his
reasons for seeking the presidency as follows:
" W i t h more than 200,000 members, the Civil Service Employees

Yet, I do not believe that our

State Rehiring IVIeets
Deadline; Some Decline
ALBANY — The latest figures released by the State Office of Employees Relations
shows that 1,206 out of 3,481 permanent employees laid off in the four State bargaining
units represented by the Civil Service Employees Assn. have been rehired, with nearly as
many refusing positions,
I n a breakdown released last
week to CSEIA by the State, the
figures show that of 1,942 permanent competitive employees laid
off, &95 have been placed in
available comparable jobs while
111 non-competltlve employees
have been rehired.
The report also showed that
765 employees declined job offers
for various reasons. Including
their unwillingness to accept
temporary employment, retUe-
ment, relocation, etc.
Nearly
300
employees
who
were solicited have not yet responded to the job offers.
The State said It has not as
yet found comparable job openings for 182 competitive class
employees, but that these workers would remain on the preferred list and would be offered
comparable jobs as they become available.

Wenzl said in making his bid
for a third term. "A successful

I will work even more diligently

Increased membership and service.Wenzl, who assumed the reins
of president in 1967, after serving as Statewide treasurer and
first vice-president, was Immediately confronted with the paradoxical Taylor Law which, on
one h a n d gave public employees,
for the first time, the right to
negotiate with their employers,
and on the other, created numerous and complex legal problems and oi>ened the floodgates
to stiff competition from outside unions. These dues-hungry
unions which sought to remove
CSEA from Its preeminent position In New York State public
employment, suffered cruslilng
defeats In representation elections during years of Wenzl's
administration.

The suit was brought against

The petition, first presented
in February 1971, charged both
the Commission and the Department with advocating discrimination In civil service hiring
practices through a clause contained In a n examination announcement published last Pall
by the Department of Civil

permanent non-competltives rehired thus far was low but the
State Civil Service Dept. concentrated first on rehiring those

said, however, that more emphasis would be placed now on
establishing rosters of lald-off

employment standards abreast
erf living cost Increases in England and on a par with employee gains in the private sector.
O n the other hand, there are
differences that must be noted
to avoid distortion of the total
picture. The basic element in
that difference is that Britain
hats neither a labor board equivalent to our National Labor Relations Board nor any kind of
PEORJB that would serve as the
equivalent of our State Public
Employees Relations Board. Such
law that exists In England affecting both those areas of labor relations has been developed
in England through the common
law, that is, through decisions of
the courts.
Parliament is now In the midst
of heated, controversial d e b a ^
as to whether England should
follow the patterns created here
for legislative standards to guide
industry and labor in terms of
their negotiations. According to
CSE&RA'sGreat
Fall Program
Robert Carr, BritLsh Secretary of
State (for Employment, England
suffers fix>m a "peculiarly large
number of strikes and 95 percent of these take place without union endorseanent and are
usually also in breach of agreement."
Strike Patterns
By and large, the vast majority of strikes In England,
whether in the public or private
sector, involve only a relatively
small number of workers and
are of short duration, but typically they occur without warning as a means of first resort
for resolving causes of a dispute
rather t h a n as a last resort.
The major problem In collective bargaining in England arises
from a fundamental subtle switch
In emphasis from national to
local bargaining. Traditionally,
terms and conditions of employment and in civil sei'vice in
England were determined at national levels, by a relatively
small number of national leaders
of employers and unions. But
since the end of World War n ,
the bargaining process has become more significant at the local levels, reflecting the same
kind of growing significance in
America of principles of participatory democracy. This symptom has been reflected here by
the growing number of settlements approved by union leaders, in both the public and private sectors, that are rejected
by the union workers at ratification votes.

