OUR TOWN
The people of Yancey and Mit
chell Counties have been fortunate
indeed In having had a first rate
neaJfch officer during the past nine
months. Dr. Hahn, a mala cal man
c-f unquestioned competence, and a
•scholar and a gentleman”, has
in a short time proved to be an
exceptional asset to our commun
ity.
It has, consequently, come as a
shock to many of us to learn that
-i® has tendered his resignation,
affective June 30. We only hope
that his decision is not final and
irrevocable, and that the commiss
ioners of ttje two counties can see
their way to keep him here.
As mayor of Burnsville, I am
ex-officio a member of the two
county Boarl of Health, and there
for acquainted with the unhappy
circumstances leading to the dot
tor’s resignation.
The problem boils down to this:
the commissioners of the two
counties have been unwilling l to'
budget for the next fiscal year
(July 1, 1964 to June 30, 1965) suf
ficient funds, as Dr. Hahn sees
it, to run the Health Department
properly. During the present fiscal
year (just ending), the department
has been operating on a very tight
budget. All reserves have been

[ drained, and to get by at all, it
• has even been necessary to employ
' funds contributed by the Yancey
; United Fund to pay telephone bills.
The budget which the commiss
' loners are insisting upon for next
year cuts below even last year’s
1 “minimum budget’’. A majority
of the Board of Health, we believe,
agree with Dr. Hahn that under
this cut budget the Health Depart
ment cannot render the services
needed in the two counties, and
Dr. Hahn is simply not willing) to
continue with bis department ser
hamstrung. f
The motive of the commission
ers, we are sure, is simply one of
feconomy— apraise worthy motive,
at least up to a point; but the ques
tion is how far economy should go
with respect to such an essential
service as public health.
There is, unfortunately, a second
factor, involved In the provision of
, funds for the health department by
the two counties. This is the shar
ing of expenses fairly between the
two counties. In the history of our
health department there is a re
grettable record of inter-oounty
jealousy, and lack of a spirit of
fair dealing between counties. Un
til October, 1961, we were part of
a thrfe-oounty health district, in
cluding Avery in addluon to Mit
chell and Yancey. This district
foundered as a resut of the ffdl
ure by Avery to bear what the
Mitehell Commissioners felt was
Avery's fair share of the expense.
Now, it appears that in the inter
county “poker playing” to see
which county can put up the least
for its health service, Mitchell
County has been following in the
steps of Avery. Here are the fig
ures for the amounts paid by the
two counties since the two-county
district was formed in 1961, for
the balance of the first year, egch
county paid $7,238. For the fiscal
year 1962-1963 paid Yancey $9,600
while Mitchell paid only $6,981.
For the present fiscal year which
ends this month, Yancey has paid
SIO,OOO, while Mitchell again has
paid only $6,881.
deadly this is not a fair appor-|
tianment, more especially when
we remember that Mitchell has
two health department offices, as
against Yancey's one, and that
Mitchell holds two clinics a week,
against Yancey’s one.
This unfair apportionment does
suggest one fact: that Yancey’s
commissioners have leaned over
backwards to support our health
department. It also might suggest
that in the “poker playing” be
tween counties, our commission
ers have come off second best.
In any event it is regretable
That there shoull be competition
between t]Je counties to see which
can pay the least. In such a com
petition the health department
work Is sure to be the loser. For
something as important as public
health—and we art convinced that
it is of tremendous importance—
we can only wish that a spirit of
better cooperation and fairness
prevailed.

This, of course. Is only a;. story

In such foolish boasting. Ibis is
one reason why God will not al

by good'works. See what Hie Says
in His Word:
“For by grace are ye saved,
through faith; and that not of
yoursehes; lit. la the gift dt God;
not of works, test any man should

This is important. Wo cannot

God, through Christ who died for
our sins.
"For the wages off sin Is dead:,
but the gift of God is eternal life,
