There will be BBQ, hot dogs and all the trimmings. Ac- tivities will include horseshoe pitching, putt putt golf, volleyball, and a softball game which will consist of all employees, medical statt and trustees. Paycheck stuffers will let employees know that “You're the Caring Kind.” “We could not serve the community without the com- munity’s support,” said Howard, “and the dedicated ef- fort of all our employees. Na- tional Hospital Week 1984 is a celebration of both our employees and the community. Only by working together can we truly be the Caring Kind.” National Hospital Week is sponsored each year by the American Hospital Association and its 6,300 member hospitals to foster better communication and understanding ‘between hospitals and their patients, employees and the com- munities they serve. Shriners Paper Sale Scheduled From Page 1-A In 1983, 16,633 new applica- tions were approved by the 22 hospitals. Since the incepiton of Shriners Hospitals, more than 17,345,008 patient days have been recorded in the 18 or- thopedic units and 452,991 pa- tient days in the three burn in- stitutes. In 1983, the average length of stay ofr orthopedic patients was 20 days and for acute burn pa- tients 24 days. Since 1922, the Shrine of North Carolina has spent ap- proximately $756 million operating Shriners hospitals and approximately $134 million on construction costs. President Tindall said, “We stand ready to take any child regardless of race, creed or color who needs the help of our hospitals.” Applications for admission to Shriners hospitals may be obtain- ed from any Shriner or from Oasis Temple, 321 South Tryon Street, Charlotte, N.C. 28202. Ninety-eight cents of every dollar raised by the Shriners goes to their hospitals. They receive no federal, state or local govern- ment funds. President Tindall pointed out with the high cost of health care that these hospitals which have never charged one cent for treat- ment, are even more important than ever. The local Shriners invite all members of the community to help them in their most worthy cause by purchasing a paper from them this week. Anyone who knows of a burn- ed or crippled child that needs treatment, contact any member of the White Plains Shrine Club. In cooperation with the local Shrine effort, Mayor John Henry Moss has proclaimed Thursday through Sunday as Shrine Hospital Weekend in Kings Mountain. The proclama- tion reads: “Whereas, the members of Oasis Temple, which is over 14,000 strong in 46 Western North Caroina counties, annual- ly helps support 19 Shriners Hospitals for Crippled Children and three burn institutes in North American; and “Whereas, the Shriners have never charged anyone for ser- vices in these institutions, and “Whereas, the White Plains Shrine Club members aid this cause locally each year, and “Wehreas, Oasis Temple an- nually holds a Shrine Newspaper sale to benefit these institutions, and Whereas, the White Plains Shrine Club will sell these newspapers on May 3,4, 5 and 6 in Kings Mountain for this wor- thy cause; Now, therefore, I, John Henry Moss, Mayor of the City of Kings Mountain, declare that these dates be know as “Shrine Hospital Weekend” in Kings Mountain, and urge local citizens to support this cause.” Police Chief Bob Hayes looks on during Hamrick’s trial before the hanging judge. » PLEASE, YOUR HONOR - Judge Jim Dickey.

Pam Jones, tenth grader at KMSHS and a former cancer pa- tient, manned the telephones and made pictures of each jailbird for the Cancer Society scrapbook. As many as eight jailbirds were on telephone lines at one time in the large jail built of lumber and locked by ar- resting officers.
