, Dee W ickstrom ,
M arion Doherty and N adine Kennedy.

THE M ALPRACTICE PROBLEM
T h e costs o f m alp ractice in su ra n c e fo r p h y sic ia n s h a s been d ou b lin g
alm ost every other year. T h is cost in tu rn h a s to be passed on to the
patient by h ig h e r p h y s ic ia n s ’ charges. It is h a rd to believe that the q u ality
of m ed ica l p ra ctice h as deteriorated to su ch a degree.
In su ra n c e e arn e rs report that there h a s been an in
crease in the n u m b er o f so-called n u isa n ce cla im s. These
are su its filed m erely w ith the th o ugh t o f gettin g some
k in d o f out-of-court settlem ent. H ow ever, because of
the in crease in n u m b ers an d the in crea sed costs to the
in su ra n ce carrie rs they ca n h a rd ly be considered an y
m ore as n u isa n ce c la im s. In m ost P ro vin ce s o f Canada
they do not have a co n tin g e n cy fee system fo r the
law yers, and there are very few m alp ra ctice cla im s filed.
In this co u n try the co n tin gen cy fee system , w h ich is
part of the ethics o f the le gal pro fessio n, p e rm its the la w y e r to gam ble
and o ccasio n ally he g a in s a good, b ig c h u n k of m oney.
A Seattle attorney rep resen tin g T h e N a tio n a l A sso cia tio n of C la im
a n ts’ Attorneys states that doctors are u n w illin g to give in fo rm atio n to
attorneys, and in order to obtain su ch in fo rm a tio n they have to file a
m alp ractice suit action. T o help solve th is p roblem the K in g County
M edical Society h as established a Pre-R eview Co m m ittee w h ich is open
to law yers to exam ine h o sp ital records and other m a te ria l to determ ine
if there is tru ly grounds fo r suit. T h e ir experience th us fa r, they believe,
h as done m u ch to lessen the n um b er of actu al su its filed. W e hope to
have the w o rkin gs o f this Com m ittee e xp la in e d to u s in the near future
to determ ine if we, also, should establish su ch a Com m ittee.
C a lifo rn ia ju st lately h as attacked the p roblem in another fashion.
T h e y passed a law re q u irin g the p la in tiff to post a $500 surety bond to
show that he is re a lly sincere in filin g h is suit. A p p a re n tly the $500
surety bond is forfeited if a le g a l study reveals that there w as no grounds
fo r the suit, or if it w as filed m erely as an attem pt to m a lig n a p h ysician .
I f our W ash in g to n State Le g isla tu re w ould p ass a s im ila r la w then p la in
tiffs attorneys here w ould be m u ch m ore in c lin e d to use a Pre-Review
Com m ittee, and establish fa cts before filin g a suit. I f the proper tech
n ic a l b ackground can be developed, and if our lo ca l B a r A sso cia tio n looks
favo rab ly on su ch a Com m ittee, we sh a ll attem pt to e stab lish it. I f it
fu n ctio n s properly it w ould aid in se ttlin g those su its w h ich are just,
but w ould also help elim in ate the filin g of those su its w h ich are a pure
n u isan ce and le g a lly u nju stified.
A p h y sicia n s Code o f E th ic s prevents h im fro m ta k in g a co n tin gen cy
fee in either the treatm ent or in le gal actions re g a rd in g h is p atien ts’
in ju rie s. T h e ethics of the la w p rofession com pletely accepts th is con
tin gen cy lee system and thus their e thics in th is m atter are entirely
different fro m ours. It is so h ig h ly e ngrain ed that it is d o u b tfu l i f the
co n tin gen cy fee system w ill be altered in less than two or three gen
erations.

