Every Sunday Afternoon FROM 2:15 TO 2:30 OVER OTZ non-stock and non-profit corpora tion had been effected, the State became much interested in the provisions of the Hill-Burton Pub lic Health Aid Bill, and the Pungo District Hospital Corporation rest ed on its oars until they could look into the possibility of bringing State and Federal aid to Belhaven. When they found there was a possibility of obtaining Hill-Burton aid they made application, but with Beaufort County in "C" priority status it was decided to create a district which included the Bel haven recorder's court area inclu ding parts of Bath, Longacre, and all of Pantego Townships. In the summer of 1947, just a year ago the corporation was amended and named tne Punso District Hospi tal Corporation. In January th group made up a project for the construction of a 20-bed hospi El one story cinder block, brick ve neer, with wood floor and no bare ment. On March 27, 1948, the pro ject had moved along so rapitf'y that it was approved by the North Carolina Medical Care Commission 3 NEW BUILDING) ncj PRESENTS and the United ' States Public Health Service, and contract was awarded to construct the hospital, first ground was broken in Apr. 1 and on October 1 the building was contplete; a remarkable tribute to the vision and energy of Belhaven people the first hospital in the United States constructed under the Hill-Burton Bill, financed en tirely without levy upon the tax payers of the district, and by pri vate subscriptions. - This group raised a total of $33, 816 exclusive of the land and legal fees, the site being donated by the City of Belhaven and valued at $1, 500. The cost per bed of building this hospital was $6, 499. The total general contract for building the hnsnital was $61,419, and with i equipment and furniture the pro . ject falls short by only $20 of cost : ins $130,000. This hospital, while designed primarily for the peop'e of the Bungo Health District, wiU be open to people from the entire mainland of Hyde and Dare coun ties who need its services. Ed Note: Folks, we Duplinites can do as well or better than any other tar heel in the state. We all know how much we need a hospital in Duplin, but everyone seems to bo too busy living to think of dyi.ig or even going to a hospital. Here's i workable suggestion for i st.v-ii'r on Duplin's hospital: Let Uncle Sam Says Many ihoiinarfd of wise fathers, IiikIikimIh and sons know there is no more thoughtful Christmas gift than V. S.

If we stop for a moment and think, we'll soon see that we, too, can raise a lot of DO RA ME for our own hospital, and we have some mighty good people in Duplin that would be more than glad to con tribute extra also. What about it, HUH? Man Arrested For Two Law Violations On Same Night When officers Roscoe L. Dan iels, of Glisson Township, and Charlie Nisholson, of Kenansville, went to serve a warrant on Colon Grady, of Glisson Township, charg ing him with haviug in his possess ion materials for the manufacture of non-tax paid whiskey and 35 gallons of non-tax paid whiskey they found him in a card game with six other men at the store of George Waters.
