Provisions of the measure include care in nursing homes for the elderly un der the prescribed conditions. Most of the better nursing homes al ready in existence are taxed to capacity now. When the new program is put into effect, the demand will become more acute almost instantly. A group of North Carolina business men, along with some from other sec tions of the country, has seen the pos sibilities raised by these prospects and has been quick to take advantage of the situation. , The group, which includes former Gov. Terty Sanford and a number of doctors, plans to establish a number of nursing homes throughout the country. A 108-bed facility already is nearing completion in Raleigh. The new firm. Medicare Nursing Centers of America, Inc., also has acquired a Charlotte build ing which is to be converted into a 100- bed facility. Others are planned in the Need For Straight Thinking It is generally acknowledged that we live in a world of confusion, but the average citizen does not realize that he may be contributing to the confusion. Emotionalism supplants sober thinking. Splinter groups organize around a pro fessed high ideal, but in their whole con text there is a denial of what they preach. Their one cry is: "Stop Commun ism." We have tried to Stop Communism, and it has increased. The more we try to stop Communism the more it grows. We need a new word—PREVENT Com munism. Remove the conditions which create Communism and it will have noth ing to go on. We have not been wise in our giving away so much money, but Dr. Albert Schweitzer is dead at the «ge of ninety. He was active in his min istry to the sick until a few days before his death. He was not only a great phy sician, but a great musician, theologian and philosopher. He was also the author of many books. In any of these fields Dr. Schweitzer could have found fame and fortune, but he chose to the jungles of Africa and set up a hospital to care for the needs of an illiterate, poor, and superstitious people, with special em phasis upon the lepers. We were talking with a lady about him, and she remarked that many people did not like his the ology. many criticized his methods of work. We reminded her that many did not like the teachings of Jesus, and were severely critical of His ministry of heal iip, We might note here that the critcs ofthose who are doing things, rarely ever demonstrate their philosophy or methods by practical efforts. They prefer, not being able to play the game, to sit in the grandstand and criticize the players.li Participation demands training, dedica-lj tion, and self-sacrifice-too costly for cri-H tics. |f From Tivo News Items-Focus On Raw Inequity (From Mooresville Tribune) A recent editorial in The News of Fensacola, Florida, reminded us once a gain of the blatantly inequitable ar rangement under which investor-owned power utilities must operate in this country. . The editorial brought to mind the $2. billion figure used by Duke Power Company to describe its projected in vestment in power production along the Catawba Valley. The commentary i was based on two news stories that put Lthe dilemma of taxpaying companies P versus tax-devouring coops in sharp t contrast. One news Item told about plans of an investor-owner utility in Florida to spend some $46 million in the next Um years in expanding its operation. Money to finance the expansion is to be obtained through bank loans and bond sales at the going rates-about seven per Ottt. The second item explained that rural eleetrle co-ops In Florida are asking for an additional $36 million loan from the ; Rural Electrification Administration. future in North Carolina, Virginia and Florida. This is just a starter, officials of the group say. President D. K. Appleton of the Ra leigh-based organization said: "Our im mediate purpose will be to help ease the critical shortage of quality nursing home facilities which already exists and wheh definitely will be multiplied when the government-sponsored 'Medicare* prog ram takes effect next y?ar." The new nursing homes planned by this concern certainly will "help ease the critical shortage." There is the fact, too that operation of nursing homes in an ef ficient and businesslike manner usually means a tidy profit for the operators. It is anticipated, of course, that this new business enterprise will ever keep in mind all of the humanitarian angles involved, and that there will be no pos sibilities of "short-cuts" which might be detrimental to the health and well-be ing of the elderly clientele in the oper ation of these new nursing home faci lities. In other words, the "quality" must be assured if they are to succeed in every way. we might have had to spend more in weapons. We do need a new chart for our foreign aid, and we need, very much, some new motives for what we do. May be, you are a Republican; then work the Republican party to secure your aims. You may be a Democrat; then work through the Democratic party. To break off from splinter groups will serve only to destoy the effectiveness of either party. AND, let it be understood clear ly- these splinter groups are aiming at just one thing, and that is that their one poor little idea shall become the dominant one, and if they should suc ceed ir their aims freedom would go out the window. Their small piece will be come the whole. Death Of A Doctor Dr. Schweitzer had the joy and the deep satisfaction of those who trulyde dicate themselves to the service of man kind. He found what millions of wealthy, pleasure-seeking people never found since the highest satisfaction is found in self-giving, not self- - getting. At the heart of his philosophy was a REVER ENCE FOR LIFE-all life. He had a burning desire to share himself and what he had with others in order that he might lift them to higher levels of thought and life. He had much of the spi rit of the Gallilean who stood in the midst of humanity and cried; "I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly. "We like to think of what the world would be like if we had a few thousand men like Dr. Schweitzer, who would share their knowledge and service with others in his kind of sacri fice and dedication. Even a few thous and might change the world and banish I war. What the world is spending on war would, if spent in dedicated service to mankind, would eliminate the need for implements of war. The loan, if granted, will be made at an interest rate of less than two per cent. The investor-owner company pays taxes. This money is loaned to the com petition at a loss to the government, which pays a premium on the money it borrows for re-loan. Obviously, the in vestor-owned company is helping to subsidize its competition, just as is every other taxpayer. The News notes: "So we have this picture—Florida's electric co-ops are ex panding on cheap money subsidized by the public, are subjected to no rate reg ulations and pay no taxes. The pri vate utility, on the other hand, which Is one of the largest taxpayers in the Florida Panhandle, must do its expand ing on money obtained on the open market at going interest rates, and un dergo close regulations of rates and profits." What is true in Florida is, of course, true here and everywhere. We might keep this in mind when we se* those ads and hear those claims about the low-cost of co-og electric power service. V * 4.
