liable, the individual or employ
ee who caused the injury may be
held responsible for damages.
If the individual does not have
property from which a Judgment
can be satisfied, there would be
little use in bringing such a suit
Would Susie Smith be able
to recover damages from a hos
pital not operated ny a charit-
able institution?
Yes. Where the profits of the
hospital, if any, are to insure
to the benefit of private individ-
uals, as stockholders or other
wise, the hospital IS liable to
patients for injuries resulting
from the negligence of its nurses
and other employees.
A hospital, char liable or priv
ate. is not liable for injuries re-
sulting from the negligence of a
physician that has been employ
ed by the patient OF someone
other than the hoso ital. The rea-
son is that their professional
treatment is not subject to the
control or direction by the adj
ministrative officers or employ
ees of the hospital. The patients
remedy is to sue the physician.

HOSPITALS
BY ROBERT E. LEE
(For the ". c. Bar Associatiou)


HOSPITALS
Susie Smith was poying patti
ents in a hospital operated by a
non-profit corporation. Due to
the negligence OF employees of
the hospital she was seriously
and permanently injured. May
she recover damages from the
corporation?
No. A non-pToiit or charitable
institution is not liable for the
wrongful and negligent acts OF
its employees. Susie Smith will
be unable to recover from the
hospital damages for her person.
al injuries.
It has been said hat this ex-
emption from liability on the
part of charitable institutions
rests upon grounds of public
policy OF upon the theory that
the property of a Charity is a
trust fund and that the charit-
able objects should rot be hamp-
cred by the wrongful acts of
those chosen TO carry them out.
The fact that Susie Smith was
a paying patient Is immaterial.
Although the hospital made a
, profit on Susie Smith, it was not
a private profit. Tie profit made
on Susie Smith was used by the
charitable institution to care for
the non-paying patients.
This rule Of immunity from
liability for personal injuries ap-
plies not only to hospitals, but to
"a wide variety Of charitable in
,stitutions, such as schools, COL
leges, orphanages, and churches.
The only occasion in North
Carolina where a charitable in
stitution can be held for the
negligent acts of its employees
is when there is proof that il
has not exercised reasonable
care in their selection and re-
tention.
Would Susie Smith be able
TO recover damages from the
employee of the hospital who
neglifently injured herr
Yes. Although the corporation
that operates the hospitaI is not

PERFECT GUESTS
ARE RARE

Friend of ours says the rarest of
individuals is the perfect guest. Why?
He's the one who thinks of the
little things. He notes what time the
family retires and adjusts his own
program accordingly. If the family
has meals at definite hour, the per-
feet guest makes it a point to be on
time.
He believes and practices the old
adage, when in Rome, do as the
Romans do"
Vacation drivers can be perfect
guests, too, when they're away from
home this summer. Even though
North Carolina is perfect Variety
Vacationland," and many of us will
spend our two weeks right here, still
many thousands of others will be visit
ing other states. In sense they will
be guests of that state. -.
The vacation driver must learn the
traffic regulations of the state in
which he is travelling if he wants to
insure himself a safe trip. He must
obey local speed limits. He must
familiarize himself with the nature
of the country he'll be driving
through.
Above all, he'll remember that Just
because he's guest" he has no
right to expect special privileges so
far as traffic is concerned.
We've got July Fourth coming up.
And since it comes on Friday this
year, making a long weekend, the
perfect guest tourist driver will be
more welcome than ever.
The holiday weekend will entice
extra thousands of motorists to the
highways. Some will be using the non
day weekend to get head start on
their annual two week vacation.
Others will be weekenders, dashine

Virginia. Tax figures contained herein
have been changed to reflect those
applicable to Eastern North Caro-
linA.)
When one talks of tax cuts he
probably thinks of it as it affects
himself. He more usually is thinking
about a possible reduction in income
taxes. But there is one tax that could
be eliminated that would help most
households. We are speaking of the
excise tax on telephone calls.
The American people have LONG
considered telephone service to be
necessity. 1t is not luxury.
But both local and long distance
service continue to carry q 10 per
cent federal excise tax. The tax was
originally introduced as q war emer-
gency measure. Although the war has
long been over, the tax has remained
in effect.
Citizens of Eastern North Carolina
who are subscribers of the Carolina
Telephone and Telegraph Company
paid a total of $1,6l9,339 in federal
excise tax on telephone service in
1857. 1t must be pointed out that
customers paid that amount, not the
telephone company. The telephone
company itself, with its rates set by
state and federal regulatory bodies,
paid over two million dollars in fed
eral taxes. Any lifting of the excise
tax would not increase the earnings
of the telephone company or COM
panies. 1t would be saving to the
consumers, or the customers. The only
saving to the telephone companies
would be the cost of collecting the
tax and keeping books on it.
1t should also be pointed out that
telephone service is the only house
hold public utility so taxed.
In conclusion, since the use of the
telephone Is so universal, repeal of
the federal excise tax would have
about the same effect as a general
T..
nomlsts who advocate tax reductions
as stimulant to business activity
have said people in all income groups
would be affected. Repeal of the ex-
else tax would provide direct benefits
to most people here and everywhere
In the country. And many more
people would be more directly bene-
flted by repeal of the excise tax ON
communications than by a reduction
In income taxes. This is particularly
true of the millions now UNEMPLOYED.
They aren't earning anything to be
taxed on. But many are retaining
telephone service as a necessity.
1t would seem that one of the most
practiral ways of affording immedi-
ate relief to the average taxpayer is
to repeal the excise taxes on COM
munications services.
