Closed Wednesday SUNDAYS, BY APPOINTMENT IN ADVANCE Seek Better Medical Care For Rural N.C. A movement, which seeks to provide for the people of North' Carolina more doctors, especial ly in the smaller communities and rural areas, and better med ical care, was under way throughout the state this week. A program to achieve this goal was launched at a meet ing at more than 200 leaders of various professional, business, industrial and lay groups from all sections of the state in Thomasville last Thursday, when the North Carolina Good Health association was formed. The meeting was called by I. O. Greer; superintendent of the Baptist orphanage at Thomas ville. - Citing numerous facts to show that North Carolina ranks low among the other states in hospital and medical care, the association, in preliminary plans, took steps to carry to every nook and corner of the state a movement "to support the ef forts of the governor, the North Carolina Medical Care commis sion, the medical allied profes sions, and other groups and in dividuals working for the good health program." The legislature of 1946, under the leadership of Governor Cherry, it was pointed out, established machinery for the inauguration of the program. Named to spearhead the ap Deal wprp four rpcrinrial rhair men: D. Hiden Ramsey, for the west; Irving Carlyle, for the piedmont; James S. Ficklen. for the northeast, and Judge Henry. L. Stevens, for the southeast. . Mr. Ramsey, general manager of the Asheville Citizen-Times, pointed out that the Governor's commission of 50 representative North Carolinians had "strong ly recommended a state-wide and well-balanced program for the improvement of the health of all our people." He said that almost all of the county medical societies, the Association of Public Health of ficers, the State Nurses' asso ciation. the North Carolina Pharmaceutical association, the North Carolina Hospital associa tion, and many other represen tative organizations pf North Carolinians, farm groups, wom en's groups, labor groups, and business, educational, profes sional, and religious leaders had endorsed this program. President Frank P. Graham of the University of North Caro lina, declared that "North Caro lina, long the Southern leader in good schools and good roads, today faces' a challenging op portunity for carrying forward promptly Its wisely planned gfo gram for good health." f The people of Durham and Durham County conducted the first unified Community Hous ing Institute of its klgd in, the State.