The More Things Change,
The More They Remain the Same
C o n tem p latio n o f the n a ve l is not co nsidered a co n stru ctive pastim e,
but w ho can resist a 25th a n n ive rsa ry? L a s t m o nth I w in ge d b a ck to m y
m ed ical o rig in s and listened to m ost-esteem ed cla ssm a te s tell o f their
experiences as D e a n s, D ep artm en t H e ad s, M ed ical re
searchers, revered co m m u n ity lead ers an d broken-down
grand paren ts.
R E L E V A N C E is the b ig w ord in present-day educa
tion. T o g a in it some schools are m o v in g their students
in to the offices of co m m u n ity p h y sic ia n s as a part of
their c u rric u lu m , w ith the lo ca l p h y sic ia n se rvin g as
p ro fe sso r— w ithout p ay, n a tu ra lly . One school is estab
lis h in g itse lf as the p h y sic ia n to its co m m u n ity. T h e y
an ticipate p ro v id in g a com plete m e d ica l service to a
co m m u n ity o f 100,000 people ad jace n t to the U n iver
sity. Student p h y sicia n s w ill fu n ctio n at a ll le ve ls o f the system — in the
h ospitals and in co m m u n ity offices. T h a t som e p h y sic ia n s would be
d isplaced and the established re fe rra l p atterns d isru pte d w as recognized
and accepted as a cost o f developing a m ore so cially-co n scio u s p h ysician .
(W h o m ig h t fit in to the m a n y re g io n al m e d ica l centers planned for our
n a tio n ? )
T h e re does seem to be a m ovem ent fro m 7 5 % sp e cialist to 75%
generalist p ro d uctio n — at least in the State schools. A procedure to ex
pedite this is to h ave the student opt fo r h is sp e cialty as early as the
F re sh m a n year and have h is c u rric u lu m geared to th is sp ecialty w hich
in clu d e s G eneral P ractice. T h e choice is not irrevocab le, b ut it does tend
to crysta llize h is thoughts at a tim e w hen the fa m ily p h y sic ia n m ay be
a prim e influence.
D u ratio n of m ed ical tra in in g h as been decried fo r years. T h is , too,
is being shortened. Som e colleges are re tu rn in g to the W W I I continuous
session w ith gradu atio n in 3 years. F o u r ye ars of p re -m ed ica l train in g
are still advised. T h is leaves m e rig h t w here I started w ith 2 years of
G erm an and 1 quarter of Eye.
Most of those attending th is cla ss reu n io n seemed to agree that kids
now are sm arter than their parents. I w ondered a little w hen I listened
to a su rg ica l professor tell o f the problem s in h a n d lin g som e H ip p ie In

BULLETIN
P arkin so n ’s Law * seems to apply w ith special force to the university.
We were escorted through m any rooms form erly devoted to bed care in
my day, and now devoted to electronic gear; I m ean research. One de
partment head m entioned that he now had 30 fellow s. (Y o u guessed it,
‘Research Fellow s’.) A n old buddy and I chatted about old times, while
5 stenographers typed m errily in h is outer office. T h a t department in m y
student days had 1 secretary.
Înstitutions grow w ithout regard to need but rather according to the
infusion of money.
T h e Dean pointed out that 80% of the school’s fu nd s were derived
from research grants and 2 0% from the state. Most of the research
grants originated at the federal level.
Th e growth w as am azing. Enorm ous adm inistration and research
buildings, hospitals and dorm itories had sprung up everywhere there.
I asked how m any students were being graduated. Th e answer was 160.
Twenty-five years ago m y class graduated 145.
After the sessions, I w alked through the M all and had the same old
thrill of belonging to a most im posing cam pus, past Northrup Auditorium
where I slept through m any sym phonies under the baton of world fam ous
conductors.
W hen I reached the M useum of N atu ral H istory, I sat in front of
the Pipestone p rairie scene w ith H iaw atha and C a tlin , to watch the
prairie chickens strut and the owls stare back at me. A sm all herd of
buffalo picked their w ay down the red b luff and the fa lls were in fu ll
flow. I remember standing on those rocks 40 years ago beneath a dark
threatening sky liste ning to the gurgle of the water over the falls. The
water still gurgles, and the rocks are still there. You can reach them
on paved w alks. A loudspeaker hidden in the w alls of the ancient quar
ries blares forth the In d ian lore. A p arking lot provides a convenient
access where the prairie chickens once boomed. A large b uilding with
filmed versions of In d ia n culture covers the area where tepees once stood
next to the quarries 40 years ago. Th e peace pipes are probably now
made in Japan .

