Yates Makes Appeal
For Bond Approval
Editor, "Watauga Democrat":
When you IK seriously ill
and need hospital attention and
cannot gat it, you have a des
perate and discouraging situa
tion. The present hospital in
Boone ia good but much too
small and limited. This ia a
matter you cannot afford to
gamble with.
The opportunity of a lifetime
is yours on September 1? when
you vote for a bond isaue to
erect a new, large hospital for
which, as the Hoepital Cam
paign Committee has so well
stated, the State and Federal
Government will put up $2 for
every $1 you authorise. To vote
"Yes" is to make an invest
ment for the future and to pro
tect yourself and your family.
I cannot stress too stroagly
the imperative necessity of vot
ing "Yes" on this hospital bond
issue ob September 17th.
Abo of tremendous import
ance for the present and future
education of your children is
the urgent need fer a consoli
dated high school in Boone,
which is centrally located for
Watauga County. To meet this
need, you are urged to vote
"Yes" for the bond issue to
authorise this magnificent and
much needed improvement in
our oounty educational system.
At the reeent Jaycee meeting,
fall and revealing testimony was
given whieh established without
question the justification for
this additional expenditure.
Here, again, is a vital matter
where you simply cannot afford
to pinch pennies.
