An X-ray process installed recently at Cape Fear Valley Hospital cuts by half, in most cases, the usual dosage of X-ray radiation to patients, according to hospital Director James R. Shafer. The equipment employs a com bination of special X-ray film and an "intensifying screen." The screen, a thin sheet of phosphores cent material which is placed be tween the patient and the film, concentrates X-rays into more in tense light rays which are more easily "seen" by the film. Developed by Du Pont, the system allows a sharp reduction in patient radiation exposure without sacrificing image quality of the X-ray, according to Jack Demp sey, chief radiology technologist at the 490-bed hospital. Cape Fear Valley annually per forms more than 78,000 X-ray ex aminations and is the first hospital in the state to totally convert to this type of X-ray equipment, Dempsey said. I Noting increasing federal government concern with radiation dosages and rising health care costs, Dempsey said, "A radiologist's objective is to use as little radiation as possible while still producing a readable X-ray. "This new X-ray screen and film system greatly reduces' patient dosage and at the same time gives a diagnostic image. It also enables us to increase X-ray tube life and thus hold down the line on hospital costs." Rockfish News by PoUy Barnard Tel. 175-2736 There was good attendance for worship service at Tabernacle Bap tist Church the past Sunday. The topic of the sermon was, "The Responsibilities of the Home". A baptismal service was held after worship service. The service was unique because of cir cumstances. Hitomi Hirose, a young Japanese, was the sole candidate for baptism. She came to the U.S.A. from Japan on a student visa to attend Wingate College. She graduated this month with a degreee in education. During the last month of her four years in America she became a Christian and it was her desire to be baptized prior to her return. Rev. Barringer was made aware of this and thanks to Tabernacle Bap tist Church her prayer was answered. Our thoughts and prayers are with her as she returns to her homeland and continues to grow in her faith. The Ordination last Sunday for Rev. James "Jimmy" Dees was most impressive at Tabernacle Baptist Church and they are indeed proud to have another minister from the church. Those participating were Rev. Carl Strickland of Rockingham, Rev. "Mac" Musslewhite of Pitt man Grove Baptist Church, Rev. Robert Turner and Rev. Archie Barringer, church pastor. Music was provided by "The Jubilee Choir". Among special guests who at tended was Jimmy's mother, Mrs. Elbert Dees of Carolina Beach, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Morrell of Fayetteville, parents of Mrs. Dees and Rev. and Mrs. Carl Strickland of Rockingham. Following the ser vice a reception was held in the Fellowship Hall of the Church.
