LETTERS to the EDITOR ACADEMIC EXPLOSION IN ST. KILDA RD. PRINCE HENRY'S JOINS 2 Saturday, August 17, 1963 One Hundred and Ninth Year 0 Publication TODAYS ISSUE, 68 PAGES. WITH MONASH are busy at Prince Henry's, making building alterations ORKMEN which could win this Melbourne hospital recognition in the field of academic medicine. Defending The Budget SIR, ON READING condemnations of the rr.

cent budget from a widp variety of sources, 0m wonders exactly how gen-uine these protests are. One suspects that if busi. ness interests had their -a and generous tax concessions had been provided, the very same voices would rise uu in outcry at yet another ex. ample of the Governments stop-go economic policy. I hold no brief for tlm Government, but surely must face the facts, which quite obviously show tint there is no case for furthor tax concessions at this stag: Economic indicators have From September 1, this hospital in St.

Kildu Road will be in fact, as it has been in title since October last year, an extension of the Monash University campus. The Unwanted Child Problem SIR, MAY I DIVE AN airing, through "The Age, to the very real social problem that I have been living with for the past six years Left with a child to bring up, without the help of his father, my problem is not a monetary one. I am well, and capable of earning a living for myself and my son. However, this Is not sufficient. Problem No.

1 is accommodation. Very few landlords allow children to occupy their premises. Those who do make this concession expect the child concerned to behave like an angel. I seem to have spent most of the past five years "on the run'' from impatient and Inconsiderate people who have forgotten what it is like to be a child. Problem No.

2 Is insufficient supervision during and after school hours, and the all-too-long school holidays. What woman can give of her best to her work when half of her mind is constantly concerned with what Is haDDenin? to her child. The "Biscuit" Budget SIR. I HATE TO SAY it, but the majority of Australians were looking forward to a really encouraging and imaginative budget, but all we got was a "biscuit budget." Now, I am very partial to biscuits, notably shortbread (being of Scots extraction) and the kind that our Prime Minister (Sir Robert Men-zies) likes, especially when ho visits Edinburgh, but in a country like Australia, which is developing so rapidly and attracting so much capital from overseas of which Mr. Calwell is complaining) is it right and logical that we should budget for biscuits and ice cream, when we should be budgeting, by the tens of millions (our banks are bursting at the seams with money from depositors) for bold and imaginative development? Is the present Federal Government afraid What is wrong 7 Certainly we don't want Socialism, or Mr.

Calwell's Socialistic brickbats in belaboring the Government, for Labor, in my view, would do no better. Opportunity But the present Government did have a mighty op- to lead the coun-ry, and all it has done is to give us, Industrially, concessions on biscuits and ice cream I What of a bold policy on education, nationally What of roads What of money to promote exports What of imaginative thinking on housing and building What of ship building, or expansion of railways (railways are not dead) Why all this caution The Government ended its financial year with a surplus and recent Commonwealth ioans were oversubscribed. Then why this timidity in the budget Money There Obviously the money is in Australia but the Federal Treasury doesn't know how to call for it and to use it when it gets it. Apparently the Government, with its slender majority, wants to take things" nice and easy and show what perfect little "gentlemen" they are. There Is a vocal section of thp people of this country who are pro-American, and others who ore pro-British.

What I say to our Australian leaders today is this (Sir Robert Menzies and Mr. Arthur Calwell included) that neither Britain nor America would bring down a "Biscuit Budget" at a time of such wonderful opportunity for Australia. L. T. MOORE (Melbourne) Various additions and alterations were made to the buildings and, until the 1930's, the hospital practised, and was known as, the Homoeopathic Hospital.

Homoeopathy, a system of treating disease by small doses of drugs which would produce symptoms like those of the disease in a healthy Serson, was well out of favor medical opinion by 1934, when the Hospital and Charities Commission decided to rebuild and extend the institution to help relieve the shortage of general hospital beds in Melbourne. With the rebuilding came not only the change in function to a general public hospital, but also a change in name. On the authority of letters of patent granted by the late King George the hospital became Prince Henry's, in honor of the Duke of Gloucester, Royal visitor for Victoria's centenary celebrations. Demolition and reconstruction of Prince Henry's was carried out in so that the functioning of the hospital was not interrupted. The pathology and central blocks were the first units completed before rebuilding halted for the duration of the war.