Brown's Farm
In the fa ll of each year m y thoughts
turn to open fields, the w h irrin g w ings
of startled ducks, guns and dogs. The
relative value of breeds of dogs is the
subject of m uch debate as is the type
of gun or size of the shot best suited
for h un tin g on the farm . F o r me, m y
side-by-side, 20 gauge, w ith No. 6 or
No. 4 shot, plus a good Springer Span
iel is the best com bination. These ar
guments take place in a crude shack
while you are exch an gin g tennis shoes
for hip length rubber boots and em pty
ing a box or two of shells into the side
pockets of your h u n tin g coat. I usu
ally feel rather m iserable in the pre
dawn ch ill, but I w ouldn’t m iss the
Saturday m orning hunt for anything.
Brown’s F a rm occupies the southern
half of the N isq u a lly F la ts, from the
Freeway on the south, to the dike and
tidelands on the north and from the
M cAllister Creek on the west to the
N isqually R ive r on the east. It encom
passes 1700 acres. There are a n um
ber of areas of m arsh y land w ith
sloughs, cat tails and m arsh grass. Th e
sloughs are quite long and boggy so
that there are a num ber of cat w alks
for crossing them. It is a constant and
losing struggle to keep some of the
sloughs free of cat tails. D u cks m ust
have open water. T h e roads are m erely
two tracks w in d in g around on the
higher ground. W hen w inter rain sets
in, ponds appear in the lower areas.
One year w hich w as especially wet, the
entire northern third was under a foot
of water. T h is im proves the h unting
as ducks prefer “ra ftin g ” on fresh wa
ter and “tip ups” can feed on the grass.
The an im al and bird life on the farm
is a wonder to see; 150 species have
been counted. There are num erous fox,
a few coyote, rabbits, m uskrat, skunk
and others. One sum m er, thirty-two
fox were trapped off the fa rm — don’t
15
ask me why. One sum m er I saw six
coyote that had been poisoned— again
I can ’t find the answer. T h e num erous
an im al life and bird life keep them
selves well fed and in balance. There
are m yriads of field m ice, and circlin g
owls and haw k who are busy with
that population. Clouds of black birds
and large flocks of snipe rise up and
settle down.
H u n tin g can be excellent, depend
in g on the weather and the northern
fligh t of ducks. We feed up to two
weeks before opening day w hich in
sures good h u n tin g the first two week
ends on the lo cal birds. Then there
is a drought until the northern birds
arrive some time around the first of
December. I have seen flocks of h u n
dreds of ducks spend the night on the
farm . I f the weather is clear and still,
they rise with a w hir at the first shots
and stream out to the salt water where
they spend the day in huge rafts. But
give us a high wind and rain , and back
they come with excellent shooting. It
is all pass shooting and decoys m erely
b ring the birds a little lower. The
northern flight is composed m ostly of
W idgeon followed by Teal, P in T a il,
M allards and Canvass Back. Th e geese
are unpredictable and tend to have
“passed through” by November.
The farm began somewhere at the
turn of the century as a donation claim
to the Deschazer fam ily. The Brow n’s
took over somewhere around 1905. It
then became known as Brown's Farm .
The y made it a going concern. They
had cattle, horses, crops of oats, hay,
and corn. In addition, they had a gar
den plot with poultry and orchards.
T he y established a cream ery, dairy,
and p ackin g house. It was all well
run. However, it was taken over by
creditors who ran the farm u n til 1955
when the present owner purchased it.
Since then there has been a steady de
terioration in fa rm in g effort, probably

