DR. BURRELL WOOD of Furman 

University and Dr. Sam Fisher 

of General Hospital shivered in 

the pre-dawn cold on a Nevada 

[hillside opposite Survival Town, 

'U. S. A., two mornings recently, 

only to have their hopes dashed 

' of seeing an atomic explosion. 

Both the chemistry professor 

and the hospital radiologist finally 

could stay no longer in Las 

Vegas and flew back to Greenville. 

Here, in their own homes 

before their own television sets' 

one morning last week, they 

watched what they had gone nearly 

across the continent to see. 

'.'Yes. it was impressive," Dr. 

Wood says of the TV version. 

"Particularly so because everything 

looked very familiar. We 

had walked right through Survival 

Town and had seen its houses 

and mannikins." 

Dr. Fisher who had "sweated 

out" the blast two mornings on 

that "freezing cold" hillside side 

I by side with Dr. Wood, likewise 

ifound the TV showing very mean- 

[ ingf ul. 

I After visiting Survival Town 

and being briefed on what to expect, 

they were twice driven in 

buses 80 miles from Las Vegas 

to the bomb test site. Both times 

the wind direction would not permit 

a safe radiation fallout pattern. 

Dr. Wood says the people running 

the show were "soft hearted" 

enough one morning to permit 

them to remain in the buses 

for part of the waiting period. 

Dr. Wood calls the AEC program 

"insurance." He and Dr. 

Fisher went representing the 

state civil defense organization.

Nurses Contribute 

Much Toward Community Welfare 

Q 'pportunltu 

^Jo J5e 

erve 

By JEAN LAYTON 

Graduote nurses in Greenville are finding that the 

opportunities open to them for service to the community 

are unlimited. 

Hospital duty itself is now offering fields of specialization: 

obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, and geriatrics 

are only a few. If a graduate prefers, she may go into 

public health, office work, private duty or industrial 

nursing. 

Institutions draw by far the majority of trained 

nurses here, as in every city. An enlarged Greenville 

General Hospital, St. Francis and Shriners Hospitals and 

Hopewell are staffed by highly qualified registered 

nurses, many of whom received their "R.N." from the 

Greenville General Hospital of Nursing. Donaldson Air 

Force Base Hospital employs 13 civilian nurses in addition 

to its military personnel. 

Public health nurses include those connected with 

the County and the City Health Deportments, making 

their services available in scheduled clinics and home 

visits. Administration of the Salk polio vaccine is an example 

of community work requiring the training and experience 

of the public health nurse. 

Seldom does a sizeable industrial plant open in the 

Piedmont section without hiring a registered nurse, for 

its own protection and that of its employes. On-the-job 

injuries can be severely damaging to all parties. A fulltime 

nurse is necessary in a modern plant not only to 

render first aid but to record the health conditions of 

new employes. 

The practice of a medical doctor opens another 

Avenue to the graduate.— that of office nurse. She may 

be called upon to double as receptionist, bookkeeper or 

secretary. There may be others to handle these jobs. In 

any case, the office nurse may prefer this type of work 

to that in a larger organization. The requirements are 

essentially the same in ability, personality and ethics. 

In private duty, the modern Florence Nightingale 

must not only care for sick members of the family but 

also fit herself into the group under abnormal circumstances 

in the home — calling for utmost tact and adjustability/ 

Here again to perform her task she must 

often be several "people" at once: nurse, homemaker 

and sometimes cook.

Council Repeals Fluoridation Law, 

Sets Ambulance Fare, Airs Protest 

By H. OLIN SHELTON 

Fluoridation of the Greenville 

water supply was voted out 

unanimously by City Council last 

night. 

The ordinance to repeal an ordinance 

which began the process 

was placed on the agenda by Alderman 

Walter L. Miller Jr. 

The City Hall Council Chamber 

was crowded with citizens interested 

in the fluoridation question 

and in a petition concerning a 

church on Frank St. 

Prior to the repeal of the fluoridation 

ordinance, Dr. Louis G. 

Williams addressed Council on 

what he termed a "losing battle." 

He said the recent advisory referendum 

was carried by only a 

slight majority of the anti-fluoridation 

forces and indicated it was 

unfortunate that those who would 

benefit from the water treatment, 

the children, had no voice in the 

matter. 

He said the opposition force's 

battle was waged with "distortion, 

mistruths, and homemade critics." 

Dr. Williams said tbe fluoridation 

question should never have 

been placed in a referendum. He 

described it as a scientific matter 

which should have been debated 

by competent scientists and not 

laymen. 

"You have made the question 

of fluoridation a political battle," 

he added, and observed that people 

did not vote on the law of 

gravity. 

He indicated the matter was not 

settled and mentioned the possi 

bility of reopening the question 

for voting by all who use Greenville 

water. 

He said the people he represented 

were sincere and he did not 

think it right for Dr. Williams to 

question their actions. 

Dr. Williams answered that he 

had not questioned the sincerity 

of the persons but believed them 

to be misguided. 

"Democracy works best when 

based on truth," Dr. Williams 

added. 

A motion to suspend the rules 

for the purpose of placing the ordinance 

on three readings for 

passage was made by Alderman 

Miller and seconded by Dr. Powe. 

Mr. Miller explained that he,

Young Pianist Appears On 

Road To Second Success 

By SAM ZIMMERMAN 

John Henry Hunter who has al 

ready attained success in one field 

seems certain to become equally 

successful in a second. 

Mr. Hunter, concert pianist who 

appeared in a recital Thursday 

night at Sterling High School 

seems to have justified the faith 

in his ability held by those Greenville 

people who assisted him in 

furthering his musical training 

after graduating from Sterling in 

1947. 

An ex-Marine, he is at present 

a student at Chicago's American 

Conservatory of Music. After he 

appeared in a recital at the Fine 

Arts Building there recently, 

critics predicted a promising career 

for Mr. Hunter as a concert 

pianist. 

However, he seems to be equally 

as proud of his record as an 

accountant. He incidentally carries 

a full time job as a civilian 

worker with the Army, having 

studied accounting at Depaul University 

along with other academic 

work. 

He is now a senior at the Con 

servatory, needing only 25 hours 

for graduation. 

Mr. Hunter was recalled to the 

Marine Corps in 1949 and was 

stationed in Hawaii. 

There, aside from being able 

to continue his studies at the University 

of Hawaii, he sang in the 

St. Andrews Cathedral Choir, the 

only Negro 1 in the group. 

He also played for two Marine 

and civilian-manned radio stations 

as choir master, and gave six 

concerts at bases in the area. 

However, he recalls the top ex-! 

perience as being the organist at' 

the only Jewish Holiday in Hon-i 

olulu at Fort Derussa in 1951. 

Mr. Hunter says Mrs. Abbie 

Chappell, late principal of Oscar • 

School, who began his musical 

training, Prof, miliary Hatcher 

who taught him at Sterling, and 

Mrs. E. L. McPherson, as persons 

contributing to his climb. 