By 1960, the Prince Henry's building programme was at last completed and the 395-bed hospital was ranked as one of Melbourne's four major teaching hospitals. But the seven years which had passed since the original group of 10 medical students came to Prince Henry's had convinced the hospital staff that, if the Institution were to advance Mr. T. Cuthbertson, Prince Henry's laboratory manager (right), discusses construction plans with the foreman, Mr. Bob Smith.

GOOD TASTE TW7E have only five senses, and we work them TT hard. For not only do they provide us with knowledge ol the external world according to some current philosophers, the only knowledge of It we can possess but they lend their names to other activities of the mind. Which can be observed In our many uses of the word "taste." The palate is popularly considered to be the seat of the sense of taste, especially the hard upper roof of the mouth against which we put our tongues. If food tastes good we call It palatable; If not, it Is rejected as being unpalatable. In his essay Grace Before Meat, Charles Lamb confesses to his strong dislike of the man who swallows his food, affecting not to know what he is eating.

"I suspect his taste in higher matters." He is one of the many English writers who make the comparison and use the figure of speech. Prom them we have learned to speak of good and bad taste in literature and clothes and architecture and music and the rest. By this we mean the sense of what in them is appropriate or harmonious or beautiful. As Carlyle says: "Taste If it mean anything but a paltry connolsseurship must mean a general susceptibility to truth and nobleness, a sense to discern, and a heart to love and reverence all beauty, order, goodness." Everyone knows that we can lose our sense of taste. Shakespeare noted the more obvious signs of age; the old man was sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste.

But It is in the Book of Numbers that one of the most instructive references is to be found. The Israelites had become weary of their desert journey. They were loud In their complaints about the dull monotony of the food, the manna which they "boiled in pots and made cakes of it and the taste of it was like the taste of cakes baked in oil." So to Moses they went: that we had meat to eat. We remember the fish we ate in Egypt lor nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, the garlic. But now our strength is dried up and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at." The list of Egyptian fare is an impressive one.

It is not surprising that it gave them a distaste for the plain fare of the desert. But, on the other hand, taste can be cultivated. If this were not so, we would not benefit from the advice and guidance of the useful people who so expertly taste our tea and wine and foods. Even the rest of us, without rising to their heights of discrimination, have learned that it is possible to develop a taste for something which once was unpalatable. In some homes oysters are a husband's delight and a wife's aversion, but through the pressures of the patient years they become a shared delicacy.

It is not otherwise in the cultivation of taste in Lamb's "higher matters." It is often said that the constant watching of television shows of little or no cultural value debases public taste, and the older prejudice of parents against the comics has Its rise in similar fears and apprehensions. Yet some educationists are not unduly alarmed at these habits and tendencies. Let them read the comics, they say; let them read anything, so long as they read. Later the habit will persist; the taste more selective. However this may be, everything, we know, grows by use and exercise.

In his famous lecture on Habit, William James gives as his final maxim: "Keep the faculty of effort alive in you by a little gratuitous exercise every day." It Is regular exercise which cultivates the taste. A thought to be pondered by those who teach the young. New worlds are awaiting the eager, questing spirit of youth. It is the honor as well as the responsibility of parents and teachers to give their charges a taste for life in these worlds, whether of art or science or music or religion. To fashion taste Is largely to determine the future.

uccu uvci wuciiimigiy luvor- able for some months no'v although the building mdus-try and unemployment situation are stilt- weak spots One feels that the Government has been wise in ro. training from the election approach in order to keen the economy on an even keel. When we get down to tin tacks, we find that big business can do quite well unde current conditions without further tax concessions. The 196263 profit results for B.H.P., Colonial Suuar A.C.I, and G. J.

Coles iU lustrate this point, it all boils down- to the family man carrying the load, as usual. Although there are a fctv heartening but small concessions this time, the Ir.ct remains that personal income tax still provides about one-third of total Govern, ment revenue. However, we must remember that the finance or Australia's development has to come from somewhere. 1 do not suggest thnt we adopt a passive approach to taxation, as it is vitally important from the individuals point of view. Nevertheless, It seems that the vast majority of commentators on Government economic policy are being either two-faced or unprepared to see both sides of the question.

C. C. H. SCHAFEU (East Malvern). TEXT FOR TODAY.

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: it any man hear my voice, and open the door, will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh toill I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." (Revelation 3:20, 21.) By STUART SAYERS science will comprise laboratories and an administrative office, covering a floor area of 3700 square feet, and will be ready for occupation by February next. It will be staffed by five biochemists and technicians, a team gathered by Professor Hudson in the diabetic and metabolic unit of the Alfred Hospital, where he has been working for a number of years. Late in 1964, Dr. Henry Bulger will Join the centre as assistant director.

