Group Decides
To Make Study
About Hospital
A group of citizens met last
night at Shallotte to discuss
further plans for the establish
ment of the western Brunswick
Hospital District and voted to
make a request of the Hospital
Care Commission that final ac
tion of creating this district be
delayed until a further study and
serious effort can be made to
establish one hospital district
for the entire county. v.
- The meeting was presided over
by Aubrey Johnston, who has
served as chairman of the com
mittee that has been working
on the project to secure im
proved medical facilities for
residents of the lower part of
Brunswick county.
The Tuesday night meeting was
called to consider a report of
the meeting held in Southport last
Monday night with William Hend
erson, director of the Medical
Care commission. In his ap
pearance before the group last
week and in other appearances
in Brunswick this official had
made it clear that his commis
sion could not lend financial as
sistance to more than one hos
pital district in a county with
the population of Brunswick. He
expressed the hope that some
thing could be worked out for the
establishment of a new hospital
to be centrally located within
the county.
Earlier at a mass meeting of
Brunswick county citizens at
Shallotte there had been a un
animous vote in favor of es
tablishing a hospital district to
include three townships, Lock
woods Folly, Shallotte and Wac
camaw.
The motion to delay this final
action pending further study was
made by Joe Stanaland, seconded
by Paul Dennis.
The board of county commis
sioners at the Southport meeting
had expressed a willingness to
cooperate with the Medical Care
Commission by appointing a study
commission to develop facts re
garding the desire for one new,
opntrallv located hosDilnl

ed for prompt action to initiate
a national program of flood In

of legislation he had Introduced

Lennon advised the committee
that the citizens and property
owners of coastal North Carolina
have through the years been sub
jected to the harrowing experi
ences of storms and hurricanes
and suffered severe losses from
water damage.
The bill would provide a joint
venture between the Federal
Government and the private In
surance industry. During the
early stages of the program in
surance would be available only
for family residential proper
ties.
“It has been apparent to me for
sometime that flood Insurance
at reasonable cost is possible
only for family residential prop
erties.

School Nurse
Aids Children
Six schools in Brunswick Coun
ty have qualified under Title I
E.S.E.A. for School Health Serv
ices. Each of these schools has a
nurse at least one full day each
week and some schools one and
one half days each week. The
nurse can be reached on a call
system at any time from one
school to the other, in order to
work with principals, teachers
and parents to maintain the chil
dren’s health.
It is wrong to think that the
nurse’s job consists mostly of
bandaging cut fingers or cleaning
scraped knees. Her chief con
cern is with health routines and
helping with special problems.
Busy as she is, she will wel
come a call or a visit to those
who have any questions like:
How many hours of sleep should
my child have each night? How
many diseases can my child be
immunized against--and when?
Has she discovered any defects

Special Classes
Helping Adults
Brunswick County Schools
again this year will make avail
able to the adult citizens of the
County almost any type training
requested, according to Ralph
C. King, Assistant Superintend
ent of Brunswick County Schools.
The requirements for starting
any type of course is to have a
minimum of 15 students to enroll.
As the county and area become
more industrialized and jobs are
made available, it becomes more
important that adults be trained
or retrained in a job skill and in
many cases raise their basic edu
cation level in order to meet
job qualifications, King said.
All schools, with few excep
tions carried on educational pro
grams for adults during the past
school year. Some of the adult
courses held last year included:
Welding, farm records, income
tax and social security, brick
laying, diesel engines, tractor
maintenance and mechanics,
bookkeeping, typing, basic edu
cation, academic education,
preparatory for taking high
school equivalency test and
others.
The Cape Fear Technical Insti
tute is a major resource used by
the county in providing adult edu
cation programs. This institu
tion provides assistance in the
way of organizing courses, su
pervising courses, providing
certain equipment and supplies
and perhaps most important, that
of providing qualified instruc
tors.
“We are very much indebted
to the Cape Fear Technical In
stitute for the very fine assist
ance given us in providing quality
training programs for adults,”
King commented.
Many of the local vocational
departments also offer adult
training for various groups of
adults in the county. Some
courses have been offered by
these departments in coopera
tion with the State Department of
Public Instruction.
Adults interested in enrolling
in an adult course should contact
local school officials, according
to King.

been, more boys are receiving
this vital training than ever be
fore and our civic leaders will
take this opportunity to insure
the funds for another full year of
activity.
