New ""gistrations will be ac cepted tui the voting at all coun ty precincts on Saturday, also Democratic primary voting day. j However, new registrants will be | Ineligible to vote in the primary. I Proponents of the several bond ; Issue elections are pointing out 1 -also that no special registration is required, that the county elec tions books will be used (rather than the city pollbooks as In school district elections), and that persons who have changed resi-' dence to different precincts i feh?ukl obtain transfers.

Re tiring president J. Oliie Harris will be an ex-officlo member of the board. _ Mn. Yelton praised highly the ! Lions club and all Kings Moun tain citizens for their support of Kings Mountain hospital. He said the North Carolina Medical Care commisslo/i could hardly believe it when- Kings Moun tain's 36-toed hospital filed Its annual report on occupancy (78 percent), Its operating state w^pnt, and other annually re quired statements. Kings Moun tain hospital is the only state approved hospital with less than 50 beds, and the proceeds of the bond Issue will toe used to in crease capacity to that figure, Mr. Yelton said. He pointed out that the $220,000 bond lssuto would be divided be tween the Shelby And Kings Mountain units, with $73,000 to the Kings Mountai'h plant. The county's share in the local-state federal project will be slightly more than 31 percent, he continu ed. Answering criticisms on the hospital program, Mr. Yelton said the bond issue and construction resulting therefrom would pro vide needed private rooms, now short at both plants, that the doc tors earn their "convenience" by teaching the student nurse class ics free of charge, and further sta ted "the hospitals never refuse an emergency case." He said the county hospitals I did $115,000 in charity work last year, with only about $50,000 "re- j claimed" in the county tax appro- i priation, plus gifts from Duke > Foundation and other charitable agencfes. Mr. Yelton also conducted a question-answer forum in which he estimated about one- fourth the patients at Shelby hospital are charity patients and outlined rea sons for the "impossibility" of the hospital board's approving the requtest of Upper Cleveland citi zens for a clinic or small hospital plant. Grady Howard, business mana ger of the Kings Mountain unit, was praised by Mr. Yelton and by Hospital Trustee W. L. Plonk, who presented the program, for doing "an outstanding Job".