He feels that Mrs. McPherson 

prepared him to enter the Conservatory, 

and that Dr. and Mrs. 

McPherson aided him financially 

in 1949 when his training under the 

G.I. Bill ran out. 

The son of the late Mrs. Teretha 

Williams, of 212 Lindberg Ave., 

Mr. Hunter is married and the 

father of a boy and girl, 2 and 3 

years of age. He and his familv 

are visiting an aunt Miss Rebecca 

J. Williams, of 213 N. Leach St. 

The family is also visiting the 

parents of Mrs. Hunter who live 

at Simpsonville. 

As to the future Mr. Hunter, 

who feels that a degree is not 

too important, plans to work 

on piano techniques until he feels 

that he is a finished performer..

AWAITS FURTHER WORD 

Greenville NAACP 

Delays School Move 

By DAN M. FOSTER ^ U r l *' ^ l * 5 * 

The Greenville Branch of the National Assn. for Advancement 

of Colored People decided yesterday to await word from "higher 

headquarters" before making any move on the school integration 

issue. 

In its first meeting since the' 

Supreme Court's latest decree, the! 

only resolution adopted by the lo-j 

cal branch on this matter was to' 

have a meeting of three of its | 

committees. This meeting is designed 

to give the group an "informational 

report." 

Thirty-two members attended 

the meeting at Allen Temple AME 

Church. Discussion of the Supreme 

Court's latest decree consumed 

about half of the two-hour 

session. 

The decision to await word from 

its state headquarters in Columbia 

was not an official resolution. 

Most of the members who led 

floor discussions favored this 

plan, and it was unofficially 

adopted since no contradicting motion 

was made. 

A motion was carried to call a 

joint meeting of the executive, education 

and legal redress committees. 

No time was set, but indications 

were that the Rev. E. J. 

Green, president, would call it in 

tho near future. 

The plan is for the joint committee 

to report its findings on the 

integration decision and advise the 

group. 

J. H Ledbetter. chairman of the 

education committee, waived a 

planned meeting of his own group 

in favor of bringing the three 

groups together. 

He said, "The education com-! 

mittee has no intention of doing 

anything on this matter on its! 

own. Anything that is done should: 

be approved by the membership! 

of our whole group." 

S. 0. Walker, second vice president, 

cautioned the group, "We 

should not take any action until 

we know where we stand, what 

(he ins and outs of the situation 

are, and where we are going." 

Donald James Sampson, chairman 

of the legal redress committee, 

told members. "It is our duty 

to be informed of what is going 

on and what the problems are." 

He suggested the NAACP probably 

would guide any action toward 

gaining integration on a 

"very wide and uniform basis." 

Observers said the attendance 

at yesterday's first "post decree" 

meeting was only slightly more 

than for the average twice-monthly 

meetings. 

The local branch normally 

meets on the first and third Sundays 

of each month. The meeting 

for the third Sunday of this month 

was cancelled because of conflicting 

programs elsewhere involving 

some of the members. 

Mrs. H. W. D. Stewart, secretary, 

said suggestions probably 

would come from tbe state headquarters 

in Columbia in the near 

* fulure, after this group had received 

suggestions from the national 

headquarters in New York, 

Mrs. Stewart said there were 

i about 500 members of lhe Greenville 

NAACP Branch. It is in its 

i 30th year here, having been chartered 

in 1925.

Jervey, Greenville ophthalmologist, 

for membership in the American 

Ophthalmological Society was 

announced yesterday at the luncheon 

meeting of the Greenville Uotary 

Club in the Poinsett Hotel 

ballroom. 

Dr. J. D. Guess made the an-; 

nouncement of Dr. Jervey's acceptance 

in the society which has 

a membership limited to 200. He 

said Dr. Jervey's membership in 

tjje society resulted from its acceptance 

of a thesis of original 

scientific research submitted by 

Dr. Jervey at the society's request. 

" Dr. Jervey's thesis, on wliich 

Jie had been working; for over 

two years, was one of three accepted 

by the society. 

Dr. Guess' announcement preceded 

the regular program of the 

club in the Poinsett Hotel ballroom 

at which William B. Poole, 

district governor of Rotary, and 

Sapp Funderburk, president-elect 

of- the local club, reported on the 

recent 50th anniversary convention 

of Rotarv held in Chicago. 

ROTARY MEMBERS 

-Mr. Poole reported that in tbe 

past five years the average number 

of new members of Rotary in 

tj-ie United States has been 2.169. 

while this year a record of 6.934 

new members was established. 

New clubs organized were up from 

an average of 3.3 to 71 for this 

year in the United States. Mr. 

Poole said the theme for the coming 

year would be "More Rotary 

and Men." He cited the extension 

of Rotary through the addition of 

new clubs in cities which already 

bad Rotary as a possibility for 

even more expansion in the year 

to come. 

Mr. Funderburke in reporting 

on the convention stressed the 

"excellent job done" by Mr. 

Poole in the past year as district 

governor. "He placed the District 

of South Carolina among the 

top 10 in tbe country," Mr. Funderburke 

said.

ABOUT VEGETABLE FLOWERS 

Dr. John K. Webb's fine vegtf* 

• table garden at 140 Mountain View 

lAve. is attracting 'along with 

'birds and insects) attention these 

days. ... Dr. Webb says he pre-! 

iters the vegetable flowers to the] 

j cultivated ones in the flower gar-| 

| dens, and he has a point there. | 

I was out just a little while ago 

iooking at my chives blooms, and 

they are lovely delicate little 

mauve colored pompoms ... the 

garlic blossom is very striking 

looking too on a tall green stem 

. . . radish blossoms are as pretty 

as baby's breath and come in pink 

and white. . . . Squash blossoms 

have their beauty as they shine 

like yellow stars from the large 

green leaves . . . pumpkin flowers 

are pretty too, also okra, looking 

almost like the Florida hibiscus 

. . . tomato blossoms are very delicate 

and beautiful, having eight 

points, a pale lemon yellow, and 

smelling like green tomatoes (but 

don't tell you know who that I' 

picked a tomato flower just to 

examine and write about it!) . . .'. 

and of course everybody knows 

about the lovely artichoke flower, 

probably the most satisfactory of 

all vegetable flowers because they 

can be cut and put in a vase. . . . 

If you have a preference for vegetable 

flower do write in about it.

Fashion and fun will be mass 

produced next week when 

Greenville Jay-C-Ettes, a 11

with their husbands for the U. 

S. Junior Chamber of Commerce

After this state's Jaycees decided 

to march through Georgia 

in Bermuda shorts, the auxiliary 

women wouldn't be outdone. 

This is one time that at 

least 13 young women in Greenville 

and numerous other Jay- 

C-Ettes all over South Carolina 

won't mind showing up for a 

social occasion in outfits exactly 

like the ones their friends are 

wearing. 

Right this minute dressmakers 

from here to Charleston are 

sewing the finishing touches — 

two rows of white buttons — 

from top to bottom of neat halter 

top dresses. The Jay-C-Ettes 

selected navy for their frocks,. 

