National Story On Care Center Baptist Hospital’s Progressive Care Center, which has received widespread notice in hospital magazines and in newspapers, is the subject of a three-page pic ture story in the February 13 is sue of Look Magazine, which went on sale Tuesday (Jan. 30). Look Writer Jack Star and Photographer James H. Karales spent two days at the Center gathering material for the story. They used a patient. Dr. Graham Harden of Burlington, who was staying at the center for a few days while undergoing tests and diagnosis, to illustrate the daily activities of the average patient. Dr. Harden is a retired physician. His wife was a. surgical patient in the hospital at the same time. Look's article is entitled “Hos pital Hotel.” and points out that although about a fifth of all hos pital patients do not require the elaborate and expensive care pro V YOU SOUND LIKE A TV COMMERCIAL !

T/M£S vided for bed patients, they have to pay for it anyway. “These," the article goes on, “are the con valescents approaching the end of a long hospital stay or new pa tients admitted for a series of tests or minor medical treatment I They can dress themselves, walk around, and take their own medi cine. “Until recently, all of our hos pitals have treated such patients as though they were helpless. But in the past decade, more than a score of hospitals have begun ; seeking ways to give them a break. The most promising of : these experiments is under way at North Carolina Baptist hos pital . . Ever since the Progressive Care Center opened last March 15 it has attracted interest from the medical and hospital professions. Three hospital magazines have written articles on it, paying con siderable attention to the techni cal side of operations. Hospitals and Foundations also have been interacted and have sent officials to Winston-Salem to look over its facilities and discuss its opera tions. Some months ago it was stu died by the Memorial Sloan-Ket tering Cancer Center of New York. The House Committee on Veterans Affairs sent its counsel. Edwin B. Patterson, here to make a detailed study and to report to the Committee on possibilities of erecting such facilities at Vete rans Administration hospitals. Tylon T.

Coleman Tells Boating Rules Before you take your boat out for a spin on North Carolina wa ters, be sure that everything I aboard, inducting- the certificate | of registration, is in proper legal ; order. J- H. Coleman, wildlife pro tector in Columbus County, warn ed that all Tarheel boatowners should keep abreast of state and federal boating laws. Coleman said that carbon te trachloride fire extinguishers and others of the toxic vaporizing liquid type such as chlorobromo | methane are no longer approvable equipment as of January 1, 1962. The U. S. Coast Guard withdrew approval of this equipment ef fective December 6, 1958, but al lowed use of these extinguishers until January 1 of this year in order that boatmen could replace them with approved foam, car bon dioxide or dry chemical types. Coleman also reminded boat owners that only Coast Guard ap j provable lifesaving devices would be considered as legal equipment, i Life-saving equipment that cannot be Coast Guard approved will not satisfy legal requirements, and j will be dealt with accordingly. “For their own safety,” Cole man said, “boaters must obtain approved lifesaving devices, and citations will be issued for us ing improper lifesaving equip ment.” “State and federal laws are explicit about boat numbers,’ Coleman added, “and citations will be issued to operators of improperly numbered boats. The number assigned to the boat and no other shall be painted on or attached to the bow and must be distinctly visible and clearly legible. The letters and numerals must be of plain block design, not less than three inches high, and of a color which will dis tinctly contrast with the back ground. White letters and num bers bordered in black don't quali fy when used on a light colored j background. If these bordered let ters and numbers are used on dark backgrounds, the light-color ed, visible portion must be at least three inches high. '“Also, between the prefix, the numerals and the suffix the law requires a hyphen or a space equal to a letter or numeral other than 1 or I,” added Cole | man. “Enforcement officers will be ! watching for compliance with all j these requirements which make ! motorboating safer, more pleasant ' and more orderly,” he said.

