OTelegraph Doily Kxctpt Sunaoyi Telegraph Publishing Co. 60 Main Xashua, M. 1L Saturday Evening, January 15, 1955 DB ROOK BETIBES One of Nashua's most beloved phystdani for a period of almost a half century, Dr Timothy F. Rock, has announced his retirement "Dr as he has been affectionately known to Nashuans from almost the day he started to practice medicine in his home city, comes to the decision reluctantly but has decided that his health will not permit him to round out his hoped for full fifty years in the profession which he has so zealously and brilliantly worked for almort all of his adult lifetime. His decision to retire is regretted but no one, we are sure, is more deserving of enjoying the years remaining to him.

He has been of the old school, answering calls for many years around the clock, until of late when his Health has not permitted him to be out much at night He has made a great contribution to our city in his lifetime of service to his profession: In that period he has brought hundreds of our citizens into the world and watched over and guarded them in their young years until they have grown up as strong and sturdy citizens. It must be a great sense of satisfaction to anyone, such as Dr Tim, to see THEY'LL DO IT EVERY TIME by Jimmy Hollo tXJR STEAK ARRIVES TOO RARE- JUST SEND IT BACK FOR A LITTLE MORE COOKING SBCONDTOP TO STEAK TOO RARE-COUUD YOU JUST 6IVEJT A LITTLE A10RE JUST A LITTLE RISMT AWAY.SIR A YOU ARE- CAREFUL National Whirligig (ETWry Saturday, Mr News Behind the News BAY TUCKER Saturday, Mr readers' of general Interest on national and international policing and. per- Questions may be to him at 7008 Hlllcreat Place, Chevy Chase, Md.) their physician, over the years, so active in the life of our community. One of the oldest practicing physicians in the city, in point of service to his community, Dr Tim's advice and suggestions were eagerly sought and carried out by many "of the younger members of his profession who turned to him on more than one occasion because of their great appreciation for his work in the field of surgery and his knowledge of the ills which beset the human race. In his profession, in his lifetime, he won many honors and awards from his colleagues in medical associations on a national, state, and local level.

One of his great qualities, to many, is his extreme humaneness and his compassion for those who were ill and under his care. Often he went far beyond the confines of duty and the obligations of a physician, in the handling of his patients and their families. People, by and large, had great confidence in him and that confidence was deserved. Busy as he was he would think nothing of making two or three calls a day at the home of a patient, or to his hospital bedside, because he well understood that such attention sometimes is a remarkable therapy in the improvement of a person. Younger generation residents of Nashua may not recall that Dr Tim was a rather able athlete as a young man, especially in the field of baseball, and even today there is no more devoted or enthusiastic follower of local sports programs than he.

He is now in Florida, with Mrs Rock, on the annual winter vacation that he has taken for many years, one of the few times in the year when he has been able to forget for a NEIGHBORLY NEIGHBORS Trademark Registered U. s. Patent Office. on the soulders of pur physicians. It is the hope of a great majority of our citizens, we feel sure, that he will return in renewed vigor and that he will be able to continue to enjoy the good things of life for many years to come.

AH of us wish him speedy recovery and many years of good health ahead. The TELEGRAPH REMEMBERS Washington, Jan 15 "I it true," asks M.L., of Troy, N.Y., "that the regular Democrats have finally broken off relations with the Americans for Democratic Action? If so, why?" Answer: It may be an exaggeration to say that relations have been broken, but they have been severed badly. Even such erstwhile enthusiasts as Adlai E. Stevenson and Governor Averell Harriman of New York appear to have given them the cold shoul- MAY BE A FLOP Although these prominent Democrats deny a rupture, they have refused to speak at the A.D.A.'s rounds of dinners given annually in memory of Franklin D. Roosevelt, their political saint.

