Have you or a member of your family had trouble in getting a hospital or nursing home bed recently - even in an emergency situation? Is it difficult to schedule, an appointment with your doctor or dentist without a long delay. These health questions — among many others — that are plaguing people all over the country are now under study in Georgia by a 25 member "blue ribbon" advisory council, appointed in November by Gov. Lester Maddox to provide board, long range state health planning. Their efforts will auguent, but not replace, ongoing health planning activities of the State Health Department. A medical member of the newly formed group, Dr. Tom Anderson of Atlanta, told his fellow council members at their initial organizational meeting last week, "What we have to tackle now are problems that we should have faced years ago. The work do probably won't show any visible results until the 1970's," he said, "but I'm glad we're finally facing the problems head on.' The new advisory group is made up of six professional members six-agency representatives — including state Family and Children Service director William H. Burson and Jack P. Nix, State School Superintendent, but is predominantly "health consumer" oriented. Private citizens, representing the actual users of medical services and facilities in the state, comprise the majority council membership, 13 The members, were appointed for Staggered terms of from one to three years. At their initial session, held at the state health building in Atlanta the group named State Heal Department director Dr. John H. Venable "temporary chairman" pending establishment of official by laws and the adoption of an organizational structure. A permanent chairman from within the council, will be elected at a later date. Dr. Venable expressed the opinion that the advisory body should plan to meet "for a minimum of four full working days each year." These formal gatherings should be supplemented by additional "study time" and committee meetings between full council sessions, he suggested. Augmenting the work of the advisory council will be full-time staff activity from the recently established Office of Comprehensive Health Planning in their new o fices at 1280 West Peachtreet in Atlanta. Dr. Eugene Gillespie of Atlanta assumed the position of director of the planning agency on Nov. 1 Both Dr. Gilespie and Dr. Venable stressed to the new members that the services of the Council — and those of the Office of Comprehensive Health planning — were to be made available to all health, or health related agencies in Georgia — not just to the State Health Department. The creation of the comprehendsive planning office, and the advisory council, is on outgrowth of 1966 federal legislation (Public Law 89-794). It is part of a national effort to allow more state authority over the allocation and distribution of U. S. health fund grants, and to improve the overall quality of health care in the United States. The current Georgia planning effort is funded through June 30 1968. Initial financing totals -181.782; -158.506 of this amount came as a grant from the U. S. Public Health Service. Members of the Comprehensive Health Planning Advisory Council tentatively scheduled to meet again in January, are: Harrison W. Bray Manchester; Dr. R. Glenn Reed, Jr., Marietta; Norman Burkette Dalton; Mrs. W. Marion Page, Columbus; W. Cam Mitchell, Hampton; J. W. Feighner. Columbus; H Oliver Welch, Atlanta; Miss Mary Webb, Atlanta; Dr. George L.

Eastern Employment Program Wins Urban League Award For being "a pioneer in our nation"s struggle to improve relations between all races," Eastern Airlines was presented the Greater Miami Urban League's highest honor. Marvin C. Amos, director of personnel accepted the award for Eastern. It was presented by former U. S. Senator Harry P. Cain, first vice president of the league. In the presentation, Mr. Cain described the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as an opportunity for businesses to re-evaluate employment policy, practices and procedures. "Eastern Airlines ranks high among those businesses — from coast to coast — which have made the most of this opportunity. Because of Eastern's determination to keep pace with the demands of progress, many men and women from minority groups are at work today who were thought, until recently, to be unemployable or less than desirable," Mr. Cain said. Citing Eastern's record of achievement, Mr. Cain said that from January 1, 1966, to September 30, 1967, Eastern's total work force increased by 25 percent. During the same 21 months, minority groups' employment rose by 59 percent, and the increase in Negro employees was 75 percent. "To be specific while offering a compliment," Mr. Cain said, minority group employees are no longer stricted to semi - skilled and unskilled areas of work. They are represented throughout all departments and divisions of the company." Mr. Cain told the audience of 750 persons that "Eastern has flung wide the doors to competition. Many of all races have failed, and others will flounder, but excellence is the standard for selecting personnel, and the applicant's race, creed, or color is vanishing as a factor." Also honored at the banquet were two staff members of the Miami Herald and the Miami Economic Opportunity Program Inc. Arbon Stratton Named To No. Two VA Post Arbon W. Stratton, of Falls Church. V., on Nov. 28 was named to the post of Deputy Administrator of Veterans Affairs, the number two job in the Veterans Administration. The announcement was made by Administrator of Veterans Affairs William J. Driver