DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA
Gifts Galore!
The Pink Smoek, the Auxiliary’s new gift shop, is open for
business! Located on the first floor of the new Main Entrance
Building, the gift shop faces the waiting
room area.
Auxiliary volunteers went to A"ew York on
two buying trips to select items for the shop.
They sought the luuisual, the unique and the
inexpensive. (And they are keeping their
sources a secret!) Items for sale include baby
gifts, stationery and cards, children’s toj’s and
books, toiletries, jewelry, small accessories,
ceramics, copi^er enamelling, and flowers on order.
All are invited to come browse and buy!
[Note: The Pink Smock gift shop sign (above) was designed by
Elon II. Clark with Bob L. Blake, both of the Medical Art Sec
tion of the Division of ATidiovisual Education.]

REHAB I TO CEMENT RELATIONS WITH BAKER HOUSE
When the new tliree-story Rehabilitation Facility (I’hase (1) is finished next
fall, over 1,000 cubic yards of cement will have travelled in the “bucket”
shown above. For those who had a chance to do some “sidewalk superintending”
during the early stages of construction, the above scene is a familiar one.
Soon after this picture was taken, the immense bucket was “hoisted” to the
top floor of the building, and was really something to see “in flight.” Filled,
the bucket weighs over 3,000 pounds, and when it swings up with only a crane
and an operator on the other end of it, it surely does strike (pardon) a most
impressive pose!
The new Rehab Facility will connect to Baker House, and at last Baker
House residents (not to mention Housekeeping employees) will have an elevator
at their disposal! The elevator will be located in the Rehab Facility, but it will
serve both buildings.
