vlat. invited to cooperate in his infant maternity service. We were really placed on probation, being given a trial, but we were assured of fair play and that was what we received. From this beginning we are now celebrating our twenty-fifth year of continuous service in this work. A list of our graduates who have served as residents on the service and in other capacities would require much space to present. Many of them have gained not only local, but national recognition. To name but a few, we see listed Doctors Glen Cayler, Ralph Smith, Wayne Dooley, Howard Merrill, Dorothy Marsh, Charles Mount III, Edward Reidel and a host of others. Many of them have served on the attending staff of the Los Angeles County 'Osteopathic Hospital and are recognized as important staff members of the obstetrical departments of our various hospitals, not only in California, but in many other states. Although the service has been continuous throughout the years, there was a brief period when it was taken over by the county but, during that time, it was operated by our own physicians in a similar manner. The city is divided into areas and the large eastern area is known as the Los Angeles Maternity Service, Unit II, or the Osteopathic Division. Clinics are held daily in the large and specious facilities on East First Street. Here, the entire professional staff is made up by our own physicians. Much volunteer service has been given by our doctors over the years. Two residents are in constant attendance and supervise the students who are assigned junior and senior externships on the service. Dur- ing the junior service they not only observe but assist their senior in examining patients at the clinic and caring for deliveries both at the home and at the hospitals.
