ENTERED AS SECOND CLASS MATTER AUGUST 20, 1928, AT THE POSTOFFICE
_AT TRYON, N. C. UNDER THE ACT OF CONGRESS, MARCH 3, 1879
Weather Tuesday: High 84* low
69, Rel. Hum. 80 ... A lot of
praise is being heard for the way
the Town Street Department is
trying to keep the streets cleaner.
Clean streets make us all feel bet
ter. More cooperation is needed
from the public. Grown men throw
cigars wrappers and cigarette
packages on the sidewalk instead
of putting them in the container
or even their pocket. It wouldn’t
hurt to hold something like that
until one moved closer to a con
tainer. One place neglected by the
town forces is the curb above the
depot park and in front of the post
office section. Somebody sweeps the
^msh near Missildine’s into the
mrarh part near the iron steps and
Yi^looks bad for days ....
Rev. J. M. Barber, pastor of the'

brother, Rev. E. L. Barber of the
Presbyterian Church at Montreal,
Ga., christened his grandnephew,
Robert Edward Barber III, son

the Tryon Presbyterian Church.

TAXES AND HOSPITALS
Manuel Holthouser spoke to the
Kiwanis Club Tuesday at Oak Hall
hotel and told of the many prob
lems in running a hospital and
of the expenses that a hospital
has besides room and board. Ac
cording to the speaker the aver
age cost per patient last year at
St. Luke’s Hospital yras a little
over $14 a day.
Mr. Holhouser told of the va
rious ways the hospital receives
tax money that many people don’t
know about through the county
and state, but that even with this
aid, the hospital still has to appeal
for private funds. Under the Hill
Burton Act, hospitals may be built
or added to by the local com
munity putting up 1-3 of the total,
the state 1-3 and the Federal Gov
ernment 1-3. Mr. Holthouser ex
plained that this was an excellent
opportunity for towns to improve
their hospital facilities and as far
as he could see there were no
strings attached to the money and
the authority for running the hos
pital still remained with the local
trustees.
The speaker was of the opinion
that the present administration is
'trying to socialize medicine and
that it is a serious threat to the
hospitals and to the medical pro
fession.
