Heafner, county libiarian, in answer to a request for a list of suitable books which could be placed in the Chdrryviile Public Library in memory of Miss Net tie Willis, former librarian, who passed away recently. “Miss Willis’ death was shock ing and tragic. She was a fine person with many unusual talents and abilities. I had seen her in Winston-Salem just about a month ago when I was tin tor a library meeting, and haa lunch with her one day. She told me about her work there and seemed so very happy. She was leading a very active, busy life and was making a real contribution. She was a wonderful person and a good librarian. We were very for tunate to have had her in Cherry ville, and that library was very close to her heart. She was still interested in it and told me that day of many things she would like to see done there. I 'an think of no honor that might be paid her memory more fitting than the placing of the memorial books in the library. She would be very proud, I think. “Have you ever considered be ginning a Memorial Shelf in the library and giving it some local Dublieity. A number of places do that and the libraries have a special Memorial Shelf. A lot of people prefer placing a book in memory of a person rather than sending flowers. A Memorial Book Plate can be placed in the front of the book, giving the name of the donor and the person in whose memory it is given. We have quite a few given us, although 'vfe dc not have a special Memorial Shelf. However, we do choose for the memorial a book that has lasting value and that is outstanding in its particular field. I write a let ter to the family of the person in whose memory the book is be ing presented giving them the name of the person making the gift and the title of the book presented. “I am sending you several lists from which you might select suit able titles. If you do not find any on these lists, I’ll be glad to sug gest others, and I shall be glad, of course, to order them for you." The local library has a Memori al Shelby which was started a few years ago by the Blue Stocking Book Club when several books were placed in. the library in memory of the late Gertrude Kiser ltudisill. Several others have been added to this special shelf, which was a donation from Mr. Carlyle Summer last year. Any individual or club desir ing to add to the Memorial Shelf in memory of Miss Willis or any one else may do so at any time. If help in selecting a book is needed^ please contact Mrs. Clyde Ledford, librarian, as these lists will be placed in the library for a limited period of time before being returned to the county library.

Press And Radio Leaders Hear Hospital Discussion Representatives of the county’s newspapers, radio stations, and industrial publications were guests of Gaston Memorial Hospital at a steak dinner in the hospital caf eteria Monday night. Before touring the hospital, a lively discussion between hospital officials and the news people took well over an hour. Fred Hubbard, administrator; Mrs: Edna Betty, director of nurses; Mrs. R. S. Clin ton. public relations director; and Joe Hudson of the board of trus tees represented the hospital. This was one of a series of meetings being conducted by Gaston Memorial to better ac quaint the people of Gaston coun ty with the opertions and servic es provided by the hospital. Civ ic and industrial groups have been invited to similar meetings. ‘We feel that by selecting a few key groups, we can reach all the people of the county,” com mented Mrs, Clinton. She point ed out. that it would be impossible to contact each citizen of the countv. OWNED BY PEOPLE Discussions Monday night center ed on hospital finances, ownership, blood program, facilities and ser vices. Hubbard told the group that Gaston Memorial is deeded to the people of Gaston county and held in trust by a self per petuating hoard of trustees rep resenting most of the towns in the county. He explained the reasons why the hospital must collect fees from its patients. ‘‘We have sev eral alternatives. We could rely on public donations, draw from endowments and grants, or charge 1 those patients who are willing and I able to pay an amount of money I ary, .High to take care of those who can’t pay.” The hospital now operates on the patients’ fee basis. “This is the most desirable method,” he said. The hospital is presently operating in the black, he declar ed but added that surplus money is needed to purchase costly equipment and make physical ad dition* to meet the rapid growth of the county. About $50,000 is now being spent to completely air condition Gaston Memorial. In addition, over 80 doctors on the staff rep resent every type of medical spe cialist except brain. For this rea son modern equipment must be kept available. Expansions of the nursing school and the hospital will be necessary in the not too distant future and money must be on hand to meet these expenses. Indigent people are taken care of through the welfare and other social groups. Hubbard declared that no emergency case is ever turned away because of the pa tient’s inability to pay. He point ed out that the hospital is now collecting all hut about eight per cent of its patient fees. This, he added, amount* to around $60,000 a year. A program is now being work ed out by officials to better in form the people about the hospi tal. its functions, and the part it plays in the community. The tour took visitors into all departments of the hospital. Gaston county newspapers rep resented were: The Gaston Citi zen, The Gastonia Gazette and the Cherryville Eagle.

Practical Nursing To Make Changes Raleigh — The place of the Licensed Practical Nurse on the health team of North Carolina will be greatly strengthened by the action of the 1955 Legisla ture in two important ways, ac cording to Miss Joyce Warren, Chairman of the North Carolina Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education. The new legislation should pro vide for throughly trained prac tical nurses and for better licens ing control of the group, she said. 'Most important of these, is the requirment of a 12 months course of training in an accredited school of practial nursing in order for the applicant to be eligible for the Practical Nurse Licensure Examination by the Board after July 1, 1956. Until that time per sons desiring certification as a licensed practical nurse may take the examination after properly endorsed experience and informal training, under the -‘waiver” pro visions of the existing law. A course of certificates from a commercail or correspondence school of practical nursing does not qualify a person for practical nurse licensure in North Carolina. The second important phase of the new law is the strengthening of the licensure procedure re quired of the lincensed practical nurse. The fee for the examina tion and initial certification is $10.00. The annual licensure re newal fee has been increased from one dollar to two dollars, effective next January. In addition a pen alty fee of three dollars plus the renewal fee has been established for those who do not renew their license on or before January 1 of each year. The last examination to be given to the so-called “waiver” applicants will be on July 25, 1956 Miss Warren said. Other examinations for the group in the intervening period will be on July 27 and November 9 of this year, and on March 21. of 1956. Applications must be on file with the Board by July 6 for the next examination and twenty to twenty five days prior to each scheduled examination.
