Andrews Hospital
Eyes Addition
Should a 50-bed extended care
wing be added to District Memorial
Hospital at Andrews?
The hospital's executive board
recently ordered the administration
staff of District Memorial to study the
possibility of an extended care
facility.
And a just-released survey by the
State of Franklin Service to Senior
Citizens flatly recommends
construction of the addition at
Andrews.
Fred Mashburn, hospital
administrator at Andrews, is in
charge of the local study and reported
Postal Service
Day Set
Post Offices in Murphy,
Hayesville Andrews and other
communities in this area will
celebrate National Postal
Service Day on Thursday.
It marks the end of the old
U.S. Post Office Department,
which was a Cabinet
department, and the beginning
of the U.S. Postal Service, a
government corporation
which President Nixon said in
proclaiming the special day
"will provide management and
methods appropriate to a great
and vital communications
system in the 20th century."
To celebrate the beginning
of the nevt Postal Service, the
Post Offices will be decorated
with suitable posters and will be
distributing free a souvenir
envelope marking the occasion.
Postmasters suggest that the
new 8-cent commemorative
stamp be purchased and
fastened to the envelope and
postmarked, for a historic
keepsake of the day.
Tuesday that an extended care wing
would cost more than $1 million,
according to the cost formula used by
the North Carolina Medical Care
Commission.
Mashburn added, however, that
the facility need not be built
necessarily at Andrews. 'The
closest one is at Clyde and that's too
faraway," he said. "As long as it was
built anywhere in this area - Murphy,
Hayesville, anywhere fairly close - it
would be all right."
An extended care unit provides
treatment and beds for patients who
need care hut not the same intensive
care as is given for those acutely ill in
a hospital. A diabetic, for example,
may need his insulin regulated and a
nurse to check on him periodically
but he would not need the round-the
clock nursing staff and doctors of a
hospital.
Mashburn said one patient at
Andrews that he knew of stayed at
the hospital for two years but could
have been accomodated at an
extended care wing, if one had been
available. The hospital staff at
Andrews estimates that 20 to 25
percent of the patients could be cared
for in an extended care unit, he said.
Extended care facilities don't
need the same ratio of nurses and
doctors to the number of patients as in
a hospital, he added, and the costs per
patient per day are about half that of
hospital care. This would mean a
savings for the area served by
District Memorial of up to half a
million dollars a year, he said.
The Andrews administrator said
the main advantage to building the
extended care unit at District
Memorial is that the present hospital
kitchen could take care of the
proposed new wing, "at a big
savings" of construction costs.

Fatal Wreck ... car crumpled on impact with bridge.
Girl Killed In Wreck
A Murphy girl was killed
and four other teenagers were
injured Sunday evening when
their car collided with a
concrete bridge abutment at
Tomolta.
Doris Ann Phillips, 15, was
trapped in the wreckage for
almost an hour before she was
freed by volunteer workers,
members of the Andrews
Rescue Squad and N.C.
Highway Patrolman.
She was declared dead on
arrival at Providence Hospital
here.
Others in the car - the
driver, Carl Dean Newton, 18,
of Andrews, Linda Gaddis, 14, of
Murphy, and Larry Ray
Applegate, 17, of Morristown,
Tenn. - were broueht to
Providence then transferred
to a Gainesville, Ga. hospital,
where they are now said to be
doing well.
The fifth person in the car,
14-year-old Kenneth Applegate
of Morristown, suffered only
cuts and bruises in the wreck
and was treated and released
Sunday night at the Murphy
hospital.
Highway Patrolman Don
Reavis investigated the 6:45
pjn. accident, assisted by
Patrolman Bob Ogle. They have
filed no charges yet, pending
further investigation of the
crash.
"The road.has just been
paved," Trooper Reavis said.
"And it has a low shoulder. He
must have dropped a wheel off
the edge of the pavement and
lost control, there were no skid
marks."
The bridge crosses the
Hayes Mill Creek on US-19-129
at Tomotla and has been the
scene of several accidents in
recent years. The troopers
sstimated that Newton's 1967
Chevrolet was traveling at
about 60 miles an hour,
-emarking that "Even if he hit
he bridge at the legal limit, it
would do a lot of damage to the
car."
The impact collapsed the
car and all the teenagers were

Blackout
Explained
The power blackout in this
area during the storm on
Sunday is believed due to
lightning striking the power line
between Hiwassee Dam and
Murphy, according to a TVA
spokesman.
The surge was severe
enough to operate automatic
protective equipment and shut
down the generators at Nottely
and Chatuge power plants, and
to cut off the main transformer
in the Murphy switchyard, he
said.
As well as Murphy, the area
affected included Marble,
Hayesville, and Suit; also
Blairsville and Hiawassee, Ga.
The load lost was about 20,000
kilowatts. Power failed at 4:05
p.m. for about an hour. Those
areas supplied from Nottely
Dam were back in service
earlier.
A similiar occurrence
earlier in the month was not
noticed, because Nottely and
Chatuge plants carried the load,
the TVA man said.
Reconstruction of the
second power line from
Hiwassee Dam to Murphy is
now in progress, he said, which
will give better protection in the
future.
