Wednesday, March 13, 1968 GiraweEv:- New Eimam O f J is SamUorimm By FRANK BALLARD o The Daily Tar Heel Stajf Tuberculosis used to be the frustrating kind of disease you couldn't do much about except to experiment with climate or diet treatments and hope for the best. High altitudes, dry at mosphere, special foods and long periods of rest were all the doctor could offer.' And it usually wasn't enough. Three of the tuberculosis hospitals in the Nort Carolina sanatorium system were built while "rest care" was known as "the sovereign remedy." Gravely Sanatorium is the fourth, located near the UNC School of Medicine and the North Carolina Memorial Hospital. Constructed in 1951, it operates in the new image of sanatoriums where modern drug treatment has replaced the weather as deterrants to tuberculosis. "Three fairly new drugs can restore health and sharply limit the ' change of tuberculosis flaring up again," said Dr. Stuart Willis, superintendent and medical director of the state sanitorium system. Dr. Willis' office is in Grave ly Santorium, which was built when the "Three major breakthroughs," streptomycin, ioniazid and para -amino salicylic acid, were being in troduced. "Since they've come the use ' of long rests has been greatly reduced," he noted. "A national average as high as 95 per cent of . tuberculosis patients recover. This com pares with 25-30 per cent before drug treatments came on the scene. "The time spent in recovery has been shortened from well over a year to four or five months and sometimes even shorter periods than that." New drugs are still being sought. About six have been developed as secondary to the three "bre akthroughs," especially effective if the germ is resistent to the first drug. . But TB treatment remains a mammoth challenge. In 1967 ' about 3,150 persons entered the four state sanatoriums with known or suspect cases of the disease. The world picture is ap palling. "Tuberculosis is still the first cause of death in the world except in America. Great Britain and Canada," Dr. Willis reported. "It's estimated that in 1965 " over a half million people died from TB in India alone. Over the world about three and a half to four million died." Like the rest of the state sanatorium system, the Grave- DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. Chapeau 4. Resort 7. Bring: out 9. Door joint 12. Had supper 13: To 14. Muffles 15. Scoffs 16.

When a patient enters, the sanatorium makes sure that none of his family has con tracted his sickness. Also, if he is the breadwinner, steps are taken to present hardship for the family. Before he is discharged, the local agencies and sanatorium again work together to insure him a home, job or source of income and program of follow up clinic treatment and check ups, f - Gravely 5 Sanatorium also operates , "in very close cooperation" with the School of Medicine, Dr. Willis said; "The medical students get a chance to see chest diseases and learn about its diagnosis and treat ment. , Professors of medicine bring classes over here daily, most for observation and discussion in intensive, small group work." "Student nurses also have part of their training ' here," remarked Mrs. Loucelia Hogan, assistant director of Gravely's nursing service. "In a particular course studying contagious diseases they have instruction and lab work in the santorium." The N.C. Memorial Hospital assists Gravely, which has its own extensive laboratory and x-ray facilities. "We rely on them for surgery," explained Mrs. Hogan. Blood chemistry tests, TB culture growing and drug treatment selection are carried on in the sanatorium labs. Matching the progress against TB by drugs is the new approach to the special services provided by sanatoriums. Special services are part of the philosophy of care en dorsed by Mrs. Hogan: "You don't just treat the disease, you treat the whole person. Mrs. Helen Hyde, special services director at Gravely, listed some of its demands as "social work, occupational therapy, recreational pro grams, volunteer services, library and chaplin services and academic education for student patients. "For this we have one full time and one part-time employe plus volunteers that serve for all of the areas. We recruit volunteers to help with bingo parties, disc jockey pro grams, skits, mucial parties and presentations, picnics, movies and any other recrea tional or entertainment a volunteer group can give that's suitable for patients" Volunteers are always welcomed by the sanatorium. 17.

Besides performing helpful jobs such as shopping downtown for patients or help ing in a watermelon cutting, volunteers can give patients a new perspective on life by in teresting them in possible oc cupations. After visits' and programs by local garden club volunteers, two former patients went into the floral business. Raising the plants given by the volunteers fascinated them to the point of making a career out of their; new interest. ' ! Volunteers sometimes teach arts and crafts classes which offer copper tooling, enamel ing jewelry-making, wood burning, hooking rugs and ceramic work. "One lady made a living out of both interests she learned here. She operates a ceramic shop and is a florist too making the vases for her flowers," said Mrs. Hyde. Work on the sanatorium's in tercom radio station prompted 1 another patient to become a professional announcer after leaving Gravely. Two other men make and sell ceramics in their own shops, using skills learned in the arts and crafts program. A nutrition class and a secretarial course are offered at Gravely. "After the nutri tion class a patient will be able to feed her family better or work in a cafeteria." A business school in Durham gives credit for the part of their entrance exam passed as a result of the secretarial course. Correspondence courses are taken by patients when possi ble and' the Vocational R e h a bilitation Department sometimes pays the tuition for them.

Every. year, during that stretch from the middle of March to the end of April,, you're likely to seen an odd phenomenon in the .Old Book Corner. ' At that season, you'll notice strangers, leisurely old gents, intense and busy youngish cou ples, maybe a busty old biddy with a no-nonsense air. The unusual thing about them is that they'll -be going over every shelf, regardless of subject, book by book, carefully. If you look around, you'll notice that they are putting their selections in piles somewhere on the floor. They are snowbirds old book dealers who run shops in the South in winter, and in New England in summer. They have learned that prices in the Old Book Corner are low enough that they can buy here for re sale to their wealthy clientele. We pass the word along to you so that you can enjoy the fun and so that you'll know what happened to that old num ber you are dithering over if it softly and suddenly vanishes away. The Intimate Bookshop 119 East Franklin Street Open Evenings are about to be herded off to slavery and concubinage. In ef fect, the play is one of the most searing denunciations of man's hobby of making war in all of world literature. In the Playmakers pro duction the goddess, Athena, will be portrayed by Carol Hamilton of Chapel Hill, and Foster Fitz-Simmons, Associa tion Professor of Dramatic Art at UNC, will be seen as Poseidon, the God of the sea. Tickets for "The Trojan Women" can bepurchased at the Playmakers Business Of fice, 214 Abernethy Hall between 8:30 a.m. 'and 4:30 p.m. weekdays, and 8:30 till 12 noon on Saturday.
