Negro Unit in Orthopaedic Hospital

Gastonia, N.C., March 22 (AP)—The negro unit of the State Orthopaedic Hospital here will be dedicated on March 24, it has been announced by the trustees.

The dedication service was to have been held on March 17th, but was postponed until the later date, on account of the inability of Governor McLean to be present at the services on the earlier date. At the later date, Governor McLean, who is a member of the board of trustees of the institution, will be present, according to R.B. Babington, president of the hospital.
