Utter To The Editor. tO THE EDITOR: I am not a writer and in the beginning I wish to remind you this is my first time to try any thing like this. However, I am a resident of Sampson County and was born and reared there and even though we are said to have rings around our ankles and I go Barefooted. I am, nevertheless proud to be a Samsonian. During all the controversy over tht location of the new hospital in Dunn, I have been at a loss to know why the good people of Sampson and Johnston Counties have been brought into it, and why some of the “BIG SHOTS” of Dunn have come out openly and said it should not be located near the Sampson or Johnston County lines. Frankly I don’t feel that all the “Foul Air” in Dunn blows in from our direction. It is a bad situation when Medi cal Care is about to be refused anyone because of where they live. We may not belong to the “Elite Class’ who live on the west side of the tracks, but let me remind you that the blood that flows through our veins is just as good as the blood that flows through yours No. we may not belong to “TVmn’ca Four Hundred”, blit we buy and sell In Dunn and I have a strong feeling that If it were not tor the good people in Sampson and Johnston Counties that sup port your “Fair City” that Dunn might well become a Ghost Town, in view of this, I cannot under stand why two of your leadly# merchants should want to deny us the use of their hospital when their hand is always out to get our money. It is true that Sampson County has its "Easy Street’ and John ston County has a “Broudslab” but let me remind you that Dunn has a Pope’s Bottom and Bearsville al most got inside. Yes. I’m proud to be from Samp son even though you may not want us near your hospital. Respectfully, A Sampson Co. Club Woman TO THE EDITOR: I would like to say that I have heard alot of mud-slinging about the hospital site and I would like to say that Fm tired of it. Betsy Johnson is fine. Why not close Orange Avenue back of the hospi tal and build onto it? One year ago last March, I died up there (for an hour), but thanks to Dr. Gale Johnson, Dr. Peggy Duncan, Dr Stacey Duncan, and Dr. Marvin Poole, and the entire staff, from the kitchen to the front door I am alive. They were all so very considerate of me. While there, the knowledst and skill of these people and God’s bountiful low gave me Hfe. Yes, I am very much alive, and it all took place in Betsy Johnson. To me, Batsy Johnson 4f fine, and if some of the people that are bickering ever get as sick as I was, they too, will love it right where it now stands. Finally, I would like to say that I know when it was built and who built it and it can’t be so delapl dated for I am 67 years old and I’m not delapidated. Mrs. R. I.

Soys Hundreds Missing Elsewhere Governor Says Miss. Won t Take Abuse PHILADELPHIA, Miss. (UPI> _ Gov.

I Johnson accused Northern stat es of practicing “de facto segre gation’* and charged a lack of harmony exists between the races in the North.
