Weyerhaeuser Highlights
A brand new boiler
callable of using a wide
range of fuels has been
started, up and made an
integral part of the fiber
operations at Plymouth. The
new boiler is capable of
using oil, coal, wood waste
anu in the future, peat as
fuel, according to project
manager, Britt Smith.
The No. 2 Hog Fuel boiler
was brought on line on
August 11, at approximately
4:30 P.M. Work on the
important new boiler had
begun in October of 1980,
according to Smith, who
said, “this new boiler will
allow us to use internally
generated wood waste as
fuel and in the future, we
have the potential to use
peat which is abundant of
this area of the state”. .
Fiber mill manager, Paul
Schmitt said, “we expect
the flexibility in fuel use
made possible by this new
boiler to result in an ap
preciable reduction in fuel
costs. This can be a great
help in making our mill
more competitive”.
In congratulating Brett
Smith, his staff, and
everyone associated with
the project, Schmitt said,
“this is a well run and well
managed project brought to
completion through a great
team effort”.
Several employees from
the New Bern area have just
completed two eight-hour

sessions included basic CPR

program, conducted at New
Bern Pulp, was coordinated

Ultrasound
Funds which were
recently secured through
the Chowan County Medical
Development Authority
have been utilized to acquire
Ultrasound equipment for
Chowan Hospital.
Ultrasound is a safe,
diagnostic piece of equip
ment that does not involve
the use of x-rays. It is
capable of revealing in
ternal structures and details
not evident in certain
radiographic images. Since
no radiation is involved, it
can be safely used during
pregnancy to monitor the
condition of the baby and
mother-to-be. It can identify
and locate blood clots and
abnormal growths, and can
detect diseased tissue in
some organs of the body.
The actual diagnostic
procedure of Ultrasound
consists of a hand-held
transducer, which
resembles a microphone,
being placed against the
body and slowly being
passed over the area being
examined. Sound waves
pass through the skin, strike
the various organs, and send
echoes back to the trans
ducer, which changes the
sound waves into electrical
energy and makes an image
on a TV screen. This image
gives a cross section of the
organ being studied.
Photographs of the images
are taken so as to have a
permanent record for
further study and in
terpretation. No pain is
involved as the sound wave
frequency being used is too
high to be felt.
Ultrasound is an ac
cepted, necessary, and
essential part of modern
medicine. Prior to Chowan
Hospital beginning this
service, patients had to
experience the inconvience
and expense of traveling to
other hospitals. Often there
were delays in scheduling
and in getting results back
to the physician.
A study was undertaken
by Chowan Hospital of the
number of patients having
to leave the community for
Ultrasound tests. The study
was affirmative that the
community could support
the purchase of the equip
ment. The hospital is now
proud to be able to offer this
improved method of
diagnostic examination to
the public it serves.
