RALEIGH -(Special)
Worth Carolina must brace it
m&t for a heavier impact than
other states when the
ijphrernnient's new "medicare"
program becomes effective
next year, according to flg
«N released here today.
"there are only 72 advanc
ed mining hemes in the en
tire state, while the rest of
the nation has an average of
300 per state," it was re
pealed by D. K. Appleton,
who heads a newly-formed or
ganization called Medicare
Nursing Centers of America
with headquarters in Raleigh.
In addition to the handicap
•f starting with only '6 per
cent of the national average,
government figures show the
nethWs total must be increas
ed more than 400 per cent
within the next four years in
Older to meet the needs crea
ted by medicare.

"This means Korth Carolina
actually will need about 10
time* as many nursing homes
as now are available," Apple
ton noted.
The North Carolina Board
of Health furnished the fig
ure of 72 nursing homes in
the state—but Appleton noted
that only 43 are listed as full
nursing homes while the other
29 are listed as combined
nursing hemes and rest homes.
Tar Heel Needs
Official figures of the U.
S. Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare show there
were only 2,832 "acceptable"
nursing home beds in North
Carolina last year, and that
an additional 20,353 beds were
needed.
By comparison. Florida was
listed with 10.467 acceptable
beds and was said to be in
need of an additional 11,441
beds.
And Pa., credited with 12,-
863 acceptable beds, was re
ported to be in need of 43,-
990 additional beds.
"Nationally, the shortage in
nursing home beds will be
more than twice as acute as
the shortage in hospital beds
when the medicare program
is under way," Appleton said.
Some 150,000 additional hos
pital beds will be needed, but
the shortage in nursing home
beds will be more than 320,-
000."
He explained that the flood
of medicare patients into hos
pitals will create a critical
need to move as many pa
tients as possible out of high
cost hospitals and into low
cost nursing homes where
they can still receive profes
sional care during their re
covery.
Also contributing to the
impact on North Carolina fa
cilities will be the high per
centage of retired people who
have been attracted to the
state, he noted.
"This will cause North
Carolina to have an even lar
ger percentage of senior ci
tizens than the present na
tional average of 10 per cent"

Gaii Over '64
Of 19% - Record
Greensboro Receipts of
the 1965 Heart Fund campaign
in North Carolina totaled
more than $651,000, Mrs. J.
Spencer Love, of Grecaßbora,
state chairman of drive, re
ports.
These returns, which do
not include bequest income,
represent a 19 percent in
crease cover the 1964 campaign
tally of more than $547,000.
Receipts of the annual fund
raising effort of the North
Carolina Heart Association
and its local chapters and di
visions were less than $200,-
000 in 1955 but have climbed
steadily each year since that
time.
Heart Fund receipts this
year exceeded receipts of any
other voluntary health agency
in North Carolina. This year's
Heart Fund gain represents
the second largest campaign
in the United States, with on
ly California Heart Associa
tion showing a larger increase
over 1964.
Final national receipts of
the American Heart Associ
ation, of which the state or
ganizations are affiliates, are
expected to top $34-million
this year.
The American steel indus
try during 1964 used enough
electricity to supply the total
power needs of New York Ci
ty plus eight other cities the
size of Denver.
Use of steel by American
railroads rose 35 per cent
from 1963 to 1964, as they
underwent a technological re
volution to improve service
and profitability.
Races At
Charlotte
Charlotte, N.C—Race driv
en Buddy Baker and Dick
Hutcherson, who will be com
peting in the sixth annual Na
tional 400 race on October 17
at Charlotte Motor Speedway
have both made additions to
their personal biographies.
For the professional foot
ball sized Buddy it is a 9 lb.
baby boy born to he and his
wife, Coleen, on September 10.
Buddy, who is currently en
joying his best season since
he began racing on the NAS
CAR late model stock car cir
cuit in 1958, will be behind
the wheel of hid father's 1968
Plymouth powered by the re
noun ed hemi-head engine. This
is the same car he drove to
second place finishes in the
Firecracker 400 at Daytona,
Fla., and Darlington, S. C. on
Labor Day.
The 6'5", 230 pounder drove
as relief pilot for his father,
Buck, who had started his six
teenth Southern 500 in the car.
Buck has filed his entry for
the National 400 fall classic
in a 1965 Chevrolet.
Buddy, currently in the top
10 in the national point stand
ings, will be shooting for a
place in the first five positions
in the championship stand
ings by virtue of a high finish
in the $54,400 Charlotte race.
Dick Hutcherson, second
only to Ned Jarrett in the
National Championship battle,
has announced his entry for
the 400 mile, 267 lap speed
fest and his move from Keo
kuk, lowa to Chariote as a
home town.
The National 400 will be
Hutcherson's second start on
the mile and a half Charlotte
track. His introduction to the
24 degree banks and fast
straight a ways came in the
World 600 race last May when
the father of three finished
[third !h*d Loiwnmr>
and Karl Balmcr.
Hutdwrno will drive a gold
and white IMS Ford prepared
by the famous Charlotte rac
ing firm of Hoiman and
Moody. It was the Charlotte
location of Hoiman -Moody that
prompted Hutcherson's move.
"When you nun the full
NASCAR schedule, you need
a central location to minimise
travel time." commented the
nine year veteran of racing.
"Living in Charlotte I'm close
to the chop and I can get to see
the family more."