The Moment of Truth
D r. R ig o s and b a r

“N o w
tra ilin g
R ice , the
T h e n he

we got the p le a san t job of
the w ounded g r iz z ly ”, D ic k
h a lf breed guide, said quietly.
m uttered sa vag e ly, “Son of a
D ic k and I were sta n d in g in an un
nam ed v a lle y alo n g the C h e sta lin a R iv
er in C e n tra l A la sk a , south and west
of F a irb a n k s . O u r present predica
m ent w as m y fa u lt sin ce I ’d wounded
the bear. A w eek p re vio u sly I ’d killed
a la rg e m oose, 5 6 ” spread, and had de
cided to w atch the k ill for the grizzly
that w as ce rtain to show up eventually.
B ears often have a re g u la r 20 m ile cir
cu it, m ore or less, and no g rizzly can
p ass the fra g ra n t arom a of the ripe
moose carcass.
T h e m oose (a c tu a lly we had re
m oved quite a bit of m ea t) was on a
m o u n ta in side wedged against a
dow ned tree. W e had cleared out a
few bushes in order to see the carcass
fro m 180 yard s aw ay where there w as
a sm a ll area that we could approach
q uietly and dow nw ind. E ve ry m o rning
fo r the p ast 5 days we had ridden
fro m our spike cam p 3 m iles and then
h iked a h a lf m ile to our observation
post, a rriv in g ju st after daw n. W e con
cealed ourselves, w atched for 2 hours
and then quietly le ft, repeating the
p erfo rm ance in the e arly evening and
le a v in g at d usk. T h is w as our 6th
m o rn in g sittin g q uietly on the frosty
grou n d, m e n ta lly c u rs in g the mosqui
toes and flies. T h is m o rn in g , as the
one before, we h ad observed a black
bear m e ssin g around in the entrails,
but I w anted a g rizzly so I h ad n ’t fired
the rifle. A fte r 5 days, the sitting or
ly in g on d am p, cold ground w as losing
its glam ou r. A ll w as quiet except for
a few birds and the h u m of the insects.
S u d d e n ly the quiet w as broken by the
rustle o f bushes and the sn ap p in g of
tw igs an d b ran ch es and off to one
BULLETIN
side about 100 yards cam e this golden
bear ch argin g up the m ountainside
with no attempt to conceal h im self. H is
haste and la ck of caution apparently
was because of the b lack bear that he
must have sm elled. T h e b lack bear
knew the facts of life and he exploded
down the m ountain side, passing fa irly
close to us.
The g rizzly prowled around in the
bushes m akin g certain that he’d driven
away all competition for the food. Then
he approached the carcass at a 45 de
gree angle to me, an g lin g down h ill.
There was a clear area of about 15 feet
with the moose in the center against
a log about 1 foot in diameter. A s the
bear’s shoulder cam e into view I
touched off a shot ju st behind it. He
wheeled around and I fired again. He
jumped behind the moose and I fired
again. Then he was gone.
The forest went silent — nothing
moved — no birds sang — even the in
sects seemed to quiet down. A fter sev
eral m inutes, durin g w hich we were
both standing w ith rifles ready, D ick
made his statement. We discussed the
technique briefly, separated about 50
feet and slow ly clim bed the m ountain,
angling sideways away from the moose.
When we were well above the area we
angled back u n til we were directly
above and then slowly and intently
came down to the carcass, m oving one
at a time w ith the other w atching and
protecting. We reached the carcass and
found some blood and h air and we
could see that the bear headed back
into the buck brush. T h is brush is
about 5 feet high and fa irly dense, lim
iting visib ility to about 10 feet. Now
we had no choice but to go after the
bear.
17
N atu rally m y emotions and feelings
were all m ixed up. I said, “D ick , this
is a helluva way to m ake a livin g . I ’m
sorry.” He said, "W ell, let's get the
dam n th in g over."
So into the brush we went, with every
sense keyed to the best. After about
5 m inutes and 100 feet we found the
bear, dead! M y first two shots were
both fatal and both placed well, but a
bear is a very difficult an im al to stop
im m ediately.
Since then I have taken other bear,
in clu d in g a huge brown bear over 10
feet long that charged me, and none
has been easy. I read in the outdoor
m agazines how this huge bear and that
were stopped cold with one shot. T h is
has not been m y lu ck — every bear has
taken at least 2 good shots to put down.
The A laskan brown bear mentioned
above charged when we were standing
in snow up to our thighs on the barren
slopes of Mt. V eniam nikoff overlooking
the Bering Sea. At 60 feet I turned
h im away by a shot just between his
eyes but he still went for 100 yards
and 3 more bullets.
H u n tin g big bears does have an ap
peal. Now when I touch off the first
shot I know how the m atador feels —
it's the moment of truth. You are com
mitted. W hen you shoot that bear the
code says you m ust finish him . You
say to yourself, “W hat am I getting
into now? W hy am I asking for
trouble?" Maybe the danger, the ela
tion or some prim itive urge is the
answer. But with civilization destroy
in g the habitat, not m any more people
w ill have the opportunity to ask them
selves these questions.

husbands are away or are not avail
able because of study schedules. W ith
a present m em bership of 6,000, it has
grown into an im portant service organi

More Tales
D u rin g m y youth I practiced briefly
in northern M innesota. I had lived in
bird country so I w as totally inexp eri
enced but anxious to get into the field
after B IG G A M E. U n h app ily m y lot
was to be on ca ll at the local hospital
opening day.
Th e telephone ran g w hile it was still
dark that first m orning. Please come
down and pronounce the first casualty,
shot by a friend who thought the vic
tim ’s flashlight was the lum inous eyes
of a h id in g deer.
V ictim num ber two arrived in m id
m orning w ith a fragm ented tibia from
a bullet w hich ranged up through his
heel to knee and out to return into his
chest. T h e w ay this is done is to drop
your rifle butt to the ground when you
clim b down from a tree stand.
V ictim num ber three was p laying
dominoes when he received his bullet
in the calf. He had returned late to
his cabin and several friends were al
ready there w ith then guns stacked up
against the side of the cabin. He stacked
his gun beside theirs and walked
around the corner of the b uilding just
in time to be the recipient of a fusilade,
as the guns slid to the ground.
T h a t afternoon I stopped in at the
hardware store to p ick up some shot
gun ball and listened to a conversation.
A white faced m an was askin g for red
pants and the store clerk w as pointing
out that he was already dressed legally
with a red jacket. W hite Face then
told the story that he was w alkin g
29
through the woods a few m inutes be
fore and pushed aside some pine boughs
to face a rifle aimed at his chest. He
had to talk fast to convince the hunter
that he was not a deer. W hen the
rifle was fin a lly lowered the m arks
m an told of w atching the victim ’s legs
com ing through the brush just like a
deer.
So at the next chance I went into
the woods, and I stood behind a tree
in the fashion of the day. Everywhere
I looked a deer seemed to be peeking
back at me. Branches looked like ant
lers, or was that really a deer. M any a
log was placed under the bead of my
gun. to be given a reprieve when the
ligh t improved a little to allow better
identification. As m y eyes became ac
customed to the ligh t I counted five,
count them, five red coats w ithin shoot
in g distance of m y gun. That is until
I realized I was in range of five guns,
and then I started to whistle like crazy
as I backed out of the valley.