Counties Share In Wood Income The expression “Manteo to Murphy” fits many things in the Tar Heel state, but perhaps noth ing better than North Carolina's giant wood products industry. Tobacco and textiles may be bigger in terms of their total1 contribution to the State’s econo my. But neither is as wide spread as the wood products in dustry. i “Every county in the state contributes raw materials to the industry,” says Peter Dyson, ex tension forestry marketing spe cialist at North Carolina State j college. I “Forty-one per cent of all Tar | Heel manufacturing plants pro cess wood products.” Dyson adds. ; “The industry employs one out of every five people who work in manufacturing.” Altogether, its three segments j —lumber, furniture and paper— i contribute about one and a quar ter billion dollars annually to the economy of North Carolina. North Carolina leads the South in the production of lumber. The lumber portion of the industry hires 35,000 people in more than 3,000 mill; scattered over nearly every county in the state. The annual value of lumber products! is $275 million. The North Carolina furniture industry loads all the states in the number of pieces manufac tured. These pieces include every thing from upholstered furniture to hardwood kitchen cabinets. The 400 or more plants which produce furniture are scattered throughout the Upper Piedmont and Mountain sections of the state. They employ 42,000 peo ple. The annual value of their product is $520 million. The annual value of the paper industry products is $431 million. These products include pulp for rayon, cellophane, insulation, acoustical tile and numerous pa per products. These many pro ducts account for nearly 100 firms and 14.000 employed peo ple. Forestry is the sixth most important source of income to farmers. It contributed $46 mil lion to farm income during 1960. This is an increase from $18 mil lion in 1950. A high of $48 mil lion was reached in 1958, and since then it has leveled off at $46 million for the past two years. In addition, forestry con tributed another $40 million to the income of land owners who are not classified as farmers. “Like our other farm pro ducts, forest products are subject to severe competition both from substitute products and wood pro I ducts from other regions,” Dyson says. To keep our place in the na tions industry, Dyson says, “We must prepare a superior product more efficiently.” In. an endeavor to improve efficiency, technology has changed. The direct effect of this change in technology, Dyson explains, is to lessen the need for unskilled labor. In the past a high percentage of less skilled labor was used in the woods handling pulp bolts and in the sawmills handling lum ber, Today with the introduction of machines to do much of the manual labor, it is necessary to have an upgrading of skills, he believes. The marketing specialist points out that western states are pres ently giv g severe competition to our ir Live grown lumber on the east rn marekts, in spite of their - .'eat distances from the mark He cites four major rea son for this competition: (1) fn ght rates which favor western v ,ods, (2) increased mechaniza ,on of the western industry, (3) larger tree and mill size in the west, and (4) higher caliber of labor employed by western in dustry. Dyson also savs that managers i of we.^ustry have conduct ed a vigorous research program on what the people want in the way of wood products. In addi Nakina Outfits Win At Eagles’ Homecoming ASH — Nakina's Indianettes downed Waocamaw's Eaglettes, 60-35. and the Indians from the Columbus County school handed the Eagle boys a 65-53 setback here, Friday night, to somewhat i put a damper on the local Home- ! coming celebration. At the halftime of the boys' ; contest, Miss Dianna Ward was crowned Waecamaw’s 1962 Home coming Queen by-virtue of having been given 3,182 votes in the I contest which was climaxed, ati the Homecoming games. The new queen was crowned by her father. J. B. Ward. Jr. Patsy Chappell was runner-up in the contest with 2,001 votes. The wins for Coach Bill Atkin son's Nakina teams closed out their regular 1962 season. The Indianette girls wound up with an overall record of 19 wins. 4 loss es; while the Braves won 15, lost 8 during the season. High scorers were Nakina's Jean Register and Hazel Stevens with 19 points each, Linda Sim mons with 17, All-Columbus Jim my Dew with 23, and Albert Reg ister and Tony Long with 16 markers each; also Waccamaw’s Lois Smith and Pat Inman with 12 points each, and Vernon Hughes with 31 and Lyle King with 11. Defensive standouts included W accamaw’s Vern Hughes and Dickie Williams, Sharon Babson; ard Nakina’s Dottie Kay Arp. Bruhilda Register, Jim Dew and Tony Long. Hazel Stevens hit at 7:10 and Jean Register at 6:15 and Stevens again at 6 minutes to give the Iidianettes a 6-0 lead before Pat Inman dropped in one for the Eaglettes at 5:22. Nakina led. 17-4, 27-21, and 46-29 at the Uon, they have conducted a vig orous advertising campaign to ac quaint the users of wood pro- ; ducts with their products. In the I construction business, for ex ample, this advertising campaign has been directed at architects, construction people and the do-it yourself man. The wood products industry is a natural industry in our state, Dyson declares, for forests cover much of our land. “However, if we are to keep our place in this industry,” he adds, “we must continue to im prove our- efficiency through in creased mechanization and im proved managerial skills." Dyson believes,1 this “may necessitate a pooling of industrial resources to acquaint the buyers on our east- j ern market with the products of . our state.” Bears, Trojans Split Two Tilts Data: CAROLYN WALKER DELCO—Aveline Skipper hac hot hands in the closing- minutt of play here, Monday night, tc help her Bolivia Lady Bruins tc a 31-30 victory over the Acme Delco Lady Trojans, and Mac Cole and Jerry Gore combined tc lead Acme-Delco's boys to a 49 44 win over the Bear quint.
