First Baptist , Pittman Grove in Initiative
Jimbo Hughes Case Gets Action
In the wake of last week's
News-Journal story on the plight of
Jimbo Hughes and his mother.
Spring. ("Nearly - drowned Child
Clings to life"), telephones have
been ringing and interest has been
high as to further details and what
a person might do to help.
The News-Journal is pleased to
report that the Dr. Julius Jordan
Sunday School Class of Raeford's
First Baptist Church has taken the
Hughes case as a priority project.
Eugene Williams, a member of
that class, is coordinating at the
moment with all interesed churches
in the county and with various key
religious and civic figures in the
several communities, to establish
either a trust fund or a church -
administered drive to and through
which all contributions for the
Hugheses may be channeled.
Williams says he has personally
visited with Jimbo and Mrs.
Hughes in the hospital since read
ing the article in this paper, and
that he is "thoroughly impressed
with the need" in this case.
He has also visited with the Rev.
D.M. Musselwhite. pastor of
Pittman Grove Baptist Church, the
church near the Hughes home,
which took a special collection for
the family in July.
The Rev. Musselwhite said his
church had had plans for further
help for the Hughes family but
would be "pleased to fit itself firmly
into an ecumenical countywide
drive that would include everyone,
and, in that way, of course, be so
much more effective."
Until a meeting of the various
church and group representatives
can be held this week to iron out
the details. Williams said that
anyone wishing to make a con
tribution or pledge for the Hughes
cause is urged to drop by, call, or
mail such contributions to the
Secretary. First Baptist Church.
333 N. Main St., Raeford, N.C.,
28376, telephone 875-3508.
Checks and money orders should
be made payable to "The Jimbo
Hughes Fund," he said.
The Rev. Billy Beaver, pastor of
First Baptist Church, has given his
full approval to this interim
measure and to the project itself.
In the Rockfish community, the
Rev. Musselwhite, Pittman Grove's
pastor, announces that he will
personally be happy to "go any
where at any time to talk with any
organization or group about the
merits of the Hughes case." His
telephone number is 875-4569.
In recent developments in the
Hughes case, it is reported that
Jimbo's father has been located,
out of state, and that he has an
insurance policy that will "help
some but not nearly all" with
paying the expenses of Jimbo's
medical care thus far. It appears
also that the Department of Social
Services will be successful in
awarding Medicaid and food
stamps in the case.
Someone is also reported to have
given Mrs. Hughes an automobile.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday Jimbo
was moved from Cape Fear Valley
Hospital to Bethesda Nursing
Home in Eastover, with his condi
tion remaining essentially un
changed.
Mrs. Hughes will be permitted to
live in the room with her son there,
just as she has done at Cape Fear
Valley since his near-drowning on
July 1.
