Ik a Letter to the Commissioners En- Was an I'pright (’hrlstlan Gentlemen dorslng the Morement For County Hospital In Uen of County Home. Bethel North Carolina. July 25th. 1914. To The Hon. Board of Co., Couiniis- sioners, Greenville, I’itt Co., N. C. Geiitleuieii: — Please allow me to express to your board my hearty support and endorse- j meut of the movement which has been , inaugurated to establish a County | Hospital in lieu of a County Home. | J am a young man, and have only resided in this County for three yt-ar^i,; but in tliat short lime the people an.l the traditions oE Pitt have beeonie very dear to me. 1 have looked witli. pride and pleasure on the rapid stride j yhe has made, even in so short a time. 'I'he increased opportunity of educa tional advancement, the magnificent; public buildings she has erected, thf . miles and miles of good roads she; has built, her rapid growili in popu lation and material prosperity. 'I'liese things have made me proud of my County anil tlie reliable conscientious i men who have directed us along these | lines of advancetuents. Have we not,! howi'V r, neglected the ijuestion of ouTj I'nldic Heallir.’ That issue which is of paramount importance to us all. ] Modern mithods of sanitation and preventive nu'dicine have put it with-, in our n acli to practically wipe oul i the contagious and infi-ciious dis- | <’ases that yearly cost us the ('ountvl thou.-iaiids of dollars in money and' untold values in liuman life. ^Vi^h a County Hospital and a Whole Time Health Otlicer these things are • ii-j lirely within our reach. Malaria 'I'v- phoid Fever can be absolutely pre vented. Dther infectious and contagi ous diseases can be reduced to a mini mum. School cliildren can be examin- <‘d and minor di'feets corrected sr (hat they may he able to grasp tlu' opportunity which birth t'nvironment entitle them to. Shall %ve. then, with thi.s splendid opportunity before us to bring th< liealth and happiness of o\ir Countv lip to the .standard of perfection, shall we, I asU, neglect this great oppor tunity, in order to provide a palace for three or four indigents? Please do not think that I am desirious that the Cpunty shirk any of her respon- Bibilities. On the contrary, the Pau pers who DO NOT BELO.NG TO STATK I.XSTITI'TIONS would be so few in number that they could be eared for at The Hospital with the addition of very, very little expense. Poverty and Pauperism are a dis ease. Shall we encourage thriftless ness and treat the results of our care lessness in regard to the Public Health; or shall we raise the stand ards of onr physical well being Rt that %ve will be able, in a larg.'' mf-astire, to prevent vagabondism and vagrancy? Tliis is the iiuestion that is before you. I trust, (iemletneti, tliat you may not ronsider me too presumptions in thus expressing my views. I lielieve in American Cilizensliip and I know that you. Gentlemen, desire to do that which is to be for the "greatest good of the greatest number." and what ever your decision in this matter may be [ shall remain. Loyally, I'. O. CRIPFIN'.
