North Carolina, the 11th laigest
state and the 5th most rapidly
growing, stood in 42nd place, tied
with South Carolina, in the number
of general hospital beds per thous
and population'," it was pointed out.
"and in a comparable position in j
the number of doctors." !
Incorporators of the Good Health
Association will constitute the
board of directors. Dr. Greer said.

STURGEON BAY, WIS. A pretty
16-year-old girl, sole survivor of a
Lake Michigan yachting tragedy
that took the lives of four persons,
tearfully described how her father
heroically gave up his life pre
server during the storm and how
tie had struggled to reach shore
in six-hour swim, the Associated
frees reports.
"I Just had to fight. I didn't want
to drown," said Patricia (Patsy)
Smith, speaking from a bed In the
boor County Memorial hospital.
The distance she swam has been
estimated variously from 5 to 13
tnilesL
Patsy's father, Leathern D.
Smith, 89, Sturgeon Bay shipbuild
er and one-time Republican can
didate for the U. S. senate, was
One of the four who drowned. The
Others were Elton Washburn, 45
nd Howard Hunt, 29, department
beads at Smith's ship yards; and
Mary Loomls, 19, of Winnetka, 111.,
Patsy's schoolmate.
Patsy said that she was sleep
ing In the cabin of the 38-foot Half
Moon, her father's pleasure craft,
when the squall struck. She rushed
on deck and found that "breakers
were sweeping over the boat."
Gives Up Life Preserver.
AU except one of the life pre
servers were washed away and
Bmlth wrapped that around Miss
Loomls and told the girls that they
should try to make shore alone
since It would be Impossible for the
whole party to do so, Patsy said.
"Dad winked at me and said:
Tatty, take care of mother,' " she
recounted.
1 With her eyes filled with tears,
Patsy related that her father
plunged into the water and started
swimming. That was the last she
saw of him.
Hunt had dived in, attempting to
retrieve a life preserver and appar
ently became exhausted.
! "We saw him lift his hand out of
the water a short distance away,"
Patsy said. "He shouted: 'Good
luck, everybody.' " Then he was
gone.
After her father and Hunt were
gone, Patsy and Mary dived In.
"Mary kept talking a lot and
swallowed a lot of water. I told her
to keep quiet and save her breath.
I clung to the back of the preserv
ing to push Mary ahead of me."
, About midnight the wind was get
Bdg worse and Mary was talking so
much. I think she was getting hys
terical. It was right after that I saw
toe life preserver floating away
after I had let go of it for a few
moments. She must have slipped
out of it."
Knew She Was Alone.
Just before Miss Loomls disap
peared. Patsy said, she told Patsy:
"I can't keep going. You don't
know where you're going."
"When I knew I was alone, I was
terrified," the girl continued.
Patsy declared that she recov
ered the life preserver and pushed it
ahead of herself. She could remem
ber little about the next hour except
the "awful blackness."
' ("The first thing I knew, I struck
the rocks," she said, adding that
she didn't remember things very
clearly after the long hours in the
water. She saw something like a
feme walk and started crawling to
ward a cottage.
"I was shouting -help' and then
I must have passed out because I
was unconscious when the people
found me under a tree," she said.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hood found
ier and summoned a physician. She
was suffering from shock, ex
posure and bruises of the arms, legs
and back and was given blood
plasma.
"Dad was a great guy," she
said. "And he was so brave."

( In the devices studied, light from
an Incandescent lamp is focused on
si small mirror. Electric pulses cor
responding to voice frequencies are
amplified by tubes, causing the mir
ror to vibrate. With the vibration
the light beam reflecting to a dis
tant station Is changed in intensity.
A photo sensitive receiver changes
these varying light pulses In inten
sity and ftese changes result in the
production of audible sound in a
telephone. Filters are used to blot
out any visible light
Corn Storage
Cleanness of husking Is of the ut
most importance in storing corn of
high moisture content because the
husks and silks seriously reduce air
movement through the crib.
