...large part of an ordinary doctor's practice. But an ordinary doctor does not know much more than his mother or Boy Scout leader taught him about such minor surgery. Medical schools pay little attention to the subject, medical journals less, medical conventions practically none at all. This gap in a doctor's education made the president of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Eugene Hillhouse Pool of Manhattan, complain recently. Partly because of Dr. Pool's complaint, mainly because he has a fine, two-fingered feel for medical necessities, Editor Thurston Scott Welton of the American...
Miss Quis (by Ward Morehouse; Vinton Freedley, producer). Liz Quis (Peggy Wood) is a worn spinster who does housework for most of Fancy Gap's prominent townsfolk, including fiery old Colonel Selby, veteran Indian fighter.

For in Toronto, the gap between beer and champagne may be extremely narrow and is frequently bridged on the pungent name of a northland mine. Last year the best bet among the pennies was O'Brien Gold which soared from 34? to $14. In the past few years MacLeod-Cockshutt climbed from...
Further, as a stop-gap solution, to be used until University Hall slices college admissions to House capacities, the House Masters might well allow college dormitory men to eat in the dining halls. Assignment of these outcasts to the house dining halls would mean only an additional twenty men to each one, and, according to University authorities, this would not overtax their facilities. Leading a mouse-like existence, a lonely round from one hash house to another, these excluded men appreciate more than anyone else the opportunities offered by the Houses simply because they have missed them. Life on this...