Greenville Jaycee president-elect B. B. Owings and Mrs. 

/ Owings, retiring president of Jay-C-Ettes. are wearing tbe outfits 

which will distinguish South Carolina Jayces and their wives during 

the national JCC convention in Atlanta next week. This is the 

first year that South Carolina delegates have chosen a standard 

costume. (Piedmont photo.) \Tnn&* 9S~, / *? S&

Judgment against him in the auto

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals 

yesterday reversed a deci-l 

sion of the United States District 

Court in Spertanburg that ordered j 

Smith to pay $25,000 to the estate 

of Jettie I. Biggs. 

Biggs was killed on U.S. 29 near 

Spartanburg the night of Nov. 18, 

1953, when hit by a car driven by 

Dr. Smith. 

The Circuit Court held that the 

negligence of Biggs—he was wearing 

dark clothing—contributed to 

his death. The court also said that 

a pedestrian, particularly at night, 

has the responsibility of being alert 

to traffic. J W e /g, /9S$~

Visitors From 

' ^ t ^ ' 

DR. AND MRS. J. WARREN WHITE 

Welcomed visitors in Greenville are Dr. and Mrs. J. Warren 

White of Honolulu, Hawaii, who lived here for many years when 

• Dr. White was chief surgeon at Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children. 

In Honolulu, he is chief surgeon of a similar hospital and is 

associated with a private clinic. He and Mrs. White are visiting 

friends and will foe met here today by their son, Gilbert 11. White 

of W. Palm Beach, Fla., Mrs. White and their daughters, Robin 

Lee, four, and Debbie, one. The surgeon and his wife will leave 

Chicago for Honolulu by plane July 5. They showed color pictures 

-of Honolulu and Mrs. White spoke yesterday to members of the 

Woman's Club. They are wearing native-made leis.—(Photo by

Dr., Mrs, White Greeted 

By Large Gathering Here 

WOMAN'S CLUB MEMBERS and 

a number of guests filled the 

main auditorium and overflowed 

into the hall and drawing room 

at 1 Beattie PL Friday morning 

to hear Mrs. Warren White, 

here from Oahu on a brief visit, 

speak. She said the largest 

church in Honolulu is a Mormon 

Temple and that there are several 

Buddhist temples in the great 

jcity where the former Greenviljlians 

now make their home, 

j It came as something of a surprise 

to many in the audience 

that there were so many of the 

latter, that they were so large 

; and beautiful. 

| Dr. and Mrs. White showed picjtures 

of Hawaii at Friday morning's 

activity day arranged unider 

the direction of Mrs. R. E. 

[Houston, chairman. 

There was a commercial film, 

! produced by the sugar planters, 

which showed how the islands 

were formed as well as many of 

their most interesting features. 

There were also a number of 

slides which the Whites had made 

themselves and which they collaborated 

in explaining to the 

large audience. 

Many of these were of friends 

[and acquaintances from the 

["Mainland" who had recently visited 

there. 

• * * 

They Were There 

IT WAS SOMEWHAT surprising 

to me to realize how* many in 

the audience were quite familiar 

with all the pictures shown. For 

instance, when one of the pictures 

showed a hand kneading 

some special 

kind of bread 

which Mrs. White 

described as delicious 

if you 

liked it. Mrs. W. 

'0. Groce said 

j she didn't think 

'so because she 

j didn't — like it, 

that is. 

Mrs. Forrest 

-Abbott, just back 

1 from Hawaii aft- " POLLY 

er a stay of several weeks there, 

was in complete agreement about 

the extravagant beauty of the 

vegetation. Mrs. White had 

brought a great box of cultivated 

orchids which she distributed 

to friends as long as they last- 

•ed. * 

Just this spring the Waddy R. 

Thomsons and the J. D. Todds 

were also in Hawaii for a visit 

and Dr. White made some excellent 

pictures of them. 

Mrs. John T. Lucius, who had 

1visited the Whites in Honolulu, 

'was in the audience. She is just 

back from a motor trip to New 

England, but getting ready to 

j'*take off" again—literally, that 

lis, since she is flying with her 

'daughter, Ann, to Jamaica for 

a week's vacation. Ann, you will 

recall, will be married in the late 

• summer to Clarke McCants Jr. 

of Columbia. 

] One of the leis which she 

i brought with her, she placed on 

that noted author and her friend, 

.Mary Simms Oliphant, and gave 

her a true Hawaiian greeting by 

j kissing her soundly on both cheeks. 

That far-away tropical isle 

really furnishes the flowers, hut 

none so beautiful, according to 

Mrs. White's own statement as, 

the glamelia which fashioned thei 

corsage which she was presented' 

here Friday. 

The Whites literally live on top 

of the world in Honolulu. Their 

house is on such a steep point 

that Dr. White had to climb one 

of the Park and Tree commission 

ladders in order to get a picture 

of it from above. The view 

which they have from their 

lanai (hope that's the way to spell 

it) catches the far horizon. La- 1 

nai is another word for patio.

Reception 

THE MORNING BEGAN with 

a reception for Mrs. White. Receiving 

were Mrs. John M. 

Holmes, president of the club. 

Mrs. John H. Bateman, the first ^ 

president, Mrs. White, Mrs. Mc-I 

Murry Wilkins, president of the 1 

Medical Auxiliary, and Mrs. Dixon 

F. Pearce, chairman of the 

board of trustees of the club. 

Mrs. David Wilson invited 

the guests into the dining room 

where the other members of 

the Medical Auxiliary were In 

charge. Mrs. Warren C. Schulze 

saw that the visitors got their 

plates which they served from 

a beautifully appointed table, 

and Mrs, W. W. Edwards and 

Mrs. M. Nachman presided at j 

the punch bowl. 

The decorations featured shas-i 

ta daisies and white gladioli. 

As Mr. Roosevelt said about 

America's recovery from the depression, 

Mrs. Houston may have 

planned Friday morning's program 

that way, but the net re 

sult was as grand a climax to 

a year's planned activities as one 

could ask.

Point To Gains In Menial 

Health Work And Research 

Although laboratory researchltreat symptoms. 

in psychiatry is behind ,that of The time will come, members of 

other fields, several drugs recent- the advisory 'board of the Mental! 

ly have been developed whichlHealth Clinic, were told today, 

jwhen persons who seem to be; 

hopeless mental cases can get 

;help. 

Dr. I. 0. Brownell, director of 

the clinic, said drugs are finding 

a place and filling a need. 

He cited the case of a schizophrenic 

woman who had temper 

tantrums. Her family was greatly 

disturbed and did not know 

what to do. 

If one of the new drugs had not 

been available, the woman probably 

would have had to spend the 

remainder of her life in the State 

Hospital. 

However, the dcug "worked 

fine", and the woman has had no 

more tantrums and the family situation 

is much better. 

The drugs are not a cure-all 

and do not work in all cases. But 

if they do work on a patient, 

avenues to greater psychiatric 

help is made possible through 

having them discuss their problem. 