Dr. Burger, a Melbourne graduate, recently spent a year on research in London as a Nuffield Travelling Fellow and is currently working at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Washington. LIKE Professor Hudson, Dr. Burger's interest Is endocrinology. This highly specialised area of research, in which Melbourne medical scientists hold world ranking, will become the principal field of study for the Prince Henry's centre.

The main theme, initially, will be concerned with the factors that regulate the secretion of hormones, the Important chemicals which regulate vital body functions, This line of research involves the use of expensive equipment and of radioactive chemicals, and requires painstaking chemical studies. Equipping the centre's laboratories at a cost of some 30,000 is the responsibility of the committee of businessmen formed in 1960. The research work will continue investigations Professor Hudson had been fol Port Phillip Caviare SIR, I AM A LOVER of caviare, but I didn't think Port Phillip Bay could produce it until I tasted it at a cocktail party recently at Beaumaris. Our hosts provided three varieties of caviare, most attractively made up lor the party. Two varieties (black and red) were Russian; the other was pale pink.

Our hosts asked us to comment on the three varieties and to decide which variety we favored most. Without exception, all plumped for the pale Pink variety, which was not Russian, but taken from flat-head caught In Port Phillip Bay by our host. Is there not a local in dustry here or hereabouts ior someone to ao sometmng about this 7 The Russian sturgeon, of course, from which the caviare comes, is a large fish compared witn a uatneaa, but the question bears thinking about nevertheless. It also goes to show what experts are among us in our own Australian wives who can turn out hors d'eeuvre of Port Phillip caviare to equal, if not surpass, that of the Russian caviare. GRETA B.

GEORGE (Glen Iris). Help Existing Youth Clubs SIR. I WOULD LIKE to comment on the state ments of the secretary of me victoria rouce Association on the need for police operated youth C1UDS. There is no doubt at all that there are manv chd- able and well-meaning mem- uers oi our ponce iorce wno give excellent service as part-time leaders in youth clubs. In the event of police clubs being established on a basis similar to annlv- lng in other States, there would be many more police capable and interested to de vote some time to this work, but I would recommend as a full-time youth worker, that if the Victorian State Government can be persuaded to make more money available to assist the urgent financial requirement of these vital community ser vices, then such assistance should be made directly to the various established youth organisations already doing worth-while and tested work in this field.

At the present time it appears as If, with our undermanned police force, we certainly cannot spare the men that would be needed for this work, even though the useful occupation of these "teenagers" would certainly lessen the incidence of Juvenile crime. K. N. BALDWIN (Briar Hill). Thirsty Skiers at Falls Creek SIR.

AT THE ALPINE village at Falls Creek, there is only one cafe at the bottom of the ski runs to serve skiers and visitors. Despite the laree nnmher of thirsty skiers wanting cool drinks, seeking refreshment from the hot sun, cool drinks have not oeen available at the cafe. The only drinks that were served last week were hot chocolate and hot coffee. Those asking for a drink of water were told by employes that they were not allowed to serve glasses of water. As the Falls Creek village Is under the control of the State Electricity Commission, it would be Interest ing to learn under what S.E.C.

conditions and supervision the cafe is permitted to operate. Surely It Is not unreasonable to ask that the only cafe on the slooes be forced to provide what skiers want. over ana aoove wnat it chooses 16 serve. R. LIE (North Kew).

61 2141. On that day, the Monash Chair of Medicine, held by Professor Bryan Hudson, will be located at Prince Henry's. To state the fact Is to convey merely part ot its significance. Prince Henry's has been a teaching hospital only since 1953, when ft was affiliated with the University of Melbourne and received a founding group of 10 students. In 1958, the annual intake of students for training rose to 25.

But however high its standards and practice as a hospital. Prince Henry's has not until now pretended to distinction In an academic sense. For one thing, It was a newcomer to the ranks of teaching hospitals. More to the point, the hospital lacked those facilities for research which are essential if an academic staff Is to be established and an academic reputation to be gained. Now, as If In a moment, there has been a change of such proportions that even the most precise of Prince Henry's staff are apt to seek a descriptive phrase In public-relations Jargon: "An academic explosion." The phrase Is picturesque, and apt enough as far as It goes.