M. Nixon, granting to public
employees fundamental collective bargaining rights.
Obivously, the American statutory framework for collective bargaining falls far short of a panacea. The large number
of
strikes here in the public sector clearly demonstrate that we
have not yet found an acceptable formula for resolving the
Intractable issues that precipitate a strike. However, Elngland

Mrs. Bates Leaves
Oneida Cty. Post;
Served 51 Years
UTICA—An Oneida County chapter member of long
standing in the Civil Service
Employees Assn., S, Irene
Pugh Bates, was recently given
a testimonial dinner on her retirement from public service.
Mrs. Bates had been employed
at the County clerk's office, with
a government career spanning
51 years.
The testimonial, which was
held at the Hart's Hill I n n here,
includes tributes delivered by the
following: County executive Harry S. Daniels; attorney Norman
Seigal; Gladys Roberts of L. C.
Childs & Sons; Mrs. Jean Coluzzl, CSEA unit representative and
Board of Directors member, and
Charles T. Williams,
former
County clerk.
Among the hlghpoints in Mrs.
Bates' career were her appointment In 1920 as assistant to the
placement officer in the County
Agency for Dependent Children,
and her initial appointment In
1939 by then-County Clerk J ,
Brayton Puller. The other clerks
she served under were Williams,
J o h n D. Douglas, J . Bradbury
Gferman Jr., Prank M. D u l a n and
Edwin Slusarcsyk.
During the war years, she
took on voluntary service as a
nurse's aide and. In 1949, she
embarked on a second career as
a licensed practical nurse.

Leo J. Margolin Succumbs;
LeaderColumnist,Educator
Leo J. Margolin, academician and former newspaperman, died last week at the age of 60. His weekly column,
"Your Public Relations I.Q,," which dealt with how public
employees could best communicate with and serve the general public, had lon^ been a
favorite of readers of The Leader,
Mr. Margolin was a professor
of business administration
at
M a n h a t t a n Community College
and served as adjunct professor
of public administration at New
York
University's
Graduate
School of Public Administration.
He also headed the business administration division at the community college.
A native of Brooklyn, Mr.
Margolin received a baccalaureate from Iion« Island University
and a law degree from Brooklyn
Law School. At that juncture of
his career, he decided to pursue
a new.spaper career rather t h a n
law. He was employed by the
New York Herald Tribune and
PM, both Journals no longer
publishing.
Mr. Margolin's wartime service
In North Africa and Italy saw
him attached to the Psychological Warfare Branch, Office of
W a r Information. His reminiscences of these assignments were
the subject of a book he authored, "Paper Bullets."
Following the war, Mr. Margolin was appointed Information
bureau chief of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration In Europe. Subsequently, he became executive
secretary to the Mayor's Joint
Committee on Port Industry In

'Leave The Driving To Us'
Vote Down No Money'
PBA Contract Wenzl
Urges State Police
ALBANY—Leaders of the Civil Service Employees Assn.
cautioned rank and file members of the Division of State
Police "not to act hastily" on a reported move by the State
Police Benevolent Assn, to "ram an empty contract through"
for the sole purpose of protecting its bargaining status.
CSEA president Theodore C.
Wenzl said at Leader press time
that he had learned of a meeting of PBA delegates at which
a new ratification vote would be
discussed. The first contract vote
was six to one against the contract, Wen2J said.
"However, the second vote on
a contract wlilch contained only
promises and no money went
down by only a handful of votes
because hundreds of troopers,
sergeants and members of the
Bureau of Criminal Investigation
failed to vote," he noted.
Empty Contract
" O u r Information from the
field indicates tiiat PBA is planning a third vote on tlie same
empty-handed
contract wliich
merely promises to get a retroactive pay raise from the Leglslatui-e. They must take this vote
before Sept. 4 so as to avoid a
challenge by CSEA and a subsequent representation election,"
Weiuil clxarged. "The PBA's sole
purpose at this time is to protect its current bargaining stat m . W « also undarsttuMl that the
word is being put out that there
Is a pay raise of sorts in the
latest contract. This is absolutely
false. Only the State Legislature
can ai>prove a pay raise or a
full contract, and they are not
in session."
The CSEA leader said that the
time has come for State Police
members to be represented by a
labor organisation which has the
resoiirces and the talent to negotiate for and represent them.
Wenid urged the State Police
members to vote In big numbers
against the conti'uct.
" W e can work with PBA in
its role as a fraternal organization," he said. " B u t leave the
real driving — gettiiMJ a union
contract with good benefits — to
us."

