Pag* lOC-KlNGS MOUNTAIN HEHALD-TuMaay. D«;*mb*r 22, 1981 i ii Christmas Books At Library By MARYIANE CARBO This column is the first in a series of weekly and, I hope, in formative reports from the Mauney Memorial Library. What will you see in this col umn? We will, of course, tell you about some of the exciting new additions to our growing collec tion. There will be reviews of , books by the library staff and :• patrons. Watch, too, for news , about library programs and ac- i;tivities, such as Story time for :■ Preschoolers upcoming in :• January. You will also find valuable in formation on how you, with a little help from your public library, can learn to do almost anything from digging a well to saving money on your taxes. You know, the public library is one of those few public institu tions for which we pay taxes that gives back much more than our dollars worth. Last year alone, the Mauney Memorial Library saved the Kings Mountain public more than $142,800 just by circulating books which, otherwise, you would have had to buy. Well, the holidays are upon us and the public library likes to celebrate too! We have a varied selection of Christmas books at your disposal. For children, there is the every popular Tha Night Beior* Christmas by Clement C. Moore. Or, for those children who like more modern stories, there’s James Stevenson’s The Night After Christmas. Those adults who like a dash of history during the Yuletide season will enjoy Christmas in Williamsburg, which traces, in words and delightful photographs, the Christmas customs of the col onial era. And if you are still G-W Receives Grant A $143,060 grant from the Kate B. Reynold’s Health Care Trust in Winston-Salem has been awarded to Gardner-Webb College for the establishment of a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. This announcement was made Monday morning by Dr. Craven p. Williams, president of Gardner-Webb College. After a year long feasibility study the need for the Baccalaureate Pro gram was firmly established. Presently, there is no ADN/RN/BSN program in North Carolina. This program will result in the first full profes sional school for Gardner-Webb. Garder-Webb College’s nurs ing program currently offers an Associate Degree in Nursing. The new program will continue the two-year ADN plus a two- year continuation program leading to a BSN. ' Socks and Hose for Xmas! Ployboy - Spalding - University - K.M.H.S.

They either hold diplomas in nursing or associate degrees and want the BSN,” said Shirley Toney, director of the nursing or associate degrees and want the BSN,” said Shirley Toney, director of the nursing program at Gardner-Webb. She continued, “By 1985, a four year degree may be a requirement for entry into profession nursing. Along with an interest in fur thering their education, students are looking for increased salaries, more opportunities for employ ment, increased skills, and preparation for graduate study. With the “two plus two” pro gram, registered nurses and other students will be able to ob- tian a basic education in nursing with an option to continue for the baccalaureate degree. We feel confident that the strong academic program of the Col lege, and the excellent clinical facilities in the area will con tribute to a quality baccalaureate curriculum.” A phenomenon which has received much attention is the nursing shortage. In the Southern region, there are only 450 registered nurses per 100,000 population while the na tional ratio is 550 per 100,000. ‘The shortage of RN’s has come about by openings of various work opportunities as , the military, doctor’s offipes and ” industrial nursing that nurses have only been able to explore in the last few years,” commented Paul Ellison, director of Cleveland Memorial Hospital. Ellison said that many RN’s are seeking to upgrade their clinical and administrative skills because of increasing demands on their roles to be involved more with budgets, personnel management, government laws and rules and the accreditation of hospital standards. He cited that Gardner-Webb College’s (two plus two) program will provide a re-entry level for nurses who want to obtain a four-year degree. As more hospitals utilize the team nursing and primary nurs ing methods of paitient care, it will be important to have RN’s in leadership roles who can plan and implement comprehensive care for the patient. Several area hospital directors expressed a desire for their head nurses and supervisory personnel to obtain baccalaureate preparation and stated that the BSN would likely be an important qualification for RN’s who they hire for ad ministrative duties. The Kate B. Reynolds Health Care Trust was created in 1946 through provisions in the will of Mrs. William N. Reynolds for the purpose of improving health care to the people of North Carolina. The trusts awards ap proximately $1.5 million annual ly in grants to non-profit organizations throughout the state. Its current program in terest areas are access to primary heaLth care, alternative delivery systems which offer improved health care and/br economy, and illness preventionTiealth promo tion. Gardner-Webb is a liberal arts College affiliated with the Bap tist State Convention of N.C. of fering Associate, Bachelor, and Master’s degrees. The College is noted for its independence of federal funding and promotion of the free enterprise system.

Whether you're 25 or 55, now's the time to start putting away tax-deductible dollars.

And obviously, we at First Union would like to talk with you about this possibility. We believe the money you accumulate in your Individual Retirement Account could be one of the most impor tant parts of your retirement planning. And because this is a long-range investment, you'll want to establish your IRA with a secure, experienced financial insti tution. That's where we come in. At First Union, we've been suc cessfully handling financial trans actions and investments for more than 70 years. And we'd like to put this loiowledge and ability to work for you and your children. So if you have any questions at all about IRA's, stop by any First Union office. Wi5i an IRA you can't start too soon, no Substantud interest penalty required for early withdrawal.