But the transformation which ostensibly takes place at Prince Henry's from September 1, when the Monash University department of medicine occupies its quarters on the sixth floor, had its beginnings several years ago. PRINCE Henry's is an old-established Melbourne hospital, although the name has not always been regal. The institution's birth certificate is a circular, dated October 13, 1869, which convened a meeting of interested citizens at 90 Collins Street to discuss the establishment of a dispensary for the treatment of the sick and afflicted. By November 7, 1870, the dispensary had sufficient subscribers for a first annual meeting to be held, and a distinguished committee of management, which included Sir William Stawell and Rev. H.

B. McCartney, then Dean of Melbourne, to be elected. In September, 1876, the establishment shifted from Collins Street to 7 Spring Street, where formerly stood a hospital for children, and reopenea as a iuii-scaie nos-Dital carinir for both In and cut patients. Six years later, ine iounaation stone oi a new hospital was laid by the Marauls of Normanbv. Go vernor of Victoria, on the site In St.

Kilda Road where the present Prince Henry's Hospital stands. News CIR HOWARD FLO- REY. who will visit Melbourne at the end of this month, has millions of people in his debt. He nas savea meir lives, or, at the least, enabled them to recover from illness. The ironv of this achieve ment is that, although he was born in Australia (Adelaide, lBb), most Australians who know anything of the history of penicillin associate it only with the work of another great medi cal scientist, a Scotsman, the late Sir Alexander Fleming.

Fleming discovered peni cillin. Florey Isolated It, and nis studies lea to its Development as a non-toxic anti- oacteriai agent ior use ui medical treatment. In the terms of the cita tion of the Royal Society's uopiey meaai twnicn eir Howard was awarded in 1957). "it Is difficult to over emphasise both the scienti fic Importance and the practical value of this contribu tion." For their Denicillln re search, Sir Howard Florey, his colleague, Dr; E. B.

unain, ana tsir Alexander Fleming shared the 1945 Nobel Prize for medicine. Pathology 3 one of the great pathologists. Sir Howard Florey led the development of his science away from a purely descriptive approach and made it an active branch of medicine. He has always believed in action. His efforts 20 years ago, in England, the United States and here, ensured the rapid production of large quantities of penicillin for the treatment of war wounded.

Sir Howard, who Is now resident of the Royal ocictv the first Australian and the first pathologist to hold this position and provost of Queen's College, Oxford, has spent most of his time in England since he left Adelaide as a Rhodes scholar 42 years ago. His chief Australian interest in recent years, and the reason for most of his visits home, has been the John Curtln School of Medical Research. He acted as adviser to the Australian National University In the foundation of the school.

To live together and work out these problems for themselves. If only I could gain the co-operation of property owners, would-be investors, people with holiday accommodation to offer, I feel confident I could go a long way to solving this problem, for some at least.

A Voice For Our Animals SIR, IT IS TO BE hoped there are more people in Australia than there appear to be, who share the point of view of Graham Pizzev (138) on the need to preserve and protect our native animals and plants. It requires such a comparatively short time for any of our unique animals and plants to become extinct that the wanton destruction taking place seems madness, not to mention the ghastly cruelty so often involved with the slaughter of animals. I hope "The Age" continues to print articles and photographs by Mr.

Pizzey and others, bringing attention to our enchanting animal life and' make a plea for its continued existence. M. E. PIGGOTT (Balnar-ring). SIR, WE WANT MORE vigorous voice in Australia like that of Graham Pizzey to protect our native fauna and flora and also to draw attention to the work of the despoilers everywhere.

In our country bill areas around Melbourne wallabies are hunted and shot almost every week end, and then cut up for pet and dog food in neighboring towns villages. This should be stopped where possible. V. H. BROWN (Melbourne).

The Word Is "Immigrant" SIR, I HAD THE opportunity this week of reading last year's Proficiency i rleate a i nation English paper for secondary schools. One of the listed subjects for composition was: "Australia Owes Much to the Migrant." Is it possible the examiner really meant "migrant," or did he mean "immigrant?" This slovenly use of lan guage by an Education department examiner is appalling; to those thoroughly conversant with the language, it is confusing; to those who have only begun the study of the language since emigrating from non-English speaking countries, it is frustrating. There is a marked difference between a "migrant" and an "immigrant" and I can assure this examiner that no "Immigrant" worth his salt likes to be called a "migrant." A little more care In the use of words should be exer cised by those responsible ior setting examina tion papers. C. KAVANAGII (Box Hill).