An Important Victory
E BELIEVE the very soul of the Merit System in State
civil service has been preserved—for the time being,
at least, by a decision of Albany Supreme Court Justice John
L, Larkin who recently ruled against a program of the State
Civil Service Department which would give certain ethnic
and minority groups preference in job appointments.
No matter how well intentioned the program was, the
Civil Service Department, as Justice Larkin noted, overstepped its "statutory authority."
There were a goodly number of things wrong with the
program. First of all, while it was basically an attempt to
bring Blacks and Puerto Ricans directly into the management of government affairs through special considerations,
it discriminated against persons of the same ethnic background who had been in State service for years.
One of the qualifications was a so-called "recognizable
identification" with the particular jobs being offered. Here,
it was observed, a reverse implication is indicated—that the
same person might be disqualified from other public employee jobs because he did not have a so-called recognizable
Identification.
Most important to us, however, is that the program
breaks the Civil Service Law by making exceptions to the
mandate of hiring and promoting through merit and examination. Once an exception is made, the door is open
for breaking up the Merit System entirely and returning the
whole field of civil service employment to the tragic game
of political spoils.
Attorneys for the Civil Service Employees Assn., who
argued the case, are to be applauded for the lucidity of their
arguments in behalf of the Merit System and we fervently
hope that, should the decision be appealed, Justice Larkin's
wise ruling will be sustained.

Social Security Questions & Answers
Q. If I decide to work for another year or two beyond my
65th birthday must I wait until
I stop work to be eligible for
Medicare coverage?
A. No. You become eligible for
Medicare as soon as you become
65, whether you're retired or
still working.
B u t to make sure your full
Medicare protection begins the

check with your social security
office 2 or 3 months before your
65th birthday.
Q. Does Medicare's medical insurance help pay a doctor's bill
only when I ' m in a hospital?
A. No. Medical Insurance will
help pay ior
the services! of
doctors no matter where they
are
received hospital,
office,
home, or elsewhere. Other medical services for which medical
Insurance will help pay Include
certain diagnostic services; Xray or other radiation treatments; surgical dressings, splints,
easts, braces, and tlie use of a

also be able to sign up, if you
wish, for Medicare medical insurance, which helps pay doctor bills and other medical costs.
You may not be able to buy
private health insurance that
equals the coverage of Medicare.

Q. 1 get VA disability benefits. Can I get disability benefits from social security, too?
A. Yes. if you meet the social security disability requirements. The fact you get VA
payments will have no effect on
social security benefits. The disability requirements for social
security are different t h a n the
requirements for the VA benefits however.
Q. My husband and I receive

we receive separate checks?
A. Yes. Checks for married
couples usually are combined to
save administrative costs and to
save check cashing fees. But, if
you'd rather get separate checks,
just send a written request, signed by you or your husband, to
your vgclal security office.

Law & You

Personal Service Contracts
(Second of two-part article on Personal Service Contracts)
THE SUBCONTRACTING by schools through personal
service contracts has been the subject of both litigation and
recent contract negotiations.
IN REJECTING a demand prohibiting subcontracts, a
fact-finder made the following statement:
The fact-finder must reject this proposal. The
board of education, being elected by the taxpayers of the district, owes an obligation to the
public to provide necessary services in the most
economical and efficient way possible. If in its
judgment, it can cause a task to be performed
in a more economical or efficient manner, by
contracting for same, it should not be constrained by a contractual provision guaranteeing its
employees jobs and thus negating the economies
sought. For the board to do otherwise, could
conceivably give rise to a taxpayer's suit for
dereliction of duty. 4 PERB, Par. 6011, p. 6633.
IF THE FACT-FINDER'S decision Is correct, then the
sole test will become economic necessity. This would lower
the low water mark far below that set in the Corwin case.
It would permit government by independent contractors,
either through competition or otherwise. In addition, the
economics of personal service contracts Is not readily subject to a strictly objective test. For example, if the independent contractor is himself an Individual who is on a
New York pension or hires persons who are on such pension, the cost to the public for having the individual so
employed would not merely be the salary but also should
Involve the economic factor that In all likelihood such person would not be entitled to his New York State pension If
he was now employed by a public employer in the New York
State Retirement System. Such an arrangement, however,
is not an unusual circumstance, but there is no litigation
on the Issue of whether or not such an arrangement is In
fact a subtrefuge and illegal. Of course, quality and competency as well as the long run result to government of such
contracts are extremely subjective matters.
THE COURTS HAVE examined personal service contracts from schools with the same tests used in other governmental personal service contracts. Thus, public school
custodial contracts have been upheld on the basis that this
Is within the discretion of the school board to provide. Beck
V. Board of Education of City of New York, 295 N.Y, 717. The
use of elevator operators as part of such custodial contracts
has also been upheld. Guastoferrl v. Board of Education of
City of New York, 270 A.D. 946. In addition, the usual architectural and engineering contracts are permitted, Hardecker
V. Board of Education of City of New York, 292 N.Y. 584.
NEVERTHELESS, THE impact of the Taylor Law has not
been considered by the courts. PERB has held that it is an
Improper labor practice for an employer to unilaterally
chanp;e a substantial term and condition of employment
without collective negotiations—"Clearly, this constitutes a
failure to engage in good faith negotiations. It follows that
the respondent's unilateral action cannot be condoned, even
if based upon an erroneous legal premise or a bona fide business consideration." 3 PERB, Par. 8021, p. 8221-2, affirmed
4 PERB, Par. 3108. Thus, If would appear that the displacement of employees through the use of personal service contracts can now be attacked as being an improper labor practice if within the scope of the protections incorporated into
the agreement resulting from collective negotiations. Perhaps the only vestige of economic necessity for personal service contracts may come when schools are under an austerity' budget and find that they can subcontract for certain
services at no cost to the school district, e.g., cafeteria.
Otherwise, the Taylor Law may have returned the protection
afforded to public employees in the high water mark set
by the Turel ca£e.

