by Sinai Hospital President Mor-

150 scientists gathered under
auspices of Sinai Hospital's de-
partment of research to discuss
and evaluate issues revolving
8round the subject "The Action
of Hormones: Genes to Popula-
tion."
There were 43 noted authorities
from 10 states and eminent scien-
tists from seven other countries.
Wayne State University and the
Michigan Diabetes Association co-
operated in the sponsorship of the
Symposium that lasted three days
and concluded on Wednesday. A
dinner meeting Tuesday at Raleigh
House was addressed by Dr. Rich-
ard J. Bing. WSU professor of
medicine.
Considerable emphasis was
placed in the discussions on
birth control and population
growth and in one of the ad-
dresses Dr. Harry W. Rudel of
the Rockefeller University
(N.Y.) Population Center as-
serted: "It has been agreed that
limiting the magnitude of popu-
lation growth could buy time
in allowing for a more concen-
trated expenditure of resources.
Whereas the older methods of
contraception have proven effec-
tive in controlling birth rate in
the Western world, even the
newer techniques of hormonal
contraception and the intrau-
terine devices have not had a
significant impact on birth rate
In the developing nations. This
may call for a re-evaluation of
philosophy and certainly differ-
ent approaches to the problem
s of contraceptive methods."
In the course of his address.
Dr. Rudel said:
"If it is assumed that goals of
,aelf enlightenment material com-
fort associated with Western so-
cieties are worthwhile and should
be generalized to the family of
man, then we must accept the fact
that resources are not sufficient
- to meet this challenge. These de-
ficiencies of resources are most
acutely felt in the area of com-
pletely trained people and in
working capital. It is inconceivable
that a society can break the
shackles of superstition and com-
pete openly in the 20th century
world without a high order of
literacy. This degree of literacy is
dependent upon an educational
system which is designed effec-
tively to reach all levels of that
society, and which is staffed by
teachers who can translate today's
knowledge into a meaningful ex-
perience for that social group.
Such a program must be backed by
a strong cadre of technologists,
journeymen, and professionals to
give practical expression to their
formal education. Lastly, sufficient
capital must be available to other
employment for the newly trained
and to provide a plate to develop
maturity in their field. Without
literary and educational facilities
the human input to achieve ad-
vances in living improvement may
far exceed any limited gain."
Sinai Hospital's contributions
to science and medicine were
highly praised by Dr. Bing who
stated that "a community hospi-
tal can build a scientific environ-
ment." He emphasized the im-
portance of a community hospital
and he emphasized also the vital
necessity of "full time people in
medicine."
Expressing appreciation in be-
, half of the hospital for the Ham-
; burger-Jospey Medical Research
I Building made possible by the
$500,000 gift from Louis and Sam
Hamburger and Maxwell Jospey,
Dr. Bing said that vastly improved
services to the community are as-
sured by the establishment of this
research center.
Joining with Dr. Bing in paying
honor to the Hamburgers and to
Jospey were Dr. Julien Priver, ex-
ecutive vice president of Sinai Hos-
pital; Nate S. Shapero, who was
the hospital president when the
$500,000 gift was made, and other
participants in the program. Jos-
pey responded for the donors of the
.research building.

what's a
funny
place for
a phone?

That depends a lot on your sense of humor. If splashing
through the house to answer a telephone leaves you a
little cold, then perhaps there is nothing funny about an
extension telephone in the bathroom or dressing room.
Extension telephones save steps and let you do your
telephoning from where you are.
Call your Michigan Bell Business Office or ask your
telephone man. For as little as ninety-five cents a month
(plus tax) you can have an ex-
Michigan Bell
tension telephone in any funny
old place you'd like.
