Sanatoriiim Dirctors Approve Large
Renovation Project At McCain Unit
Directors of the North Carolina
Sanatorium System have formal
ly approved a renovation project
at McCain which consolidates the
hospital’s two main divisions, one
for colored and one for white, un
der one roof.
At the sapie time the directors
gave 28 acres of land to the State
Board of Correction and Training
for use in a new juvenile home.
Facilities for the new unit were
made available by the Sanatori
um System.
The new training home, re
modeled from an old building, is
located at the southern border of
the 2,000 acre sanatorium campus.
It formerly held the hospital’s
Negro patients and was abandon
ed recently after the consolida
tion.
The entire project, according
to spokesmen for the System,
will give the State more efficient
facilities for tuberculosis treat
ment at McCain, afford the new
training school, and effect a net
savings of some $50,000 annually
to the State. i
The sanatorium consolidation,
the spokesman continued, elim
inates duplications in dietary,
nursings housekeeping and plant
services areas which will save
some $263,000 per year.
Sen. O. Arthur Kirkman of
High Point, vice chairman of the
Sanatorium board,' said the re
duced operating costs will more
than pay for the $243,000 renova
tion the first year of consolida
tion. A total of 85 employees of
the abandoned division were re
leased.

pare and serve an enormous numr
ber of meals during a period of,
say, a year — just ponder on the

department, and he was honored
by his fellow workers last week
when he was selected as the
“Employee of the Month.’’ He has
been with the institution since
1944, and according to Mrs. Kate
Davis, dietician, “it would be
tough going around here without
him.”
He is a familiar figure, in his
spotless white coat, at all the
special dinners for the staff and
board members.
Tom had no formal training
in cooking, but since childhood
has always had a keen interest
in the preparation of food. Born
in Laurinburg, he moved to West
