PREJUDICE
Many a man's mind get lop-
aided juat because he carries i
chip on his shoulder.
It is the first time Aston Park
Hospital has ever gone to the pub
lic for money.
At first, the funds trickled in.
But now the volume has grown to
a steady flow.
Not only money is coming in,
but more and more people are vol
unteering to help contact possible
givers, according to campaign
workers.
The old hospital needs $75,000
to pay accrued debts. The cam
paign has been running for three
months. Friday a mere $14,000
was lacking in meeting the goal.
Mrs. R. N. Dempsoy, Jr., of En
ka, chairman of her area, report
ed that recruiting workers is no
trouble. "Everyone I have talk
ed to is glad to go to work for
Aston Park," she said.
One of Mrs. Dempsey's workers
is arranging a benefit featuring
a local quartet of gospel singers.
Another has arranged with his
minister to distribute 200 "Please
Help Aston Park" folders at
church. Others are installing col
lection jars in places of business,
and soliciting from door-to-door in
out of the way areas.
Workers in Marshall are hav
ing a cake sale and a telephone
campaign, as are interested per
sons in Mars Hill.
A poignant letter came from a
Marshall hoy. It said:
"Dear Sir, I am nine years old
and I was a patient at Aston Park
Hospital last August. I enjoyed
being there. Everyone was very
good to me. I heard on television
that Aston Park Hospital may
have to close its doors unless the
money is raised. My family and
I would like to send a little bit.
Give my regards to Bill (tho
aide) and to the doctors and nurs
es. Yours truly, David Thomas."
Enclosed was a modest contri
bution, but a big one for a nine-year-old.
David is the son of the Rev. and
Mrs. Jack Thomas, of Marshall.
Mr. Thomas is pastor of the Mar
shall Baptist Church.
Drive co-chairmen Mrs. George
Shuford and Mrs. J. Bertram
King said the drive was being
received enthusiastically.
An anonymous gift of $2 came
wrapped in a slip of paper on
which was written "May God bless
you for helping His needy ones."
A check for $10 from a Hen
dersonville couple was marked
"For the Lord's work."
The siie of donations received
thus far range from $1 to $5,000.
The big one came direct to Su
perintendent of Nurses Mies Em
ily Mashhurn, thanking her and
her staff for the "wonderful care
and many kindness'' shown to a
former patient.
Drive chairmen particularly
thanked donors for the small $1,
$5 and $10 contributions.

The State of North Carolina
has juat published a new 64-page
guide to its travel attractions from
seashore to mountains at all sea
sons. The 1965 edition of "North Car
olina, Variety Vacationland," il
lustrated with more than 150 col
or photographs, is available free
on request to the State Travel In
formation Division, Department of
Conservation and Development,
Raleigh, North Carolina.
Parke, historical and recreation
al sites, sports, and outdoor dra
mas and summer theatres, festi
vals, and gardens are among the
many Variety Vacationland fea
tures presented in words and pic
tures. These features, in locali
ties from Atlantic Ocean beaches
to Southern Appalachian ranges
where there are the tallest peaks
in Eastern America, are within
a day's travel or less for more
than half the people in the U.S.A.
"Variety Vacationland is far
more than a slogan in North Car
olina," writes Governor Dan K.
Moore in his introduction to the
new travel guide." It is an ac
curate description of a state that
offers the visitor matchless vaca
tion adventure. There is exciting
contrasts and warm hospitality
along each of the more than 500
miles that range from rugged
Cape Hatteras on the coast to the
Blue Ridge and Great Smokv
Mountains in the west.
"Visit with us in North Caro
lina. It will be a rich and memor
able evperience. A warm welcome
awaits you."
The travel guide was prepared
by the staff of the State Travel
Information Division. Photo
graphs are by Division personnel
and other North Carolina photog
raphers.
PROBLEM SPOT
A nice little old lady was con
suiting a nurseryman about a
problem spot in her yard. "What
would you suggest," she asked,
for a spot that is hand-packed
clay located in a heavy run-off of
water frm the next yard and gets
little or no sun?"
"Lady," answered the nursery
man, "how would you like a nice
flagpole?"

The little four-year-old daugh

Mother, I want to see my dad

plied. "Daddy is busy and must

Again she made her request and
