SUCCESS OF HOSPITAL FUND DRIVE
LEADS TO PROSPECT OF ADDITION
With Many Still Anxious To Contribute, Executors
Announce That Addition Will Be Built if Receipts
Justify Committee Only Sc, 900 Short of Original
Goal of $4,000

With the goal of $4,000 in sight,
and with many individuals and bust
ness concerns yet to contribute, it was
announced this week by those in
charge of the plans for the hospital,
that if enough additional funds were
received the proposed wing or addi-
ton to the main building would be
constructed along with the original
structure
This wing, the bueprints show, has
capacity of five two-bed rooms on
both second and third floors, which
would give the hospital a capacity of
twenty additional beds. The space on
the first floor of the addition is
scheduled for storage and a morgue
room.
1t was pointed out that construction
would be much more economical if
done at the same time as the main
building, and that the interior could
be completed at any time in the fu-
ture. Furthermore, they also stated,
if not needed for patients Immediate
ly, portion of the addition could be
used for nurses quarters. 1t was cs-
timated that the complete addition
would cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, which would mean the raising
of an additional 100000 locally, to be
matched by federal funds, SO cents
for every dollar.
E. r. Jones and j. NJ. Jarboe, eX-
ecutors of the will, and under the
terms of the will charged with the
responsibility of constructing the hos
pital, declared they felt sure that the
addition would be needed almost i'm
mediately as it was impossible to get
patient in hospital anywhere in
this area unless he was an emergency
case, and that all hospitals were filled
to overfloWing.
County chairmen in the drive to
raise the $4,000 this week urged
those who had not done 50, to make
their contributions as soon as possible
and also asked those who had made
their pledges to make their returns at
an early date.
Contributions and definite pledges
received this week amounted to &c.
65465 which brought the total in the
drive thus far to $74,010.50.
Chief among the contributions this
week was check for $1,000 from the
Johnstown Coal and Coke company
and VindeX Stores, Inc, Of NindeX,
and the mine workers there also con-
tributed $297. The Amish congre
cation of the Gortner section contri-
buted $575, and two concerns from
Terra Alta, w. Va, gave generous
contributions. Mrs. Carlton Hine-
baugh, Jr., Philadelphia, also sent a
check this week for $500, to be used
in memory of the late Dr.. NJ. c. Hinc-
baugh, Sr.
Definite Pledges
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hansen, Baltl-
more, $250.00.
Cash Contributions

Legion Auxiliary
Holds Regular Meeting

The American Legion Auxiliary
had its regular meeting Thurs
day night, January goth, at 7:30 at
the City Hall with the following
members present: Mesdames Hal
Gillian, E. H. Skinner, j. H. Warn
er, c. w. Buck, M. A. Brown, c. o.
Buck, Walter Sharpe, w. H. Scott,
w. d. Rutledge, Roy Garrett, H. G..
Digs, and j. B. Robertson. Two
new members were also with us;
Hilda CHM and Mrs. Bessie Lehman
the latter being our Gold Star
Mother.
The colors were advanced by Mrs,
Walter Sharpe, after which Allegian-
ce to the Flag was given; the pre-
amble read in unison, and 80 sec
onds silence observed in memory of
our dead.
Invocation was said by Mrs.
Skinner, who substituted for our
chaplain, Mrs. Minnie Digs.
The minutes of the previous meet
ing were read and approved and a
good report was given by Commun-
ity Chairman, Mrs. Scott. Mrs. War
ner gave glowing account of the
luncheon given in honor of the nat
ional president, Mrs. Norten Pearl
at the Robert E. Lee Hotel the 18th
of this month.
Plans were discussed for the Le-
gion Birthday Party to be given in
March, and it was voted that 80s
Poppies be ordered to be sold in
May. Some rehabilitation work was
talked over.
There being no further business
we adjourned and joined the Lee
gionnaires to view very interesting
picture show which was dedicated
to the new air force, the star plane
being the Memphis Belle.

