Plans For Credit
Bureau Discussed
By Area Merchants
At a meeting Jield in the court
house at Carthage Monday night,
attended by a number of busi
ness men, plans were discussed
concerning formation of a credit
bureau for Moore County through
which information on the credit
standing of customers could be
exchanged.
Mrs. Fentress Money of Madi
son, secretary of the. Associated
Credit Bureaus in North Carolina,
was on hand and outlined details
for the organization of a credit
bureau. She told of the cost in
setting it up, and other pertinent
information.
It was pointed out that Moore
County is the only county in the
state that does not now have a
credit bureau. “I don’t see how
you have managed to get along
without such an organization,”
Mrs. Money told the gathering.
Those present were unanimous
in the belief that such an organ
ization is needed and another
meeting will be called in the near
future in an effort to get plans
underway for the formation of a
county-wide crec^it bureau.
It is hoped that a membership
of 100 business firms can be en
listed at the outset from over the
county. The credit bureau would
be a non-profit organization and
would cost between $5,000 and
$5,500 to set up, it was pointed
out.
Henry Williams, manager of
the Belk-Cline store at Robbins,
presided.
Jim Ritchie, proprietor of the
Southern Pines Western Auto As
sociate Store,' attended the meet
ing.

Of Cameron Succumbs
Mrs. Fannie Cameron Douglas,
75, of Cameron, died Sunday.
Surviving is her husband

ices were conducted Monday at

Home in Carthage by the Rev.
B. E. Dotson. Burial was in

Mr. McGoogan pointed out tha’
the record of 100,000 area patients
served by Moore Memorial Hos
pital has been reached in le-
than 32 years. During that time
he said, the hospital has shown a
remarkable growth record.
“Some people thought that the
33-bed capacity which the hosp'
tal had when it was completed in
1929 was far too large for this
area’s needs,” ,he said. “Yet, to
day our capacity is 119 and w
have been forced to bring ou-
bed complement up to 143 b'
crowding rooms and using hall
ways and other non-patien1

Publicity Chairman
to show how hospital usage has
increased since 1930, Moore Mem
orial’s first full year of operation
In that year, he said, 766 patients
were served; in 1961, the figure
had risen to 6,451. In 1930, patient
days totalled 9,710; in 1961, the;'
reached 43,197.
Only 414 operations were per
formed during 1930, he said, but
last year 3,263 operations were
handled in a surgical area which
is virtually unchanged from the
hospital’s beginning.
X-rays have risen from 310 to
8,564, and laboratory examina
tions have increased from 3,685
in 1930 to 52,881 in 1961.
“We’re happiest about one sta
tistic which has shown a de
crease,” Mr. McGoogan said. “In
1930, the average patient was in
the hospital for 12.7 days. Last
year, the average patient stayed
only 6.7 days. It’s the business of
the hospital to help patients re
cover as quickly as possible.
We’re pleased that the last 30
years have seen the average pa
tient stay cut almost in half.”
