PAGE TWO THERirMCITIGXN JDATLY WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1939 Early Medicine Is Subject Of Radio Lecture Dr. Coller Relates Story Of Pioneer Doctors And Medical Training The New King Of England And The Line Of Succession Classified Directory_ NOW SHOWING "Early Medicine in Michigan" was the topic of a lecture given today by Dr. Frederick A. Coller, director of the department of surgery in the Uni- versity Hospital, over the University Broadcasting Service. This lecture was a continuation of the "Michigan, My Michigan" series of speeches. Starting his description of the his- tory of medicine in Michigan with the Indian, Dr. Coller enumerated the stages which medicine has under- gone. Pioneer Doctors Ingenious Little is known, Dr. Coller said after describing Indian contributions to medicine, about the present of physicians with the French during and after the settling of Michigan, but during the period of British oc- cupancy a number of physicians were , practicing in Detroit. When the tide of immigration into Michigan set in after the War of 1812, the pioneers brought in with them the pioneer doctor, Dr. Coller continued. At this time, the pioneer doctor secured his training under the old apprentice system. Thus, he de- veloped an independence of spirit and a self-sufficiency in his methods, cop- Ing with all the problems of the sick and injured with native ingenuity. Dr. Coller said. This originality and individualism of effort accounts for many of the achievements of Ameri- can medicine, the speaker pointed out. Beaumont Case Is Example With their meager knowledge, es- pecially about infection, the pioneer doctors could not combat the terrible epidemics then so frequent, Dr. Coller said, describing attacks of cholera and smallpox taking place at the time. "The frontier doctor, however, was capable of great achievement in science," Dr. Coller added, pointing to the example of William Beaumont, a surgeon in the United States Army stationed at the Fort on Mackinac Island. Beaumont's research was one of the landmarks of medical history, dealing with the process of digestion. Medical education in the United States up to the time of the Civil War was in a chaotic condition, the speaker said. "Michigan was the first state to recognize the importance of professional education in medicine." Dr. Coller declared, describing the founding of the Medical School, which was the first one in the United States to offer a laboratory course in medicine. Michigan's Record Honorable Dr. Coller described also the foun- dation of the Medical School at the Wayne University continuing with a description of the passing of laws which compelled doctors to procure licenses after an examination. "Hospitals and trained nurses did not form a part of early frontier med- icine," Dr. Coller stated. He described how gradually they took their place in the public health system today, telling also of the foundation of training schools for nurses, and men- tal asylums. "From first to last the record of medicine in Michigan has been an honorable one," Dr. Coller concluded, "honorable to the individual physi- cians who have labored obscurely and then gone their way, honorable to the citizens who have provided medi- cal education for the young men and women of the state, and especially must we honor the citizens and law- makers who have founded and per- petuated the institutions and activi- ties to maintain health." Local Chapters Of Walton Club Unite Amalgamation of the Ypsilanti chapter of the Izaak Walton League with the Ann Arbor chapter and elec- tion of officers was carried out in a joint meeting of the clubs yesterday in the Ann Arbor High School.

TWO-HEADED RATTLER !FOUND BOISE, Idaho, Jan 21. - (iP) - A 1 rattlesnake with two heads was dis- played here by Major P. J. Todd, CCC district commander. The two heads were identical, with two sets of eyes and two tongues. III ONE DAY ONLY- TONIGHT at 8:15 ART CINEMA LEAGUE Presents return engagement of 1( With the proposed sewage disposal system and water softening plant fi- nally provided for, one of the most Pressing needs of Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County is a remedy for a growing shortage of space for ad- ministrative offices, according to May- or Robert A. Campbell. Agitation for an ample city-county building has arisen intermittently over a period of years, with a short- age of funds putting an end to the proposal each time. The City Coun- cil has at times progressed as far as the drawing of architects' plans for the building, and has even acquired options on real estate desired for the project, but final approval has never been granted. City Hall Is Inadequate Even under the liberal grants of the present Federal relief agencies for municipal improvements the project has been voted down because of dis- sent and a general dislike of borrow- ing Federal funds, according to the mayor. The need for office space in the city hall has finally become so press- ing that plans for an addition to the building involving an expenditure of $80,000 were submitted to the Public Works Administration in Washing- ton more than a month ago, and are awaiting approval. The plans contemplate the addition of another 44 feet to the south side of the present city hall, to provide more space for the city clerk, city en- gineer, city health department, and other municipal officials. Extension Is Planned} The extension will have the same height as the present city hall, two stories, for 24 feet, and the additional 20 feet will consist of a garage to ac- commodate the four cars of the police department and additional equip- ment. Illustrating the need for this addi- tion, Mayor Campbell pointed out that the Saturday morning free clinics of the city health department have to be held in the cold and inconvenient council chamber because the appli- cants overflow the small office of the health officer. He stated that the city engineer's office is occupied mostly1 by equipment, and that the city clerk's force spends a good part of its time climbing and descending the stairs between their first floor office and the files in the basement. Two of the cars operated by the local police, moreover are continuous- ly outdoors because the small wooden shed which now serves as a garage will not accommodate them. For the addition the city will make use of the space now occupied by the police garage and driveway, and a private garage beyond it on which an option is held. Even so, Mayor Campbell con- tinued, the problems of housing the municipal governments will not be solved. The city hall, built in 1907, is the newest of the municipal build- ings here, with a county courthouse built in 1877 and a dilapidated fire station built in 1882, both of which should, according to the mayor, be replaced by new structures for the sake of efficiency. City-County Building Proposed In the courthouse, for example, half of the north corridor was recently partitioned off to make an office shared by LaVerne O. Cushing, chair- man of the board of auditors for Washtenaw County, and Fred C. Haist, county poor commissioner. The mayor's plans for a city-county building, in which the cooperation of Ypsilanti and other municipalities in Washtenaw county would be en- listed, call for a building occupying the greater portion of the block bounded by Huron Avenue, Ann St., Fourth Ave., and Fifth Ave., where the fire department is now located. The proposed city-county building would then house the offices of the city and county, including the police and fire departments, bit not the sheriff's offices or the jail, which are' now adequately housed in the new building at the corner of Ann and Ashley streets. The building could be completed, "However," he concluded, "A city-' county building is definitely out of the question for the time being, both from the financial standpoint and because of the temporary relief the addition will furnish when and if it is approved." open cellar party dance tonight 8:15 to 10:15 no cover or minimum charge. the fingerle the hut operated hut t i f' 4 a., , ! t, t f '_3 q, r !' e A DAILY 15c to 6 - 25c after 6 CONTINUOUS 1:30 - 11 P.M, THE ORATORICAL ASSN.
