I REMEMBER
■Y THE OLD TIMER
IW
.«
From Mrs. Harvey Hubbard,
Pittsboro, Mississippi: Although I
am not as old as some that write
about their grandparents, I well
remember my grandfather. I have
sat as a child and heard him tell
of his experiences during the
Civil War.
Favorite stories include making
camp at CoffeeviUe, Leflore, and
about hit being in the battle at
Ft Pemberton, just west of
Greenwood, Miss., when the Star
of the West waa sunk to stop the
Northern troops from coming
down the Tallahatchie River on
their way to Vicksburg.
My fondest memory of my
grand daddy, was seeing him with
his flowing white beard, almost to
his belt line, covered with meal
dust from the grist mill he oper-
ated at Kosciusko. Also, after his
retirement, he loved to sit out
under the shade tree in the back
yard and whittle canes with his
pocket knife. He had carried the
knife through the Civil War. Just
before his death, in 1931, he gave
the knife to me and I still have it.

crunchy combination.

As the nation continues to de-
bate the pros and cons of pro-
posed health delivery systems,
one health care effort which has
withstood the test of time pre-
pares to observe i!s 10th anni-
versary.
For tne past c.u.utei century,
the phrase “Hill-Burton” has
been part of the language of the
hospital world and the pu/blic-at-
large.
“In Texas, Hill-Burton has
meant the construction of over
$739 million in hospitals and oth-
er health care facilities since
1946,” said Dr. James E. Peavy,
Texas Commissioner of Health.
Many of these facilities would
probably not have been con-
structed without the aid provid-
ed by the Hill-Burton program.
The joint federal-state program
has aided 539 projects in Texas.
It provided 31,439 inpatient beds
in hospitals and nursing homes
and added 113 other types of
health facilities.
The Hill-Burton Program was
initiated when President Truman
signed the Hospital Survey and
Construction Act on August 13,
1946. The legislation authorized
federal grants to assist states and
communities in constructing
needed hospitals and public
health centers to furnish ade-
quate care to all their people.
On August 13 of this year, the
Hill-Burton Program was a
quarter-century old. Health of-
ficials in Texas and across the
nation plan to commemorate the
silver anniversary of this pro-
gram.
“No other program,” Dr.
Peavy said, “has had greater im-
pact on the availability of health
care services.”
While the construction of new
facilities has been extremely im-
portant, state health authorities
feel that efforts to upgrade the
health facilities in the state have
been ef major concern. Of the
530 projects undertaken in Texas
since 1947, funds for 176 have
been for construction of new pro-
jects while 354, or two-thirds *f
all projects undertaken, have
been for upgrading existing fa-
cilities.
The Hill-Burton legislation de-
veloped a new concept in govern-
mental relationships in the
health care field. It provided a
federal-state partnership in ad-
ministration. State Hill-Burton
agencies were established to ad-
minister the program in each
state and to advise the U. S. Pub-
lic Health Service of their
changing needs. The State
Health Department was given
this responsibility in Texas.

Get an electric range
and retire
On an electric range the cooking coils are self-
cleaning. They stay soil-free and cook so cleanly
your utensils won’t have a chance to get "black
bottom”. No flame, no smoke to discolor the glow
of copper or dull the sparkle of aluminum or
stainless steel. So instead of having to scour, retire
to the patio with a good book. A self-cleaning oven
lets you retire from oven-scrubbing, too. See the
many other time-and-effort savers on electric
ranges at your appliance dealers... and tell him