Unused Vacation Time
To Be Computed On
Hetirement Until '72
Persons retiring before April 1, 1972, will be allowed to
use accumulated unused vacation time in computing their
retirement benefits, according to information received by
Randolph V. Jacobs, president of the Metropolitan Conference of the Civil Service Employees Assn.
Following numerous inquiries
on the matter, Jacobs wrote
the office of C?omptroller Axthur
Levitt saying:
"Several members of m y Conference area have raised questions as to the Intei-pretatlon of
Sec. 431 of Article 10 of the
Amendment to the Taylor Law
passed by the Legislature at Its
last session dealing with the
computation of retirement benefits.
" I quote. In part, 'the salary
base for the computation of retirement benefits shall In no
event include any of the following earned or received on or
after April first, nineteen liundi'ed seventy two.' The 'following' referred to in the preceding sentence includes vacation
Pfty.
'Please clailly what i i m e a u t
Office
by
'received.'
For
example,
should a prospective retiree with
a retirement date effective M a r c h
31, 1972, not receive his l u m p
sum vacation pay until after
April 1, 1972, will such vacation
pay not be Included in his retirement benefits though he had
earned same prior to April i ? "
J o h n S. Mauhs, counsel to
tlie Retirement System, replied
saying:
" T h e Comptroller has requested that I reply to your letter
dated J u l y 21, 1971 regarding
the provisions of section 431
of the Retirement and Social
Secuilty Law. A member of this
Retirement System who retires
on or before March 31, 1972 will
be considered to be In constructive receipt of any payment for
accumulated
unused
vacation
time on the effective date of his
retiiement, even though h i i em-
He Is a member of O u r Lady
of Lourdes; a f o u r t h degree
member of the K n i g h t s of Columbus; a former director of the
Central Waterworks Assoc.; a
former u n i t director of the Utica
Boys Club, and at present, a director of the Utica R e d Cross.
He was recently appointed to
the budget and constitution and
by-laws committee of the Central Conference.
Sunderhaft believes his judgement, experience, activity, courage and outspokeness have been
most helpful in promoting the
objectives of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. a n d all its public employees.

