Oklahomans Adopt Law Oklahoma has become the fourth state to adopt a law providing for use in medical research of unclaimed dogs ordinarily killed in public pounds. The National Society for Medical Research reports that similar bills are now pending in Illinois and Pennsylvania. Provisions of the Oklahoma law were described by Dr.

A. J. Carlson. President of the National Society for Medical Research. 1.

The law licenses research laboratories eligible to receive animals for experimental use. 2. Inspection of laboratories by the State Department of Public Health is required. 3. Unclaimed, unwanted strays in public pounds will be withheld from destruction and made available to universities, hospitals and other scientific institutions licensed under the law for use in medical tests.

"The National Society for Medical Research has advocated such said Dr. Carlson, "because the use of otherwise doomed animals for health studies stretches dollars contributed to heart, cancer and other resnarch funds and eliminates the delays in research caused by inadequate supplies of test animals from other sources."

WHITE After checking facilities of hospitals and clinics in a wide area in this section, it seems that the Sanitarium Paris was the first hospital in Texas to establish a department of urology is a city of 16,000 or less population.

The nearest on the east was Texarkana, on the west, Wichita Falls, on the north, Ft. Smith, and on the south, Dallas. The urology department at the Sanitarium of Paris was established April, 1925, when 1 came to Paris from Hugo, after having completed a post-graduate course in urology in New York City. It has been actively maintained since then. In 1949, Dr.

George S. Woodfin, who, in addition to his other medical training, served as resident in urology in the University Hospital, Cleveland, from March, 1946, to March, 1948, became a member of the staff in the department of urology. In APlrl, 1951, we had the honor of moving into the new Sanitarium clinic building, one of the most modern in the South, offering every facility for the care and comfort of the patients. We are just proud of the new urology department, which, in its efficient planning, is a far cry from early 1925. During the past 26 years, it has been my privilege to observe the many changes in urologic practice necessarily rapid to con- Dr.

Stewart succeeded Dr. Wil-jform to the new facts oE anatomy, Ham M. Gambreil of Austin. I physiology, and the basic sciences. This present decade will king be noted for its tremendous advances in the treatment of genito-urinary diseases, including injuries and malformations.

The sulfa drugs, antibiotics, penicillin, streptomy- cine, and many other methods of treatment, including x-ray, greatly improved laboratory methods, improved surgical techniques, have all contributed to the advance urology as well as to the entire medical field. We are at the treshold of a new era: the atomic age with its radioisotopes and many forms of energy not yet charted. Cancer, arthritis, and other diseases hsted as incurable may be in for their toughest battle. Who knows? WRECKED TRUCK HOLDS HEADACHES IVOR, Va. State Trooper A O.
