Hospital
Auxiliary
To Meet
Kings Mountain Hospital
has invited area residents to
participate in a reorganiza-
tional meeting of the hospital
auxiliary on Thursday, Oc-
" tober 16 at 10 a.m. in the
hospital cafeteria. Huitt
Reep, administrator; Ron
Bagwell, director of nursing
and Marilyn Neisler, presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees
will make presentations; a
film will be shown; there will
be refreshments and a tour of
the hospital. All persons in-
terested in being a hospital
volunteer are urged to attend
the meeting.
Kings Mountin Hospital is
reorganizing the auxiliary,
not only because the hospital
has many ways in which a
volunteer can assist and help
the hospital to be more pro-
ductive, but because it wants
to give the community an op-
portunity to become more in-
volved inthe hospital.
If anyone is interested in
helping but cannot come to
the October 16 meeting, they
\ are asked to call Barbara
Perry at the hospital at
739-3601, extension 109.

JH Social Studies Classes
Go On Field Trip To Raleigh
By RIVERS SMITH
Report cards went out this
week at the Junior High. Anx-
Sty was high and sweaty
ms ran throughout as the
omeroom teachers passed
out the cards.
The social studies classes
of the Junior High went on a
jeld trip to Raleigh last Fri-
day. Three chartered buses
were taken. The students
oured the History Museum,
the Governor’s Mansion, the
State House, and the
Legislative Building. Thanks
to Senator Ollie Harris,
students were allowed to eat
lunch in the Legislative
Building cafeteria. Students
would also like to personally
thank all the teachers who
went on the field trip as
chaperones for without their
help the trip wouldn’t have
been the success it was.
The students at the junior
high are selling candy bars
this year. These are big,
creamy, chocolate candy
bars with big brown almonds
in them.
During her 20 hours a week
in the Sterile Supply Depart-
ment, Miss George has been
learning many different
types of jobs. “I've been
taught the special way you
have to wrap instruments
that go into the sterilizer
before they go to surgery,”
she said, “and I'm learning
things about business and
people that I'm sure will help
me in years to come.”
The main duties of a cen-
tral service department are
to sterilize and distribute
medical equiment and sup-
plies ‘to nursing units,
emergency rooms and inten-
sive care units; to order all
supplies «and fo. document, -
process and distribute all in-
coming equipment and sup-
plies. These responsibilities
are central to the smooth and
efficient operation of the
hospital and require highly
skilled professionals, such as
those at Kings Mountain
Hospital.
“We are really the hub of
the hospital,”’ said Manager
Annie Putnam, ‘‘as just about
everythng coming into the
hospital comes by us. It’s a
real challenge keeping up,
sometimes, so we especially
appreciate the Cooperative
Home Economics Program
and Cindy George.”
Kings Mountain Hospital is
a 35-year-old, not-for-profit
institution, owned by
Cleveland County and
governed by a Board of
Trustees. Huitt Reep is ad-
ministrator.
