IF WE CANT LEAD, LET’S BE
AMONG THE LEADERS
ROCKY MOUNT We art' glad
to bo back again, friends. We hope
it's permanent this time. This time
we were in ti'.e Rocky Mount Sani
tarium for a weeks observation
and while there word came .to the
effect that if we didn't hurry and
gt'i well the hospital would close
down on us.
This was due to decision ot the
owners that 37 years was as long
as they felt they couid sustain a
lose on their indicant patients, of
which our group constitut'd a great
part. Titus the decision to discon
tinue serving Negro and indigent
patients and remodel the plant into
a first class private hospital for
whites only un-ess other plans
inateralize.
This brings us to the pom: ot
wondering WHY WE COULD NOT
HAVE -BUILT A NEGRO HOSPI
TAL HERE during tire pad thirty
years.; WHY WE WON'T ORGAN
IZE AND BUILD ONE NOW?
This corner has only praises for
the L \Y. Kornegay family for hav
ing taken this great loss on those
unable to pay. We are very critical,
however, of our -grove strategists",
lor not planning and building a
hospital for our group. When they;
tell you, “It can’t be done,” tell,
them to look at Wilson with \ -ir
hospital of many years standing;
inspect the Qt tigless Clinic in Tar-'
boro, built by a group organized.
by Dr. M. E. Quigless, a young
medic just out of school in the “de-j
press-ion" year- with empty pockets;
and ideas w ;en have cryslslized'
into a, creditable two .-lory hospital
on the banks of the Tar
Then you may journey 200 miles
we t to my native Iredell County,
seat of Statesville where a CO-.
OPERATING group of Negro eiti- ’
zens led by T. V. Man gum, Little
john and others have raised over
$150,000 and now in the process of
building a hospital for Negroes
there. We do not pose as an author
ity on hospital, but feel well in-;
formed on how, we as a group, j
squander a lot of money on many j

We are tolc that under the Ho-,

and the state and‘national govern
