' Several m6oils0s have been held as the fund grows, and alms for its use have been set up. They are: (1) The fund should contribute the most good for the medical care of the citizens of Perquimans County. (2) It must be used in a project of lasting value to serve as a fitting Mem orial. (3) The fund should be used In a manner which ft is felt that Dr. Brinn would have per sonally believed in and approved. The amount received will, of course, determine its ultimate use as a Memorial. When con tributions are all received a pub lic dedication service may be held. The names of those who have contributed will be record ed In a suitable book and present ed to the Briun family as a per manent record of the esteem In which Dr. Brinn was held, and as a Memorial to his forty years' service to the area. i iiiiiiuiiiiiiii miiniiiiii 15 l I . .

Medical Progress Committee Meets The first meeting of the com mittee recently named by the County Commissioners to ex plore the possibility of getting area physicians to help keep the Hertford clinic open was held on May 20 at the home of Mrs. T. P. Brinn. At that time a letter was draft ed requesting any interested phy sicians to get in touch with the local committee. This letter was sent out, but no favorable re sponse was received. Following this meeting the Committee called on Dr. W. H. Romm of Moyock, Councilor, Firsi District Medical Society, to see if he could be of any as sistance In securing some kind of medical aid at this time. Dr. Romm presented our problems to the meeting of the North Car olina Medical Society in Plne hurst last weoi. and while he met with a sympathetic response, nothing concrete can be reported at this time. Isiriiscussijig our ipedicalprob-, lems with prospective physi cians, it is always pointed but that a community must' have something to offer in order to attract competent people. It would seem that a kind of despair has swept over the County and many people feel that no one will ever come here. But, as has been pointed out by people on a State level, .this area will have to pull itself up by its own bootstraps and become an attractive, well run, progressive community which will make people want to live here. Everyone realizes that the county of Perquimans is richly endowed with natural resources, beautiful rivers and creeks, fer tile land, wholesome people. But we do not seem to be able to sell visitors on these virtues. And it is not a County problem, but an Individual one - one in which everyone must be willing to be come involved. We are compet ing with more than eighty other communities in North Carolina which are in exactly the sam-i sit uation regarding medical care. In order for us to win this battle, it will be necessary that we have full cooperation from each citi zen in the county, and when we get another physician we will have to back him in setting up the kind of medical service which will suit the ever -changing world in which we live today. Dr. Reece Berryhlll and Dr. Jim Musser of the State Com mittee are continuing their ef forts to help us in solving our problem. There is also a new committee headed by former Donald Morgan 4-H Scholarship Winner Donald Morgan, son of Mr, and Mrs. Thomas S.Morgan,Winfall, has been named winner of a $500 educational scholarship from the North Carolina 4-H Development Fund. Morgan, a 1969 graduate of Per quimans High School, Is one of 12 4-H members from across North C arollna selected to share in $6 r 000 of scholarship money being distributed this year by the Fund. Mrs. Ferney Laughlnghouse, Pantego, president of the Fund, says the scholarships are award ed to outstanding 4-H members for college study during the 1969 70 academic year. The 4-H Development Fund, with headquarters at North Caro tllna State University at Raleigh, was organised in 1958 by friends and alumni of 4-H to help sup port certain phases of club work. Mrs, Laughlnghouse explained 10 Centi Per Copy "iiiim IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Governor Luther H, Hodges. He has been consulted and will be of any assistance possible.
