staff their own hospitals, and lay
nurses who are serving aroimd
the'world,
- Many' of the nursing Sisters are
given further education, up to
and including master’s degrees,
for training in hospital special
ties. :
The Order is also starting con
struction of a building for a
girls’ high school founded two
years ago at Maryville.
Until this week, St. Joseph’s
was the only institution operated
by the Order which it did not
own. When the former Pine
Ne-edles Hotel was purchased by
Bishop Waters in behalf of the
Diocese, he won the interest of
the nursing Order in the new
project, and • eight Sisters were
here for the opening. Of the orig
inal group, two still remain, one
of them, Sister M. Virginia, now
the hospital administrator.
The original purchase was
made for $406,000, which, with
some 100 acres of land' containing
the Pine Needles golf course
(which was later sold), was con
sidered a bargain price for the
five-story brick building in Knoll-
wood. However, it meant assum
ing a large mortgage. A large
part of the mortgage has since
been paid off, and the Sisters have
taken over the remaining debt.
Through business administration
and the Sisters’ work, with the
gifts and efforts of the Guild of
St. Joseph of the Pines (a wo
man’s auxiliary) and other
friends, many improvements have
been made in the building, equip
ment and services, so that the
hospital stands today as a
throughly modem and fully ac
credited institution..
St. Joseph’s last year gave 21
per cent of its patients days to
the indigent, as reported by the
Duke Hospital Foundation.
Its nursing staff is composed of
eight Sisters, all registered nurses,
Several trained in specialities,
supplemented by nearly 5() em
ployees—registered nurses, licens
ed practical nurses, nurse aides
and orderlies and office staff.
The transfer of the property
was celebrated with a dinner at
the hospital Tuesday night, at
tended by Bishop Waters, Mother
M. Vincentia and the Sisters, also
members of the board of direc
tors, advisory council, m^ical
staff, the Guild and other friends
of/the .hospital.
Mrs. Audrey K. Kennedy, foun
der and president of the Guild,
presided, with H. H. Pethick, a
member of the advisory council,
serving as master of ceremonies.
The program included a number
of brief, informal speeches with
tributes to those who had helped
along the way.
Said Mayor John S. Buggies,
a director from the opening of
the hospital, ‘The most vital part
of any community is its hospital.
I have been privileged to know
St. Joseph’s intimately, and I am
proud to welcome it as part of
our community. It has met our
needs well from the beginning,
and now, having reached maturi
ty, will be in a position to se^e
us in ways even more beneficial.
“It would be difficult to over
state how much St. Joseph’s
means to our entire community,”
said the mayor.

"HOMEWOOD"
Never say die!
The more-than-four-hun-
dred who braved rain, thun
der and lightning to take the
Garden Club tour Wednesday
is clear evidence that you
can't keep a good gardener
down.
In line with this spirit, Mr.
and Mrs. Denison King Bui-
lens are trying to shake up
for the uncooperative ele
ments that day by opening
their beautiful gardens at
"Homewood." in Knollwood,
to the public, beginning to
day and over the weekend.

The Pinehurst Playhouse this
week offers its top drawing card,
Margaret Truman, with star bil
ling in “Time of the Cuckoo,” and
audiences in the tiny jewelbox
of a theatre are liking her a lot.
On opening night (Tuesday) she
won a real ovation, and she had
earned it, not by virtue of a
White House past but by her nat
ural charm, wit and good per
formance in the Arthur Laurents
comedy-drama.
As Leona Samish, love-starved
spinster secretary seeking ro
mance on a summer trip to
Venice, she is perfectly at home
on the stage, mocking her own
loneliness, or reacting violently
and poignantly to her final humi
liation.
Her interpretation is far dif
ferent from the wispy wistfulness
of Katharine Hepburn in the film
version, “Summertime.” Miss
Truman’s Leona Samish is a life-
of-the-pafty type, direct, forth
right and giving an impression of
great physical vitality. Though
her need for love is great, she is
not a pathetic creature. It is
thereby all the more shocking
when her storybook fling at love
with an Italian gentleman “with
isilver gray hair,” turns out to be
the most sordid’ and sorry kind
of incident, leaving, Leona far
more lonely than before.
’The play is in essence a subtle
commentary on different atti
tudes toward love and passion—
that of the idfealistic and trusting
American woman bid enough to
know better; the realistic and self-
serving European; and uninhibit
ed ways of a pair of primitive
young expatriates, sparking
Leona’ excursion into sentimen
tality.
In a demanding role Miss 'Truman
can toss off a comedy line like
the trouper she is—or, when her
hurt goes deep, lash out in a way
to make the audience quiver.
A colorful and efficient cast
provides the human framework
for Leona’s hope and heartbreak,
against the appropriate setting of
a picturesque but somehow taw
dry inn courtyard. Ian Caden-
head, an import from Broadway’s
theatre and television world, as
the Italian lover is modest, yet
somehow princely, winning his
own mead of bitter sympathy.
Gerre Overbrook and Colgate
Salsbury as the uninhibited ex
patriate pair, and Georgia Ben
nett and Bruce HaU as an
American tourist couple (comic
version), live up to past fine per
formances which have already
won them a Sandhills following.
Adding color are Henry Strozier
as Cadenhead’s son; Susan Willis
as Signora Fioria, keeper of the
inn, who has yet another approach
to love; and a mite named Robby
Reed, a' veteran actor at about
the age of eight, as a rumble
street-urchin.
“Time of the Cuckoo,” eighth in
the Playhouse series, runs through
Sunday night—curtain at 8:30 p.
m., Saturday matinee at 2. Just
two'more plays) remain, starting
on successive Tuesday nights—
next tveek, Eleanor Wilson in
“Five-Finger Exercise,” and last,
the bright and racy “Under the
Yum-Yum Tree.”

and all seemed delighted with
the enthusiasm they heard ex
