DOCTOR'S DILEMMA
(1939 ·BRAND)
A NEW style "doctor's dilem- ma" is going to arise out of the latest decision of the Ministry of Health regarding the emer- gency hospital service.
The Ministry Jas deelded to notify a certain number of the doc- tor at present employed whole time in the service that they wil be allowed to transfer to part-time service so that they may also at- tend private patients.
The selection of doctors who will be so notified wilt rest with the Ministry; the choice "to transfer or not to transfer" will be for the doc- tor.
And there arises the dilemma,
KICKING THEIR HEELS Getting down to the purely finan- clal point of view, the choice will not be easy in muny enses.
Doctors who have committed then-. selves for whole-Ume service have done so on the agreement that they will not engage in private practice.
The salaries paid to them cover a wide range--from £350 a year for the house officer to £1,400 a year for the consultant adviser.
Many of them are at the moment kicking their heels more or less in Idleness--and they are not king 1. But they are sensible enough to rea- lise that an emergency service is In- tended to meet an emergency—which up to the present has not urlsen.

TWENTY FIVE feet beneath Buckingham Palace is an air-raid shelter for the use of the King and Queen.
Big armchairs and a settee have been installed, with a powerful radio set, a writing desk for the King, a worktable for the Queen, and a selection of their favourite books.
Originally, the shelter was one of the several workshops that give on to the long stone-
of Scotland and the Evangeli-lined corridors that run all the

"At all costs the polley proclaimed by the German Fuchrer must be overcome," states the message.
"It is based on force. It must be met by counter- force.
"What this means must be hateful to any Christian man. But there is no other way,

Stolen Gas Masks
Sold for 5/-
HUNDREDS of gas masks have been stolen--and resold, in some cases for 5s, each-in the past few weeks in England.
Some people who have lost their gas masks prefer to buy another to reporting the loss, because they are afraid they will get into serious trouble.
"Actually, any person who has lost his gas mask has only to explain the circumstances to his local authority and, provided he has made all possible inquiries, a new ono is supplied to him,” an A.R.P. official said.
