1 2 WNC Funeral Homes To
Stop Ambulance Service
Twelve funeral homes in Bun
ombe, Haywood and Madison
counties have announced they will
discontinue ambulance service to
the general public at midnight
June 30.
The announcement noted that
'because of the necessity for pur
hasing complicated and expensive
equipment, the maintenance of 24-
hour service and the advancing
demands of the wage and hour
laws, the continuation of this ser
vice has become economically un
feasible.
"Consistently we have suffered
great financial losses which have
been highly detrimental to the con
tinued operation of our facilities
n the best funeral home tradition.
We have postponed our decision
to discontinue ambulance service
when the same should have been
done many years previously."
The announcement was not
igned by seven funeral homes in
Buncombe County, including five
Negro funeral homes, and one in
Haywood County.
The twelve which will discon
tinue service are Anders-Rice;
Lewis; Dunn and Williams; Groce;

our earnest conviction that the
community will be able to replace
this service by some adequate
means or facilities. We extend
our knowledge and our personal
efforts to this end."
The decision apparently will
place the burden of providing
ambulance service on the govern
ing bodies of the cities and coun
ties affected.
Asheville City Manager J. Wel-

city's Public Safety Department
and the Police Department to
make a study to determine whe

service after the announced dis
continuance date.

Funeral Home, said that Negro
funeral directors are considering
whether to take similar action, but
that no decision has been made.
Other funeral hemes in Ashe

and Wilkins Mortuary.
Asked about the decision, J.
William Hendon of Morris-Hen

ed that the demand for ambu
lance service has become so great
that "we cant function in our
proper capacity as funeral homes.
Last year the loss to the 12
funeral homes who signed the
announcement amounted to some
$100,000.00. There is no law
which requires people to pay for
ambulance service, and our col

50 per cent."

service as a public utility.
Under such legislation, he said,
ambulance operators would come
under the jurisdiction of the State
Utilities Commission.
He pointed out that the trend
is toward abandonment of ambu

noting that Henderson County
has been operating such a service
for some time.
On the other side, Glenn West

that his firm will continue to pro

"We just want to take care of

off and leave the people who keep

Although his firm does lose
money by providing the service
West said, his firm will continue
doing so until some solution can

Vote On Bill Next

RALEIGH Madison County
Democrats traded harsh words
here Wednesday over a Republi
can sponsored bill to oust the
present County Board of Educa
tion and its politically controver
sial chairman, Zeno Ponder.
The verbal exchange came at a
public hearing by the House Edu
cation Committee.
The bill was introduced by Re
publican Rep. Mrs. F. Crafton
Ramsey. It would install a new
five-member bipartisan board
June 1 to hold office until 1966
when members would be elected
on a non-partisan basis.
At present the county board ia
appointed by the General Assem
bly and all of its five members
are Democrats.
But some 200 Madison resi
dents, many identifying them
selves as Democrats, showed up
here to support the effort to re
move the Democratic board from
office.
Two Democratic spokesmen
vigorously protested the way the
present board operates schools in
the county while two other Dem
ocrats, including the school su
perintendent, defended it
The House committee, al of
whose members are also Demo
crats, postponed voting on the
bill until next weak.
Dr. W. 0. Duck of Mars Hill
told the committee Madison "has
had enough and perhaps too much
adverse publicity. The people are
tired of it."
He said much of the present
trouble in the school system stems
from a crisis in 1961 when the
principal of Mars Hill's School,
Ralph NeiU, was fired.
That resulted in a student boy
