Hold Meeting '
The trustees of the Duplin Gen
eral Hospital met in regular session
here Tuesday night and viewed
temporary plans for the new hos-j
pital. The architects have com-!
pleted the initial drawings and
they are in Raleigh this week being
studied by the Hospital Care Com
mission. Plans generally call for
a three story structure, somewhat
in a T shape. It will face East
towards highway II. The struc
ture will follow somewhat conven
tional colonial lines, with not ex
treme modernistic trends. How
ever in detail it will be complete
ly modern as to service and acco
modations. When these drawings
are reviewed in Raleigh they will
be returned to the architects for
a second and more complete draw
ing. The Times hopes that be
fore too long we can publish a pic
ture of the building.
The Trustee designated the Wae
camaw Bank in Kenansville as the
official depository for the hospi
tal and asked the Commissioners
to set up funds for the project in
its next budget. -

prominent merch nt and civic lead

The goal for Duplin County is
$1500.00, Mr. Eisenberg announc

$10,000,000, funds which will be
used for programs of research,
services to patients and public and
professional education on cancer.
North Carolina's goal is $300,000,
Mr. Eisenberg said.
"The dread disease of cancer took
the lives of 32 persons in our coun
ty last year. It took 3,325 lives
in North Carolina. Many of these
lives could have been saved if the
individuals had gone early enough
to their doctors or cancer detection
centers," Mr. Eisenberg said.

per cent of the entire cam

of which it is hoped that the cause
and cure of cancer will be discov

Part of the funds will go toward
the support of a Nursing Home for
indigent, incurable cancer cases
at Lumberton. The Home was op
ened in dedication ceremonies
March 23.
Cancer funds are used to help
provide hospitalization and treat-'
ment for needy sufferers from the
disease.
Twenty per cent of the dollar
which remains in North Carolina
is spent for education of the public
as to cancer danger signals and
methods of cure and treatment.
Twelve per cent of the amount is.
spent in keeping doctors abreast
of latest developments on the can
cer front. Seven per cent goes for
lay service projects such as
comfort kits for patients, transpor
tation of needy patients to detec
ion centers, surgical dressings foi
patients. etc. Ten a.r cent is ustdt
for ttie. education and fund rais-
ing activities. ,Only 4 per cent of
the North Carolina dollar is con

going to church, you should font
