It was reported that its debts could mouit to $150,000, Creditors are said tobe threat ening suit, one of which ts a dairy firm that alleges tt is owed $7,000 for milk. Officials are said to have traced some of the difficulty to the fact that medicare payments are slow coming in. The most burning question is to whe n the hospital is titled. There are those who say that it is titled to the county in fee simple and :he county is responsible for its debts. There are others who say that it is a separate entity and its as sets are subject to liens. The matter has long since been of keen concern to Durham citizens and figured in a re cent band issue that is said to have been defeated due to the fact there were those who saw a dealing out for Lincoln, There is another school of thought that feels that a mer ger with Watts is the answer. Its history is cherished, but for ward looking people say change is inevitable, sm .iking was done mainly by the younger enlisted men. Re ports that pot had been found on killed or wounded soldiers have been kept quiet. Indica tions are that some Gl’s are lighting up on the battlefield. At the military prison in Longbinh.

This seems to have been true when the funeral of seven small children, who died as the result of food poison ing last week, was held in the gymnasium of the high school. While the funeral was being held the sheriff was carrying on an extensive in vestigation and it was report ed Tuesday that the parents had been arrested and held for neglect. The Sunday funeral drew a crowd of more than 1,000 of both races, Including the may or and a member of the city council. A white woman, la menting the tragedy, said, “this is a very close com munity.” Indicating that the sorrows of the parents of the unfortunate children were the sorrows of the community. They were the children of James, 32, and Annie Mae, 29, Richardson. The father is listed as a migratory orange picker. The spectacle began Wed nesday of last week, when the children were stricken after having eaten a lunch of grits, rice, beans and pork, which had been prepared by their parents, before they left for work. The food is said to have contained parathion. The casta strophe began to unfold as six of the children died on returning to school in the afternoon and the seventh passed away early Thursday.

MtmmlmSm, rVr°*v*, EUNICE JOYNER The deaths set off a massive investigation and their was a rumor that the children had been poisoned to collect a SI,OOO on each child, on poli cies taken out, by the father, the night before. It was found that the policies were not in benefit, due to the fact the father could not borrow the ad vance payment of $4.00. It looked as if the last rites were planned to dramatize sorrow accompanied by grief. The white caskets were plac ed in a semicircle before the stage and three ministers sat on the stage as the unusual funeral began with the ele ments making a conducive set ting. In (jpliverjng the sermon, the Rev. C. S. Elder, pastor, Elizabeth Baptist Church took the time to say,“God is simp ly saying to Arcadia, 'Set your house in order’.” The songs, sung by a choir of young chil dren, did not detract from the dim and fog of atonement that attended the mourners. The ago -old custom of “viewing the body” almost threw the last rites into pan demonium, as the father cried to almost hysterical fervor. (See STUNS.
