1 Dan Taylor made a brief talk
prior to presenting the deed to
' the hospital to C. R. Wheatly, Beau
fort, who accepted on behalf of
? the hospital board of trustees. The
text of Mr. Taylor's address appears
on page 2 of the first section of
today's paper.
The Governor was presented by
Mr. Goerch. Guests on the speak
ers' platform rose and loud ap
plause greeted the state's chief ex
i ecutive as he approached the lee
turn.
The Governor stated that he
deemed it an honor and a privil
ege to attend the dedication ser
vice of "this fine hospital." He
> termed it "truly one of the greatest
occasions I have known in all my
days in North Carolina."
"Wrapped in this story are the
elements which make a great na
tion and a great state and the ele
ments of the human heart that de
velope mankind," Governor Um
stead declared.
! "In this republic any man who
has the courage and determination
can go out in the world and be
come what he wants to be ? an
engineer, a bishop a master farm
er or the head of a great business
enterprise. He is limited only
by his stamina and will ... in these
brothers you see qualities of mind
and heart, qualities transmitted to
them by their mother and father . . .
"I think the progress of North
Carolina is attributable to ele
ments involved in this picture I
have attempted to portray. What
has happened here today should
serve as an incentive to us to give
more of ourselves to develop the
commonwealth, our community and
our republic.
The Governor concluded by say
ing that "everyone owes a debt of
gratitude to eastern North Caro
lina," the cradle of a nation that
was to become the United States of
America.
The program closed with Mr.
Goerch leading the audience in
singing the doxology, Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow.

? Harold Cole*, executive vice
president of the Floridt State
Chamber of Commerce, comment
ed Saturday on the gift the Taylor
Foundation has given to Sea Lev
el.
His comments follow:
We caa be quite certain that al
most every man who leaves his na
tive birthplace at an early age
dreams of returning some day with
a gift for the old home town
We can be equally certain that
nearly all such dreamers fail, for
one reason or another, to satisfy
this early yearning for showing
their appreciation for the land
which nurtured them in the begip
ning.
It is ' refreshing, indeed, when
such a dream is realised. It is
more ? it is an inspiration.
Here today is evidence of fulfill
ment - - complete fulfillment - for
what could be more fitting than
the gift of a hospital?
Our good friend. Dan Taylor,
will be remembered for this gift
as long as life endures.
A gift of this character means
that Dan Taylor's heart and hand
? wherever the/body may be ?
will be right here in Sea Level
where he was born, ministering to
any who become sick or might be
injured.
I can think of no greater act of
beneficence.
Dan Taylor has risen to great
heights in Florida's social and eco
nomic life, but it is here that he
will ever be remembered? here on
this soil where he first saw the
light of day? here on this soil he
never forgot.
Audit
(Continued from Page 1)
revenue exceeded profits during
1952-53, Mr. Ausbon said. Rev
enue was about $222,000 and ex
penses were $217,000. The auditor
said he believed that hospital in
surance was a factor in making
this possible. Dr. John Morris, a
member of the hospital medical
staff and a member of the town
board, said he felt too that hospital
insurance made it easier for thel
hospital to meet its debts.
Mr. Ausbon stated that the hos
pital has $30,240 invested in gov
ernment bonds which have a matur
ity value of $42,000. Cost of the
elevator recently installed at the
hospital was $10,308. Mayor
George Dill commented that for
only $9,000 more the town bought
the entire east wing of the hos
pital from the government in the
1930's.
The board requested that the
clerk, John Lashley, find out
whether the hospital owns $2,000
worth of radium stored at New
Bern or whether the radium was
merely lent to the hospital.
Total expenses in the general
fund during the past fiscal year
were $182,705.21 and total rev
enue in the general fund was $154,
692.92. Revenue from the Caro
lina Racing Asaociation last year
(1952 racing season) was $38,000.
Meters Yield $7,(3$
Parking meter receipts for the
year ending June 30, 1953 were $7,
638.50.
The tax levey for 1952-53 was
$116,576.07 and of that amount
$110,625.75 of 94.9 per cent was
collected. Total uncollected taxes
for ?U prior years, including the
1992 levy are $53,263.01.
Recorder's court receipts were
$29,041.60 and paid out by the
court was $29,245.42. An oper
ating balance on hand tor the
court as of June 30, 1952 amounted
to $1,379.86. As of that date court
cotts uncollected were $2-382.25.
Mr. Ausbon explained that aince
that time some of those coats
have probably been collected and
others will not be collected be
cause defendants are serving time
in jail.
The auditor suggested that the
court clerk, John Lashley, remove
from the list the costs that cannot
be collected.
The town recreation commiaaion
received $6,466.86 during 1952-53
and paid out $6,242.66. Ninety
nine per cent of the recreation
commission's menu* il through
taxes. The commiasion received
a $100 donation during the fiscal
year and alto receives tome money
through operation of a snack bar
at the Recreation Center.
Mr. Ausbon said at the close of
the fiscal year the town still owed
$3,000 on the new fire truck.
The balance on hand June 30,
1953 was $94,503.86, half of which
wn the hoepital's funds for oper
ation.

