Between 200 and 250 persons at tended the sale, which was consider ed the most successful ever held, ac cording to Jas. L. Robinson, county agent. The success of the sale was in large measure due to the interest taken in it by the First National Bank of Waynesville and the Champion Bank and Trust Company, of Canton, which institutions made it possible for any farmer in the county, who desired to do so, to acquire a purebred bull by means of assisting in the financ ing where necessary. Several farmers tool: advantage of this co-operation by the two banks. Officers of the Waynesville and Can- t n banking instutions are behind the Western North Carolina 5-10 year or. ganized farm program and are assist ing the farmers of Haywood county wherever possible. Of the 18 bulls sold, 17 were pro ducts of Haywood County, the other, a one-year-old from th farm of Dave Thompson, Jackson county. The price range of the bulls sold was from $30 to $bo, which is -consider. include Shorthorns and Herofords. All of the 18 bulls were purchased by Haywood county farmers, as fol lows: W. H.

The same law also states that the Board of Trustees must see that a reason able charge is made for hospital ser vices, and only in case of pauper's are the services to be free, and in -such cases the welfare .officers must "first pass upon their worthiness. The citizens of Haywood county some few years ago voted a $100,000 bond issue for the puroo.-e of building and equipping a hospital in order that the citizens might have the opportU' nity of hospitalization at moderate rates without having to leave the county. The real estate, building and equipment cost more than $120,000. therefore the hospital could not have been built and equipped with the lKind issue alone, but was made possible by additional help from Other sources. During the year 1931 there was paid, into the hospital fund from both cur rent and back taxes combined $7,860. 96, from Which was paid bond maturi ties and interest $7,715.51, leaving n balance of only $151.46. How far would the $151.46 go toward giving hospital service to the citizens of this county?
