R AISING MONEY
FOR RELIEF WORK
Sum of $4,000 Subscribed to
Help Former Catawba
Patients.

upto this time about $4,000 of the
requisite $1,000 has been subscribed to
the cause Of the Caawba Relief Asso-
citation, organized for the purpose OF
caring for patients discharged from
the Catawba Sanatorium by operation
OF the new six mouths rule. Although
somewhat discouraged with the rather
slow response from the public. Presi-
dent Charles L. Brauer hopes that the
remainder Will be secured
This sum is desired to be used In
the erection of building on the san
atorium property. to house and care
for those patients who would other
wise be obliged to leave the institution
after stay OF six months The plan
Is TO construct and equip the struc-
ture with this money. The patients
would then continue to pay the reg
ular rate of IS per week for board and
treatment The State Board of Health
would be able to extend care to these
people until the next meeting OF the
Legislature, especially In consideration
OF the practical presentation of $1,000
of assets TO the State.
The board recently decided that no
patient may remain at the Catawba
Sanatorium for longer than six months.
II there are applicants for admission
on the waiting list This action was
taken because persons waiting for adj
mission would lose their only hope of
cure by delay. the board believing tina
after six months OF treatment and
training those patients in the sanato-
rum would be In better position to
care for themselves and better edu-
Gated as TO the prevention of the
spread of infection. than those on the
waiting list
But. unfortunately. some OF the pa
tients forced to leave under this rule
do not find congenial surroundings at
home. Relatives and friends are
sometimes apprehensive of infection,
and try to avoid the residence OF the
afflicted person at home. Adding to
this the conviction that in any case
the patients are better of in the SAN
atorium, the motif OF the relief assoc
citation may be seen.

MAKE new PLANS
FOR ms TITUTE.
Design Confederate Memorial to
Have Artistic Con-
tents.

Efforts being made by the Committed
In charge to so modify the plans for
the Confederate Memorial Institute as
not to detract from It's beauty and
majesty, nor from It's perraanency;
seem near success. New plans arg be-
Ing prepared by the architect, the de-
tails being carefully considered at
every turn. When they are complete,
new bids will be called for
Recent bids based on the plan as
originally adopted proved to be so
much higher than was anticipated by
the executive committee of the Con-
federate Memorial Association that
all were rejected. The committee does
not desire to expend all of It's money
IN o building and then have an empty
Institute" on It's hands, which, 1t be-
lieves, would be q sore disappointment
to the public. 1t is the theory that It
would be best to have some available
funds for the installation of at least
q few works of art.
Such a course would, 1t is believed,
have the additional effect OF setting a
standard for the character Of the CON-
tents OF the structure. It Is hoped
that nothing Will aver be placed In
the Confederate Memorial Institute
which is not of the best of its kind.
and that taste and artistic merit will
not be sacrificed to multitude of exA
hibits
States will PROBABLY be invited to
contribute statues OF their famous men
to grace what is intended to be made
tho institute par excellence for a
memorial to the Confederate cause.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS J. Taylor Elly<
son. president OF the Confederate
Memorial Association, thinks the new
plans will be ready within short
