NEW VAMC HEAD MUST PROVE HIMSELF

IN RESPONSE to the letter April 19 from the new director of the Veterans Administration Medical Center: He needs to prove himself and not ride on past successes of his superiors. We need a doctor as director, not a politician. Even the chief of staff concurred in the letter. The doctors are the biggest problem, along with some other employees.

I'm happy to answer any questions by anyone, and my fees are as follows:

Simple answers, 50 cents; guesses, $1; intelligent answers, $2.50; honest answers, $5. Dumb looks are still free.

\ WILLIAM W. ARNOLD\ Past Commander, Disabled American Veterans\ ROANOKE
