Hunter, Harnett county health officer, and his nursing staff packed up bag and baggage and moved just arpund th£ comer. But in that shortjump, the county’s public health facilities came a long way. Miss Irene M. Lass is ter, super vising nurse at the new Harnett Health Center, commented on the change recently. ' got much more room here in the new center than we had in the old building,’’ she said. “Instead of one examination room now we have three. We can handle more patients.” As Miss Lassiter’s words sug gest, the change in services has been quanitative rather than quali tative. More patients can be diag nosed or treated in a day’s time. They get' the same thing; they just get it quicker. Miss Lassiter didn’t have the ex act figure right a hand, but 6he put the cost of the new one story health center at about $38,000. The Ihrick.. structure, situated to the right of the county courthouse, is of a long and rectangular design rooms, an X-ray room, and separ ate offices for the health officer, sanitary inspector, supervising nurse, an office for the center's three nurses, and one for the clerk. The center also has kitchen facili ties and several closets and toilets. Os the three examination rooms, one serves for the center’s general' clinical work, one for gynecology and obstetrics, and the third for pediatrio cases. The X-ray room, the center’s most expensive facili ty, makes possible the fluroscopic or chest clinic against tuberculosis. Besides the chest clinic, three (Continued on page atx) in Harnett county recorder’s court were: ( George H.

It may also wish that the vpters would drop dead because MGM now has the winsome Miss Kelly on the suspended list and she won’t be any easier to deal with if she walks off with a gold-plated award. The flaxen-haired star of “The Country Girl” disclosed yesterday that she had been notified by the studio that she was off the pay roll because she refused to show up for the start of shooting on “Jeremy Rodock,” in which she was to cq-star with Spencer Tracy. Not in That Picture, She Decrees “I’d love to go back to work,’’! Grace said yesterday, “but not in' that.” The studio sent her a suspension notice after, she refued to okay the final shooting script of the picture. A suspension means that she can’t work for any other company, even though five 'of her last seven, starring roles have been on outside lots. I MGM, which has her on a seven year contract, has used her in only two of its own productions since she first became a hot property.

C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 11, 1955 More Pressure Put On Ike To Run Again WASHINGTON —(lP)—The angry Republican explosion of protest against a political reference to Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower’s health just about added up today to some more pressure on the President to be a candidate next year for re-election. He doesn’t want to do it. But the heat is on. Not in years has the capital seen a political maneuver so quickly organized and effected as Thurs day’s on the subject of Mrs. Eisen hower’s health. Republicans individually and in groups mauled Democratic Nation al Committee Chairman Paul M. Butler for a news conference sug gestion that her health was one reason Mr. Eisenhower would hot run again. " Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. (R- Mass), former speaker and now Re publican House leader, opened the attack which continued through out Thursday. It became a bitter, personal assault on Butler, whose character and conduct were shred ded in angry debate. BUTLER’S THE TARGET "Loathsome; - irresponsible; scou ndrel; low animal in human form,” were some of the’ Republi can bouquets for Butler as mem bers addressed the House and Sen ate in angry terms. Astonishing to many in Wash ington was the scope and vigor of the-' Republican rebuke. It scarcely could/have been less than Inspired and by someone,, al though over a period of 20 years, members of Franklin D. Roose velt’s family were the subject of public and private comment con siderably less flattering than Butler’s comment on Mrs. Eisen hower’s health. The organized co-ordination of (Continued on Page Two) Celebration Plans Are Now Looking Up Prospects looked bright today that Harnett County may yet have a big Centennial celebration this Fall to mark the county’s 100th birthday. Leslie Campbell of Buie’s Creek, President of Campbell College and chairman of the Centennial com mittee, said this morning that “If recent reports reaching me are any index, there is a growing pub lic interest in the project.” Earlier responses from small number of prominent citizens, he added, seemed to indicate general indifference and lethargy to the proposed project. But this week he said promises of support “are mounting dally.” ‘They are adding new life to the committee's zeal to get this big undertaking off to a fast start.” The chairman expressed grate ful recognition for the fine c oper ation' and assistance given to the movement by Henderson Steele, Hoover Adams and John Thomas representing the county’s three newspapers. “Mr. Thomas,” Campbell added, who previously has participated in several similar observances before coming to the county has from his experience given the commit tee many valuable suggestions.” CHAMBER TO HELP A voluntary phone call from Emmett C.

