deems the recent death of Les
lie Joseph Moore, on July 15,
1961, an irreparable loss no'
only to Newton County as a
citizen, but especially to New
ton County Hospital Authority;
and,
INASMUCH as Mr. Moore
had rendered service far be
yond the call of duty, as chair
man of the Newton County

time of its inception in 1952,
until his death, and was a mo
tivating force in the establish
ment of Newton County Hos

ever to him, of paramount con

duties of his office as chair
man; and,
WHEREAS, he kept in close
personal contact with the Hos
pital, its administration, pro
gress and development, with
always one, and often as many
as four tours of inspection,
weekly; and,
WHEREAS, the Authority
sincerely believes that much of
the success and national
recognition accorded Newton

by Mr. Moore’s constant vigi
lance and efforts toward im
provement;
We hereby resolve that our
deep regret and feeling of per
sonal loss in his passing, be
made a matter of permanent
record in the minutes of the
July 25, 1961 meeting of the
Hospital Authority: that our
sincere sympathy' be express

copies of this resolution be
mailed to his wife and his
daughters, Mrs. Richard Budd.

which can be seen nightly, except Mondays, through September 3, are projects of the Cher
