The average grant per Illegitimate child Is $15.00 a month. One tenth of this amount comes from county funds which is an avesage of $1.50 per child . which Duplin County pays.

A letter received reads as follows: Mr. I. O. Wilkerson, Jr. Administrator Duplin General Hospital Kenansville, N. C. Dear Mr. Wilkerson: The Board of Commissioners of the Joint Commission on Accredi tation of Hospitals has approved the recommendation that Duplin General Hospital be accredited. This is the result of the evaluation of the hospital survey conducted on June 19, 1957 by Carl M. Dumbauld, M. D., a field representative of the Commission. The Commission wishes to com mend you for maintaining standards deserving the accreditation and for your constant effort to improve the quality of patient care. Please be assured of our interest and of our willingness to be of all possible help to you. Sincerely yours, Kenneth B. Babeock, M. D.; Director , The Joint Commission on Accre ditation of Hospitals is composed of representatives from Tha American College of Physicians, American Coueseof StJfteons. American Hos- pitsrAssoctation Association and the tonadWMed-f leal Association. The Standards es tablished by this group are con sidered necessary to insure the qual ity of medical care in hospitals which they can faithfully recom mend to the public. They are rigid in spirit and require general con formity to achieve accreditation. Of approximately 6,000 General Hospitals In the United States, only approximately 2,000 have received this rating. It is rare that a 50-bed hospital meets these established standards, and still more unusual that they are met in the length of time that Duplin General has been open.

Only 75 per cent of the difference in these two figures is used to decide the amount of each grant. The resource from monthly earnings is determin ed by the total of their yearly earn ings which is mostly seasonal farm work. This amount is divided by 13 to find tha monthly average oyer a year's period. In order to com plete a budget a visit must be nude to the home and. an Investigation made.

MM Duplin Among Counties, Listed For Court Research By Bar Study Group Charlotte, July 11 The North Carolina Bar Association's Court Study committee will begin its research into the criminal courts of the state in August. Field workers will gather infor mation in 32 counties. These have been selected on a basis of geo graphical location, population, eco nomic charteristics, inferior crim inal court structure and solicitorial districts, so that the data obtained will provide an accurate picture of conditions in North Carolina's cri minal courts. Jones andl Daplln Counties included in the project are Beaufort, Dare, Edgecombe, Hertford, Warren, Johnston, Car teret, Jones, Duplin, Wake, New Hanover, Columbus, Cumberland, Granville, Forsyth, Ashe, Gull ford, Davidson, Stanly, Richmond, Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Burke, Avery, Wilkes, Davie, Polk. Buncombe, Haywood, Cherokee, and Rockingham. Plans for the study were com pleted by the committee after con sideration of pilot studies made in Chatham, Durham, and Orange counties by members of the staff nutate obverament etkfj b leering compiling the information. This will be the second phase of the complete study of North Carolina's judicial system which is being made by the committee. First Fhaae News End State Senator J. Spencer Bell of- Charlotte, chairman of the com mittee, estimates that field work ers will have their tasks com pleted in time for the information to be presented to the committee in October. The civil court study, the first phase of the program, has been under way for several weeks and will be completed in September, The fipld work will be done by young lawyers, specially trained by members of the Institute's staff un der the direction of Albert Coates head of the agency, and Roy G. Hall Jr., assistant director, who is as signed to the criminal court study project, Court dockets will be stud ied, courts will be observed in ac tion, and Interviews will be eon ducted to obtain the facts sought by the committee. In addition to this study of civil and criminal courts, the commit tee is gathering data on domestic re lations and juvenile courts. When all the information has been com piled, the reports will be studied and some who are mentally eligi ble for sterilization refuse to have this done because of various reasons including fear of their health - ac tually sexual health. Of the moth ers receiving aid tor illegitimate cildren, six of them have been ster ilized In the past two or three years. Duplin County does not pay white and negro mothers to have another illegitimate child but the grant does increase ' because the need is more for an additional child who re quires food and clothing just as a child with two legal parents. The State Welfare Department governs the laws of Welfare Funds and sterilization and we in Duplin County can only ' abide by these rules and regulations.

So far as income Is concerned, the actual results cannot be given a closely estimated figure now be cause it is not known what will happen to the tobacco once it is oat the warehouse floor for sale. Some of the speculators say that since there will be about a 33 per cent cut (estimate) in tobacco over last year (in poundage) there will be sufficient bidding of tobacco buy ers to bring the price up above the 50 per cent guaranteed support for those who will sell on a bhe card because of the mix-up in seed, involving a discounted tobacco va riety. Others say "well just have to wait and see.' 'We cannot count on that which we do not have.' Adverse weather conditions and a 20 per cent cut in acreage will all have their effects on the poundage and price in 1957. The mix-up in tobacco seed Asa caused more concern in areas which, have been hit, than have the wea tit er and 20 per cent acreages. decrease under 1956, For the past week, this reporter has talked with many farmers wha have planted unintentionally, aha mixed variety of tobacco seed. Tew important factors are brought out. One is that those farmers wfce . are effected are displeased with the ASC program now more than ever before because they wiB Have to pay the penalty for somebody else or some other businesss wis- . take. .. ' -"" Under the dUcouattero, a ' mer who has even a small perceaV tage of a discount variety sobaee on his farm must sell all of it on a blue card, which automatically means 139, 140 and 244. The mix-up according to fainter throughout Lenoir, Wayne, Duplin and Greene counties has occurred to Bissette's 711. Some of the Bisset te's 711 is pure, but it appears that a large percentage is mixed with 244. All farmers who are involved in this mix-up agree that they do not feel like it is right for them to have to pay for somebody else's mis take. 'I dont know what can be done, says Willard Westbrook in Duptte County. 'I know I planted 244 last year and the tobacco inspector says I have it again this year. I planted it far Bissette's 711. One thing is sure, If I were going to plant a discount variety it would not be 244. I planted it last year and my average was very low.' He further added that several oth er farmers in the B. F. Grady 'com munity are also upset and dissatis fied with the ASC program, la regards to the mixed tobacco seed, -we are already making plans to en ter a law suit against Bissette. R. D. Foss of near LaGrange in the Jenny Lind community said that he had '50 per cent of ' something which hasn't been determined yet Half of everything I have is some thing else and I planted it for Bis sette's 711.' Dick Price, in Greene County, who is farm supervisor for several estates under bank management, says that we have something like 30 acres which is supposed to bo Bissette's 711, but the inspectors We- lieve it is 244. That's a discount variety. Since we are working and using other people's money, we can net afford to gamble with a variety. .: We planted Bissette's 711 last year and It was good. This year w have a mess and it's not right for my tenants and the bank to have to pa for this mix-up.' If the farmers of this area had to vote en the continuance of the ASC now, the outcome is doubtful. However, in all instances where (Continued On Back Page) , ey, Hubert Chaaey, Alice Brown.