Dr. J. J. Nannarello, local psychiatrist, 

said that getting to the 

root of the problem is not always 

possible even with the new drugs. 

He has had experiences with the 

drugs in which they did no good, 

but he has also had positive responses. 

Recently, a young woman was 

to graduate from college and was 

planning to be married shortly 

thereafter, became manic. 

She talked in circles and tore 

her clothes. After three days 

treatment, she was calm, rational 

and reasonable. She also was 

married on schedule. 

The old methods of lobotomy 

and shock still will be used in extreme 

cases probably; yet, the 

new drugs offer hope that these 

methods will have to be used less 

and less. 

Dr. Brownell told of a mental 

hospital in New York which used 

a new drug on patients who had 

been there seven years. After 

treatment, 20 per cent were able 

to return home. 

Though they are expensive, the 

drugs are much cheaper than 

either shock or lobotomy. They 

are also less expensive to the hospital 

in that patients do not have 

(to remain for_ so long when the 

drugs work. Jcê. 2-7, /?

FOURTH IN SERIES 

It is the fourth in a summer 

series designed to acquaint personnel

"We have an overall plan for 

medical care fashioned after existing 

plans such as those used 

by the armed forces" for use in 

an emergency, Dr. Amspacher 

said yesterday. He said the 

Greenville plan is "operational 

and advisory" and "not designed 

wholly for an attack by an 

enemy but also for use in limited 

emergencies."

would deal with such 

matters as public health, treatment 

of casualties and care of 

non-casualties, a blood bank and 

special weapons defense.

Rehabilitation, Not Cost, Is Chief W. C. Concern 

By ROBERT SMELTZER 

Dr. Frank H. Stelling of the 

Shrine's Hospital for Crippled 

j Children here said today that rejhabilitation 

of workingmen is the 

chief concern of doctors and employers 

and that cost of rehabilitation 

should not be considered. 

Dr. Stelling said everything possible 

should be done to restore 

a patient to normal functioning. 

The doctor was the speaker this 

morning at a session of workmen's 

compensation experts holding 

a convention at the Poinsett 

Hotel t- :-° Southern Assn. ot 

Workmen's Compensation Administration 

began its second day this 

morning. 

Dr. Stelling gave his evaluation 

of the functional abilities of various 

sections of the human body 

and related how compensation for 

injuries is made.

termine the percentage of loss of 

function, Dr. Stelling said there, 

is no standard for such determination 

and should be none. 

"Yet every doctor should strive 

for a conclusion of fairness," he 

said. 

Another difficulty in evaluation 

of injuries and disabilities, according 

to the speaker, is that mtdical

Experience With British Medicine Isn't Bad 

LONDON — Some obscure East 

Indian bug bit me where it hurt 

the other day. One minute I am 

looking at some new Rolls-Royces 

and wishing I had one, and the 

next minute I am investigating 

socialized medicine via the St. 

George Hospital here. 

I have heard a lot of raps 

against free medical care in Britain, 

but so far as I am concerned 

1 am impressed. When I keeled 

over they had an ambulance on 

the scene in a matter of minutes, 

and I woke up in a ward with a 

whole fleet of doctors and nurses 

making clucking sounds. 

Despite the fact that I am a 

foreigner. I hit the free list like 

everybody else, including such expensive 

luxuries as electrocardiograms, 

simple surgery, special 

nursing, X-rays, bed, board and 

doctors—even that involved business 

of hooking up a* bunch of 

cathodes to my skull, presumably 

to determine whether I had a 

brain. 

I got plumped down in a bullpen 

containing eight gents of assorted 

ailments, including, one poor chap 

who was staying alive with an 

oxygen tank, and another whose 

left arm had suddenly started to 

wither away for no readily explicable 

reason. It was a little 

By ROBERT C. RUARK 

depressing, maybe, but the service 

was great. 

As far as I could determine, the 

doctors made their special rounds 

to special patients with as much 

interest and time consymption as 

if they -were getting a whacking 

big fee for their trouble. The 

nurses worked harder than any 

specials I ever saw and bullied 

the patients just as hard as at 

home. 

One little gal moved so fast that 

she ran constantly, and slid the 

last six feet into her desk, like 

DiMaggio used to run out a triple. 

There was no feeling of "working" 

for the state"—no consciousness 

of charity at work. 

The hospital fare is nothing to 

brag about, but then I never ate 

any hospital food anywhere that 

wouldn't gag a goat. The difference 

in England is that while they 

furnish the essentials a man must 

provide his own luxuries, such as 

sugar. And if he wants an egg he 

brings it with him, brands it, and 

hands it to nursie to keep for the 

next meal. 

I am occasionally impressed by 

English good fellowship, and in 

this instance I was overwhelmed. 

Since I came in straight off the 

street, I had no egg, no sugar— 

not even any pajamas. Some chap

Another offered me his egg,. Somebody 

else provided the sugar 

for the tea, and another cut me 

in on his private store ot crumpets 

and fruit. 

There was a spirit of cooperation 

between nurse and patient 

that kept reminding me of the 

war. The ambulant patients did 

all sorts of chores of their own 

free will, from passing the tea 

to helping with the beds. Nobody 

asked them—they just seemed 

happy to be doing something. 

There was also a spirit of gentle 

kidding between nurse and patient, 

and of genuine solicitude,. that I 

found touching,. 

Of course I have heard all the 

jokes about free wigs and free 

spectacles and free wooden legs, 

but if socialized medicine works 

as well on a broad scale as it 

worked in the Hope ward, where 

they had me nailed to the sheets, 

then I am not against it.

tell you it is a wonderful thing 

to be able to get into a hospital

one eye in escrow.

qÔ NOTES ABOUT FOLKS^-T 

Miss Lark Schulze of Paris 

Mountain, is at Camp Greystone 

in N. C. for the summer. . . . 

to 12. 

While the modern grocery is 

full of new food products and 

items, it is also full of housewives 

attired in every style 

imaginable. 

It seems that most homemakers 

just don't take the time for 

good grooming—or maybe they 

just don't care how they look. 

For they go to the market in 

every type of outfit from shorts 

to faded brunchcoats. 

Around 10 well — groomed 

housewives showed up at several 

local markets surveyed yesterday 

in two and a half hours. 

They stood .out among the 

other women such as the middle-aged 

one wearing the faded 

brunch coat, white moccasins, 

and socks. 

And they were quite a contrast 

to the young woman who appeared 

in beige slacks, a wrinkled 

blue blouse, a silver mesh 

belt, and tennis shoes. 

Some shoppers wore housedresses 

(without belts) and bedroom 

shoes. Others did their 

shopping barefooted, wearing 

shorts with halter blouses. 

One young woman even showed 

up in a rumpled skirt, yellow 

pajama top, and black 

suede shoes. 

The piajority of the middleaged 

and elderly group wore no 

stockings. However, a few did 

have them rolled under their 

knees. 

Pin curls and no makeup 

were the style of the day, however. 

