St. Luke's Hospital will con tract with Tyler & Co. of Atlanta to recruit an in-hospital internist and a general surgeon at a cost of $21,000 per physi cian. If the hospital's trustees and administration tried to recruit these much needed physicians themselves, it could take two to three years, pointed out trustee chairman Joe Claud. Tyler & Co. can find them in 6-10 months, he said. The motion was recom mended by the newly formed Medical Staff Support Com mittee whose members inter viewed all but two of the exist ing medical staff and found unanimous support for such recruitment, said Claud "I've never seen the medical staff so unified on any one issue as this," Claud said of the need for the in-hospital internist and general surgeon.

Lindsey on Old Hwy. 19 in Lynn was destroyed by fife Thursday afternoon. Sheriff Boyce Carswell said Lindsey had been away and when he returned, he found the house in flames. Columbus fire chief Geoff Tennant said Lindsey had to walk "a considerable distance" before he could get to a phone to call for help at 3:36 Thurs day afternoon. When the Columbus Fire Department arrived, backed up by the Tryon Fire Department, Tennant said the roof of the house had already caved in. "I knew when we rolled in that we could only concentrate on protecting the surrounding area," Tennant said. "When the roof is caved in before you even get there, there is not much you can do." Due to the setting, Tennant said the firemen had to stop some distance from the house. They ran 200 to 300 feet of hose, then hooked on another 400-foot hose, Tennant said. Tennant said there were two pumper trucks responding, two tanker trucks and about 20 firefighters. They were on the site about three hours, he said. Firefighters were called back to the house Friday morning when someone noticed a tree still smoldering nearby. In other fire news, the Mill Spring Fire Department responded Thursday to a woods fire off Toney Road.