who himself held the number two spot in the Federal Government's third largest agency from February 1961 until his appointment as Administrator in December 1964. Stratton succeeds Cyril F. Brickfield who resigned as Deputy Admiistrator Sept. 15 to enter private employment. Before his appointment as Deputy Administrator of the VA. Stratton, 46, had been chief benefits director of the VA. He was named in February 1965 to head the VA's huge Department of Veterans Benefits which operates: —A compensation and pension program providing payments totaling more than $4.5 billion annually to nearly 4.5 million veterans and dependents of deceased veterans. —The largest program of adult education ever undertaken in this country. The VA has underwritten G. I. Bill and vocational rehabilitation education and training for some 11 million veterans. —One of the largest life insurance, policies with a face value of $40 billion. The VA also supervises 3.6 million Servicemen's Group Life Insurance policies (face value $36 billion) issued by commercial insurance companies. —Loan programs which have provided home, farm and business loans totaling more than $68 billion to more than seven million veterans. Named by Driver to succeed Straton as chief benefits director is Art W. Farmer, who was deputy chief benefits director. Elevated to this latter post is J. C. Peckarsky, formerly director of Compensation, Pension and Education Service in the Department of Veterans Benefits. The three appointees — Stratton, Farmer and Peckarsky — are career government employees — and each has more than 20 years service with VA. Stratton joined the Veterans Administration in 1944 as an adpudication officer in the Salt Lake City regional office. He later served in Cheyenne and was transferred to the VA Central Office in Washington, D. C. as a legal consultant in June 1956. Subsequently.

Law Enforcement Photography Taught At Kodak Seminar Picture - taking at the scene of the crime was one of many subjects on the agenda of the 27th Kodak seminar in law enforcement photography, Nov. 27- Dec. 1. The five - day seminar, one of a series begun in 1954, brought together law enforcement officers from across the United States and Canada for instruction and exchange of views on the latest photographic techniques to aid in solving and combating crime. Luther M. Dey, Kodak law enforcement consultant, was coordinator of the program. Among subjects considered in the seminar sessions were mug shots, accident photography, use of xrays in criminal investigation, fingerprint photography, and the ways photography can help in solving ar son cases. On the agenda for the first time was a motion picture produced by the Los Angeles Fire Department entitled "Firefighting During Riots." Other topics included new, fast films for specialized surveillance under night - time and other difficult lighting conditions, camera handling in various situations, infrared and ultraviolet techniques, darkroom methods, and the various uses of black -and - white and color negative films, slide films, and motion pictures. Kodak presented certificates to the officers on completion of the program on Friday, Dec. 1, at a dinne rin the University Club of Rochester. How May Laymen Conceive The Work Of The Church? How can a layman — who has become disenchanted with the seemingly innocuous activities of churchism— be drawn into the real work of the real church? This is one of the questions a group of United Presbyterian lay leaders will consider in a Consultation on the Laity, scheduled December 9-10 in Chicago. Sixteen church members from across the country, joined by seven lay members of the denomination's nation staffs will participate. The two - day meeting is intended to serve as a preliminary bails for a series of recommendations on ways lay persons can participate more effectively in the priority - setting and policy -making of the church. Sponsors of the consultation are the office for Renewal and Extension of the Church's Ministry in the World, and the National Council of United Presbyterian Men. A series of eight questions has been compiled for the group to study, but the discussions are expected to expand considerably beyond them, according to Earl K. Larson, Jr., Coordinator of the Renewel and Extension office and principal planner of the consulta tion. "Essentially, the consultation is intended to provide for some concentrated conversations on the role of the layman in contemporary church life," Mr. Larson said. "We hope the conversations will bring forth some precise recommendations and comments, and we will then feed these into the larger bodies of the church." Recommendationsm from the consultation will be presented at meetings of the Renewal and Extension for the Ministry Coordinating Committee and the National Council Of United Presbyterian Men. Both those groups are scheduled to meet in January. It is hoped that the recommenddations then will be implemented by the two organizations and also be brought to the attention of the 180th General Assembly (the denomination's highest governing body) next May, Mr. Larson said. Among questions on the prepared list are these: How can laymen more effectively participate in the church's mission? How can lay leadership most effectively be used in the judicatory process of developing and executing mission? How can occupational expertise be used best to increase and xtend the ministry? How should the community of the church support extended ministries of laymen? What recommendations would you make to accomplish a more effective involvement of laymen in mission?

