plai~hat while Lids state
has a favorable "on p~,~er
ratio" of physician coverage,
close observation reveals a
maldistribution of health care
with physicians tending to
cluster around hospitals and in
populous affluent areas. Over-
all Washington has a ratio of
one physician to every 556
residents, somewhat better
than the American Medical
Association's recommended
ratio of one per 650 population.
However, Dr. Sparkman
pointed out, only nine of the
state's 39 counties approxi-
mate this distribution and the
figures tend to be misleading
family practice, internists and their location by presenting
pediatricians.
Moreover, according to the
State Medical Association, the
average age of the primary
care physicians in these 10
counties is 51.5 years, indica-
ting an urgent need for more
younger physicians for these
areas within the next 15 years.
The 10 counties are Adams,
Asotin, Columbia, Douglas,
Franklin, Grant, Lincoln, Kit-
titas, Klickitat and Whitman.
WSMA lists 111 doctorless
Washington towns, some with
populations of nearly 6,000.
The Clearinghouse does not
promise a physician for most of
these. Studies show that the

regarding professional, eco-

be launched to recruit recent
graduates and doctors seeking
to relocate. For communities
which cannot support a
physician, the Clearinghouse
may suggest a nurse practi-
tioner or a medex. W/ARMP

The annual April Cancer
Crusade for the American
Cancer Society got underway
here this week and will
continue through Apr. 22,
according to local chairman
Mrs. Verne B. Smith.
Mrs. Smith said volunteers
will be contacting each house-
hold in the area, but urged
residents to make certain that
crusaders have proper iden-
tification.
"To assure that all funds
given reach the proper per-
sons in charge of the drive,
each qualified solicitor will be
wearing a numbered solici-
"tation permit dated Mar. 12,
1974 and signed by the
president of the Washington
American Cancer Society,"
the chairman said.
Heading up work in the
various section of the City of
Othello are Sue Bunch, Shirley
McCullough and Sharon
Eckert. Helen Holland is in
charge of rural collections.
Mrs. Smith said the ACS
will be putting $25,000 into
cancer research this year to
help assure an early victory
over the disease.
"Today more than 35 per
cent of Americans stricken
with cancer are cured," Mrs.
Smith said. "Better methods of
detecting cancer, new surgical
methods, multi-million volt
radiation equipment and tech-
niques for using it to eradicate
tumors deep within the body,
and an entire new form of
cancer treatment, chemother-
apy, have all been developed
thanks to help from Cancer
Crusade funds."
She urged support of such
research to make certain all
types of cancer can be
controlled in the near future.

just a pin on a map, you have
to get a chance to get out and
see a site to understand what
its problems are," the visiting
general reported.
Originally entering the mili-
tary as an enlisted man in
1944, Gen. Young served in an
airborne unit during World
War II.
He transferred from the
Army to the Air Force in 1950
and after completion of flight
training he served with the
18th Fighter Group in the
Korean War.
He completed 34 combat
missions in P-51s prior to
