Hospital gets endowment Chowan Hospital was recently awarded $10,500 from the Duke Endowment for free days of care given to indigent patients during the fiscal year 1983/84. According to Ashley H. Gale, Jr., director of the Endowment's Hospital and Child Care Divi sions, the recent grants "are an nual awards to help cover costs of indigent care and data gathering services in hospitals." When James Buchanan Duke established the Duke Endow ment in 1924, he directed that all qualifying nonprofit hospitals in the twon Carolinas receive one dollar per day for each day of free care given to charity piatients. ? "There has been a steady escalation in the number of free days," said Mr. Gale. "The unin sured poor, the elderly, and those with catastrophic illnesses ac count for most of the increase. The Endowment's dollar-a-day does not begin to compensate ful ly for the free care, but we're continuing to work in other ways to help close the gap. One such program involves two national services, Hospital Administrative Service (HAS) and Professional Activity Study (PAS), which collect, compare, and distribute statistics in dicating levels of efficienty as well as areas needing improve ment. All participating hospitals receive data on their individual performances." One of the nation's largest private foundations, the 1984 market value of the Endow ment's assets was approximate ly $550 million. Since 1924, trustees have awarded grants totaling over $685 million to the beneficiaries selected by James B. Duke. Grants appropriated during 1984 totaled over $38 million.

The movie, based on Margaret Mitchell's Civil War novel, is about the loves of the tempestuous Southern belle Scarlet O'Hara and explores the spectacle of the Civil War as well as the legendary American South. Directed by Victor Fleming with screenplay by Sidney Howard, Vivien Leigh comes alive on screen as Scarlet, who uses her demure charms, yet crafty wiles to achieve success in all her many schemes. Only Clark Gable, as the in famous Rhett Butler seems able to handle Scarlet, matching her charm and wile infinitely.

It was something you had to avoid doing; but not now, not with the new extended wear contact lenses. You can leave the new contacts in place for days or even weeks and sleep in comfort. When you awake you will see clearly because the corrective lenses are still in place. No more groping around with blurred vision until you put on your contocts. The new contacts have other advantages, such as softness and suppleness. Another change is the high water content which allows increased amounts of oxygen to reach your eyes. This also helps you maintain good eye health. Whether you weor glasses or old style contact lenses, you may want to switch to the new extended wear contacts because of the advantages they offer. Ask your eye doctor about them. LEARY BROS.

THE LION HEART Jordan Plaza (Next to Southgate Mall) Tests ( Continued from ptge 1) In 1982-83, several test items were field tested with selected sixth and ninth graders. During the 1983-84 school year, ninth grade students throughout the state were asked to do per suasive writing and sixth graders descriptive writing. This year, sixth graders were asked to write a clarification composition and ninth grades wrote a point of view composition. Since the writing tasks were different, direct statistical com parisons of sixth and ninth graders' scores cannot be made, according to William Brown, special assistant for research with the Department of Public Instruction. Brown is encouraged that a higher proportion of students are meeting the upper criterion and fewer students are scoring at the lowest level on the tests. Since this writing test requires sophisticated writing skills it is likely to remain a challenge for most students, Brown added. In the ninth grade, almost 42 percent of the students wrote well enough to score at or above the mid-point of 2.5 and four par cent scored at the top of the scale. Only 30 percent scored 1.0 or 1.5. Results revealed that almost 32 percent of the sixth grade students wrote well enough to score at or above the mid-point of 2.5 on the four-point scoring scale in writing composition. Approximately four percent of these sixth graders received top of the scale scores of 3.5 or 4.0 and about 34 percent scored 1.0 or 1.5. A score of 1.0 indicates on ly that the writer has read the question and attempted to res pond but with only the barest of detail. A score of 4.0, however, in dicates a strong command of writing skills. A separate score on the tests was given for the correct use of accepted English conventions, including the writer's ability to write complete sentences, to demonstrate appropriate usage of the language, and to use ap propriate spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. 3 Steps In Buying| A Home 1 .