Sociologist Find 'Hippies' Have Great Social Importance Today The hippies are not a flash in the cultural pan but a significant social movement, four sociologists say in the current issue, of TRANS-ACTION Magazine published by Washington University. Fred Davis of the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco maintains that the hippies are offering new solutions to the future, problems of society. Bennett M. Berger of the University of California at Davis argues that hippie morality is but a new expression of old Bohemian virtues. Geoffrey Simmon and Grafton Trout of Michigan State report on campus hippies, and suggest that the hippies in general may represent "an emergent social movement." Each of the assessments disagrees with recent reports that the hippie movement may be dead. "Through the hippie community may be destined to soon pass from the scene," Professor Davis writes, "its roots run deep in our culture. An increasing number of young people can be expected to drop out and drift into the hippie subculture. "However even among those youth who 'remain in' conventional society, a very large number can be expected to hover so close to the margins of hippie subculture as to have their- attitudes and out looks substantially modified. Indeed, it is probably through some such muted, gradual, and indirect process' of social conversion that the hippies will make a lasting im pact on American society if they are to-have any at all," he-says. Professor Berger states "Hippie mortality is not new, but I think that more souls are believing it. In addition' to the hippies large numers, their peculiar visibility is playing an important role to the gradual legitimation of their traditionally subterranean morality. The traditional mores have not only lost their authority, but are ready to be replaced — not by a New Morality' but by an old one that has been underground," Berger says. Simmon, a graduate sociology student, and Trout, an assistant professor, write: We must guard against the easy assumption that, because each student generation develops some sort of deviant subsociety, each of these is basically the same. Changes in American society may provide a more permanent niche for certain aspects of the present hippie version of campus Bohemianism. We may well be in the presence - not of just the- latest wrinkle in youthful rebellion, but of an emergent social movement," they conclude. Davis's article focuses on the future. He finds that the hippies' ability to live on very little is their answer to the emerging social pro blem of compulsive material consumption; expressveness for its own sake, a response to the cult of the professional performer; and their living for the moment their solution to the middle - class stress on putting off present pleasures for future benefits. Berger focuses on the past. He shows that eight half centuryold Bohemian themes — including the purity of childhood,-paganism, and expansion of the mind — are expressed anew by the hippies. Simmon and Trout's study of campus hippies discloses that the campus and city hippies differ in manner and outlook. Their inter views identify four campus typesteeny-boppers," the initiates; po liticals," the radical activists; skuzzies," the estranged individual ists; and hippie deviant, the ex tremists. ISABELLA of PARIS Wine Accepted Nationally For Its Medicinal Help The reason for this is the con tinuing accumulation of scientific data which support the various values of wine in therapy. Much of this information is summarized in the booklet, "Uses of Wine in Medical Practice," a compendium of 30 years of research studies on wine's, health values conducted at leading universities and research institutions through out the world. The fifth and latest edition has just been published by the Wine Advisory Board, an agency of the California State Department of Agriculture. In the introduction to the heavlly -referenced text, Dr. Russel V. Lee, Clinical Professor of Medicine Emeritus at Stanford University states — "Certainly there is ample proof that wine is useful in the control of diabetes, obesity (and also undernutrition) .... cardiovascular ailments, the diseases of old age, and many others." A new section of the booklet, Chapter 12, details the expanding use of wine in American hospitals. Cities in which hospitals now serve wine to patients include Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The booklet cites studies in two California; hospitals which showed how-a glass of wine at dinner can promote patients morale and general outlook, while reducing complaints. Another study, in Farmingham, Mass. showed how a single glass of wine reduced the anxieties of elderly patients enough so that they could more easily socialize with one another than was the case when there was little to lift their feelings. Wine has likewise proven valuable in nursing homes. And it is a quick source of nutrition for the otherwise queasy stomachs-of patients newly returned from the operating room. In hospital and home, wine's major medical use is as a tranquilizer which can be taken safely for long periods of time. Some authorities have called it a "natural tranquilizer. Wine, according to other authorities, quoted in the booklet is also valuable as: —an aid to digestion —a safe source of energy for diabetics (dry wine only) —a stimulant of appetites dulled by nervousness. —an aid for relaxing tensions, opening blood-vessels, and-in gene ral reducing circulatory loads on the heart. —a moderate beverage which can serve to protect, against excessive drinking.
