Hospice Program For Pitt Co.
GREENVILLE The
Department of Surgery at
the East Carolina
University School of
Medicine is joining with
Eastern Carolina Home
Health, Inc., a private, non
profit organization that
provides home-based
nursing and rehabilitation
care, to start a home-based
hospice program in Pitt
County.
The program, described
by medical director Walter
Paries as a “hospice without
walls,” will begin offering a
variety of support to
terminally ill patients in
early October.
“We are recruiting a
volunteer director who will
train volunteers to help
patients with advanced
cancer and their families,”
Pories said. Hospice
volunteers will do many
tasks, including shopping,
homemaking, cooking and
counseling. They also will
help coordinate ministerial
support, maintain
equipment and dressing
supplies, and, when
necessary, tutor patients
and their children.
Pories, chairman of
surgery at the School of
Medicine, said the Pitt
County hospice will differ
from traditional hospices in
urban areas. According to
Pories, the hospice program
emphasizes care in the

physicians to provide

terminally ill patients.
Traditionally, physicians
frequently refer their
patients to the hospice
medical director for care.
“The physicians in Pitt
County are very interested
in continuing their care
throughout the entire
illness,” Pories said. “Our
hospice encourages this
practice because it

Safety Week
Observed
Continued From Page 1-B
In 1980-81 across the state,
there were two fatalities
involving school buses, one
a student and one an
occupant in another vehicle.
Os the five incidents in
which pupils were either
struck by a school bus (4) or
a passenger car (1), two
students were crossing the
road, one was getting on or
off the bus, one was playing
in the road and one was
listed as other.
Edenton-Chowan Schools
is proud of its no accident
record for 1980-81 and
relatively low incidence of
accidents in previous years.
(Only one in 1979-80). To
recognize its drivers, a Bus
Driver Banquet is held each
May. Also in May drivers
participate in a regional Bus
Road-e-o. During the
banquet, a “Driver of the
Year” is named and all
drivers not having an
accident of any kind for one
and two years receive
special recognition.
The Edenton-Chowan
School System thanks and
accredits the community for
its conscious awareness of
buses and students, which
contribute greatly to the
record enjoyed.

Women Marines Recall Edenton’s Past
Twenty-two women
Marines who were stationed
at Edenton Marine Corps
Air Station during the World
War II years of 1943-45
returned “home” last
weekend for a convention 36
years after their tours of
duty at the old air base on
Albemarle Sound.
They were members of a

Chapter of the National
Women Marines As
sociation, a group of 2,500
present and former Marines
who have served in the
Corps and which now has 64
chapters throughout the 50
states.
The Edenton Chapter,
however, is the first unit
formed strictly because of a
duty base of former WRs.
“We were a small
contingent of WRs here
during those war years,”
said Peggy Fish of Hickory,
N.C., chapter president.
Although she is a North
Carolina resident, all but
one of the WRs attending
were from other states from
Maine to Nevada to
Louisiana.
“We remember ‘our’
Edenton with happy
memories, particularly
because everyone in this
special town was always as
nice and helpful as could be
to young strangers away
from home doing their part
to help end a war,” Mrs.
Fish recalled.

charges are $4.80 less than

Our current rates are

the status of each

Vepco to place its request
into effect August 1, subject

The women arrived by

passenger van whose driver
collected various airline
arrivals at Norfolk Airport,
and even by private plane
when former WR Helen
Reilly flew in from New

base landing strip. Showing
the traditional Edenton
friendliness, another pilot
arrival and his wife, Dr.
Jack and Janice Thornton,
brought the WR into town to
the reunion site at the Coach
