Director of National Fund
Raising Promotions for the

to do so.
Bird Club Hears
Talk On Herbs
Ruth Wrensch, a professional
botanist and authority on herbs,
spoke at the February meeting of
the Tryon Bird and Nature Club
last Thursday on “The Itinerant
Herb.” Her talk was illustrated
by slide photographs taken by her
husband, Bernard Wrensch, and
by their wide collection of
specimen plants displayed at the
meeting.
Mrs. Wrensch defined “herbs”
broadly as plants having useful'
qualities for flavoring and
garnishing and for aromatic and
pharmaceutical purposed. Wild
herbs have been discovered in
their natural habitats in widely
separated areas of the world,
Mrs. Wrensch explained, and
early became “itinerant” be
cause man found them so useful
that he has repeatedly taken
them with him in his migrations
and military campaigns.
Herbs appear in early Vedic
literature, Mrs. Wrensch noted,
and also in the Old Testament
where, however, they were often
misnamed by the Greek transla
tors. Alexander’s army and,
later, the Roman legions were
instrumental in spreading herbs
of Asiatic and Mediterranean
origin into remote areas of their
empires. Mrs. Wrensch also
traced a number of these
European herbs, including some
of Argentine origin from Spain, to
American colonial gardens
where they had been introduced
by early American settlers.
Many of the colored slides
illustrating the talk were filmed
during an exploratory trip in
southern Spain which the
Wrensches took expressly to
continue their studies of herbs.
They chose Spain because it was
rich in specimens of Mediterran
ean origin but also in herbs from
South and Central America
introduced in Spain in the 16th
and 17th centuries.
Col. Norme Frost, former
president of the Carolina Bird
Club, also spoke of the spring
meeting of the Club to be held in
Boone, N. C. from May 9 to 11, to
which members are invited. —

Spika Asked
To Stay On
Trustees at St. Luke’s board
meeting voted aye to send the
Executive (Search) Committee
to ask President Howard J. Spika
to serve a minimum of two more
years as administrator, with
Lawrence Hendra and Ralph
Areldge voting naye, and Jay
Foster abstaining.
Bennett Hinsdale, who also
abstained, said he just didn’t like
to put pressure on Mr. Spika who
has been really planning to
retire.
Response was requested within
a week, as the Search Committee
is currently placing ads in
professional journals seeking
applicants. As yet, no likely
prospects have turned up,
according to Chairman 0. 0.
Paulsell.
Dr. William Bosien, candidate
for county commissioner, is
chairman of St. Luke’s Operation
Outreach. He requested the
trustees to say whether they want
him to resign Outreach in view of
his political effort.
Trustees unanimously asked
him to continue his Outreach job.
Clubs and groups continue to
utilize this program to provide
doctors for their meeting
programs, (call Dr. Bosien or
Genelle Hooker at St. Luke’s, if
you want to participate.)
January was a good month
financially, with 1417 patient
days, almost the highest in a
year. February has been slow so
far. The economy and preventive
medicine were suggested as
Tryon Daily Bulletin, Tues., Feb. 26, 1980
possibilities, but nobody really
knows. Meanwhile, full staffing
of the hospital 24 hours a day
must continue. «
Cash flow has been improved
with installation of a cathode ray
tube with direct connection to
Blue Cross-Blue Shield in
Durham, N. C. which also
processes Medicare. The pat
ients’numbers go on the tube,
and payment reaches St. Luke’s
in less than a week instead of 15 to
30 days.
Trustees voted for a profes
sional study about the need,
feasibility and cost of ultrasound,
and adjunct to X-ray, at St.
Luke’s. — Reporter