Numerous other Party emi- Ray Tuckor nents on Capitol Hill have also declined' to appear. Except for Eleanor Roosevelt, members of that family are no longer star attractions, the result that A.D.A.'s annual celebrations this month may be a flop. FATAL THRUST With its pro- AROUND, the TOWN Dr Timothy Rock, who decided to retire this wsek after almost 50 years of the practice of medicine in Nashua, was and still is as ardent a sports fan you will find in the city. young man he used to be a pretty good ball player--at least our Dad told us so as did many others. We got the impression, somehow, that he was catcher and a good one.

We do know that in all of the years we have known him we have seldom seen him absent from sports events in Nashua, whenever he was able to get away from his busy practice. And for many years he was a busy and active physician who worked around the clock, so to speak, seven days a week. No matter what the sports attraction might with special emphasis on baseball, he usually could be found occupying a seat in the grandstand: loved High school sports and to be pretty proud of some of the kidi who went on to do well in But it didn't matter much what the sports attraction was. He was an ardent fan when Major Murphy ran MB through the period of the Twenties and then again In the late Forties he could be found at Holman Field watching the Nashua Dodgers in action at their games. And many i the big league baseball game he saw in Boston and there was no keener student of the game than he as you soon found out if you dared crosg verbal swords with him on the relative merits of ball clubs and baseball players.

He wasn't on of those hide-bound persons, either, like our Dad, who believed that they lost the mould when Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb and some of the 'other old immortals of the game retired from the sport It wag always a pleasure to meet and talk with him and we seldom ever ran into him when he didn't have a smile on his face or some cheery word for one. He could be compassionate, understanding and helpful, too, as we discovered when our Mother died a little over 25 years ago from leukemia for which there was no known cure then or now. we guess. He was with her constantly In her final hours and was a great solace our Dad which we are not likely to forget. Off hand-we know of no more loved or respected figure In the city than Dr Tim and he came by that affection deservedly.

He was brought up in the old school that used to be on call day or night and such a life must eventually wear on a person. We don't suppose for many years In his long career he ever got what one considers a good night's sleep.

1 oo ROMANS self." Christ pleased not him- In die 38 years which have elapsed since I preached my first sermon to a real congregation, I have never felt quite ready or able to preach on the above text. 1 think I could give a reasonably sound exposition of the text and background of it, but its five words have always seemed to me to carry implications which are among the most far-reaching of the whole New Testament. For one thing, they put Christ in our class, since we never can always do just what we please. For another, they suggest the real humanity of Christ, a quality we forget or minimize in emphasizing His divinity. The sentence implies, moreover, that there were times when His own immediate desires had to be subordinated to some larger good and to the i a will of God.

These five words are exactly in key with such passages as i i i a Hebrews 17-18, and They a indicate that when St. John 1:14 asserts that "the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us," we were being assured that, once in the course of human history, in the fullest and most real sense the eternal and infinite God shared this fleeting, limited and troubled human life of ours.

One only has to note the high office which he was elected by fellow physicans in various associations to which he belonged, to realize the great respect in which he was held by them and the high regard they, too, held for his abilities. He was reticent about publicity and did not like to have his name in the paper, a failing of a lot of physicians by the way, and while he was have to tell John sooner or later." another room upstairs, the vacuum cleaner is humming, That's the Lady Esther of thisj house Outside, it's been snowing since last night The preschool kids on the block are out sleigh riding.

Yet. he was understanding of the problems of newspaper folks and tried to be helpful and usually was. Like all of us of Irish descent, too, he could be dogmatic in' some of his opinions and -he wasn't a bit afraid to stand his ground when he thought he was right We have seen his eyes flash fire on more than one occasion and heard more than one caustic observation from him when something he didn't like came up and which he felt ought to be discussed. We don't know what his future plans are and wejmagine that these will be deferred until his return from his annual vacation in Florida with Mrs Rock.

We hope the hot sun will prove beneficial to him and that when he returns he will be able to carry on in some way his practice even in a limited way. His experience and knowledge of medicine ought to be available to Nashuans. Again, as George Gobel says, "You can't hardly get them kind anymore."
