Plan To Secure WPA Project
On Ashe Hospital Continues
Building Plans And Finance
Committees Are Urged To
Get Busy At Once.

At another lively meeting of the
hospital committee held Monday
night in the Legion hall here, it was
decided that the building plans and
finance committees should get busy
at once working on proposed WPA
project for the erection of an Ashe
county hospital.
The building plans committee,
composed of r. E. L. Plummer,
chairman, DR.. Robert E. King, Wade
Eller, B. D. Barr, E. M. Jenkins and
DR.. Dean Jones, was instructed to
submit building plans to the WPA
Office in North Wilkesboro this week
and get an estimate as soon as pos
sible as to how much the sponsors
share of a project will be.
The finance committee, composed
of j. B. Hash, chairman, r. E. L.
Plummer, Dean Mcmillan, G. B.
Price, Rev. R. H. Stone and DR.. Dean
Jones, was instructed to launch
drive as soon as possible to raise the
sponsors share, which will be de-
termined by the building plans COM
mittee and WPA.
Another meeting was called for
next Monday night at the Legion
hall and these committees are ex-
pected to submit reports.
Wade E. Eller presided and as
chairman of the special committee
to find out what requirements would
be necessary to secure a WPA pro-
ject, made the following report:
WPA will accept an Ashe county
hospital project if the county or
either of the Jeffersons will sponsor
it and furnish the sponsors share
of funds which were estimated to
run around 30 percent.
With nurses and surgeons home,
and garage included, a suggested
project of 100000 was recon-
mended. 1t was pointed out that
the hospital building alone would
probably only cost around $25, 1000 to
$4,000.
Mr.. Eller advocated the organiza-
ton of an Ashe County Hospital
Association, incorporate or chart
er it as a non-profit organization, to
raise the sponsors share.
He stated that such an organiza-
ton could raise money from the
sale of membership or non-negoti-
able stock that would be given COM
pletely to the sponsoring agency and
after the construction of the hospit-
al, the institution could be leased
to this organization to operate on a
non-proft basis. Such a plan would
enable those who made the hospital
possible to operate it for public good
through board of trustees or di-
rectors and free it from politics.
During the discussion Rev. r. H.
Stone still contended that his plan
of establishing a privately owned
hospital in Jefferson would be more
practical than the WPA project in
spite Of the fact that at approx
mately the same cost to Ashe citi-
zens WPA project would insure
the erection of a large and more
modern building.
About 20 persons were present
and took part in the discussion.
The final decision of put
ting the building and finance com.
miftees to work was made after
an amendment was passed to mo-
ton to try to raise the sponsors
share bv December 1St

BENDING THE KNEE
BEFORE ROYALTY

How many broken hearts do you sup
pose there are in the country now because
of the decision of Ambassador Kennedy
to discontinue the practice of presenting
lady visitors to London at the Court of
st. James?
There probably are more than most of
Us suspect, and certainly more than their
owners would admit. Maternal ambitions
to have the daughter kneel before a king
and queen seem little out of character
here, but, then, there are more than a
few proud descendants of several gener-
ations of thorough Americans who some
times are just a little out of character
themselves, whether they would enjoy
the thought or not
Almost everybody gets .'out of charac-
ter briefly from time to time There's
no use breaking any more hearts now,
so why not suggest substitute for this
court presentation business?

SPEND AND DESTROY

(WOOdlake EchO)
And now comes the proposal from an
automobile manufacturer for the gov
ernment to spend $100,000,000 buying
and scrapping 100000 old automobiles
on the theory that the automobile indus
try employs one out of every seven per-
sons, directly and indirectly.
The idea is no different than paying
farmers for not raising crops, plowing
under cotton, destroying young pigs,
buying surplus farm crops, etc. But its
pretty hard for the old school who were
taught to save and produce, to get used
to the way Of spending and destroying
Nebraska, debt-free, with no income
tax, no sales tax and minus several other
nuisance taxes, wants none of the IVA
kind of business within her borders and
is fighting the governments proposal to
electrify a water-dam project for the
purpose of selling energy to consumers.
Privately owned companies, Nebraskans
insist, are doing the job efficiently and
honestly.-Alameda Times-Star.

done some good-SOme great good.
