It should be pointed out that some of these areas of nedical serviee, notably, care of mental ill- ness and prevention and core of tuberculosis and other communicable diseases, are those in wbieh progress has been outstanding and for which the United States is known favorably throughout the world. Will a comprehensive health insurance system mean regimentation of patients, doctors and hospitals? A system of medical care insurance, according to the board, can, andshould, be so designed as to avoid these disadvantams. By providing services to those who need them, without fear of the costs, the quality of service may be im- proved. For the doctors and hospitals, their income may be increased and made more secure. If, at th.e sane time,medical education research and the building of hospitals can be financially aided, then progress in medicine and improvement in national Good nutrition in early years lays foundation for life time of health health can be greatly hastened.

The second black was rolled on Sunday, April 29, and the windup on Tuesday, May 1. The total pins rolled by each rilt determined the winner. The keen interest show, by members of the two local unions and their employers was manifested by large attendance on each night. Local news.mpa..rs carried articles of the match in their sport columns. It is President Brown's hope that next year travel restrictions will be relaxed, thereby permitting the teams to meet each other in some midweston city. Represents- tives of Milwaukee and St. Luis urge, other local unions of the 1. B. B. W. and chapters of N. B, C. A. to organi, hbowaing ]eagues and invite them to participate in an annual tournament. The Milwaukee and St. Louis leagues have been in ,xistence for a number of years. No finer means of building good labor relations can ha utilized than that of bringing together both employee and employer through such an activity. Here's hop- ing it will continue to grow. The E. J. Brown trophy must be won by , city three times before it becomes the perma- neet poss~asion of those that compete. Local unions desiring to enter the tournament next year should contact the International Office by January 15, 1946.
