Landrums Proposals On Federal Aid To Education Accepted By Committee The Education and Dabor Com mittee of the House of Representa tives has agreed to accept the re commendations of Ninth District Congressman Phil Dandrum in de leting one of the major federal control features of the proposed Federal Aid to Education Bill. For several years, Congressman Dandrum has advocated that all control of our public schools must remain with the States and local governments and any federal aid to education legislation should make this fact clear. All of the bills in the past have contained objectionable federal features. Representative Dandrum asked the Committee to delete one sec tion of the bill which would have required the States to spend ten per cent of the federal funds for special programs. Dandrum em phasized that this section was in direct conflict with the provision disclaiming federal control. Secre tary Ribicoff said that Dandrum would have the Administration’s support in seeking removal of this section and the Education Committee subsequently agreed to delete it from the bill. Landrum stated that there is without question, great need lor additional financial assistance for our public schools and that he feels that the bill now has a much better chance of passage with the acceptance of his proposal. If pass ed in its present form, the bill would, provide approximately $26 million to Georgia this year to be used for school construction and teacher’s salaries. NOTICE START SPRING WITH A SWING.

' • 1 >. . •> . •* " ,v Your Hospital - A Community Partnership A working partnership between hospital and community is necess if a community’s health is to be maintained at its highest level, Mr. Henry Thornton, administer of the Forsyth County Hospital, said today. Without the hospital, many in dividuals would not realize their “heritage of health,” while with out the community’s support and understanding, the hospital would be unable to meet the community’s health needs, he noted. “Your Hospital—A Community Partnership” is the theme of Na tional Hospital Week, May 7-13. This observance, first celebrated as National Hospital Day from 1921 to 1953, has since been ob served as National Hospital Week. It is sponsored by the American Hospital Association and is held each year during the week of Florence Nightmggales’s birthday (May 12). The hospital’s major responsibili ty in its community partnershp is patient care, Thornton said. “The magnitude of this service is illus trated by the fact that one of every eight persons will be ad mited to a hospital this year.” Patient care is constantly im NOTICE By order of the Mayor and Council it is declared unlawful and punishable by $5.00 fine to throw Beer Cans, Garbage or any Rubbish on the City Streets or side walks.

Two responsibilities of the hos pital, which in turn are compon ents of patent care, are education and training of personnel, and medical research. An additional responsibility of hospitals is pre ventive medcine. Hospitals assist in detecting and reporting communi cable disease, and offer educational programs in such areas as pre-nat al care, nutrition and mental hy giene. The community’s role in this partnership for health is equally vital, Mr. Thornton said, outlining five areas of community respon sibility. Its most direct tie is through the hospital’s governing board, composed of community leaders. They set the board policies for the hospital and have complete responsibility for everything that goes on in the hospital. The other four areas he noted were: —Community encouragement of young people to enter health car- Continued on Back Page County Population 15,000, Number 18 Poster And Composition Contest Winners The winners of the Composition Contest and Poster Contest were awarded ribbons and silver dollars last Tuesday morning by the Presi dent of the Cumming Garden Club Mrs. Vernon Martin.

Below is printed the First place Composition by Nancy Heard: April 14, 1961. I Can Help Improve My Community I think one of the best ways to to improve my community is to help keep it clean and beautiful. We must not throw out trash. We can keep a bag in the car for this I can keep the ground clean a round my school and church. At home I can keep the weeds out of our garden- I can keep the grass clipped around the mail box occasionally. I can keep the drive and walks swept clean. When I pass someone walking to church I can pick them up and carry them. This will help to make friendlier neighbors. If I know of someone who is sick in the community I can carry them a warm dish of food; I could also pick some flowers and take to them. I could help keep the trash off the grounds of my father’s place of business. I can tell my friends about my ideas of improving my community. Maybe they will want to help me!
