67 North End Clinic' With Linda Darnell
Doctors Serving in
U. S. Armed Forces
Sixty-seven physicians out of
approximately 100 on the staff
of the North End Clinic have
donned khaki to serve in the
armed forces of our country.
This, it is believed, is the
largest percentage of medical
staff to go into the service
from any clinic iri Detroit.
In addition, one nurse, El-
eanor Stanfield, is serving as a
second lieutenant with the
Army Nursing Corps in North
Africa, and a member of the
Board of Trustees, Capt. Ralph
Mayer, is with the Air Corps.
Two members of the general
staff of the Clinic are in the
service. One of them, Donald
Harris, who started as mes-
senger, while working his way
through school, recently was
granted a commission as a
second lieutenant.
The doctors of the Clinic are
scattered in all parts of the
world. Each month the Clinic
office mails them .each a news-
letter, keping them posted on
the happenings back home.
Many interesting letters have
been received in return, and
these are being compiled in a
volume to be kept as a per-
manent record.
Despite the heavy demand
upon their time, the doctors
still serving the Clinic are
donating their time daily for
preliminary examination of
men called up by the Selective
Service boards. They also care
for the families of men in
service who are unable to pay
for medical services.
