Pilot Grant Of $46,075
Approved For Agency
The Kate B. Reynolds
"Health Care Trust, a
major North Carolina
foundation, has approved
a $46,075 grant to support
the development of a
comprehensive longrange
plan, facilities
evaluation, and improved
management systems for
the Warren County
Health Department, it
was jointly announced
yesterday by Joseph S.
Lennon, health department
director, and Ben
W. Latimer, president of
the not-for-profit corporation
which will perform
the project.
Work will begin June 1
and be completed over
the next 16 months by the
staff of Carolinas Hospital
& Health Services, Inc.
(CHHS), which has been
performing similar services
for community
hospitals and related
agencies since 1969.
It's hoped that the
planning and evaluation
methods and systems
developed for the Warren
County project can be
used by other county
health departments in the
future, says Larry linger,
CHHS development director
who worked with
Lennon to develop the
grant proposal. The
amount of research and
development devoted
heretofore to health department
planning and
management has been
limited, he added.
"By necessity," Lennon
said, "health departments
have had to devote
the bulk of their funds
and attention to basic
health care services and
disease prevention.
There's little money for
planning and organizational
improvements.
However, when funds are
limited for all programs,
one of the most direct
ways to expand services
is to increase the 'productivity'
of each dollar
spent - maximizing its
impact with good planning
and management.
The grant will help us do
that."
The Kate B. Reynolds
Health Care Trust, located
in Winston-Salem, was
created in 1946 through
provisions in the will of
Mrs. William N. Reynolds

HUD Hopes To Begin
Sale Of Soul City
The Department of
Housing and Urban
Development plans to
begin selling property at
Soul City on June 27,
provided the Clerk of the
Warren County Superior
Court approves the sale
at a hearing to be held on
Wednesday, June 4, in the
office of the Clerk.
Floyd B. McKissick,
president and founder of
the new town, was served
a notice of the hearing by
Deputy Sheriff T. R.
Williams on May 12.
The sale would be held
in front of the Warren
County Court House at 12
noon on June 27, and
would include real estate
and personal property.
Excepted from the real
estate are property
already deeded by Soul
City, including 500 acres
sold to Perdue Farm, real
estate sold to HealthCo,
Recreation Center, and a
number of lots sold by
Soul City upon which
homes have been erected.
Some 2500 acres of
undeveloped property
would be sold.
McKissick said
following the serving of
the notice of hearing, the
foreclosure would send
the project "down the
drain."
McKissick's attorneys
already have filed suit to
keep HUD from
withdrawing its support
of the project.
