He died Child Development Under Abuse Conditions Studied Donald was born in a small North Carolina town into a family situation that left much to be desired. He was kept in a crib until age four. He was culturally deprived, brutalized to the extent of having scars on his back from beatings and neglected. At the age of 10, Donald and his brother broke into a school. He was sent to a corrections center, then to a mental hospital, and finally to a center for the mentally retarded. The future for young Donald seemed dark until he met Dr. Jim Tompkins, who was new to North Carolina an employee of the Durham Child Advocacy Center. (Dr. Tompkins is now executive director of the Governor's Advocacy Council for Children and Youth, an agency of the Department of Human Resources.) "I was impressed with Donald," Dr. Tompkins says. "He was not mentally retarded, but was there because of court action. I felt he had no business there." Dr. Tompkins, in cooperation with administrators at the institution, enrolled Donald in the Wright . School for emotionally disturbed children in Durham. ...

Musical Conference Was Held The 33rd Annual Southern Baptist Church Music Leadership Conference is being held at Ridgecrest Baptist Conference Center, Ridgecrest, N.C., July 1-7, 1973. For three days preceeding the conference 50 youth choirs from 12 states par ticipated in the first Southern Baptist Convention Youth Choir Festival at Ridgecrest Conference Center. of 1972. He described Donald's first weekend this way: "Donald used his hands to eat. He used utensils backwardly. He didn't know how to wash, take a shower or brush his teeth. He had no concept of matching clothing, and he was a junk-collector, compulsive counter,, a holdover from his dealing with tokens at the institution." Dohald, at age 13, was at the second grade educational level. The weekend adoption system lasted until May of this year, when Donald left Wright School and Dr. Tompkins to go to a church-supported Children's Home. In seven months, Donald had reached a seventh grade level in arithmetic and a sixth grade level in all other subjects. There were no inductions of his former primitive habits. - Jim Tompkins says he had two motivations for taking Donald into his home and life. "First, I liked the kid. He's neat and likeable. And I wanted to give one child one chance in life. "An I wanted to show, in a professional way, that this type of program can work. Families across North Carolina could be 'springing' kids from institutions like this and providing them with family environments," he said. Dr. Tompkins explains that children are often placed in institutions or corrections SpilmanDedication Service Planned Dedication services for the newly remodeled B. W. Spilman Auditorium will be held at Ridgecrest Baptist Conference Center, Ridgecrest, N. C, July 30, 1973, at 11 a.m. Principal speakers will be James L. Sullivan, president of the Southern Baptist Sunday School Board and A. V. Washburn, secretary of the board's Sunday School department. Included in the service will be a dedication recital on the new Allen Organ by Miss Sharron Lyon, keyboard consultant in the church music department of the Sunday School Board. The organ is an Allen Digital Computer Organ, custom built and installed in Spilman Auditorium in June, 1973. The tuning is computer controlled so it never needs tuning. . A transposing device enables the organist to play in any other of 12 keys by turnina a multi-selector switch that shifts the pitch of the organ in chromatic sequence. Additional stops are available by means of computer cards. An elec tronic card reader can ac tivate a variety of extra The auditorium has two new pianos, air conditioning and a complete new sound and lighting system designed for multimedia and dramatic presentation in addition to normal usage. Special music for the dedication service, will be provided by the staff choir, composed of college and high school students serving this summer on the staff at Ridgecrest Conference Center. Other persons on the program include William J. Reynolds, secretary of the church music department, J. M. Crowe, vice-president of the board, Bob M. Boyd, director of the board's conference center division, H. E. Ingraham, a retiree of the Sunday School Board and Ken McAnear, manager of the conference center. The renovated auditorium replaces the old Spilman Auditorium built in 1938 and expanded in 1952. Seating centers simply because they have nowhere else to go. "Many are there not because they're mentally retarded, but because they're abandoned, abused, neglected, or placed by court action." Insitutions welcome the idea of parents "springing" the children, Superintendents, as well as social workers from the units, are available to work out the most suitable plan for. families to adopt the children, either for weekends and holidays, or for longer periods. "If a small portion of our population would get involved, our institutions would be empty of, children who shouldn't be in these institutions," Dr. T6mpkins predicts. It is obvious that Donald has made his mark on Jim Tompkins, and sold him on the value of such projects. "Why, if the children's home program works out, that kid could be my boss in ten years," he said. . Many Although the Dare coast and Cape Hatteras have long been known as the Graveyard of the At lantic, not all ships which suffered misfortunes in -these areas were total losses. The brave crews of the lifesaving stations for merly situated along the length of the Outer Banks , have been credited with saving dozens of ships and crews which ran afoul of the treacherous shoals. It was all in a day's work for these hardy men. Some days, they assisted several grounded vessels. , .. ' During the late 1800's, a few of the ships re floated and sent on their way included The General Banks, Cherubim, Vim, and Charles. The Norfolk & Carolina Telephone & Telegraph Co. capacity is still ap proximately 2,600. Spilman Auditorium was named after B. W. Spilman, founder of Ridgecrest Baptist Assembly. In July, 1972, the name was changed to Ridgecrest Baptist Con ference Center to emphasize and communicate the year round operation of Ridgecrest. Remodeling work began in the spring of 1972. Work had to be curtailed during the summer months due to conferences in progress, but resumed immediately upon completion of the summer schedule. All work should be completed before dedication services July 30.

WILSON GUESTS Mr. and Mrs. Billy Winslow and son, Brock, of Wilson were guests of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Linford Winslow and Mrs. Johnny Broughton, during the week-end. VISITS HERE Clarence Watson, III, of Philadelphia, Pa. is spending the summer with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Proctor. FROM NORFOLK Mr. and Mrs. Frank McCloskey and family of Norfolk, Va. were guests of relatives here on Sunday. By MARION SWINDELL . There is a remarkable story about an Englishman by the name of James Holman. Holman lost his eyesight at the age of twenty-four, and he became the most restless blind man in history. He kept on the move, touring and traveling around the world. The fascinating -part of this man's story is that he published several books on travel and things to see. Even though he was blind he compiled the finest book written on sightseeing. This is a classic example of what a person can do if he really has the desire. ' So many of us with all our faculties end up many times with few or no great accomplishments. We don't have the nerve of the blind man who went sightseeing around the world.

Swindell Funeral Home HERTFORD, N.C. ; PHONE 426-7314 ; Saved What do you look for in a nursing home if, for one reason or another, a relative must be placed in such a facility? Before making any decisions, consult . a physician you may not need the services of a nurs ling home at all. There are several types of facilities available depending on the person's needs. .' . Family care homes, which house no more than five people, and homes for the aged, which house more than five residents, provide a , protected environment (one which provides the residents with basic needs such as food and shelter) for those living there. These homes, which are licensed by the Division of Social Services of the N . C . Department of Human Resources, do not provide medical facilities, In North Carolina there are 572 family care homes located in 85 counties. Homes for the aged number 245.

There are 10 intermediate care facilities in the state. . Finally, there are the skilled nursing homes which provide 24 hour nursing service to patients. An RN must be responsible for the nursing staff but may not be on duty at all times in this type of home; however, LPN's should be on duty day and night. There are 131 homes of this type. Sixty four of these homes strictly offer skilled care; 10 offer a combination of skilled and intermediate care; 20 offer skilled care and home for the aged care; and the remainder of the homes are assorted combinations. One factor which may also influence your decision as to the type of home needed is whether the facility falls under . Medicare-JUedicaid eligibility provisions.
