LOCAL EDITORIAL COMMENT
Happens To The Best Of Them
The error in a motion passed by the
Louisburg Town Council last week is
understandable if inexcusable. The
Council passed a resolution dealing
with zoning outside of town. It meant
to pass one dealing with annexation of
areas outside the town limits. There
is quite a difference.
However, all members understood
what it was they were voting for since
annexation was the topic at hand. The
error was relatively a simple one, but
allowed to take its course, could have
ended giving the Council powers it did
not seek and withholding those it
sought.
Although not amusing to the Council,
perhaps, it does show that mistakes are
made . . . even by the best of them.
Somehow, the knowledge of this makes
the rest of us feel better.
Once this matter is cleared and
assuming Representatives Speed and
Church will concur in the request and
it will be granted by the General As
sembly, the Council should make per
fectly clear just what it has in mind
when it talks of annexation.
If Louisburg (or any other Franklin
County town) is to grow, annexation is
going to have to take place. There
will, of course, be some opposition,
but the Council might be surprised to
find a great deal of support, provided,
of course, it is handled properly.
Areas outside of town, once annexed
will expect and rightfully so, the same
services enjoyed by present residents.
Sensible folks will not expect full ser
vices immediately, but firm committ
ments on the part of the town will per- 1
haps, be expected."
However, in the absence of any de
finite statements on the part of town
officials, annexation migit be some
time off and the motion, which was in
tended last week, mi?it be only a first
step.
At any rate, it shows that the Coun
cil is thinking ahead and this, in itself,
i? a good thing.
NATIONAL EDITORIAL COMMENT
Americans In Russia
Whether we like to admit it or not,
Americans are not the best behaved
people in the world abroad. One of
our failings, as a people, is the
conviction that our way of life is
I the best in every aspect and that we
can do things our way when we
r travel abroad.
t Keeping this in mind we should
not become overly aroused when
we read about Americans being
? arrested in Russia or in other coun
tries for black market dealings in
foreign currencies. The laws of the
nations which Americans visit should
be observed and tourists who break
the laws are subject to the penalty
Healthier States
Based on life expectancy, the
healthiest states in the union are
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota
and North Dakota. Thus the Midwest
is the place to live if you want to
live longest. That's the gist of life
insurance statistics recently an
alyzed.
The unhealthiest state (including
the District of Columbia) is South
Carolina. The average lifespan of a
caucasian male in South Carolina is
only 65.97, while the national
average is 67.55 and the average
in the healthiest states several years
more. (Females live seven .or eight'
years longer than males in practically
all areas of the country.) Among
under the laws.
Of course, the penalty is often
stiff by U.S. standards. But thiB
should be taken into consideration
by tourists before they enter Com
munist countries. When one fails to
do this, and breaks the law in
Communist-ruled countries, he can
not then expect Western justice or
trial and punishment by Western
standards.
When Americans abroad break
currency laws and steal from hotels,
and get caught, they are asking for
the harsh penalties likely to be
received.
non-whites the average is even lower.
Qeopaphical location is not the
only factor in longivity, however.
The experts say ah other influence
is heredity. Climate and rainfall and
soil (which relate to geography) are
all thought to have an effect. Con
trary to what some might think, the
ratio of doctors to the number at
citizens has relatively little influence
an life expectancy.
And the warm weather-which so
many elderly people seek in later
life-doesn't produce an average
longivity as great as that in the upper
Midwest, where the winters are cold
and the weather severe, which may
surprise a number of readers.
The Winter Sky
( For those who are interested in
watching the sky, and the signs and
marvels it reveals, the winter
sky is fascinating.
At night, one can see the Big
Dipper dragging its handle near the
northern border of the horizon. In
December the Dipper began to rise
again.
If you will look at the sky on a
clear night, you will easily findthe
Big Dipper on the northern horizon.
Start at the top of the cup and follow
a line of stars down towards the
horizon, and then curving back up
into the sly. and then jutting down
again toward the horizon w$h a
four-star box, or dragon head at the
end. Hiis is Draco the Dragon.
It is a longer constellation than
the Big Dipper and covers a larger
area of the sky.

of 5,256,945 days of care,
17.3 per cent of them free in
comparison with 18.5 per cent
In 1965, a slight decrease
which Mr. Felts attributed to
Medicare, which was In opera
tion the last quarter of the fis
cal year. These hospitals had
17,655 beds In use and an
average of 13,433 patients per
day. . In 1965, the average
number of patients per day
was 13,393.
Assisted North Carolina
hospitals had a total of
3,495,216 days of care, 16.2
per cent of them free In com
parison with 17 per cent in
1965. Beds In use were 11,666,
and the hospitals averaged
8,906 patients per day, which
compares with 8,786 In 1965.
The present renovations and
additions to the local hospital
are on schedule and the tar
get date for completion Is May
17, 1967. The original pro*
Ject, slated to cost $900,000,
Is financed with a $325,000'
bond issue approved by the
people and $495,000 of Hill
Burton federal funds and other
funds from N. C. Medical Care
Commission. The Duke En
dowment gift will allow total
completion of the original pro
ject, which will move the fa
culties.
After four years of planning,
the local hospital was com
pleted In the fall of 1950 and
dedicated on February 11, 1951.
A special local hospital elec
tion raised $150,000 and the
county financed 18 percent of
the $750,000, with funds from
Hill-Burton and the Medical
Care Commission.
