ed each year. On the other hand,
if the present two-year medical
school at the University ceases to
function, as the two-year schools
throughout the country seem doom
ed to extinction in the next 10 to
15 years, the State will "lose its
largest single source of doctors.
Aid to Local Hospitals
Q. So much for the central hos
pital and medical school. Now what
about the need and provision for
more district and local hospitals?
A. The Governor's 50-man com
mission is also recommended for
the Legislature to set up a $5 mil
lion State Fund for this purpose.
This would be used in making
grants (not to exceed 50 per cent
in any case) to aid local communi
ties in building or expanding publicly-owned
or non-profit hospitals
and health centers when and where
needed. This fund will not be
used in one year, however, but
over a long-range period,
The $64 Question
Q. Can the State pay for this
$8 3-4 million investment and $1
million annual operating cost in
view of its present financial status?
A. The ways and means are up
to the General Assembly, of course,
but if the State has owed approxi
mately $200 million at one time,
then in the light of its present fine
financial condition, this program
seems well within reach to the
average layman. (Dr. Paul Whi
taker, President, State Medical So
ciety). State-Local Partners
Q. What agency will be in charge
of the general administration of
the State's hospital and medical
care program ?
A. The commission is recom
mending "a permanent State Hos
pital and Medical Care Council of
adequately qualified persons "with
strict safeguards from political
interference."
The proposed make-up of this
council would be 20 members nam
ed by the Governor five nominated
by the State Medical Society; two
from the State Hospital Associa
tion and one each from the State
associations of Dentists, Pharma
cists and Nurses; seven from the
public at large; and three ex-offi-cio
members, the Secretary of the
State Board of Health, the State
Commissioner of Public Welfare,
and the Director of Hospitals of
the Duke Endowment.
Q. Who would be in charge of
local hospitals receiving State aid?
A. The commission ia-pecommend.
ing that they "remain under the
professional, administrative- and
financial control""bf thWr ow!
representative trustees in ora(
retain community pride, initiative
and support.
Q. What would be the relation
of the State Board of Health?
A. The same relation which now
exists between this Board and hos
pitals. Effect on Patients
Q. How will this program affect
our existing doctors, hospitals and
medical schools?
A. It will utilize all of these ex
isting persons and facilities, pro
viding for expansions in services
only when and where needed.
Q. How will it affect the indi
vidual patient charity, part-pay,
or full-pay?
A. The family that can pay its
own way will do so. The family
that can partly pay its way will
pay this part (aided by insurance,
government, and philanthropic aid).
And the family that honestly can
pay nothing will be helped to an

Jesus Begins His Ministry
HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
(The International Uniform
Ltison on the above toplo for Jan.
1 Is Matthew 3-4, the Memory
Vrse being Matt. 4:19, "He said
unto them, Come ye after Me.")
MATTHEW, IN his gospel,
omlta the period between the re
turn from Egypt of Joseph, Mary
and the Child Jesus, and the pre
paratory ministry of John the
B&ptist, the forerunner of Christ.
"In those days." he writes,
"came John the Baptist, preach
ing In the wilderness of Judea,
And saying. Repent ye: for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand."
"This Is He that was spoken of
by the prophet, saying, The voice
of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make His paths straight."
John Is described as wearing
clothes of camel's hair, with a
leather girdle about his loins, eat
ing locusts and wild honey which
are still foods In that part of the
world.
His preaching was listened to
with awe, even Pharisees and
Sadducees coming to him to be
baptized. These latter he re
proached, telling them they could
take no" comfort in the fact that
they were Jews God's chosen
people. They were sinners and
must repent and be baptized; but
the baptism with which he bap
tized them was water, he said, but
the One who was to come was
mightier than he, "Whose shoes I
am not worthy to unloose. He shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost
and with fire.'
Jesus Comes to John
Jesus came to John to be bap
tized, and at first John would not
baptize Him because he felt un
worthy. Rather should Jesus bap
tize him, John. But Jesus said,
"Suffer It to be so now: for thus
it becometh us to fulfill all right
eousness.'' So John baptized Him.
As He came from the water the
"heavens were opened unto Him,
and He saw tl Spirit of God de
scending like a dove, and lighting
upon Him.
"And lo a voice from heaven,
saying, This Is My beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased."
Jesus had no sins of which to
repent, but in this act He identi
fied himself with the people to
whom he was to preach and over
whom He will reign. This Is the
start of His ministry, and God
blesses It with His benediction. No
other man ever heard those words
from above uttered, and John
must have felt that here was the
confirmation of his own prophecy,
and been awed.
Jesus, after His baptism, re
tired to the wilderness to meditate
and pray. Here He was tempted of
Satan. First, after fasting 40
dajs, being hungry, Satan sug
gested that He turn the stones
into bread; Jesus declined, say
ing. "Man shall not live by bread
alone."
Satan then took Him to a high
pinnacle of the temple, telling
Him to cast Himself down, as God
would not permit Him to be in
jured, but Jesus reproved Satan,
saying. "Thou shalt not tempt the
Lord thy God."
The last temptation was the of
fer of all the kingdoms of the
world If Jesus would bow down
and worship him. Imagine! Jesus
scorned him and told him, "Get
thee hence," and Satan went away
defeated
John Is Imprisoned
Leavin6 the wilderness, Jesus
heard that John the Baptist had
been cast into prison, so Jesus de
parted into Galilee, leaving His
home In Nazareth, and living in
Capernaum, near which most of
his ministry was spent and His
works performed. He preached and
taught, and "the people which sat
In darkness sa'" great light."
Walking by :he Sea of Galilee,
Jesus saw two brothers, fishermen,
Simon Peter and Andrew, and he
said to them, "Follow Me, and I
will make .you fishers of men,"
and they left their nets and fol
lowed Him.
Going a little farther He saw
two other brothers, likewise fish
ermen, the sons of Zebedee, James
and John. He called them and
they, too, followed Him.
Thereafter Jesus went about
Galilee teaching in the syna
gogues and healing all manner of
sickness and disease.
"And His fame went throughout
all Syria." Great multitudes of
people followed Him "from Gali
lee, and from Decapolls, and from
Jerusalem, and from beyond the
Jordan." His great ministry was
begun.

Also the program will provide
more doctors and hospital facili
ties, including laboratory and diag
nostic aids, in easier access to all
groups, and hence at less expense.
And it will encourage more insur
ance for those who are able to pre
pay the costs of serious or long
drawn-out illnesses. In other words

Q. How will this program affect
the private physician?
A. The general practitioner will
in time have better hospital and
diagnostic facilities for his pat
ients if he now lives where these
are not wholly adequate.
The doctor will also be more cer
tain of his fees, due to the encour
agement of insurance prepayment
plans, and the indigent patients
under his treatment will be enabled
to secure needed hospital care.

WAYNESVILLE
The Sale hours of the Greeneville Market have been increased from two to three hours
daily This permits the sale of approximately an additional Million pounds sale over that
of the past week.
After sales of this week, it is the opinion of the Tobacco interests that Greeneville will
be able to give all comers a sale the day after arrival or the day following.
Remember that Greeneville being the receiving point sales will continue until the crop
is entirely sold.
It always pays to sell direct on an Established Market.
