Medical Staff Donates $10,008 Loris Hospital The Medical Staff of Lori; Community Hospital Tuesday agreed to give $10,000.00 to the hospital to provide com plete air conditioning and touched off a chair-reaction that is expected to mean the construction of a laundry and re-locating and doubling the size of the present X-ray room and the laboratory at the hos pital. ι Ε. E. Prince, cnairman of the board of trustees of the hospital, said members of the Medical Staff agreed to give $10,000.00 to the hospital to match Federal Funds and this in turn touched off a move to expand the current building program to include the laun dry, larger X-ray room and larger laboratory, at a total cost of some $85,000.00. However the project depends largely on the public of the Simlson Creek. Green Sea and Bayboro Townships srved by the hospital. If they show the same desire to improve the hos pital as evidenced by the Medi cal Staff, he said, the overall project will be possible. A total of $42,500 In Fed eral funds are available for the work but must be matched. WlJu the $10,000.00 J^ven by the Aledical Staff, there la still need for $32.500.00 but It Is believed help may be obtained through Duke Endowment. However, in the past experi ence has shown that help from Duke is usually proportionate to the help localities give themselves. Today (Wednesday) members of the Lorls Civitan Club arc expected to take to the field in an intensixe campaign to raise the local funds. Construction of '.he laundry at the hospital would create three full-time jobs here in addition to saving the hospital an estimated $300 per month money that is now of necessi ty going out of town.

Tarte was the lirst pastor. The building was built in a grove of cherry trees, from which its name was taken. The builoing was a long straight log building— the book notes— With fi-ur doors: one each for the pastor, men, women and slaves. Later a shed was added to the structure and was to serve the memoers until 1360 when another church was buijt. A third building was built in 1924 and was used until the present church was completed in 1948. and was used until the present church was completed in 1948.

Oct. 22. concluding the festival. PART OSE The mating of Glenn Miller's magnificent music with Kay McKinley'.* very special talents is nothing new — in fart, it's almost twenty-five years old! It began about a quarter of a century ago as sort of a mu tual admiration society, ami culminated many years later in May's taking over Gl"fin's won derful AAF dance b;ind when Major Miller was lost in action durine World War II. Their story starts in Chicago during the early thirties Glenn was just beginning his fabulous career as an arranger and trombonist in Ken Pollack's succcssful bond Kay. too wis hist star"n" ires*» nr> fro-n Fort Worth. Texas. Iiis» carerr, though was almost nipped in the bud when gangsters in ray McKinley vaded the night club in which lie was drumming and sent a stray bullet his way. Result: Ray's leg. though not his ca reer. was nipped, and he land ed on crutches. But the strong urge for rhythmic expression which had first attracted him to the drums could not be stilled, so Mc Kinley would spend evenings listening to, and often sitting in with. Pollack's band. Miller loved the way he played and McKinley loved the way Glenn wrote. Next result: when Glenn left Pollack to organize a band for Smith Ballew. one of the· top crooners of the day. he chose Hay to be his drummer. The Ballew band was fairly successful, but not nearly so successful as the next group which Miller helped organize and for which he again wrote the arrangements: the Dorscy Brothers' Orchestra. Again Mc Kinley went with him. and sparked by Glenn's ingenious writing and Ray's inspiring drumming, this became one of the outstanding big dance bands of all time. The Glenn Miller Story By this time, though. Glenn had made such a name for himself as an organizer, ar ranger anil trombonist, that his services were in constant de mand. Overseas, in Kngland. Hay Nobel, about to embark on his American career, heard about Miller and asked him to get together band for him in this country. Glenn left the Dorseys: Mc Kinley elected to stay on. and for the time being their paths separated The hand-picked Noble band with mo'-c fine arrangements b\ Miller, turned out to be an equally succesful outfit, and xoon thereafter, with the dance hand era coming into its own. i» was only natural for Glenn to start his own orchestra. This he did in I»37. but it wasn't until the Soring of 1939 that the Miller brand of music real tv caught the public's fancy. And when it did catch on — wow For I hrτ a'<d a half vears th" Οΐ«'η·ι Mtl'rr " i'e t'ic wive·· as America'« Number One Band. Glenn's liquid reeds with the uniqu« I clarinet lead, the ooh-wah brass, the romantic ballads, the j jumping swing numbers and the imaginative novelties all combined to win millions of i fans the world over — and to ; hold them, too! And when I Glenn entered the Army with the rank of Captain in October, ι 1942. only to lose his life in a flight over the English Chan nel in December, 1944, the >plirit of the Miller music still stayed on. His fans simply would not borget. And finaliy. nearly ten years after Glenn had played his last notes, the big Millpr revival took shape,! sparked by the highly success ful movie of his career. The Glenn .Miller Story. In addition, there appeared many phono graph records of music played in his style — some reissues of his earlier records, others from newly-fo.»nd broadcasts, ι and still others by top name hands of the mid-fifties whose style had been so markedly influenced by Miller's music. Released most recently, and receiving the greatest acclaim ι of all Glenn Miller records was 1he RCA Victor set of his Army Air Force .Band's music, as | brilliant a batch of recording ι as has ever appeared anywhere, anytime. And. who was tho spark-plug of these magnificent sides? The same Ray McKin ley — only he was then known as SERGEANT Ray McKinley, i Wrote George T. Simon in the ! album's liner notes: "It was McKinley, a close: friend of Glenn's, once a fellow | side - man in the Dorscy Brothers' band and then a rival band leader, who. ac- j cording to many of the men, really took over for Glenn by becoming the band's inspire· tional leader " In addition. | McKinley fronted the hand on all concerts and on all dance dales " The music in the album is. of course, full of McKinley— i full of his inspiring, pounding drums: full of his infectious rhythmic singing and his imag inative ideas, sucn as his ma jor contribution to the band's famous St. Louis Blues March. (Second Part Next Week" Wildlife Club Is 33 Strong Members of the Columbus County Wildlife Club, recently organized with headquarters in Tabor City, are not sure that they gave the organization the right name; sportsmen of other counties are expressing interest in joining the hunting fishing group In fact, seve-al Horry coun ty men hav·· already* placed their nafrnes On the member ship roll! · Although the club was form ed less than a month ago, int erest has grown to the extent that 33 members have joined. Maxie Watts secretary of the club, said today that any man interested in joining, whether a Columbus resident or not. should contact him or the club's president (Ted Watts) at an early date. The club was formed under the auspices of the N. C. Wild life Federation to foster better hunting and fishing policies, and as a social outlet for these sports enthusiasts. Dennis Stanley of Surperna. Fla. is spending some time with friends and relatives Mr. and Mrs. Almon Stanley, Miss Elenta Stanley of Pircway. and Talmadge Stanley of Whitc ville.