A possible tragedy also was averted when 11 crewmembers parachuted to safety as their C-119 Flying boxcar crashed at Cullman, Ala. The worst air mishap was re vealed Thursday night when a ground search party reached an Air Force C-54 which crashed in jungle-covered Formosa mountains Sunday with 14 vacationing serv icemen aboard. The search party, which took four days to reach the wreckage, reported all 14 servicemen had been killed. Another mountain tragedy took five lives and possibly 10 in Utah. NO LIFE SIGHTED A search party was to set out today to reach the snow-bound mountains where an Air Force men and two civilians crashed Wednesday night. The plane’s wreckage was spot ted Thursday night. There were no signs of life. Meanwhile, the search continued for a Beechcraft civilian plane which disappeared in the same area with a wealthy Chicago busi nessman, his nine year old son, and three men aboard. Another Beechcraft crashed and burned in rugged mountain coun try near Dahionega, Ga., Thurs day, killing two young Ohio men, en route to Cuba. They were iden tified as Rogers A. Miller, 27, of Norwood and George Mentle, of Lebanon. At Colorado Springs, Colo., Thursday night at least one man was killed when an Air Force jet crashed into an open field shortly after takeoff. The victim’s name was withheld and it was not known immediately whether another „ Air Force man had been killed. BUSH PILOT SAFE A happier story was unfolding in the primitive Salmon River country of Idaho, where 52-year old bush pilot Bill Woods made a near-impossible forced landing on a patch of ice. The Utah search for the B-25 _was also hampered by snow and 'cold so intense that officials hesi tated to send into the area because “someone else might freeze to death.” The plane crashed near the top of 11,500 foot Mt. Timpanogos, 30 miles south of Salt Lake City. Aboard were Maj. Dan C. Haw ley, 35, Jackson, Mich.; 2nd Lt. Howard E. St. John, 25, Bemards ville, N. J.; Airman 2-c Doyle H. Dempsey, Hawkins, Tex,; and Donald R. Cubbage, 45, and Mau rice M. McNulty, both of Great Falls, Mont. Those aboard the missing Beech craft were Robert Willis, wealthy Chicago plywood broker; his son, Jacques; co-pilot George Dott, Barrington, 111.; Harry Knutson of San Francisco and Lewiston, Ida.: and a man identified as Harry Gindele of Pittsburgh, Pa.

Discoverer, Os Penicillin Dies LONDON—(IP)—Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, died today at the age of 73. He died in his London home, not far from St. Mary’s Hospital where he discovered penicillin by acci dent. It was one of the most mo mentous accdents in the history of medicine, and resulted in his winning a Nobel Prize and a knighthood. The beneficial accident came about this way: Fleming was puttering about in his small laboratory in 1942. A speck-sized fleck of wind-borne ipold was wafted through an open window. The speck settled in a saucer containing a germ culture. Flem ing absently took a look at it through a microscope. The germs in the saucer were dying. There the accident ended, and the genius took over. Working with the whisker-like vegetable molds such as housewives see on decayed fruit, Fleming made penicillin, the drug that almost miraculously pre vents multiplication of bacteria in the human body. MADE NO PROFIT But it was characteristic of the quiet and retiring scientist that he did not profit commercially from hs discovery. He claimed no money for its development and made none from its manufacture. Almost from the moment of pen icillin’s discovery, however, the fame of the soft-spoken Scot spread throughout the Fle (Con tinned On Page Two) Lacy Sloan on'May 25, 1961 The cdmplaint further alleges thatyMrs. Sloan committed adultry with “various other persons whose names are unknown to the plain tiff prior to and after May 26, 1954.