——there's little 

other mountain news of interest, 

except that there are very 

few blackberries this year, however 

Mrs. Robert Thomason, (to 

be known from now on as the 

mother of the twins Mac and 

Mike,) was out recently picking 

berries and had a goodly amount 

of them. 

55-33 


A few housewives wore scarves 

over their curlers, but most 

just let the bobbie pins show. 

The hair that wasn't rolled up 

was frizzy, straggly, or uncombed. 

When asked his comment on 

the market styles, a clerk simply 

replied, "Lousy." 

Then he added, "That might 

be a nttle strong, but the women 

sure could be r little neater."

SIMPSONVILLE HONORS MAYOR 

Ju./y Xi_ tfSS 

Richardson To Mark 88th Birthday 

By J. WALTON LAWRENCE 

SIMPSONVILLE — Tomorrow, 

Simpsonville and the surrounding 

area will pay homage to a grand 

old man. It is Dr. L. L. Richardson's 

88th birthday. This public 

spirited man has been practicing 

medicine since 1894, and is still 

going out on each call he receives. 

Born in the Hopewell community 

about five miles south of Simpsonville, 

Dr. Richardson spent his boy 

hood in the aftermath of the Civil 

War and Reconstruction Days. He 

got his schooling at Hopewell and 

Standing Springs, and one year 

went to a private school taught 

by a Dr. Kennedy. He attended 

Presbyterian College at Clinton the 

term of 1886-87. 

Following his year at P. C. Dr. 

Richardson worked at various jobs, 

and then attended Emory University 

Medical School, graduating in 

1894. 

Following his graduation from 

Emory, he practiced medicine in 

the Hopewell community for 15 

years, and then moved to Simpsonville, 

where he has remained. 

Tn 1898 he married Miss Burgess 

Rollins of Florence, and to that 

union was born four children- 

Rollins, Dick, Jeff and Evelyn, 

who is now Mrs. Bratton Williams 

of Clemson. 

Foil owing Mrs. Richardson*s 

death, he married Miss Bessie 

Harrison of the Jenkins Bridge 

community. When he began to 

practice, she was a tiny girl—20 

years his junior. To this union was 

born Bruce and Orrin. Bruce died 

some years ago, and at the time 

of his death was a member of the 

faculty of the Medical College of 

Charleston. Orrin, Dick, Jeff and 

Rollins are all in business in Simpsonville. 

For many years. Dr. Richardson 

was the only physician within a 

radius of 10 miles, and did all his 

traveling on horseback. Later he 

got a buggy, but the roads were 

so bad at times that he had to 

resort to his faithful horse and saddle. 

In 1916 he bought his first 

automobile, but he still kept his 

horse for those risky roads.

Thomas Brockman, the brilliant young American pi 

anist, makes his "Telephone Hour" debut tomorrow at 9 

p. m. 

A native of Greenville, Mr. Brockman showed so much 

promise in his early piano studies that he was accepted for 

training at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. Later he 

went on to the Julliard School of Music in New York, 

where he studied with Olga Samaroff. 

, From New York he went to Europe 

where he studied individual ing masters as Robert Casadesus 

[phases of piapo techniques and Edwin Fischer and Nadia Bou 

musical theory with such outstand longer. He began his concert ca 

reer in Europe, and his first tour 

was a great artistic success. Since 

then he has made two other Euro^ 

pean tours, the latest of which 

was completely sold out before he 

ever left this country. 

In this country, Mr. Brockman 

has had time for concert tours 

only in the East and South. He has 

given three recitals in New York: 

each of which has been unanimously 

praised by the critics. He 

has been guest soloist with the 

Philadelphia Orchestra, under 

both Eugene Ormandy and Dmitri 

Mitropoulos, and he has also ap- ( 

peared with the Baltimore and At-!lantic 

Symphonies among others. |

cess of $100,000 provided two conditions 

are met. First, that the; 

property is made revenue produc-j 

ing, and second, that the loan be; 

guaranteed by the Greenville 

County Delegation. 

The Board of Trustees, therefore, 

requests of the Delegation a 

hospital area for visitors to the 

hospital. In addition, it has become 

increasingly apparent that 

our present hospital facilities cannot 

fulfill the needs of Greenville 

County for more than five years 

if the County continues its tremendous 

growth. 

The Board feels that the an- i 

swer to these problems is the 

acquisition of the remaining lots 

in the Hospital Block. 

This purchase will, in the immediate 

present, provide space I 

for parking and, in the future, j 

will provide space for future ex- j 

pansion. 

To give some indication as to 

how Greenville and the Hospital is 

growing, we would like to point 

out the following: 

1. Average Daily Patient Census 

In 1940, the hospital averaged 

200 patients per day. In 1954, this 

had grown to 401. In the first seven 

months of 1955, the daily census 

had increased to 437. 

If this rate of growth continues 

for the next five years, we will 

again have a shortage of hospital: 

ibeds in Greenville County. 

2. Number of Doctors on the 

Staff of the Hospital 

From 1945 - 1955, the number of, 

doctors on the hospital staff in- 1 

creased from 83 to better than 200. j 

At the same rate of increase, we, 

will have more than 300 doctors; 

on the staff in 1965. 

S. Population of Greenville County 

* V } 

In 1955, the estimated population 

iof tbe County is 178,Outpeople. At 

the present rate of increase, the 

population will be some 210,000 in 

1965. 

With this, and other information 

available, it Is obvious that the 

Board of Trustees must act immediately 

in the best interests of the 

Community. 

NO COUNTY FUNDS NEEDED 

The eight remaining lots in the 

hospital block may be purchased 

for a sum not in excess of $100,000. 

It is important to note here that in 

order to complete this transaction, 1 

of | resolution, similar to that passed 

in favor of the Farmers Market, 

guaranteeing to the banks the 

loan made to the hospital and indicating 

your support of this vitally 

important project. 

In conclusion, we would like to 

emphasize the fact that no county 

funds are involved and that this 

letter is simply a request for the 

necessary resolution. 

Your immediate consideration 

will be greatly appreciated.

DIFFICULTIES REPORTED 

Chairman reels 

Stroud Hospital 

Can Meet Debt 

By WILLIAM C. MORRIS 

'" The chairman of the Stroud Memorial Hospital board 

said today that an audit in October should show the hospital 

able to make its payments on a $20,000 loan granted 

by the County Legislative Delegation. 

Melvin L; Jarrard. the chair- The 24-bed hospital at its peak 

man, explained that the loan was.had 14 patients. In recent days, 

to be repaid by crediting costs of the number has been three,to four. 

charity patients at t6e^ Marietta 

"community" hospital. 

According to the ^Wtr^pt. he 

said, the reports of cliarity cases 

were to be made 'annually." The 

hospital will complete its first 

year in October, thus the first 

"annual" accounting will be made 

as,to the amount the hospital can 

repay. It may total more than 

$1,000, he said. 

The chairman made his state-: 

iment after the County Board ofi 

Commissioners yesterday afternoon 

heard reports of dissension! 

among the hospital's staff. 

