It has been a verv
beautiful two weeks aud
we have gotten tome much
needed rain, which in turn
makes our grass grow so
kd Brown has been very
happy with having grass to
mow every day. Our
flowers and roae bushes
are all in bloom and the
residents eqjoy them very
Everyone has enjoyed
being able to be
outside to enjoy the
sunshine.
So many of our people
stay cold all the time,
• which goes along with
aging, that the sunshine
has been a blessing for
.them.
} I have missed writing
*the article for the last two
| week, have just been very
' busy and didn't have time
to get it done. So many
people have asked why
they didn't see it in the
paper that we will make a
concerted effort to get one
done each week.
We appreciate so many
people telling us how much
they appreciate our article,
and how much they
enjoy reading it. We very
much enjoy writing it and
try to get it done on Sunday
morning when we aren't so
busy.
We have a lot going on
here on Sundays, with Mr
and Mrs. Clyde Smith holding
church services and
Mr. James Edmonds
teaching Sunday school.
Then on Sunday afternoon
the Church of God from
Henderson comes and
holds a song service at 2 p.
m. So you can see that our
day is filled up. Sunday is
also the day that we have
the most company so the
building is full of people
and very busy on Sunday.
We have several people
having birthdays this
month who I am sure
would appreciate a card
from any of you. Mrs.
Gladys Dickens, 6th,
James Fuller, 24th, Derah
McGill, 4th, Addie Rowe,
19th, Anna Richardson,
15th, Marvin Rook, 6th,
Pinkie Shearin, 30th,

1 The Senior Citizens Band
from Norlina came over
this past week and presented
a musical program for
our people. The residents
always look forward to this
group coming and enjoy
them very much. Thanks a
lot folks and come again
soon.
Mrs. Almond and Mr.
Shearin, who have been
teaching our activity das*
es, will be moving to the
Lions Den in Warreaton to
hold their claaaes the 15th
of this month. These two
people have meant so very
much to our people here
that we really hate to see
them go.
The move is being made
due to some cut backs in
Mental Health services.
Our people will be going
over there to still participate
in the classes but we
will miss seeing them each
week. The residents along
with the staff have learned
to love them but we know
they will continue to still do
the fine job there that they
were doing here.
Residents having visitors
this week were:
Claude Munn, Annie Johnston,
Sarah Mayle Joyce
Matthews, Sallie Davis,
Pattie Arlington, Nancy
Carter, Mollie Riggan,
Nettie Wilson, Mollie
Young, Willie Stallings,
Ivy Hale, Ervin Thompson,
Francis Green, and
Jessie and Ruth McCurry.

Public Hearing Set
On Nursing Homes
A public meeting win be
held in the auditorium of
the John Graham High
School in Warrenton on
Tuesday, June 23, at 7.30 p.
m.
Purpose of the meeting
is to give Warren County
residents an opportunity to
meet and hear three
applicants discuss their
proposals to the N. C.
Division of Facility Services
(DFS) to construct a
nursing home in Warren
County.
The meeting will be
conducted by the Capital
Health Systems Agency
(CHSA) located in Durham.
CHS A is the health
planning agency for Warren
and ten other counties
and is the agency which
must review all applications
at the local level and
make recommendations to
the state regarding approval
of the most appropriate
application.
Warren County is the
only county in the elevencounty
planning area that
does not have a nursing
home. Interested citizens
in Warren County, with
assistance from the CHSA,
petitioned the N. C.
Division of Facility Services
to allocate 100 additional
nursing home beds
to the North Carolina State
Medical Facilities Plan
(SMFP) for Warren County.
With Governor Hunt's
approval, the beds were
allocated. The State, however,
in adding the 100
additional beds to the
SMFP, allocated the beds
to Health Service Area IV
(the eleven-county planning
area).
Henry Pleasant, long
term care coordinator for
CHSA, explained that this
means that any an** all
applications to add 100 new
beds in the eleven-county
area must be reviewed
competitively. In this case
four applications will be
considered and reviewed
competitively. One applicant,
Pleasant said, is
seeking approval to construct
a new 100-bed
nursing home in Wake
County and three applicants
are seeking approval
to construct a new 100-bed
nursing home in Warren
County.
Pleasant said CHSA will
have the responsibility to
review each of these four
applications in accordance
with approved review
procedures and criteria
(based on consistency,
need, cost containment,
personnel availability, financial
feasibility, accountability
and coordination)
to determine which
proposal should be recommended
to DFS for
approval. CHSA, he said,
may approve one application
and disapprove the
other three, or may
approve more than one
application and rank order
them according to the
degree to which they meet
the review criteria.
A similar public meeting
will be held in Wake
County, -Pleasant said.
Warren and Wake County
citizens are encouraged to
attend one or both of these
meetings to hear the
applicants present their
proposals. The four applicants
expected to make
presentations are:
1. Pine Haven Convalescent
Center of Warrenton,
Inc., Louise B. Parham
and Associates, Henderson.
2. Raleigh Community
Nursing Center, Inc., Paul
Karseras-Clyde Parker,
T-A Raleigh Medical Investors,
Virginia Beach,
Va.-High Point.
3. Warren Nursing Center,
N. L. Williams,
Norlina.
4. Warrenton Nursing
Center, Inc., Haan, Inc.,
Construction; James A.
Hayes, Winston-Salem,
Triad Medical Services,
Lessee-Operator, Nolan
Brown, Yadkinville.
The Wake County public
meeting will be held in the
Jaycee Module at the
Convention Center on
Oberlin Road near the
Wade Avenue intersection
on Thursday, June 25, at
7:30 p. m.

The High Cost Ot Driving
(Continuedfrom page 2)
the car remains parked in the garage.
The fixed and variable costs added
together provide the total annual cost of
owning and operating the vehicle. A
motorist driving 15,000 miles per year
would pay $1,226 in variable costs and
$2,375 in fixed costs, according to the
association.
The pamphlet on driving costs also
includes a suggested auto vacation
budget. Two persons should plan on
spending $44 a day for meals, to
including cocktails or tips; $44 a day for
lodging; and $7.50 for gasoline and oil,
etc., for every 100 miles of travel with the
car averaging 20 miles per gallon.
But those vacation budget figures can
vary considerably, it was pointed out In
small towns or rural locations, lodging
and meal costs might be 25 percent
lower, while in large metropolitan areas
they could be as much as 75 percent
higher.
With summer vacations for most
people and the peak travel season now at
hand, the figures provide a handy reference
point for starting plans. Certainly it
is plain to see that whatever one plans to
do and wherever one may go, it will be
necessary to be well-heeled with cash or
credit cards if travel is involved.
