C^k t/ou NORTH CAROLINA Today, North Carolina's doctors and nurses by the hundreds are serving with our Army and Navy from Alaska -to Iran, from Australia to Italy ? bringing back to health the men who are helping win Victory for the United Nations. But on the home front, other thousands of doctors and nurses are fighting doubly hard to keep their fellow-citizens of North Carolina in good health ? doing everything in their power to prevent or minimize interruptions in our State's war effort - In a Very real sense the well-being of North Carolinians is in the capable hands of approximately 2,500 physicians tand surgeons and about 6,500 nurses. At their disposal are the facilities of 166 hospitals' which have beds for nearly 25,000 patients at one time. In an aver age year more than 270,000 patients are admitted to these institutions. To the North Carolina State Board of Health goes well-deserved credit for the high standards of medical care prevail ing in our State. We of the Greyhound Lines pay tribute to these fellow-citizens of ours who are doing so much to make our State a finer place to live in. They're doing a big job ? a vital one. Greyhound's job is quite different ? but vital, too! Providing safe, convenient transportation service is particularly important now. By making near neighbors and good neighbors of all the communities we serve in North Carolina, we are helping unify the war efforts of this State ? keeping them rolling toward Victory!
