KANSAS, THE BIRTHPLACE OF OSTEOPATHY Kansas State Osteopathic Association (Incorporated) A DIVISIONAL SOCIETY OF THE AMERICAN OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION Executive Office, 721 First National Bank Building WICHITA, KANSAS MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE Clay Center, Kansas. November 4, 1938 Dr. Forrest C. Allen, 801 Louisiana St., Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Dr. Allen: We hope you are digging in a little deeper and telling your friends and patients just what the Gleason decision of the Supreme Court means. It is a set back in our fight for professional rights but it is also the spur which will urge us on to the fight for a better law and a better understand- ing by the people of Kansas. Doctor Allen, we need you in this coming battle. The last legislative seesion found the Chiropractic forces di- vided by Allopathic promises to a few who thought they could qualify as physio-therapists. Let us not be deceived into dividing our forces. A united front will be a prime necessity. Numbers will be important for the Kansas Association must speak for all D.O.s instead of for two-thirds or even three- fourths of those in the state. There is a lot of work to do and we need you to help. You need membership in the Kansas Association for sev- eral reasons. You may not be chosen as the 'guinea pig' for a test case, but if you should be, it would be much easier to fight with the KSOA in your corner. The Western Union and Montgomery Ward Companies have recently changed their regulations so that Osteopathic Phy- Sicians may practice under their Employees Compensation sys- tems. However membership in your professional societies will be a prerequisite. The WPA may now allow Osteopathic care for those on relief but your acceptance as a staff physician will depend upon your professional standing judged by your membership in your professional societies. Herewith is an Application blank which you should fill out and have signed by two members who can end will recommend you to the trustees. The dues vary with the year of practice and should be sent with the application to Dr. Hanna. Make your check to the Kansas “tate Osteopathic Association and help us win the battle for Free Choice of Physician. Yours fraternally, MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE, Lawton M. Hanna, D. 0O., Chm.
