C. 9 A SIX IN THE PRICE RANGE OF THE FOUR THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1930. 1,500 negroes and 100 white citizens The name chosen for the hospital is Waverly Mills Hospital for Colored People. The following is reprinted through the courtesy of the Charleston "News and Courier." Georgetown, Dec. 18. —A hospital for the negroes of the Waccamaw peninsula, founded by Dr. Henry Norris, of Bryn Mawr, Pa., will be formally opened near Waverly Mills in ,a week's time. This hospital, which was made possible by the ef forts of the Pennsylvania physician and voluntary contributions from his Northern friends, occupies a large store building which has been remod eled to suit the purpose, and though small in size is well equipped and furnished with every convenience necessary for the comfort of the pa tients. Realizing that many of the Wacca maw negroes suffer from lack of proper medical attention and are financially unable to obtain hospital services necessary, Dr. Nor ris some time ago conceived the idea of building a small infirmary near his winter home. Hearing of the project a number of his friends came to his assistance and it was not long before a site and building were secured. The negroes themselves, hearing of the proposal, offered their services as carpenters and laborers and the old store was quickly con verted into a model hospital. The building contains two wards, one for men and the other for wo men, each ward having two beds. A well equipped operating room, comfortable nurses' quarters, and a kitchen separated from the main building by a short distance, com plete the unit. • Every room is steam heated and a hot and cold water sys tem has been installed. A colored registered nurse, sup ported by the United Thank Offer ing Fund of the Protestant Episco pal church,, will take up her resi dence at the hospital and will hold the position of head nurse. Dr. Norris, who will fill the post of surgeon at the infirmary, has re ceived the voluntary offer of servic es from a number of physicians, in cluding Dr. W.« M. Gaillard, of Georgetown, and Dr. D. W. Green, of Mullins. Monday, the Right Rev. Albert S. Thomas, bishop of Soiith Carolina accompanied by the Rev. H. D. Bui] rector of the Church of Prince George, Winyah, inspected the hos pital and held a conference with the Rev. W. E. Forsythe, rector of Faith Chapel, and the resident nurse. Dedication services will be con, ducted by Mr. Bull on some conven ient day next week.
