Last week eight patients were out In the hall. The bond election which Is set for August 27,1966, If pass ed will relieve this situation. Plans are for 50 private rooms and baths to be added. This will relieve a badly overcrowd ed condition and assure more pleasant attention and service to the patient. Some comment has been ex pressed that this addition would raise taxes. However, in 1962 bonds were voted on to build the present hospital in the amount of a quarter mlllloo dol lars. Half of this bond Is roe has been paid off In cash without V raising taxes. According to a statement by County Auditor, Falson W. Mc Gowen: "It will be about three years before the proposed Hos pital Bonds are Issued. County e ? ' tax values have been Increasing approximately two million dol lars per year on new property. If these Increases continue for the next three years, the tax able valuation will be appro ximately six million dollsrs more than this year. The added revenue should amply take care of the annual bona payment Installments and not cause an Increase In taxes."

Duplin County education of ficials have been advised that additional student desegrega tion will be required to meet the requirements of the Civil Rights Act. In an effort to boost dese gregation, student transfers un aer the ??Freedom of Choice" plan again will be accepted din ing the period from August 18 through August 27. Following Is a letter from Ha rold Howe, n, U.S. Commis sioner of Education, explaln ? ing the situation in the Duplin Oounty School System; August 10,1966 Dear Mr. Johnson; My staff has reviewed the data on expected student and teacher assignments for the 1966-67 school year which you submitted to this Office In con nection with your plan for school I desegregation under die CMl Rights Act of 1964. You have reported that to the 1965-66 school year, 223 of your 6356 Negro pupils (4<5fc) attended school on a desegregated basis, and that for the 1966-67 school year you expect that 264 of 5066 Negro pupils (5.2$) will an end school on a desegre gated basis. AH of the white students will continue to attend schools originally established for white students only. On the basis of these student assignments reported by you, we do not believe thst your [ desegregation plan, as It has operated thus far , can rea sonably be considered adequate to accomplish the purposes of the Civil Rights Act. If you have additional Information regard big progress under your plan wnlch we should consider, this should be brought to our at tention. Your school board should con alder what additlnal stops It could take in order to make adequate progress in student desegregation for 1966-67. One step that has been found use ful by some school districts is to provide, after the regular choice period has ended, an additional opportunity for any one who has not yet done so A to transfer to a desegregated school Sample announcements for this procedure are enclosed for your consideration. Whatever steps you take to make your free choke plan ef fective , it should be under stood that their adequacy .will be measured both by the re sults they produce, and by the cjorti' mane by school autho rities to achieve improved per formance. if reasonable pro gress in student desegregation Is not achieved under tne fre choice plan, an alternative plan would have to be adopted. Memoers ot our stall stand ready to assist you and your board in meeting these respon sibilities. At your request, staff members will be happy to dis cuss these matters with you. I hope that at your earliest convenience you will let us know of the steps you will take to further the orderly process of desegregation in your school system. The earlier these steps are planned, the greater the time you will have before the opening of school to carry them out. Your reply on this matter should be addressed to Mr. Da vid Seeley, Assistant Commis sioner for EqualEducatlonalOp portunltles, U. S. Office of Edu cation, 400 Maryland Avenue, S. W., Washington, D. C. 20202. If there is any way we can help you at ths time with regard to making your dese gregation plan more effective, | I hope you will call on us with out hesitation. Sincerely yours, Rarold Howe Q U. S. Commissioner of Edu cation See the ad on legal page for further information.
