Health Center Brochure Plan By Beckley Leaders
Beckley citizens at the Beckley Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce group decided to submit a brochure to State Health Director N. H. Dyer detailing the regional health center plan under the Appalachian Program. Leslie C. Gates is to prepare the brochure at a budget not to exceed 1500 dollars, using local help and a Washington firm for writing, printed by Gates Engineering on a non profit basis. Contributions of 100 dollars were pledged by E. M. Payne Charles Lewis and Alan Susman. The group will meet with Dyer to determine brochure content and aims to prove Beckley has the suitable facilities for the center as Princeton also pursues the project. County plans include Pinecrest Sanitarium site options at 500 per acre and 25 acres each at Fitzpatrick Park Little Beaver Park Raleigh County Memorial Airport and Paint Creek, with Pinecrest favored. Further discussions to follow. The U S Patent Office issued its three millionth patent in September 1961.