ing on this conviction, the industry
will produce during the new year,
Mr.. Burchenal REVEALED, 95 million
square feet of tile. This will exceed
the 1916 output by over IS per cent.
Equally important, from the stand
point of the dealer in building sup
plies, this 1947 production will be
about 20 million square feet more
than was turned out in 1925, greatest
BODYBUILDING year in the nations
history, he said.
To met this 1947 schedule. the in
dustry has under way national pro-
gram of promotion with key build
ing groups, has intensified research
aimed at reducing installation costs,
and is doubling its efforts to stimu-
late apprenticeship in the tile
setting trade.
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1947-02-27

believe they will lift their 1947 pro-
duction to all-time peaks. They
recognize that labor and manage
ment may have differences which
could upset schedules again. But by
and large they believe these differ
ences will not be so sharp as they
were in 1916.
More and Better controls
The field of automatic controls
which, as expected, blossomed in
1916, will expand further in 1947 to
increase the number and variety of
products made next year, according
to the year-end statement of Harold
w. Sweat, president of Minneapolis
Honeywell Regulator Company. The
war, he said, educated industry to
the realization that in many cases
control instruments can do given
tasks with greater accuracy and eff
ficiency than human manpower.
Market studies prove that the de-
sire and demand for control instru-
ments exist, Mr. Sweat said, but
he believes that concentrated sell
ing will be required in the new
year. With competition growing,
Minneapolis Honeywell has expand
ed its sales force and carried on an
intensive training program in an
ticipation of the return of buyers
market. A buyers market may very
well become major factor by the
end of 1947, Mr.. Sweat believes.
Home Construction to Increase
With fewer restrictions in the con-
struction field, 1947 should bring a
substantial increase in the number
of homes built as well as in hos
pitfalls and commercial units, accord
ing to Charles H. Burchenal, chair
man of the Tile Council of America
whose members account for SO per
cent of the nations tile output. Act

Forestry Facts For The Delta Given;
Holmes County Highest Producer


An analysis of the 1916 annual re.
port of the Timber Severance Tax
Division of the Mississippi State Tax
Commission provides some interest
ing figures for the forestry-minded
people of the Delta. First, some gen.
eral information.
Fifty-nine and three-tenths per-
cent of all the cordwood on which
Mississippi has collected taxes in the
past six and one-half years left the
state. In contrast, very little, saw
log timber was exported for manuf-
acturing purposes. Shipments made
to Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana
and Alabama were balanced by i'm
ports received from these states.
Of the total amount of tax collect
ed in the eighty-two counties OF
Mississippi. June l, 1910 to Deem
Der 81, 1916, the eighteen Delta coun-
ties paid $193, 1884 or 1917 per-
cent. Two-thirds of this money re-
turned to the county. During 1916
S32. 636.36 was collected in Delta
counties, or 8.61 percent of the
states total collections. Yazoo coun-
tv was the source of highest taxes
collected: $5,66418 for the year
1916 and $30,275.77 for the six and a
half year period Sunflower county
was low with $17.52 and $244.63
respectively.
With reference to the county
tabulations of total number of cords
of wood as severed and reported by
producers. Bruce Van Zandt of the
State Severance Tax Division states
that some error may have been in
Cured where producers cut ano
shipped wood near a county line ano
inadvertently reported production II
the wrong county ''This does no
affect the state total" stated Mr.
Van Zandt. The Delta produced 3.54
percent of Mississippi's pulpwooo
in 1916 (41,765) and 4.22 per
cont 1910 1916 (247,997 cords)

ducing no pulpwood in ls46. sun
flower only ten cords during the
vecr and l39 cords for the total SIN
end hulf years.
The figures on drain of lunbe IN
board feet do not include pulpwooo
and stumpwood drain. Total Delta
footage drain in 1916 was 2O5,oo9'ooo
and June LIST, 1910 to December 81,
l946. 1888, 900. Percent of state
total was 1921 for 1916, 11.04 for the
longer period.
So much for timber severed. There
still remains the very great need LOT
a forest inventory so there can be an
accurate determination OF the
amount of standing timber or pulp
wood in the state and by county or
area. What and how timber is cut
is relative only to sustained yleid
and full production.

leaders seem agreed on one point:
the nations retailers, distributors
and dealers will have more plentiful
supply of goods. This means that the
phrase Sorry, we don't have any,
will not be heard as often in 1947
as in 1916. And as the supply of
goods of all kinds increases, COM
