Daily papers recently carried a story about a German father who had a great deal of trouble naming his daughter. It wasn‘t that he couldn‘t decide on a nameâ€"he had one all picked outâ€"Gerdi. He had his trouble with a burocrat. The burocrat in g:arge of the local branch of what must compare with our county clerk‘s office, refused to register the name. He said that there was no such name, therefore the fathâ€" The Staff of the Highland Park Hospital Foundationm has invited the Lake County Medical Society to a special meeting on January 9th to be held in the new meeting room at the. Hospital; the main purpose being to discuss and reâ€" view the usesâ€"of the new wonder drugs, ACTH and Cortisone, that have had such a wide application in the treatment of arthritis, canâ€" cer, and infectious . diseases, . as announced by Dr. Douglass Boyd, The story seems funny to us because we can‘t imagine anyone presuming to tell us that we have to pick our children‘s names from an official list. Well, at one time, there were a lot of Americans who could not imagine.anyone telling them that they couldn‘t have a glass of beer with lunch if they wanted it. However, someone did, and although Prohibition was repealed after failing to help anyone except the bootâ€" leggers, the burocraticitch to mind everyone else‘s business has abated not at all. Maybe some of our presentâ€"andâ€"proposed laws_will prove to be as futile as Prohibition; perhaps others will be as important as the antiâ€"trust laws. In the last analysis, that is for the people, not the lawmakers, to decide. We hope. Lake County Medical Society To Meet At Highland Park Hospital mittee, Medical Staff, Highland Parkâ€"Hospital.

It is a very pointed demonstraâ€" tion that any governmental body, being made up of human beings, has an uncontrollable itch to mind every one else‘s businessâ€"right down to the most minute detail. They always have some sort of halfâ€"baked exâ€" euse, too. The German burocrat‘s excuse was that he had an "official" list of German names, and the name The subject for discussion is entitled, "The Clinical Uses and Complications of ACTH and Corâ€" tisone".
