LETTER
Mrs. Martin's letter of resignation
Is as follows:
Board of Trustees of
Warren General Hospital
Warrenton
North Carolina
Gentlemen:
Feeling very keenly the recriminations
and personal enmities
In which the Board
of Trustees of Warren General
Hospital has been dealing
for many months without
decisive action thereby, in my
opinion, doing not only Warren
General Hospital, but also the
community which It serves, a
great Injustice, I hereby tender
to the Board of Trustees my
resignation as Executive Secretary
thereof effective Immediately.
B Is with feelings of mixed
emotions that I so do for, as you
all know, I have been with the
Board of Trustees since Its
formation in May IMS. I have
not always agreed with the action
of the Board, but, of course,
as Executive Secretary, I have
no voice In those actions. My
chief duty has been to record
and transcribe the minutes of
each meeting of the Board as
matters transpired therein.
This I have always done to the
best of my ability. I have never
let my personal feelings or
likes and dislikes for any Individual
enter Into my services
to the Board of Trustees of
Warren General Hospital. My
main concern in all of my associations
with the Board has
been the welfare of Warren
General Hospital, and that Ifeel
should be the main concern of
all people In Warren County.
During my years of service
with the Board I have seen the
Hospital flourish when fully
staffed with a surgeon and supporting
general practitioners;
this, of course, being the
"back-bone" of any hospital.
I have also seen the Hospital
struggle to remain open when
these services were not available
and practically Impossible
to obtain. I saw the Hospital,
In spite of overwhelming obstacles,
remain open through
the efforts of the Board under
the able leadership of a former
Chairman of the Board, the
late Honorable John Kerr, Jr.,
and through the faithful and dedicated
work and service of the
late Dr. Frank P. Hunter, and
the coming to Warren General
Hospital of a most competent
and skilled surgeon, Dr.
Charles Bunch, who chose to
Birds Winging South
In Autumn Migration
WASHINGTON - That harbinger
of wlnter-robln redbreast—Is
on the wing, flying
south.
For Guatemalans, the first
robin can be as sure a sign
of coming winter as It is a
traditional herald of spring
when It flies north with the
melting of snow In Illinois and
New Jersey.
The robin Is only one among
the thousands of species of
birds billions strong now taking
to the air In another repeat
performance of one of nature's
greatest spectaculars: the
twice-yearly migration of the
birds.
After centuries of watching In
wonderment, man still does not
exactly know how or why
birds may fly perhaps a third
or more the width of the world
every autumn, and then return
to their breeding grounds—
sometimes to the same nestin
the spring.
But scientists think they
finally may be closer to
solving the mystery, with
theories that may sound as
fanciful as the explanations
of the ancients, the National
Geographic Society says.
Aristotle and other philosopher-naturalists
of Greece noted
the migrations, but thought
swallows and some other birds
spent the winter In hiberna
settle in our community rather
than another which may have
been more lucrative to him.
The records speak for themselves
in showing what Dr.
Bunch has meant and still means
to Warren General Hospital and
the community.
In resigning from your midst,
I do hope that the Board will
reflect on these retrospective
remarks made by me and put
the welfare of Warren General
Hospital and our community
ahead of 'any personal feelings
and animosities It as a Body
or as individual members
may have for any individual.
Our community now, more than
ever, needs men to medical
ability and skill. Let us forget
self and go forward Instead of
backward.
With kind regards and good
wishes to each of you, I am,
Sincerely yours,
MRS. MANLEYS. MARTIN

New England's famed Purltan
preacher, Cotton Mather,
proclaimed "The Wild Pigeons
on Leaving us Repair to Some
Undiscovered Satellite Accompanying
the Earth at a near
distance."
Sparrows and some robins
seldom migrate at all, braving
the snow and cold, and
bobwhlte, quail, and cardinals
may never fly more than 10
miles from the nest where they
were hatched.
Other birds make epic
flights: The arctic tern migrates
from the land of the snowy
owl to the South Polar home
of the penguin, then returns
as the seasons change, perhaps
flying25,000milesayear.
Most bigger birds fly by
day, a few thousands of miles
without stopping to feed. But
90 percent of the migration is
at night, including that of most
small birds, despite the legend
that they hitchhike on the backs
of the bigger fliers.
Flocks of migrating birds do
ride prevailing north and south
winds.
How do birds navigate?
Scientists' elaborate experiments
indicate that some
birds, at least, may actually
use sightings of the sun and
stars.
Other theories indicate they
may find their way by somehow
sensing the varying forces
of gravity and magnetic attraction
around the Earth, or
by reacting to the Coriolls
force produced by the Earth's
rotation.
But birds are also apparently
not above taking shortcuts
on their migrations.
Swiss birdwatchers have reported
swallows flying through
a four-mile mountain tunnel to
Italy—better than flying over
the 8,000 foot Alps.
