has met with opposition. But the course of

We make this statement in view ui me
that there is some opposition toward approv

which this newspaper leels is essential auu
urgently needed NOW.
Back in 1921 when North Carolina began

many who opposed the program on the basis
that "it will cost too much".
Today one never hears of a North Carolin

costs too much", the bond issue was approveu,
and the hospital was built. Later those per

In recent years, an expansion to the hospit
al was deemed essential, and the voters turn

Soon after the original hospital election,
the progressive element of the county felt it
was foolish to continue to spena money un

who would be willing to sell the parking lot

Those who have opposed needed projects
in the past today realize that they have been

For a number of years the citizens of Hay

of school students has been increasing fast

Several months ago, after, several groups
had made surveys of school needs, a county
wide bond issue was called a program that
sets forth to the dollar what each county
school shall get. And again the same cry was
heard "it costs too much"..
... This county has grown, and attained prom
