He it a spokesman for lome 2.000 veterans at the veterans administration facility in west Los Angeles. The statement below was first published In a Los Angelet newspaper). Though difficult to find words to do them justice, we wish to express our appreciation for the Gray Ladies. Hostesses, and the Ladies in Blue of the American Red Cross who set aside one day each week and leave their homes to bring a bit of sunshine and happiness to us, the disabled veterans.

They are always so willing to share our troubles, discuss our present problems, advise and encourage us and so willing to write letters for the blind or those without the use of their hands. They remember our birthdays and perform little acts of kindness. Infuse Faith Their generosity and kindness give us the weapons against infirmity. Doctors cannot infuse hope, faith and courage, but they do. Moreover, the uniforms they wear symbolize the glory of our great and generous nation.

We, the disabled veterans, respect those blue and gray uni- fYO VEGETABLE forms as we respect our flag and the uniforms of our comrades who have taken over the defense of our country, an honor that was once ours. If the women of America could watch the Gray Ladies and Hostesses at work in soldiers' homes and hospitals all over our country they too would want to wear the blue or gray uniform or become a hostess. Paid Compliment Through the years the writer has questioned those gracious ladies, the greatest compliment that could be paid any veteran of any country came from a little old lady 79 years of age. When I asked the usual question "Why," she put her arm around my shoulder and said, "I lost my boy on Flanders Field in the first world war and to be near his comrades is to be near him." Not long ago that little old lady joined her boy and we, the disabled veterans, lost our little adopted mother. Aid Told Those blue and gray uniforms are unknown to the general public for the ladies who wear them go about their work quietly but happily.

We. the disabled veterans, want the American people to know who those grand ladies are, what they do and why. They help the blind master the world of darkness they must live in. Daily they can be seen in various companies with a basket on their arm filled with all those little things needed by us veterans. They know of all our little wants.

They also know our hearts and what to do for them when they are troubled. We, the disabled veterans, wish to thank these gracious ladies for all their kindness. God bless each of you.

"If you do not want America to become a communistic state you must stop the government's socialized medicine plan now," Dr.

Earl Lawson, a combat veteran cf World War II, told Legionnaires at the meeting of Medford post No. 15 at the Legion club Wednesday night. Law-son quoted Lenin's book which states, keystone of the socialistic state is socialized medicine." "It is not a matter of saving 150.000 doctors from socialized medicine," Lawson sontinued, "it is a matter of saving American people from communism." Dr. Lawson is receiving letters from several people in England with whom he became acquainted while stationed there during the war. Their letters tell how medicine is getting poorer and poorer in England because the doctors are kept busy taking care of the little things that the people could do for themselves.

They also tell about loan shops being filled with glasses and other aids that the people have received under socialized medicine, but find they can get along without later on. Hospitals in England are becoming so crowded that a private room is almost a thing of the past. Cites "Dangers" "Under socialized medicine." Dr. Lawson said, "the politicians would be able to tell everyone which doctor and hospital they must go to it's happening in England today. Socialized medicine would kill all voluntary health efforts and prepaid medicine organizations.

It would tend to keep one party in power in our government, thereby killing all other parties. It would encourage the old army game of 'riding the sick "The business man is the supreme individual in this country. Socialized medicine might be the wedge that would make it possible for the government to take over all business. It has been done in other countries. Joe Stalin would like to see socialized medicine in this country.

The function of government in a democracy is the defense of the country. We want America to stay American and remain the American way of life," Dr. Law-son concluded.
