Hospital Rules
Dnr Mr. Khrer*:
Having bnn ? patient at the
Watauga Hospital (or 10 days, I
?m ? patient when the new visi
tation rules and "The Visiters
Card" was Installed Personally I
like the mw system and feel oth
er people will like the plan when
they understand the complete
rales. The rule la In interest of
the patients. No one will be de
nied a visitor if they are interest
ed in the patients welfare. Actu
ally each patient can have 42- ten
minute visitors each day and 284
for the week.
The hospital facilities are over
crowded and the manager, doctors,
nurses, and entire staff are doing
a wonderful piece of work. The
above statements are my own ob
servations as a former board mem
ber and patient.

What ore the**
Rural Electric
Systems? . ? .
They are businesses
organized by groups
of neighbors to
provide themselves
with electricity.
Why, you ask? . . .
Welt, because ft was
the only way folks in rural areas
could get electricity. And the Member*
of a Rural Electric System are its owners,
who elect the Directors, who in turn
operate the business through a trained
and experienced management staff . . .
The money to build the line*? . . . Bor
rowed from REA, sure, and boing paid back, on tchodoUi
and with int#ro?t ... It's a good doal all around!

Dear Sin:
1 ?m 1b receipt of my February
4th iasue of the paper. Of course
it snnoys me very much that my

?polled In the article published;
"Preliminary Plana Made For
Garden On Horn In West Lands "
Also, that I am from Avery
county. I pay taxes in Watauga
county. So I think that it might
be Ml to correct this mistake. I
would prefer that it be a foot-note
on the front page. My correct
name ? spelling ? Nancy Beyer ?

Comments
Washington, D. C. ? Legislation
to set up a federally insured loan
program to establish adequate
housing for migratory farm labor
ers has been introduced in the
Senate by Sen. Harrison Williams
of New Jersey.
A spokesman for Williams' Sen
ate Labor Subcommittee on Hous
ing aaid the legislation will be "o I
particular benefit to states where
farmers work on a close margin
and cannot provide adequate hous
ing for their employees."
Fred Blaekwell, a Subcommittee
investigator and attorney, said the
idea for the legislation originated
with farmer; who said they would
like to provide better housing for
their workers, but don't have the
money for it.
Senator Williams' bill would es
tablish an insured loan program
applicable to persons who want to
build migratory labor housing in
rural areas.
It would also set up a direct
loan program for use by state and
county governments, farm organi
zations,, and Individual farmers
who want to build housing for
their migratory workers, at a "very
lew" interest rate.
The United State* Tariff Com
jdttoion conducted hearing! recent
ly to determine whether or not
tapioca floor thonld be removed
from the "duty-free" import list.
The Tapioca Importer* Associa
tion, and aupporter* from various
induatrie* which u*e tapioca pro
duct*. gave forceful argument* for
keeping tapioca flour on the lilt
of product* which thi* country per
mit* to bo imported without an
import duty.
Among lupporter* of the tapioca
importer* wai the domeitic textile
industry, which pointed out to the
Tariff Commiailon that tapioca ia
vital to the textile producer* at a
itiffening agent.
But potato producers from Maine
and Idaho urged the Commission
to place an import tax on tapioca,
because it poses a serious threat
to the potato industry.
They noted that tapioca is com
ing into the country in vastly In
creasing quantities, and that a 123
per cent Increase In import ton
nage ha* brought a crisis to the
potato industry In the United
States.
