close of a day-long meeting here
yesterday.
The new wing became a
strong possibility when .the
North Carolina Medical Care
Commission alloted $697,356?
or 44 per cent of \he total cost?
to the project at a 'meeting held
in Raleigh on Dec. 16. The
funds were made available by
the Hill-Burton Act of Con
gress.
The remaining $1,008,000 re
quired for the building had al
ready been pledged, contingent
upon the action of the commis
sion, by friends of the hospital,
the Baptist State Convention
and doctors connected with the
hospital and the Bowman Gray
School of Medicine.
In accepting the funds from
the commission and giftb from
those who supplemented them,
the general board yesterday
made the provision that "all
such funds granted by the North
Carolina Medical Care Commis
sion be repaid in services ren
dered."
Approved by Hospital Board
The hospital board of trustees
already had voted unanimous
approval of the project at a
called meeting held at the hos
pital Dec. 20. The action taken
yesterday by the general board
clears the way for immediate
action on construction of the
building.
Hospital authorities previous
ly had said a vote against accept
ance of a Federal funds would
be in effect a vote to close the
doors of the medical school and
turn the Jiospital into a second
rate institution.
Funds were made available on
only one provision?that the
hospital continue t o furnish
space for a .reasonable number
of indigent patients in propor
tion to the enlarged facilities.
Funds from the commission
were available with the one re
quirement that the hospital pro
vide "services tp indigent pa
tients over a period of years
which will constitute definite
and full services rendered by
the hospital." The Commission
can exercise no control whatso

Fobulous Christmas
For Kids On Road
Of The 99 Fords
The 22 children of Lower Elk
School on the isolated "Road of
the 99 Fords" had a big Christ
mas and they're grateful to the
people who made it possible.
A schoolteacher's letter to the
Governor opened the Road of the
99 Fords, which runs from Dar
by to Triplett in Caldwell Coun
ty, high up in the Blue Ridge
Mountains, and was first trav
eled by Daniel Boone.
The schoolteacher, Nora Ed
mondson, a lively woman of 70
plus who teaches geography
from a Mickey Mouse map and
a torn half of an Esse road map
in her one-room school, wrote
Governor Scott in October and
told him of the plight of the
school, her children and the
community.
The story of Miss Nora's mov
ing letter to the Governor and
the results it got was told by
Staff Writer Chester DaviB in
the Dec. 18 issue of the Winston
Salem Journal and Sentinel.
The article told of the isolat
sd and primitive conditions und
er which the children lived, of
the inspired activities of the
teacher and of the beginning of
i rebuilding project on the road.
Like her letter to' the Gover
ior, the story about Miss Nora
ilso got results.
Christmas presents for the 22
-hildren in the one-room school
it Lower Elk poured into the
solated district. In a letter to
he Journal yesterday, Miss Nora
old about it.
"Lower Elk School pupils and
eachers want to thank you for
he 'Big Christmas' that we have
iiad," she wrote.
Christmas presents came to
he children from all over North
ind South Carolina, from New
fork City, from Syracuse, N. Y.,
rom Macon, Ga., and St. Peters
>urg, Fla., she said.
^e had 18 large boxes of
he most expensive gifts that
:ould be bought," Miss Nora
idded.
"And they're the happiest kids
n the world," the veteran
ichoolteacher told the Journal
ast night.
I wish you could have seen
?ital, and full repayment will be
nade in services rendered indi
rent patients over a period of
'ears.
