HULLENDER from page 1 Active in Bethlehem Baptist Church, Bob has been a volunteer fireman in the Bethlehem Fire De- partment for 28 years. “There were only a couple of houses on Bethlehem Road when we built our new home in the Bethlehem Community and now ours is one of the most growing areas of the county,” said Hullender. Expansion of the ru- ral routes in Kings Mountain is evidence of the growth of the ur- ban section. The post office now has 10 rural routes, compared to three when Bob first joined the KMPO and eight city carriers instead of four. “I’ve been part of a lot of changes at the local post office,” said Bob, noting that he started to work in the old building across from Central Methodist Church and has seen an expansion of equipment and services in the new building on Gold Street. State of the art equipment now sorts the mail for each carrier who individually cases it to go out to the individual homes in the com- munity. This process speeds up the mail and gets the postman out of the building and on the street faster. Bob recalls the days when all mail men walked the routes, from the post office and back every day and regardless of the weather. The dress code has also changed. Bob also recalled the days when the mail man wore a tie with his long pants and but- ton down collar shirts and a po- lice style hat. Now in the hot sum- mer months the mail man wears cool knit shirts with Bermuda shorts and a ball cap. “It’s a far cry from the old ° days,” said Hullender. “We left the post office walk- ing and couldn’t carry all the mail with us so we got relay boxes on our routes by truck,” he said. Bob said he plans to return for visits to his co-workers. He plans to spend more time with the grandchildren and to complete some “honey do” chores for his wife that have been put on hold for some time. “It will be different but I think I will enjoy retirement,” said Hullender. E. COLI from page 1 complete and is ongoing. “We are still analyzing data and talking to both well and sick people,” said Stallings. Stallings said the initial inves- tigation ‘had included reports of people eating at three different restaurants with a majority say- ing they had take out dinners on the same day at the same place of fried flounder, slaw, potato and tartar sauce before getting sick. “We are even looking at the time of day that the patients ate,” she said. Interviews are continuing by staff members. “It’s not over yet, although there are no new outsets,” said Stallings. Three to eight days is the incubation period for the bac- teria. “It doesn’t take a lot of bacte- ria to make you sick and every person’s immune system is differ- ent,” said Stallings. She said the elderly and young are particu- larly susceptible to the infection. The health department con- ‘ducted ‘a mandatory workshop “for all” county restaurant owners and employees about proper food handling and personal hygiene Friday at the health department. The E. coli infection is believed 104-322-6214 AAAI oR \usesi@s, 18998 JANUARY 7, 1939 Subscribe to the Kings Mountain Herald Fall Registration Spring Registration: to be caused from germs ingested usually through undercooked meat, unpasteurized milk and contaminated water, including swimming pools. Bloody diarrhea and severe abdominal pain are the main warning signs and most people recover in a week, however, E. coli sometimes causes serious, even life-threatening complica- tions and people with symptoms should see a doctor. Health offi- cials warn against the use of Lomotil, a prescription anti- diarrheal medication and the over the counter Imodium. How can you avoid getting sick? Health officials say you should wash your hands fre- quently, especially before eating or handling food. All foods, par- ticularly meats, should be cooked thoroughly and handled with clean utensils and served hot. Mrs. Stallings said while food is the most likely link, the health department isn’t ruling out any- thing. She said people can also be infected through contact with oth- ers by failing to wash théir hands after using the bathroom and touching food or other people.
