1132 deeds were recorded in 1949

deeds recorded varies little from
year to year. The trend toward the
use of Deeds of Trust is a different
story." 2266 Deeds of Trust went on

shown by the 596 miscellaneous real

Miscellaneous real property instru

Nurse's Home To Be Converted
To Hursing Home In Hear Future
The State Medical Care Commis
sion with approval of the Federal
Department of Health, Education,
and Welfare has approved the
County's application for converting
the Nurse's Home at Duplin General
Hospital to a N-:rsing Home.
The Nursing Home will provide
skilled nursing care at a hign level
of proficiency. Skilled nursing care
will be provided twenty-four hours
per day.
The control of the nursing home
will be under the Duplin General
Hospital. There will be a medical
committee made up of physicians
who will pass on the admission of
each patient.
Patients must be admitted on a
physician's order certifying that
skilled care is necessary and must
be passed on by the admission
committee. Each patient admitted
will have an active attending ph
ysician who is a member of the
Hospital Medical Staff.
In the event of a temporary set
back or decline in a patient's heal
th, the patient can be transferred to
the Hospital on regular basis un
til such time as he may be retrans
ferred back to the nursing home.
Some patients may spend only a
few days in the nursing home wnile
others may spend months and pos
sibly years, depending on iheir phy
sical condiiton and their require
ments for skilled nursing care. It is
not expected that a patient will be
admitted for the convenience or
Post Office
fices must be modennized or re
placed due to lack of space and ob
solescence." Adding further details concerning
postal service today, he noted that'

pieces of letter mail and parcel post

and an increase of more than 24

have a legitimate medical reason
for admission. No pure custodial
care is contemplated.
The present nurse's home will be
altered to provide an elrvator, an
administrative office, control area,
receration space, a ramp, floor
pantry and two nurses- stalions.
Toilet arrangements wi.! be pro
vided for both sexes. A nurses' call
system will be installed. It is anti
cipated that the existing building
may Tje converted easily with ,!
minimum of alteration into an ex
cellent 25-bed nursing home.
Occupancy of the Nurses' Home
has been extremely low since most
of the nurses commute from their
homes.
It is felt that a nursing home ope

selected will follow a routine work

at this meeting your manager or
favorite team manager really had
a time in choosing fourteen boys
to represent Warsaw. It was the
whole hearted wishes of the mana

that only fourteen boys as required
be choosen.
As I have previously said, local
league play during the regular sea
son is the backbone of Little Lea

the substance of Little League. It
brings a great deal of publicity to
Little League, so that more people
are familiar with it. This results in
the formation of additional Little

boys are given the opportunity to
play.
