While that movement failed, LSU did establish a medical college in New Orleans in 1930, and the 1966 legislature has authorized a branch of that medical col-, lege in Shreveport, which will open in die fall of 1967. PERSONAL NOTICE: There are four books that should be purchased and read and reread by every person in our state who is interested in higher education. They are: 1.

"Tulane, a Biography of a University by Dr. John P. Dyer, published by Harper. 2. "Louisiana State University by Dr.

Walter Fleming, LSU Press, son-in-law of David F. Boyd. 3. "Thomas Duckett Marcus Wilkerson, LSU Press. 4.

"William Preston A. M. Shaw, LSU Press. These are the stories of men who I feel are the gallant warriors against ignorance in our state. Sometimes these men were bitterly opposed one to the other, but always each was motivated by what he felt was the best interest of education in our state.

The discouraging part of this history is the lack of support these men received from those who should have supported them. This is written to let our present leaders know what their predecessors have undergone, and to encourage them in their own efforts to carry on in their struggle to give Louisiana youth equal opportunity for effective quality education with the best in our country. -o-O-o-Stinks! A drunk lying on the floor of bar began to show signs of life, so one of the customers smeared a little limburger cheese on his upper lip. The drunk arose slowly and walked out of the door. In a few minutes he came back in.

Then he went out again only to return in a few minutes. Shaking his head with disgust, he said: "it's no use the whole world stinks."

A group of small children did up a neat little sports model in a colorful collage of paints and imagination. Car painting is the brainchild of Chrysler-Plymouth dealer Mel Wolff.

His original cars were done in bouncy checks and stripes by artist Tom Strobel and, says Mr. Wolff, they plan to custom paint cars for any of their customers who request it.

Mr.

Zerben Bienvenu reported on the state of the treasury which was recently boosted! by the Firemen Company's sponsoring of a carnival in the' State Park. Mr. Bienvenu was commended for his fine work as treasurer. Fire chief John Douet recognized the firemen who answered the call of duty at two fires during the month of October. On October 17 Chief Douet and Deno Boudreaux answered a call from Cade where a cane cutter belonging to Ulysse and Percy Delahoussaye burst into flames probably caused by a broken gas line.

Mr. Delahoussaye was coming out of a row of cane when flames shot over his head. He escaped without injuries. On Sunday October 15 Walter Leleux, Deno Boudreaux, Ralph Beslin and Alfred Delahoussaye sped down theTerrace Road to a grass fire spreading on the property of Lester Four-net. When the truck arrived men were trying to beat out the fire with sacks while tree branches near the fire burned out of their reach.

The firemen quickly ex-tinquished the fire in the trees and helped the sack swinging fire fighters to control and ex- tinquish the grass fire which was halted three feet from a cane patch. -o-O-o- Garden Club Continued from page 1) ties for your exhibits soft drink bottles or milk bottles, depending on the size of the specimen.

-o-O-o- Medicare Recipients "Show your medicare card to your doctor where you go for treatment" advises Durelle L. Allen, social security district manager. Persons 65 or over who are insured under medicare receive an identification card with red, white and blue stripes across the top. The card shows their name, claim number, and the date that protection begins under hospital or medical insurance or both. "Most doctors have a supply of the forms which are used to claim benefits under the medical insurance part of medicare," Mr.

Allen says. "The patient arranges for the payment of the first $50 of doctor bills in a year. Medicare pays 80 percent of the reasonable charges of the rest of the covered medical services." Payment of doctors' bills is handled in either of two ways. The patient and his physician decide which method will be used. Payment may be made (h directly to the doctor if he agrees to send in the claim; or (2) to the patient who pays the doctor and gets an itemized receipt to claim repayment himself.

If hospitalization is necessary, the physician arranges for the admission of his patient. The beneficiary accepts responsibility for payment of the first $40 of hospital costs in eaeh spell of illness, and the hospital claims payment of the remainder of the reasonable cost. Anyone can get additional information about the health insurance from his social security office.

Hunt, was one of the leaders who were most active in behalf of es If we didn 9t you wouldn a By Joel L.

Fletcher In previous columns I have written of the achievements in higher education in Louisiana carried out by the Boyd brothersDavid French, and Tho-mas Duckett Boyd. These two brothers came into this state from their native Virginia just prior to the War Between the States. David French Boyd served as a professor on the first faculty of the Louisiana State Seminary, later Louisiana State University. At the close of the war David French Boyd became the president of thai university, and for the next sixty-two years he and his brother Thomas were the most influential leaders in the development of that university. Less known, but just as important from an educational standpoint, was the service rendered to the University of Louisiana, afterwards TulaneUni-' versity, by the Hunt brothers.

Three of these brothers and a nephew all served that university in administrative offices during the nearly fifty years from the time of its beginning in 1835 as the Medical College of Louisiana, then the University of Louisiana, until it became the nucleus of Tulane U-niversity when it was chartered in 1884. The Hunt family of South Carolina held an important place in the history of that state. All of these brothers were well-educated, brilliant leaders in their own professions two being lawyers and the third a doctor. It is said that the Hunts left South Carolina because members of that family had actively opposed John C. Calhoun, then very powerful in both that state and in the nation, in his nullification movement.

Theodore Gaillard and his brother Dr. Thomas Hunt came to New Orleans in 1830, while their brother Randall Hunt joined them there a year later. Dr. Thomas Hunt was one of the seven young doctors who formed the Medical College of Louisiana in 1835, the nucleus of the University of This university was authorized by the Convention of 1845 and created by an act of the Louisiana legislature in 1846. Dr.

Thomas Hunt is listed as one of the leaders who prepared the legislative act under which the University of Louisiana was created. While this institution existed from 1835, when it was opened as the Medical College of Louisiana, until 1884, when it was taken over by the Board of Administration of the new Tulane University, the funds appropriated by the state were very meager and were used largely for buildings and equipment. This institution, much like its companion upstate, Louisiana StateUniversity, was kept open largely through the efforts of its leaders, prominent among whom were the Hunts. According to the best of my information their services may be listed as follows; 1834. Dr.

Thomas Hunt was one of the seven young doctors who formed the Medical College of Louisiana, and was first dean in 1834-1835. 1846. Dr. Thomas Hunt again Dt-w the Medical School, helped prepare the bill which created the University of Louisiana. 1847.
