Medical Row
Is Simmering
BLOWING ROCK — Possible
settlement of a dispute between
the State Board of Medical Ex
aminers and the Board of Hospi
tals Control may be forthcoming
from a meeting this week.
The Medical Examiners ended
a meeting here Saturday with a
long discussion on its recent ac
tion in deciding not to renew the
licenses of foreign-educated doc
tor after next year.
However, no exact date for the
proposed meeting was announced
here.
Although no definite action was
taken, the medical examiners in
dicated they would be willing fa»
meet the hospitals board half-way
in an effort to solve the problem.
The banishment of foreign doc
tors from state hospitals would
place a heavy burden on the hos
pitals board of finding physicians
for' state institutions.
Both group* are scheduled to a
conference with Gov. Hodges in
Raleigh Friday. However, if the
two can settle their differences
prior to the meeting, it will be
cancelled.
The Army has announced that
future draft calls will be cut, and
a number of officers and enlisted
men released from service within
the next six months. This is in
line with an Administration deci
sion to reduce by 100,000 the cur
rent 2,800,000 authorized strength
of the armed forces. The Army's

Farmers Are
Living Better
Since the inception of the Ag
ricultural Conservation Program
more than 80 per cent of the farms
in Watauga county have furnished
better living for their owner* for
the conservation practice* they
carried out on these farms, ac
cording to ACP officials.
llany tons of valuable top soil
have been aaved by the establish
ment and maintenance of a vege
tative cover on steep hillsides and
sloping land. Land which had
ceased to give any returns in the
way of pastures and meadows have
been renovated and restored by
the application of the necessary
minerals.
Better homes, better churches,
better schools snd modern conven
iences are largely attributable to
the help these conservation prac
tices have rendered in the way of
increased yields and income.
Many farmers sre now signing
up for fsll practices. Each request
is being given due consideration
and special emphasis is being plac
ed on apprpvals for farms which
have not been in the program this
year. With the government shad
ing at least SO per cent of the cost,
no farmer can afford to lose the
opportunity to take advantage of
such an offer.