Mr. Jarrard said efforts had 

, been made to have the county 

' (hospital) investigator inspect the, 

charity records previously, but 

•these were unsuccessful. 

Dr. A. P. Duff and the Rev. 

G. M. Bridwell appeared at the 

commissioners* meeting to discuss 

means of paying or extending the 

loan. 

While it was not clear as to 

what caused the "confusion," as 

Mr. Bridwell described it, these 

were some of the factors reported 

at the meeting: 

1. Religious literature "other, 

than the Bible" reportedly was 

being distributed in the hospital. 

2. Doctors with offices at the 

hospital had been asked to vacate 

space. 

3. One of the doctors. Dr. Duff, 

had disagreed with policies of ad-, 

mitting patients. 

4. An unnamed physician reportedly 

was reading another doctor's 

charts and prescribing for 

the patients. 

5. So many trustees (29) were 

on the board that it was unable 

to function properly. 

Mr. Bridwell said he felt the 

hospital should be a community 

project and that denominational 

differences should be left outside 

when discussing hospital affairs. 

He said the hospital, not quite a 

year old, had been "doing fine" 

until recently, when there was 

["confusion." 

! Chairman Belton R. O'Neall of 

ithe commissioners said the board 

jhad no authority in the matter, 

suggesting it would be up to the 

hospital trustees possibly to reorganize. 

Dr. Duff said he could no longer 

send his patients to the hospital, 

being a Baptist and Mason. 

Another physician active in the 

hospital's work was said to be a 

Catholic. 

Mr. Jarrard said the hospital 

board has tried to steer clear of 

these differences. "We've been in 

the middle," he said and denied 

there was confusion among the 

trustees. 

Mr. Jarrard said the board had 

banned all religious literature at 

the hospital except the Bible. The 

offices were vacated, he explained, 

for economical and space reasons. 

He pointed out that in the determination 

of credit for charity 

cases, the Board of Commissioners 

would make the "final determination," 

according to the 

contract. 

Mr. Jarrard explained that the 

charity records had not yet been 

"properly approved," but he felt 

that enough charity credit would 

show in October to put the hospital 

in good standing as to the debt. 

The hpspital was started in 1951 

as a church and community project. 

Board members, after a recent 

reorganization, are elected to 1 

four or six year terms by the 

public. Mr. Jarrard described the 

organization as similar to tbe 

Greenville General Hospital's.

HOSPITAL TRUSTEES PROPOSE 'GOOD DEAL' 

The land purchase proposal 

submitted by the Board of 

Trustees of the Greenville General 

Hospital to the County Legislative 

Delegation is one ol those 

rare propositions whereby the 

public can't lose. It is sound both 

from the standpoint of the immediate 

economics and that of 

long range planning. 

The Trustees, looking to the 

need for land space for future 

expansion, propose to buy the remaining 

eight lots on the block 

on which the Hospital Is situated. 

The Board has options to buy 

and there is no reason why the 

plan shouldn't go through. 

The purchase would be financed 

by the City's three banks. 

The loan would be paid off out 

of income from rental of the 

houses on certain of the lots and 

from nominal fees for parking on 

certain others that would be converted. 

The overall outlay will be 

$100,000 or less, and property of 

this sort in Greenville can be 

expected to appreciate, rather 

than depreciating, in value. And 

it won't cost a dime in tax 

money. 

The Board will require permission 

of the Legislative Delegation, 

probably in the form of 

a resolution of authorization, but 

this appears certain in view of 

the reasonableness of the proposition. 

Sen. P. Bradley Morrah 

Jr., already has stated he thinks 

the plan is good and that the 

Delegation probably can act on 

the request soon. 

The Hospital Trustees are 

showing their customary foresight 

in moving to purchase this 

land now, well in advance of the 

need. For one thing, it is available 

now and might not be later 

when the need is pressing. Unless 

they can make a deal with 

the hospital that is advantageous 

to them, the owners probably will 

sell to other purchasers, or develop 

their holdings for private 

purposes. 

Further, there is a severe need 

for parking facilities around the 

hospital. Parking is a problem for 

the doctors, all of whom must 

come and go quickly in emergencies 

and should not have to 

waste valuable time hunting a 

place to park or walking farther 

than is necessary. Visitors, some 

of whom are aged and infirm, 

encounter even greater difficulties. 

The vacant land can be used 

for parking until needed for expansion 

of the Hospital plant 

and, even then, some of it may 

be left for parking. 

Finally, and this is the compelling 

reason, Greenville County 

is going to outgrow its Hospital 

again. This may shock a lot 

of people, who recall that only 

recently was the latest multimillion-dollar 

addition finished 

and dedicated. 

But the truth is our County 

had almost outgrown its new 

hospital by the time it was finished. 

That is the pattern in a 

growing community like ours. 

The capacity of facilities of this 

sort seems almost always to lag 

somewhat behind the demand. 

We commend the Hospital 

Trustees on anticipating and 

preparing to meet future needs, 

as well as on efficient administration 

of the present facilities.

'Young Ideas/ Interest In Others 

Add To Pleasure Of Long Life 


She's the "youngest" older woman you know. Her eyes twinkle 

when she admits that her age is in the neighborhood of 75 or 80— 

and the same eyes tell you right off that she's just as interested in 

the world about her as she was some 50 years ago. In fact, she 

loves life. 

This love and interest in life is nothing new for our "youngest" 

older woman. It's grown up and become a part of her over the 

years. Her love of family and friends has given them strength. The 

church, the garden club, and neighborhood feel her interest. The 

whole community shows her influence. 

And after years of service for others, there is still the same 

youthful outlook about her that makes children love her and young 

adults feel that they can talk to her about everything. 

She keeps this attitude by living in the present, by forgetting 

her age, by making the most of life, and by continually thinking of 

others. 

Who is she? She can easily be your mother, grandmother, aunt, 

cousin, or friend. But whoever she is. she is a benefit to those 

around her by leading an active and useful life. 

The modern young woman of today can learn a lot from her. 

Books and magazines are full of articles telling diets and creams 

and' exercises that will keep one youthful. Beauticians and better 

health and care conditions also favor the woman of today in staying 

young. 

But the best advice on staying youthful comes straight from 

these "youngest" older women wlio say that they have never made 

any effort to look or act younger than their years. They have 

kept young without trying by their interest in the world and by 

thinking in terms of today. 

They are interested in new things and better ways of doing 

things. No young wife, just starting a home is more ready to experiment 

or find a better way of doing things than they are. 

Also they don't think that the world or. the young people in it 

are going to the dogs. Instead of dwelling on what is wrong with 

things as they are, or how much better things used to be, they see 

what is good in the time in which they are living. 

They usually don't offer advice unless it is asked for. Nothing 

makes an older person seem old as much as always knowing the 

right way to do everything and always being ready and willing to 

set others straight about the matter. 

And they never make others conscious of their age by talking 

about it. Age isn't of prime importance to them, and it never 

occurs to them that anyone else is particularly interested. 

