Medical Center
(Continued from Page 1)
j
els, declaring himself in sympathy
with the project if the money j
could be found, said, "We will go
down in history as the spendingest
Board that has ever been in Hay
wood County. You have asked us
to earmark $2,000,000 for schools,
about three quarters of a million
for a hospital, only last month toj
start on an agricultural and home j
arts building?where do you want
us to stop? We will give serious
thought to this recommendation
and Me if there is any way to
take care of it."
The need for prompt decision
was stressed by several. With the
Federal Government committed to
a program of budget-trimming, it
was felt that at some future date
the Federal share might be pruned
below the present 70 per cent fig
ure. Jonathan Woody commented
that "v4Me I hate to see the Fed
take advantage of the opportunity
to get &l? help ri^fore it fs too
late. Any day that somebody of
fered tcp sell me a farm at a 71
per cent price cut, I'd take it
whetheifT needed the farm or not
??and the medical center is some
thing th& we definitely need."
Mr. W|>ody also stated that in
the eveqtthat the county's applica
tion for'?participation were approv
ed, and funds were not available in
this year's budget, the First Na
tional Bank could handle a "tax
anticipation" note at two per cent.
Dr. J. E. Fender, reporting on
his conversations with a number of
the county's doctors, stated that
* =
those with whom he had talked
were in favor of the center as a
sound business investment, as a
sign of progress of the county, as
a means of increasing the scope
and efficiency of the county health
department, and as a method of
increasing the county health level
as a whole.
Commissioner Frank M. Davis
concurred, saying, "It is a matter
of correction instead of picking up
the pieces after the wreck. If we
had this center, any number of
illnesses could be caught in the
early stages, any number of de
fects correctted before they be
came serious. The average parents,
for Instance, see their children
every day, and unless there's some
thing suddenly and drastically
wrong, they don't recognise any
trouble. But suppose one of our
nurses, or a teacher, suspects that
little Johnny is "dumb" in school
only because he is partially deaf.
She can send him to the center
for a thorough check-up. If they
find that he is becoming deaf, or
persistent minor
Infection, theyj will refer him to
own family doctor or will oth
erwise make sure that he has the
proper treatment."
The saving to the taxpayer by
such a program was brought out by
Clayton Walker. "Patients who can
not pay their hospital expenses are
a drain on the county treasury. If
we can catch 'em and cure 'em be
fore they are so ill as to require
hospitaliration, think of the sav
ing."
Mrs. Alma McCracken pointed
out the tremendous difficulty which
Haywood would have if faced with
Caldwell County's problem of mass
, polio inoculations. "That is the
center was discussed briefly Mr
tions indudcaatTa^taTTcr^"ac

Commissioner Jarvil Allison com
mented that well over an acre was
available on the hospital grounds
The possibility of a location be
hind the Court House was men
tioned, as the one-acre require
ment includes parking space, and
4 parking area is already available
responsibility of the county health
department." she said, "and at this
time it has neither the staff nor
the facilities to handle it. If we
had such an epidemic, the depart
ment would be forced to 'farm out'
a good part of its job to our local
Physicians."
The question of a site for the
at the Court House.
h8dvan,a*es ?f moving the
health offices out of the Court
House were brought out. Not only

AT STRAND WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY?John Payne and
Jan Sterling are teamed together for the first time in Paramount'*
brand new Technicolor adventure drama, "The Vanquished". Set
against the background of the old South during its most violent
era, the excitement-loaded film co-stars Coieen Gray and Lyle
Bettger and features Willard Parker.
Payne Hits Heroic
High In Film
The Vanquished'
A lusty tale of adventure taken
from the pages of the South's most
violent era is "The Vanquished,"
Paramount's brand-new Technicol- 1
or film drama at the Strand The
atre. Starring John rtiyne, Jan
Sterling, Coleen Gray and Lyle
Bettger with Wlllard Parker, the
film is Jam-packed with blazing ac
tion that doesn't let up from start
to finish.
Set against the colorful back
ground of a Southern town during
the bloody Reconstruction days fol-'
lowiing the Civil War. "The Van
quished" tells the tumultuous tale
of a returned Confederate Majbr
whose fight for justice makes him a
hunted outlaw. This heroic figure,
as portrayed by John Payne, see
ing how his town is being ruined
by corrupt carpetbaggers, throws j
in with the oontemptio'e parasites '
in order to gain evidence which ,
will ultimately destroy them.
His struggle to free the towp of
tyranny makes for some of the
most dynamic film fare to come our
way in many a day. The issue of
good versus evil flares throughout
the rousing proceedings and is fin
ally settled only after a goodly
share of blistering action has tak
en place.
As directed by Edward I-udwig
and produced by William Pine and
William Thomas. "The Vanquish
ed" emerges as a drama teeming
with the intrigue and treachery of
a changing era. It is screen enter
tainment at its exciting best, gear
ed to please the most discriminat
ing movie-goer. Don't miss it!
