In part, his letter jjead, "I would like to avoid appearing in your court on condition that I pay amount of my fine, or costs, or both, to the school lunch fund, Cherry Point School, Havelock, N. C. "Reasons for this request is a$ follows: "1. 1 will have four sons in that school, starting September the first. I believe I should help that school and especially the lunch fund for that reason. My financial condition won't permit much help from me otherwise. "2. The speeding actually took place in Craven County and I be lieve (correct me if I am wrong) they should have sent me to the court in New Bern, instead. I am not trying to get out of paying or claiming innocence. This is my only traffic charge. I have had two others in my 22 years of driving; one stop light and once driving with an expired (1 day) license plate. "3. I am in the last month of a four-month school at Montford Point. Camp Lejeune, and missing one day might cause me to fail. 1 am that low in my grades at this time. "4. Enclosed is my check to the school, in case you will be kind j enough to do this, on which you can fill in the amount. This will be an appreciated favor to the school, to my boys. And I have resolved to make no further excep tions to sane driving (I don't grink and was only hurrying to save some bread money). "If this request is not granted, please postpone my case until after 20 August (end of this school). Sincerely yours. Gordon Poling." Mr. James said that Mr. Poling's case had been continued. In the space on the check which is left for the reason the check was written, Mr. Poling wrote, "To feed the kids better." Barrus Enters Low Bid on Jobs Barrus Construction Co..

Hospital Administrator Speaks to B&PW Club Marshall Whisnant, administra tor at Sea Level Hospital, spoke to the Carteret Business and Profes sional Women's Club Tuesday night on "What People Get for Their Hospital Dollar." The club met at the Sea Level Inn for dinner. , Becausc the quality of medical care is better, hospital costs have increased proportionately, Mr. Whisnant said. Commenting on hospital service, department by department, tbe ad ministrator told club members that they are getting more for their dol lar today than they did 20 years ago. In the X-ray department equip ment costs have risen because new types of equipment have been de veloped which enable doctors to take more accurate dlagnoais and treat diseaae more skillfully. Thr old type X-ray equipment which "costs less" is today inadequate, be explained. In the hospital laboratory now type* of recently - developed equip ment is necessary for lower Laefc nical procedures. Salaries (or lab oratory technicians are higher, too, Mr. Whisnant said. More instruments and modern equipment are needed for oper ating and delivery rooms. In the dietary department higher stan dards of food service have been established, sanitation demands mean closer supervision by skilled persons and as a result wages in that department are. higher. Research baa brought many changes in the type drugs uied. Costa of maintaining drug depart ments are higher, in addition to drugs themselves being more ex pensive. Hospital maintenance, along with other normal maintenance costs of any type building have reached a new high. There are higher pay rolls for nurses and an all-around higher quality of medical care, the speaker declared. This rise may continue for the next five years, Mr. Whisnant add Z: sm mtw, rat* ? k &U.