An Ounce Of Prevention
Is Worth A Pound Of Care
And Diagnosis Gives It
The doctor hesitated for a moment, then told the family how sorry he was and assured them that he had done everything possible. He started for the door, turned quietly
and said, "If we had only known earlier we might have saved him,"
Words like this are said every day as thousands of people of all ages suffer premature death and unnecessary
pain. Medical science has made
enormous progress in developijig therapeutic and curative
techniques. I n most every case,
however, the effectiveness of
those procedures is tied directly
to how soon the case is presented to the physician. And
unfortunately, on many occasions, the case is not presented
until it is too late.
I n recognition of this, medical
science has shifted much of its
emphasis to preventive medicine and specifically to early disease detection. As early as 1940
tiie American Medical Association encouraged this and stressed
the particular value of periodic
health examinations by stating
that through the employment
of a medical history, physical
examination and laboratory tests,
the major diseases which afflict
the population could be uncovered early. Dr. Elgeberg, Assistant Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, put it this
way: "The more we can go upstream and make a diagnosis
early in a disease, the more
we'll keep a healthy population
and the more we'll bring the
cost of health care down."
With this thinktng as keynote,
government and private sources
Initiated massive programs to
develop techniques ior uncovering pathology during early symptomatic stages. ElmphasLs was
concentrated on the principal
causes of death—diseases of the
heart and circulatory system,
cancer, lung diseases and diabetes. These efforts produced
enormous returns. New medical
techniques and test procedures
were designed, tested and made
operational.
The next major problem was
finding a way to make this technology available to the public.
Individual physicians could rarely afford the cost of the equipment and were hard pressed for
sufficient time to run routine
data-gathering tests. Those that
could were forced to set fees
well above the reach of most
of the population. W h a t was
needed was a way to organize
these tests into a comprehensive
examination system that would
be affordable and attractive to
patients and that would provide data to physicians In a clear
and acceptable manner.
Government and private sources have been working In this
area for the past 25 years. Systems have now been developed,
checked and proved. I t is estimated that 3 million people have
already had diagnostic evaluations at these centers and that
countless lives have already been
saved.
The Kaiser Multltest Center,
Metropolitan Diagnostic Institute
and Mayo Clinic were pioneers
in this field and are p>erhaps
the foremost Institutions of their
kind In the country today. Kaiser is the largest service on the
West Coast, Mayo in the Midwest and Metropolitan Diagnoetlc in the East.
These organizations have dedicated themselves principally to
early disease detection through
annual
health
examinations.
Typically, a patient receives a
FORCED OUT?
B A «
battery of tests administered by
trained technicians, a physical
examination by a specialist in Internal medicine and a consultation by a staff diagnostician. Results are sent to the patient in
report form and permanent copy
Is maintained in the testing center's data bank for year-to-year
trend comparison.
The value of these examinations is dramatically demonstrated by the findings published
by these organizations. Metropolitan Diagnostic reports that
one In every five adults is found
to have a significant abnormality requiring treatment to avert
serious disease. Kaiser, i n a
study of 40,000 supposedly normal individuals, found 24 percent to have abnormal chest xrays, 20 percent abnormal cardiograms, 9 percent hypertension
and hypertensive heart disease,
8 percent visual problems and 3
percent deficiencies. I n addition, 8 percent of women were
found to have osteoarthritis, 8
percent anemia and one in every
500, breast cancer—each of these
cancer cases was later proved
by surgery.
The significance of these results Is incalculable. I t means
that medical science Is able to
make early detection of impending disease and can now
make this service available in
an affordable and convenient
way to anyone who will, take
advantage of it. For thousands,
this can mean extended life; for
others, the prevention of serious disability.

Institute.
W h a t are these examination
centers like?
Typically, these centers are
located in major urban areas
and surrounding suburbs. Appointments are scheduled on request. Confirmation is received
by mail along with instructions
on preparing for the examination. Your first step on arriving is to register with the receptionist. At this time you are
given a personal chart that becomes the basis for your complete medical report. Following
this, your personal family medical history is taken and reviewed
in private. You are then brought
to your own examination room,
which also serves as a private
dressing room. Once you have
changed, your examination will
begin. The first step is a thorough physical examination by an
examining physician. A l l . parts
of your body are examli\ed;
pressure and pulse rate are
noted, and physical complaints
are checked out individually.
Should your physician have any
questions as to finding or diagnosis, specialists are available to
him for Immediate consultation.
Following this examination you
receive a 12 lead electrocardiogram. Tills is a mechanical writ-
ten record of your heart's action
and is the most accurate method
available for evaluating the condition of your heart. VarlouB
body
measurements

as

taken and made ai part of your
permanent record.
Y o u then receive a chest xray—Including heart and lunga
—to detect any abnormalities of
the heart and blood vessels M
well as respiratory diseases, tuberculosis and tumors.
The next series of tests involves laboratory procedures. A
urinalysis test is done to check
for the presence of diabetes or
kidney disease. A sample of your
blood is taken and subjected to
the following tests: red blood
cell and white blood cell, hemoglobin determination, hemato-,
crit determination and a differential blood smear are made
to determine the presence of
anemia or any disease of the
elements of the blood. Blood
alkaline phosphatase is a test
for liver function. Blood uric
acid is a metabolic test. Your
blood sedimentation rate is tested to determine the presence of
infection in your body. Your
blood is also tested for sugar to