Government by the Medical Undergraduate Education Committee.

In a report to the Government in 1960, this committee proposed the affiliation of Prince Henry's, the Alfred and the Queen- Victoria hospitals with Monash University. It said that Melbourne University students should receive their clinical training at the Royal Melbourne, St. Vincent's and the Royal Women's hospitals. Until 1970, when a new. teaching hospital Is expected to be built at Monash, the two universities will share facilities for training in children's diseases at the Royal Children's Hospital and will share facilities for specialised studies at Fair-field Hospital and Royal Park Mental Hospital.

The State Government accepted the committee's recommendations for a rebuilding programme amounting to 2,559,000, to which the Commonwealth Government agreed to make a substantial contribution. Within a month of the announcement of this programme by the Premier and Treasurer (Mr. Bolte), when bringing down the State budget in September last year, Dr. Bryan Hudson was appointed Professor of Medicine at Monash University. Although not announced at the time, the appointment carried with it the post of director of Prince Henry's Hospital Medical Research Centre.

Plans were made, in consequence, to dovetail the activities in the hospital of both the research centre and the department of medicine.

There were no facilities at the hospital for research. On the initiative of staff members, a group of Melbourne businessmen was invited to form a committee to raise funds for establishing a Medical Research Centre at Prince Henry's. A scheme offering business and industrial organisations corporate membership of the Research Centre Foundation on a minimum subscription of 250 was established. Now the centre has 97 corporate members and funds amounting to 60,000 to eauip its programme of research. The original plans for the centre to function autonomously within the established hosoital structure, and to Investigate as an iti-tial field of study the problem of "strokes," or cerebrovascular accidents, which cause an estimated 15 per cent, of all deaths in Australia, were modified by a recommendation to the State of the JAMES PATERSON Tug THE 62-year-old Melbourne tug James Paterson (247 tons) which is to be replaced next week and scrapped, was built in England, on commission from the Royal Navy.

While she was still on the stocks, the R.N. decided that she was surplus to needs, and she was sold to Mr. James Paterson, a Melbourne coal merchant who ran ships to Newcastle. As her new owner remarked when she berthed at Williamstown for the first time, the tug did not look like a tug. With her long hrldge-deck and abundance of teak and brasswork, she might have been mistaken for a yacht.

And, unlike modern tugs, James Paterson was until BO years ago, when stricter lifesaving regulations came In licensed to carry 600 deck passengers. In her early years James Paterson acted as a ferry to the U.S. Fleet anchored in Hobson's Bay and was several times chartered by the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria to follow the Sayonara Cup races in Port Phillip Bay. Master QAPTATN HARTLEY WATSON was James Paterson's master from 1906 to 1047. During World War I the tug, under his command, was seconded to the R.A.N, as a minesweeper.

She swept mines lnid by the German raider Wolf off Gabo Island and attended the 9000-ton steamer Cumberland which was mined and beached on the island in 1917. Captain Watson, who died last year, aged 90, took James Paterson on many other rescue operations. He used to say that she was a tricky tug to handle, as her wheel took 18 turns from hard-over to hard-ovnr, compared with the usual five or six. 3 QUEENS ROAD, MELBOURNE. 26 3745.

The two centres will collaborate fully in their studies, which will be com plementary and, Decause oi their advanced nature, have already, by association, given Monasn university a considerable reputation in Australia and overseas. In his other, and princi pal, role as Professor of Medicine, Professor Hudson will administer the Monash University Department of Medicine, located at Prince Henry Hospital. At the most, he will spend one dav of each working weeK in tne university at Clayton. For the remainder of the week he will be at Prince Henry's, dividing his time ana attention between tne medical research centre on the 11th floor and the de partment of medicine on the 6th floor.

THE department of medicine, wnicn win provide a temporary home from next week for the staff of the medical research centre, occupies 7000 square feet, comprising offices, laboratories and meeting rooms. It will also have two wards, containing a total of 37 beds. These are to be built by the Hospitals and Charities Commission at a cost of about 170,000 and will be ready for occupation later next year. Both will be general wards. for It Is the responsibility of the department of medicine not only to teach In the classroom sense, but to teach In a practical sense by the treatment ol patients.

Alterations to the out patient wing of the hospital needed to house the depart ment of medicine are costing 35,000. It is expected that within five or six years about 160 Monash University students will be receiv ing cnnicoi instruction witn In Prince Henry's Hospital. Prince Henry's will retain Its link with Melbourne University for another two years.
