Hospital Auxiliary Plans Anniversary Celebration On April 2nd, 1980, a group of interested citizens met in the fellow ship hall of the Kenansville United Methodist Church to discuss the possibility of organizing an auxiliary for Duplin General Hospital. As a result, a very active Duplin General Hospital, Inc. Auxiliary is celebrating its fourth anniversary this month. There were 12 prospective members in attendance at the initial meeting and of this number, nine joined. The Auxiliary has grown from the original nine to 41 members, of which 31 are active. The charter members who are still active include Mrs. Stuart Hall, Mrs. Louise Mitchell, Mrs. Hubert Pate, Mrs. H.D. Taylor and Mrs. E.C. Tyndall. The steering committee who laid the groundwork for the organization were Mrs. Larry Warrington, chair man; Mrs. H.C. Taylor, secretary treasurer, Mrs. E.C. Tyndall, Mrs. Louise Mitchell and Mrs. Dixon Hall. The first service to the hospital provided by the volunteers was that of delivering the mail to the patients. This was begun in early June of 1980. As the membership grew, the auxiliarv was able to provide another service- Visiting hours at that time were I p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Auxiliary provided a volunteer to sit at an information desk during visiting hours to give room numbers as well as to give other information to persons coming to the hospital. This service was started July, 1980. In November, 1980, the hospital changed visiting hours to 2 to 8 p.m. and implemented the pass system and asked the auxiliary to be responsible for this new system. The volunteers accepted this responsi bility and have faithfully served in this capacity since that time. Under the leadership of Mrs. E.C. Tyndall, chairman of the ways and means committee, the Auxiliary has had three or four benefits a year to raise money to purchase equipment for the hospital ? bake sales, card tournaments, fruit cake sales, and a ham raffle, all successful. At the information desk the volun teers sell candy and other items, which is not only a service to the hospital staff and visitors, but also a money-making project for the Auxiliary. Realizing there was not a florist in the immediate vicinity of the hospital, the auxiliary has silk flower arrangements and fresh flower ar rangements for sale also at the information desk. Serving the Auxiliary as presidents have been Mrs. Larry Warrington, Mrs. Bob Williams and Mrs. David English. The officers for the 1983-84 year are Mrs. Stuart Hall, president; Mrs. Rachel Blanchard, vice-president; Mrs. Bob Jones, secretary; and Mrs. Sheldon Swann, treasurer. The Auxiliary wishes to expand its services but is unable to do so without more members. Prospective members, both men and women, are REVIVAL Revival is scheduled for April 16-20 at Christian Chapel Free Will Baptist Church with services at 7:30 p.m. nightly.

All residents of Duplin County are urged to consider this need and to give a little time to such a worthwhile project. Richard Harrell, administrator of the hospital, issued the following statement: "On the fourth anniversary of The Duplin General Hospital Auxiliary, I, on behalf of management and staff, congratulate the members of the Auxiliary for four years of out standing and dedicated service to Duplin General Hospital. Patients, their families, and all personnel at the hospital have truly benefited from the many services provided by volunteer members of the Auxiliary. "During this four-tear period, the Auxiliary has contributed $3,244.91 for the purchase of needed medical equipment. In addition, the value of hours spent at Duplin. General in volunteer services approximates $42,606. "The Auxiliary has grown year by year and currently provides a visita tion and information service, mail delivery and flower service. As the Auxiliary grows, it continues to add programs and services. In the future, opportunites for volunteer service may include the operation of a gift shop, library service, patient trans portation service, etc. "The Duplin General Hospital Auxiliary is to be commended for a job well done! Richard E. Harrell, Hospital Administrator" Repair Crews Ready For Heavy Task Southeastern North Carolina building contractors and supply companies are gearing up for the massive rebuilding effort caused by recent tornadoes. Contractors from several areas say they have received hundreds of requests for roof repairs. Most building supply firms have ordered extra materials, especially shingles, plywood, tar paper and plastic. Although business was booming at many supply companies from Tabor City to Mount Olive, company owners expect business to explode as more insurance companies pay claims and the federal government begins awarding loans and grants. "It's just unreal," said Godwin Construction Co. secretary Emma Stevens when asked about roofing orders. She said the Mount Olive firm had about 50 roofing contracts, while "one every six months is about average." "I've got 14 contracts for new roofs," said Melvin Andrews, owner of Andrews Professional Home Re pairs in Mount Olive. He already had a crew atop Jesse Butter's house at 718 Oliver St. in Mount Olive at 10 a.m. Monday. "People are trying to dry in the ones that are salvageable," Andrews said. "The work is really going to start when people start getting insu rance checks." Damage from the tornadoes has been estimated at $104.4 million in North Carolina. In nearby counties, the damage estimates are: Columbus, $903,700; Bladen, $1,982,200; Duplin, $3,500,000; and Sampson, $16,406,986, according to state officials. "We're going to have to get on the phone and start getting some roofing supplies coming this way," said Kim Caison of Caison's Inc., a building supply firm in Clinton. He didn't have much time to talk. "We've got another couple days' supplies of roofing, but that's all, especially with the way people are buying. Look, I'm kind of busy.. Number One Builders Supply Inc. in Mount Olive sold more than 100,000 square feet of plastic Friday and Saturday as homeowners tried to cover their shattered roofs before rains hit the area. "We've already got a lot of stuff ordered that's going to be hard to get, it looks like," said James Jones at the Mount Olive company. "We've got a good stock, but don't know if it'll hold up. The shingles are going fast. Since that storm we've sold 300 squares or better. It takes 16 to 20 squares.for a roof." A square of shingles covers 200 square feet. Southern Supply Co. in Clinton had sold almost all its roofing tin by 4 p.m. Monday. "I'm working on a big order for that now," said store employee Edwin Butler. The destruction of Boren Brick Co., a mile west of Roseboro, cut into the construction of El Bethel Holiness Church in Goldsboro, said Larry Jinnette, manager of W.P. Rose Supply Co. in Goldsboro. He said half the bricks ordered by the church had been delivered when the tornado smashed the brick plant. Other companies cannot match the bricks' color, he said. Lowe's in Goldsboro had sold about $50,000 worth of framing for agricultural buildings since Friday, according to manager John Sugg. Company employees delivered several loads of plywood, shingles and plastic.