Entries Reach 26,481
Approaching Deadline Serves
To Speed Fireman Prospects
Last-minute entries are being accepted for firefighters, a
position which has been open continuously since February
and will be shutting down Aug. 18.
Among City titles open this Summer, fireman has been
a n unusually strong attraction.
A Leader inquiry to the City Personnel Dept. uncovered the information that some 26,481 candidates have filed as of last
week.
The no-experlence-needed provision of this title, combined with
the rate of pay and other factors, has served to draw a substantial turnout. Other prerequisites Include having a high
school diploma or equivalency
and meeting rather detailed physical standards, because of the
arduous nature of the duties.
Metropolitan area residents
i n the 20-29 age range are welcome to file. A reduced height
requirement of 5-foot-6 is being
maintained.
High Pay Potential
The current picture places the
starting wage at $9,499. After
three years In the job, you'll be
getting $10,950 plus the chance
to apply for the next lieutenantF D N Y exam. I f you pass there
and are promoted, your new salary will begin at the $13,524
mark.
These figures, however, are subject to upward revision based
on the final accord reached between the City and the Uniformed Firefighters Assn. A considerable pay and benefits package
is likely to emerge, sources predict.
I n addition to a written, multiple-choice test, weighing 100,
a qualifying medical and physical test will be administered.
Portions of that test will include agility, strength in dumbbell lifting, abdominal strength,
pectoral strength and a power
broad jump. "Candidates must
qualify in every one of these
sub-tests," says the official exam notice.
The written test, moreover, will
pose questions on verbal ability,
reading comprehension. City government and current events, scientific and m a t h aptitude. O n
the medical test, candidates will
be rejected for "any deficiency,
abnormality or disease that tends
to impair health or usefulness."
One opportunity will be given
for re-examination if a written
request is submitted.
Fullest details on medical and
other standards appear on the
Department of Personnel Job
bulletins, available at 55 Thomas St., M a n h a t t a n , weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. For the
convenience of those not working in the area, the Department
also stays open until 5:30 on

How do patients feel about Ibis
type of examination?
Tlie United States Department
of Health. Education and Welfare. In its health service publication "Health
Examinations
and the Automated Laboratory,"
stated: "Almo.st without exception the reaction is favorable.
The patient is impressed by the
friendliness of the technical staff
and the thorougimess of the
tests and in the privacy of the
physician's office, the patient Is
equally pleased to find that the
opportunity for personal examination and oonsultatton remains."
W h a t are the cMtsT
The cost for the examination
Is one of the most significant
factors because It brings this
type of service within the reach
of most families. Ck).9t varies from
area to area but averages out
at only $65—a fraction of the
cost that would be required to
have the test done in a traditional manner.
How can yon take
of this service?
advantage
These centers are operating
right now In the Greater New
York area. Group Health Insurance ( G H I ) provides this as
a regular benefit to all of Its
policy holders. Many forwardlooking unions and professional
and business groups have also
made the service as part of the
health benefit programs they
provide their members or employees. If you are a member
of one of these groups you may
already be entitled to this.
The largest health examination center in this area is the
Metropolitan Diagnostic Institute. The Institute maintains facilities in M a n h a t t a n , Brooklyn
and Long Island and is now constructing a fourth site In northe m New Jersey. Most patients
are referred to it by participating
unions
and
professional
groups. I t is possible, however,
for an unaffiliated family to
take advantage of the service
by calling Metropolitan Diagnostic and requesting an appointment.
Apix)intments
can
be
scheduled within two weeks of
your request and can usually be
arranged at a convenient time.
The centers and their locations

W h a t of the future?
We have seen that a good
deal has happened In the past
25 years. Medical science has developed
advanced
techniques,
and health' examination centers
have turned these into affordable and
attractive
systems.
These centers are now available
In a few areas and are beginning
to expand to meet the growing
demand.
Dr. Morris Collen of the Kaiser
Foundation predicts that In five
to ten years every community of
Earlier...
100,000 or more will have a comprehensive examination center.
The recent forecast by the National Planning Association that
three out of every four persons living In the UJ5. in 1975
will reside In one of 224 metropolitan areas Indicates the potential contribution such a system could make to the health
need of the country. If this potential Is realized there will be
a revolution in health care delivery and we may see the day
when few will hear the words: " I f
we had only known earlier."