So you never hear them making such remarks as "at my age" 

and "if I were younger" or now that I'm getting older." 

They have planned ahead so that they would always have something 

worthwhile to offer to the world—so that they would spend 

their time to real advantage for their community and for themselves. 

A key member of the Locust Hill community is Mrs. Sallie 

Gilreath (top left picture), well known school and music teacher. 

Besides raising eight children, Mrs. Gilreath found time to work 

with the 4-H and Home Demonstration clubs and was instrumental 

in organizing the Home Demonstration Club in upper 

Greenville County. 

Still active in church and community life. Mrs. Gilreath says 

that her hobby is raising flowers. Her Friendship Garden, in 

which she has planted a flower seed given her by every friend, is 

proof of her "green thumb" as well as her many friends. 

Mrs. Gilreath's children are Mrs. Paul Hunt, Mrs. Palmer 

Williams, and Mrs. L. E. Meares of Travelers Rest; Paul Gilreath, 

Tigerville; Jack Gilreath, Mobile, Ala.; Jeff and Clyde Gilreath, 

Greenville County; and Joe Gilreath, who lives with her. 

Mrs. Hassie Smith of 310 Perry Ave. (top right picture) says 

that all she has ever done is teach the Bible. But in so doing, she 

has greatly influenced the lives of those around her. Two young 

men she taught in a Bible class became preachers while seven 

girls from one of her Bible classes are now missionaries. 

Having always taken an active interest in the Second Presbyterian 

Church, Mrs. Smith has been a teacher of the Ladies Bible 

class and has also instructed Bible in the different circles, Many 

times she held Bible classes in her home for the neighborhood 

children. 

Mrs. Smith has two children, Gus Smith and Junius Smith of 

Greenville. She's most proud of her young great grandson, Jimmy 

Wells Jr. 

Someone said that Mrs. A. M. Scarborough's (center photo) 

whole life is her grandchildren. With her love, help, and interest 

in them, she is a grandmother to be proud of. Enjoying an afternoon 

with their grandmother are (left to right) Bobby Lynch, Asa 

Gray (great - grandson), Joey,_ and Mark Lynch. Mrs. 

Scarborough has six other grandchildren. Her children are Dr. 

A. M. Scarborough, Mrs. R. E. Lynch, and Mrs. J. W. Gray, all 

of Greenville. Au^q. *9- r9STS~

What About Children Who Can't Go To School? 

Thousands of Greenville County 

children troop off to school 

this week. Some of them are 

glad to go back; many are not 

so happy that carefree vacation 

days are over. 

Quite a few Greenville children 

would give almost anything 

to be in the back-to-school 

crowd. Just to be able to go 

would be wonderful. These are 

the children who are physically 

"unable to attend school. 

Some are cerebral palsy victims; 

others have been struck 

down by polio; still others have 

had rheumatic fever, and there 

are other ailments. 

But these homebound children 

are not forgotten by school authorities. 

Each one capable of 

receiving schooling can be properly 

cared for through the homebound 

teaching program of 

Greenville County School District 

520. 

Mrs. Hattie Barnes, retired 

elementary classroom teacher, 

instructs a maximum of 12 children 

in the Greenville metropolitan 

area under this program. Arrangements 

are made by school 

officials for other children who 

need the special service. 

About 24 homebound children 

were taught the program last 

year. Approximately the same 

number is expected this year. 

Parents of children who should 

come under the program and 

who have not yet talked with 

school authorities about the sit 

uation were urged to do so immediately. 

Parents were asked to contact

Greenville Is Sub-Par On Hospital Insurance 


Not long ago Greenville General 

Hospita) admitted a dishonorably 

discharged veteran of World War 

H who was paralyzed from the 

waist down. 

The ex-soldier had been discharged 

from the Army in California 

and was sent to Greenville 

because Greenville was his parent's 

home. He was a minor and 

the law says the address of a 

minor is the person's legal address 

Because the paraplegic's parents 

are welfare cases 

here, the hospital 

has been forced to 

admit and treat 

his case free. Currently 

the hospital 

does not know 

how long the case 

will have to receive 

treatm e n t, 

but the hospital 

does know that 

treatments will 

be long and expensive. 

SMELTZER 

Robert E. Toomey, director at 

General Hospital, said this case 

is only one of many where the 

hospital will have to foot all the 

expenses. 

The Commission on Financing 

of Hospital Care (CFHO, an independent 

non-governmental agency 

studying the costs of providing 

adequate hospital services, says 

it is studying the best systems of 

payment for such services — no 

matter whether the patient cannot 

afford to pay. 

CFHC is now working in three 

broad fields in an effort to give 

hospitals a fair chance to break 

even on costs. 

Prepayment and the community 

is one of the areas in which CFHC 

is now at work. The organization 

said one of the principles of this 

idea is that the community should 

assume responsibility for payment 

only when the individual or family 

unit is unable to pay for care. 

Voluntary prepayment has developed 

in response to the growing 

need of individuals and families for 

an orderly and dependable method 

of paying for the increasingly effective, 

but costly, services of the 

modern hospital. 

However, an inherent danger of 

prepayment is that it may encourage 

unnecessary utilization of 

hospital services and weaken or 

remove incentives to minimize hospital 

expenditures. 

Prepayment, often spoken of as 

"hospital insurance," has grown 

phenominally. At the end of 1953 

there were over 91 million persons 

covered by prepayment, compared 

to less than 4 million at the end 

ol 1938. 

That is the national figure. 

Greenville, however, is said to be 

alarmingly low in the number of 

persons covered by such insurance. 

Three fourths of the uncovered 

population are in the labor force 

or are dependents of persons in 

the labor force. The remaining 25 

per cent are not working or are 

rot seeking work, it was reported. 

The uncovered population exceeds 

the national average, that in 

Ihe Southern stales and in the 

Mountain and Pacific regions. The 

more densely populated areas of 

the country have relatively fewer 

uncovered persons. 

Some of the reasons given for 

55-54 

there being persons without hospitalization 

coverage are: some 

people do not recognize the need 

for prepaid protection, group plans 

are not effective in enrolment 

techniques, and some people can't 

afford prepayment costs. 

Therefore, CFHC has found it 

needful to make its studies so 

that it can make recommendations 

lor proper hospital care for everyone. 

The organization strongly boosts 

the prepayment plans, saying that 

the more individuals covered, the 

lower the costs will be for the 

services hospitals render. 

Benefits available to the public 

under all types of prepayment 

plans are characterized by wide 

variation as to approach, type and 

extent. In most communities are 

found service benefits and cash 

idemnity. Many plans offer a combination 

of both. In some instances 

both approaches have been 

modified by deductible or co-insurance 

provisions. 

The co-insurance provision requires 

the patient to pay a fixed 

percentage of his total hospital 


bill or a portion of charges for 

specific items of service. This; 

system is used at Greenville Gen-! 

eral Hospital, in that the patient 

must pay his room and board for 

the first two days. The purpose 

here is to discourage exploitation' 

ol the plan. 

