Furthermore, the report stressed

First Meeting To Establish In
StitutiOn Held On Tues
day, August 2, 1888.

The need for a hospital in Ashe
county has long been felt and for
many years such an institution
has been the dream of a number
of outstanding local citizens.
From time to time in its edi-
torial columns this paper has
stressed the dire need for a mo-
dern, adequate hospital right
here at home, and has lamented
the fact that the nearest institU-
ton of this kind is located 35
miles away. With over $4,000 peo-
pie in the county, it seemed like
shame not to have a good hos
pital.
After helping to conduct a sue
cessful campaign to secure a full
time health department, the COM
munity service committee of the
Jeffersons Rotary club invited a
group of representative citizens
to meet in the office of DR.. B. E.
Reeves and to discuss the posi-
bilities of establishing a county
hospital.
This meeting was held on Tues
day night, August 2.
Representatives from various
county organizations and profess
sions attended the meeting. At
ter discussing different phases of
the proposed project, it was de-
cided that committees would be
appointed to make a thorough stu
dy and investigation and be pre-
pared to report their findings at
another meeting, which was set
for August 16 in the American
Legion hall.
Chosen as chairmen of the six
committees named at the initial
meeting were Rev. r. H. Stone,
need of a county hospital COM
mittee; J. B. Hash, finance COM
mittee; Ed M. Anderson, public
relations committee; Wade E. Ell
Ter, location committee; R. E. L.
Plummer, building and building
plans; DIR. B. E. Reeves, person
mel committee; Roy Badger, hos
utilization and insurance COM
mittee.
While a more comprehensive
report on the history Of the move
ment is covered in an accom-
panying story in this issue of The
Post, suffice it to say that the
need for a hospital in Ashe coun-
ty was considered imperative af-
ter a specially prepared report was
presented at the next Hospital
meeting" by its author, Rev. Mr..
Stone, outstanding local Presby-
terian minister and now secretary
of the Mecklenburg Presbytery.
In his report, the committee
chairman showed that there had
been several people who had re-
Gently died primarily because of
the lack of hospital facilities. The
nearest hospital, it was pointed
out, was located in North Wilkes
boro, distance of some ,35 miles.
Continuing, Mr.. Stone men
toned in his report that an Ashe
mother had died and left a new
born baby-all because the in
Urinary in Boone had been unable

Margaret Horton was angry and
disguised. She grasped her golf
stick firmly in both hands, and
with neither preliminaries nor
thought of direction swung it
against the little white ball lying
on the grass. Peggy's mind, how
ever, was not on golf. Her brOws
were furrOwed, her body tense;
her whole manner that of haste
and excitement rather than de-
liberate concentration.
There was a sharp sound as the
ball struck and a sudden grind
ing of brakes.

his pockets he held one of them
out to her. There was a small
jewelers. box in the palm. He
opened the box and Peggy was
staring at beautiful ring with a
star design of sapphires set in
platinum on each side of large
square cut diamond.
"How lovely!" she exclaimed.
Eyes, it is pretty, isn't it? I had
1t made in New York. But it's no
good to me now. At least it won't
be until get home. Then I may
try to patch things up. But you
can have it for a week. I'm going
to be in Lockton that long"
"Oh, I couldn't" Peggy cried.
Thanks a lot for offering, but I
couldn't use some other girls

why not? She'll never know
1t. l know you'll be careful with
1t. You've got to take it. I won't
have you embarrassed like that
just over a ring when I have one
right here that isn't being used
anyway. Try it -on and see if it
fits"
Hesitatingly, Peggy reached for
the ring and slipped it on the
third finger of her left hand.
See, it's perfect" Harry cried
with delight. Exc on now, show
that to your ex-roommate and let

play this afternoon. I'll be back
here at noon week from today.
III meet you here and you can
give it back to me then"
"But-why-I mustn't take your
ring this way. I might lose it, or
some one might steal it,"
"You aren't going to think all
that when you get your own en-
aagement ring, are you? Well,
why should anything be more
likely to happen to this one than
If it were your own? Don't be sill
ly. But don't forget to meet me
here next Wednesday, or I'll come
charging up to the door and de-
mand my property from your
grandmother. Have a grand time
this week and tell me all about
it Wednesday,"
Peggy was standing now, star
ing at the ring. II can't begin to
thank you. You're just a peach to
do this for me, and I'll be here
with the ring when you come
back. Good luck at the golf, and
hope your real girl will be as
thrilled to have this back as I am
to have it now. It's the loveliest
thing I've ever SEEN"
Harry jumped into the road
ster with its Scared windshield,
which they had both forgotten,
and drove away with a last wave
at the girl who stood watching
him disappear around a curve of
the road.
Reluctantly Peggy drew the
ring from her finger. She must
not let her grandmother see it.
She would put it on on the way
to the station and explain to Nam
cy that Mrs. Horton knew nothing
of her granddaughter engage
ment. Nancy would like that. She
loved things to be mysterious,
Peggy remembered. Harry had
thoughtlessly kept the box, so she
was obliged to tie the ring in the
corner of her handkerchief, and
stuff it into the pocket of her
torn sweater.

