Trustees Chosen
by Doctors and
Hospitals of N. {.

Trustees of Hospital Saving
Association represent equally
the doctors, hospitals and the
people of North Carolina. The
Medical Society of the state
chooses four of its members to
serve on the board, the state
Hospital Association chooses
four and together these eight
select four trustees to serve with
them from the public at large.
Each year, the president of
the Hospital Association of
North Carolina becomes a trus-
tee, replacing the former presi-
dent of that body. This was
true of the Medical Society also,
until this year, when Society
rules were changed to permit
the president-elect to serve in
stead. This enables the future
head of the Society to become
familiar with his special trustee
ship for Blue Cross-Blue Shield
before he takes office.
This years newly-elected
head of the Hospital Association
is R. z. Thomas, administrator
of Charlottee Memorial Hospi-
tai. Other trustees representing
the hospitals are J. Lyman Mel
vim, administrator of Park View
Hospital in Rocky Mount and

These have sought sanctuary on Big
Pine Key, 20 miles northeast of Key
West. This retreat has been swept by
fire., Pine and palmetto and giant
occupy the area. You find
wide areas of blackened trunks a
few buttonwood and adjacent fringes
of red mangroves. There are small
water holes in which there is enough
fresh water for the deer to slack
their thirst.
Apparently these deer have been
hunted in and out of season. If you
drop in one of the many restaurants
in Key West you are likely to see
diminutive mounted deerheads dis
played on the walls. At first the
heads appear too small to be real.
The eyes are entirely too big. But
the ears are so natural in appear

D. E. McMorran, Pan American traffic and sales head for the AL aska Region, announced today that June was the busiest month his company has ever recorded in 19 years operation of the Territory.
 In establishing a new one-month passenger record, the airline car ried 6,580 people, an increase of 33.5 percent over the same period year ago.
 But the biggest gain was in Clipper cargo - 720,227 - pounds being flown northbound from Se- attle-a 42 per cent jump over last June and nearly 100000 pounds above PAA's previous all- time high for one month.
 Because request for space was tremendously heavy, in addition to regular schedules, Pan Ameri- can operated 37 extra flights or sections to Alaska points during the month.