Text of Address by Dan E. Taylor
Text of address by Dan E. Tay
lor at the dedication of the Sea
Level Community Hospital Satur
day, Nov. 21:
Mr. Chairman, My Parents, Hon
ored Guests, Ladies and Gentle
men:
I would Uke to thank Mr. Carl
Goerch not only for the fine way
in which he has conducted this
ceremony but also for the many
kind things he has said about us
and our endeavors in his Sunday
afternoon radio programs over
WPTF RALEIGH and also his men
tion of the hospital in his articles
in the "State Magazine."
On behalf of my family, the
people of Sea Level and Eastern
Carteret County, my brothers and
myself, I want to express our
sincere appreciation for the pres
ence here of Governor Umstead
and all the other distinguished
guests and friends who are with us
today.
About 40 years ago, when I lived
in this community, I did not, at
that time, visualize that I would
ever take part in building a hos
pital, but, in the ensuing year^,
fate and good fortune have been
kind to my brothers and myself
for which we are most thankful,
enabling us to build this hospital
tor the people of Eastern Carteret
County. I hope it will be the
means of providing the people of
these communities with the neces-<
sary medical care that they have
so long needed.
Many changes have taken place
in these past 40 years. All the
land in this vicinity and the ground
upon which this hospital stands was
a swamp with cow paths over which
we drove our cattle. At that time,
there were no roads connecting
these communities and all means
of communication and transporta
tion was by sailboat. To make a trip
to Beaufort, the County Seat, took
almost a whole day - now it can be
made in 30 minutes; to make a trip
to New Bern required about two
days? now we can make it easily in
one and a half hours.
A large number of the people had
never seen an automobile or a
train and the schools were very
modest, confined mostly to the low
er grades. Today these communities
have the finest schools in the state,
as well as all modern conveniences,
such as refrigerators, radios, tele
phones, electric lights, televisions,
automobiles, and the beat of roads
? alt indicating the progress made
during these last 40 years. This
hospital, we believe, will be the
means of further progress.
The architect, engineers, and
contractors who have built this
hospital, as well as the medical pro
fession of the state, tell us that
the hospital and its equipment is
the most modern of any hospital in
the country. In building this hos
pital, my brothers and I wanted
to provide a building and equip
ment that would be a credit to Car
teret County and the state of
North Carolina every room has
been air-conditioned as well as
heated, and the building has been
constructed in a way that, we be
lieve, will be modern 50 years from
today.
We have chosen the name "Sea
Level Community Hospital" as it
was our desire to have all the com
munities from Beaufort to Cedar
Island represented In the operation
and management of the hospital
and, to this end, 21 trustees have
been selected from these commun
ities to hold, operate and manage
the hospital for the benefit of the
people of the community and Eas
tern Carteret County.
The hospital has been provided
with experienced and competent
personnel, and the medical staff
of the hospital, comprising the
doctors of Carteret County and New
Bern, as shown on your program,
are capable and outstanding men
in theft- profession.
We hope, as time passes, that
this hospital will become one of
the leading medical institutions of
the State and that its reputation
and standing will be a credit to
these communities, Carteret Coun
ty and the State of North Carolina.
It, therefore, affords me great

low Mr. Potter the full $80 commis