I've only seen her on the
screen few times. Gran won't
let me go to movies" Harry's
mouth and eyes opened wide in

quarrel about it, only Gran is
even more particular about me,
you see."
what I don't ~see is how with
all this chaperonage, you've had
much opportunity to know any
man we'll enough to get so
wrought up about him. Was it
someone you met while you were
at SCHOOL,"
Peggy's face became scarlet and
Harry stared in amazement. A
girl of his own generation was
blushing!
"It isn't any real man." she
murmured. ooh, might as we'll
tell you," she added impatiently.

when I came home I kept getting
letters from the girls l had
known at school telling about
their good times, and Of course l
had nothing to write about. Then
began to write them about the
parties that were written up in
the little paper here.
According to my letters I went
to all of them; boys were thrown
in by the dozens. Two Of the girls
wrote me recently that they were
engaged. One of them was my
roommate and we had planned to
do everything together. Double
wedding and all that. Well, like
nut, I wrote back that no one
knew about it, but that was en-
gagged too. She hadn't mentioned
the name of the man she was 60
ing to marry. Only called him by
his nickname. Needless to say I
did the same. said how sweet he
was, and what a heavenly ring I
had, and a lot of such bunk. Now

heard of anything so silly"
IT don't see anything about that
to get so bet up about" Harry re-
piled.
"Well, that's not the worst. This
morning I had a telegram from
my roommate saying she was
coming to visit me for week,
arriving this afternoon; and I
can't produce a man, or a ring,
or anything!"
'"That is bad," Harry agreed. II
wish I hadn't signed up for that
golf tournament, I'd stick around
for a week-engaged to you. I'm
pretty good in that line"
Peggy laughed. "That wouldn't
help. Gran wouldn't let you in
the front door. I couldn't leave
even pretended husband-to-be
parked here on the road for a
week. There's nothing to it. I'll
either have to confess the whole
thing, or say I've broken off the
engagement, and listen to her rave
about her fiance."

Anyway, there was a feeling OF
companionship, sitting here in the
stiffness of the country morning,
gazing across the road into the

a mood for the exchange of con-

SurvivorSof Wreck Landed
 Al keitIlikan
Gunbodt Charleston Is Res cue Ship-1rdnsport Hits
 on Terrible Night

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Jan. 29.-- First survivors of the United States Army transport Kvichak, which hit on Sisters Rock in Finlayson Chan nel at 10:33 o'clock Monday night, northbound to the Annette Island Air Base, reached here this morning aboard the U.S.S. gunboat Charles ton.
 MT. and Mrs. David Wisley, of Rock Island, Illinois, bound for the air base, said they had a terrible night after the transport struck.
 One Woman Passenger
 MT. Wisley said: We went to the beach in lifeboat and could hear another lifeboat behind us. We were running with the tide but could not see a thing as the night was pitch dark and no lights were on the ship. We reached the beach about 500 yards away and made our way up cove about mile from the scene of the wreck and stayed there until noon yesterday Then we were picked up and later taken aboard the Charleston.
 Mrs. Wisely was the only woman aboard the Kvichak. She said the experience was exciting but she was not frightened.
 The Charleston brought B pas- sengers, 16 of whom are civilians, seven soldiers and "A crewmen who survived the wreck.
 Capt. w. w. Williamson, Chief Engineer Einar Eckstrom and II crewmen remained aboard the Xvi chak.
 Terrible Night
 "It was a terrible night, heavy seas and stormy" said pilot Haul gen but he declined further con- ment on the cause of the wreck.
 Hans Bushman, the other pilot, said it was a bad night all right.
 Ralph Reese, quartermaster, said four lifeboats were put over the side of the Kvichak, the first about an hour after the ship struck because of the seas which were too high to attempt earlier launching. Reese said he did not know until daylight that one of the lifeboats had capsized. Work was hampered because only flashlights were used as lights on the transport were out.
 Reese said the second lifeboat reached a small island. Twenty three were aboard this lifeboat They walked around until picked up by American Can Company agents in a small craft which was first on the scene. The survivors were then taken to the Charleston when it arrived.
