"HOSPITAL WEEK" ?
We, as a nation, are known for our
special "days" and "weeks", of which
there are now, we feel, entirely too many.
But there is one week we do feel that has
a real purpose and that is "North Carolina
hospital week", which we are observing
this week, May 9 thru 15.
Now we don't pay too much attention
to special "days" and "weeks" as a rule,
but with North Carolina hospital week,
we want to make an exception, and give
our hospitals a pat on the back. We think ^
many of them deserve it. We would be
among the first to admit that our hospitals
are not perfect. We realize that they
could make many improvements which
would help them and the public alike.
But in spite of this, we feel that most of
the hospital criticism we hear is un-called
for and unjustified.
Tir~ 4-U.A4- if io fit+incf that C.

J. Harris hospital is holding open house
in observance of the opening of the new
wing to the building during this special
"week". In so doing it takes our hospital
out of that class which can be criticized
for not making improvements. Our little
hospital has just about completed a big
expansion program which will make it
of more benefit to the public in general.

County and is being operated
strictly for the use of those needing
hospital care. However, the

~~ Much money has been saved in
