2. 9 Advisory board close-up An opportunity to work together By Ina Fried (This article is the second in a series on the Durham Advisory Board to the hospital and its individual members.) Duke and Durham have too much at stake not to work together, believes William L. Burns Jr./a member of the Durham Advisory Board to Duke Hospital. Burns, the president of Central Carolina Bank and Trust Co., said, "If we work together, we can make the university greater and improve the quality of living in this town." He sees the advisory board as a communications channel between the community and the hospital. "It's a great opportunity," he said, "for people like myself to see what these professional people are doing. It's a very revealing and stimulating experience from my standpoint." DUKE DURHAM WILLIAM L. BURNS JR. For better cardiac child care Nurses from across the state who care for children with cardiac disease will gather Tuesday for a workshop sponsored by the hospital and coordinated by Nursing Inservice Education. "Care of the Cardiac Child: In the Hospital and in the Community" will be held at the Washington Duke Motor Lodge, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. The workshop will deal with identifying and solving problems of the child and his or her family related to in- hospital and post-hospital care. There also will be emphasis on nursing care of specific cardiac conditions, diagnostic techniques and disease. Serving on the workshop faculty will be Dr. Page A.W. Anderson, associate professor of pediatrics; Dr. Brenda Armstrong, fellow in New York trust grants $30,000 to nursing school The School of Nursing has received a $30,000 grant from the Helene Fuld Health Trust of New York City. In announcing the grant. Dr. Ruby L. Wilson, dean, said the funds would be used to purchase needed audiovisual equipment, films, audio tapes and library books for nursing students. The Helene Fuld Health Trust is an outgrowth of a foundation established in 1935 by the late Dr. Leonhard Felix Fuld and his sister, the late Florentina M. Fuld, in memory of their mother. The trust supports a broad range of programs and scholarships at more than 50 nursing schools in this country and abroad.

Members of the board, in turn, have helped with the Children's Classic annual golf tournament, he said. They also have worked with the medical center administration in presenting to the City Council the needs of the medical center for widening Erwin Road and improving the traffic pattern. A native of Greensboro, Burns was a football season ticket holder "long before" he joined CCB and moved to Durham in 1960. But, he said, he had not had any close ties to the university. He believes the medical center's national and international reputation is "justly deserved." Active in community service. Burns is a director of the Durham Chamber of Commerce and past president of the Durham Merchants Association, the United Fund and the Rotary Club. He is second vice president of the N.C. Bankers Association and will assume the presidency in 1^79. He is a graduate of N.C. State University, of the Stonier Graduate School of Banking at Rutgers University and of the executive program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is married and the father of three sons. Spirited forestry sale beginning On tour today Members of health occupations class from Pembroke Senior High School and their teacher, Miriam B. Edwards, RN, are touring the medical center today. The Christmas spirit has arrived in the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. The school's Forestry and Environmen tal Management (FOREM) Club will hold its annual Christmas Tree Sale beginning tomorrow. Freshly cut fraser fir and white pine trees from western North Carolina, pine boughs, handmade evergreen wreaths. SEE VALL IN THE COUBfrVARD CAFETERIA t! 7 WEDNESEM/, V30-4:30rm. and IO:00(>M.-AAIDNIGHT(NiGHrshift) holly and mistletoe will be available — while the supply lasts. The sale is taking place in the parking lot immediately behind the Biological Sciences Building on Science Drive. Hours are 3-9 p.m., Mon.-Fri., and 10 a.m.-6 p.m.. Sat.-Sun. FOREM Club members will trim and shape trees to buyers' specifications, and can supply information about storage and care of the trees. "Although more trees have been obtained this year, past experience indicates they will sell out in less than two weeks," Steve Hale, FOREM Club vice president said. "So we urge medical center personnel to come and choose early while the selection is best," he said. He noted that an early purchase can be kept fresh by leaving it outside in a tub of water in a cool, well-sanded spot and misting it occasionally until trimming time. Show your colors If you think the posters announcing the Dec. 14 Christmas party look like someone forget to color them, you are partially correct. They were designed for full color, but no one has been forgetful. It's just that the final touches have been left to "artists" throughout the medical center. Extra copies of the poster are available in the Environmental Services office, 026 (basement, yellow zone). Individuals and groups are encouraged to color their own posters and return them to Environmental Services by Dec. 12 for posting at the Christmas party and judging by the Christmas party planning committee. Artists creating the best posters will be recognized in the holiday issue of Heartbeat, Dec. 28, and at the Christmas party.
