Many doctors - surgeons especially - operate on the principle of charging the patient according to his ability to pay.

At best, he says, church schools can merely develop the spirit of faith that must be first instilled in the home...
...varsity needs some hefty sophomores to back up to Ron Wilson next year, and weightmen Ajootian and Benka look like the best bets. Tom Callahan, who reeled off a record-breaking time of 2:16.3 in the 1000-yard run indoors, and Bernson, who holds the freshman spear-throwing mark, will probably also make the trip upstairs...