Cash indemnity benefits may j 

be paid directly to the hospital, 

with the patient paying the hospital 

the difference between his 

cash indemnity benefit and the 

amount of his hospital bill. 

Mr. Toomey said that neither 

method is wholly effective, for the 

same old bugaboo arises: either 

the patient hasn't proper or 

enough insurance, or his policy 

has lapsed or the company which 

has sold him his policy has misled 

the patient. 

One measure recently has been; 

taken by the local hospital to make 

collections easier. Now the hospital 

requires a patient covered 

by a prepayment plan to sign a 

form authorizing the hospital to 

collect on his insurance from the 

company.

A Future Nurses Club will be 

organized at Bryson High School 

Wednesday, according to Mrs. 

Pearl Kilgore, County School 

nurse. 

A similar organization is to be 

set up at Lincoln High School at 

a later date, she said. 

The purpose of the club, Mrs. 

Kilgore said, is to help girls to - 

| decide whether or not they want 

;to become nurses, pointing up that 

i there is a national shortage. 

! Members will also learn about 

health agencies and aids, she said, 

stating that these will be the first 

such clubs in the state among 

Negroes. 

In regard to the shortage Mrs. 

Kilgore said that there were only 

about "7 to 12 Negro Registered 

Nurses in the county, and approximately 

a little over 100 in the entire 

state." 

She said that there was only 

one school of nursing for Negroes 

in the state, and that it was a 

three-year "diploma school, with 

no college affiliation." 

Earl Daniels, health instructor 

at Bryson, will be the club's adviser, 

and Mrs. Kilgore will serve 

as its nurse consultant. •:•

Street improvement. She wrote; 

of tlie efforts being made to "tear

The council committee simply 

agreed with the Planning and Zoning

is that if the city ever has to 

widen this street it can be done 

without having to tear down or 

mutilate any buildings. 

Many other cities now are having 

to spend vast sums on demolition 

of buildings which would 

not have been necessary had these 

buildings never been constructed 

where they are. If property has 

to be condemned for street 

widening it would cost much lest 

if no buildings have to be destroyed. 

As a matter of fact, some of the

plant sale which will be held 

Wednesday at the Curb Market 

might well be "Give a Plant to 

Buy a Plant" or vice versa, i 

To begin with, plants will be donated 

by members of the various 

clubs which make up the council 

and by other people who have 

plants to offer for the sale. These 

plants will be for sale beginning: 

at 8 a.m. Wednesday until they're 

all sold. Then, the proceeds from 

the sale of the plants will be used 

to buy plants flowers and shrubs 

to beautify the grounds of the new 

hospital addition. 

Since the success of the plant 

sale depends on the cooperation of 

the member clubs and the public 

from both standpoints, the council 

has asked that everyone who possibly 

can donate plants and buy 

plants at the sale as well. 

Donations will be received at 

the Curb Market Tuesday from 

4 p.m. to 7 p.m. The council 

has noted that if donors of plants 

cannot bring them, transportation 

will be supplied. This may 

be arranged by phoning any 

member of the public transportation 

committee. They are: Mrs. 

H. B. Noe, 3-8825; Mrs. J. M. 

Bruce, 3-7626; Mrs. C. B. Fry, 

5-0419; Mrs. J. 0. Buchanan, 

5-6685. 

A wide variety of plants will be 

available at the sale; particularly 

since many donations are being 

made by commercial growers. 

Some of the types of plants for 

sale will include those for pot and 

window garden, edging, ground 

cover, beds, border plants, hedge, 

shrubs, trees, climbing herbs, 

bulbs and roots, and many other 

varieties of garden and lawn 

plants.

Be Brief, Begone Is Rule One 

For Visiting Sick In Hospital 


Have you ever wondered just 

I how to act when visiting a sick 

friend? 

; People who have been patients 

j have probably devised their own 

| set of rules that visitors ought to 

! follow. But, the fact is that here, 

in healthy America, there are 

many people who can truthfully 

say, "I've never been sick a day 

in my life." And they often wonder 

about visiting — particularly in a 

hospital. 

They want to know answers to 

i the "visitor's questions" such as 

\ how long to stay, what to talk 

j about, whether to smile or look 

j "down in the mouth" and when 

; to call. 

Mr. Robert E. Toomey, director 

of Greenville General Hospital, 

points out that the most 

important thing to remember 

when visiting a sick friend is 

to make the visit short. 

If the conversation lags or if 

the patient becomes restless in 

the least, prepare to leave. 

Never linger over prolonged expressions 

of regret and good wishes—when 

you are ready to leave, 

stand up, express your best wishes, 

go to the door, and leave. 

Second only to a short visit, 

according to Mr. Toomey, is the 

importance of keeping tbe number 

of people visiting a patient 

down to two. The sickroom is no 

place for a crowd. 

Visitors will always be welcome 

in the hospital and the home if 

they find out first when it is convenient 

to call. 

Never bring food to a patient 

without first telling members of 

the family or the patient's nurse 

at the hospital. He may be on

Winter Fashions Shown Yesterday At Country Club 

Yesterday was high-fashion day 

at the Greenville Country Club as 

members of the Auxiliary to the 


entertained the wives of visiting 

doctors at a pre-luncheon showing 

of winter clothes. 

Mrs. Charles Thomas wore a 

coffee-colored costume suit made 

of rabbit's hair and wool. The 

collar of the sheath dress was 

beaded in pearls and bronze beads. 

A coffee-colored turban with black 

satin bow accented her other accessories, 

which were black. 

Mrs. Robert Thomason modeled 

a two-piece suit with red boxy 

jacket and slim, black broadcloth 

skirt. Interest in the jacket was 

centered on button detailing. A 

black velour pioneer cloche with 

pheasant feathers complemented 

the outfit. Mrs. Hugh Smith Jr. 

showed a full-length natural coat 

of cashmere and virgin wool over 

a dark brown coat-dress with 

cream satin collar and low-waisted 

belt. A three-tone, draped, satin 

turban and brown shoes and bag 

completed the daytime costume. 

Mrs. J. G. Murray's slenderizing 

casual dress featured the 

long waistline and another cashmere 

and wool coat to match. 

Both were Dior blue, as was her 

Imported velour hat trimmed 

with pheasant feathers. Mrs. 

Gordon Howie's short coat, of 

man-made fabric with the luxurious 

look of fur, was made to 

be treated just the same as fur. 

It was worn over a two-piece

velour cloche matched the avocado

and relieved by a kick pleat in the

displayed a costume suit featuring 

a royal blue and black unfitted 

tweed jacket with velvet collar 

and button detail, over a black 

wool jersey sheath. Her black 

accessories were spiked with silver 

jewelry. 

Mrs. Lawson Stoneburner wore 

a two-piece English tweed, basically 

brown and gray but flecked 

with many colors, complemented 

by a shaggy white scoop helmet 

with rhinestone pin. The classic 

tweed suit worn by Mrs. J. R. 

Bryson showed painstaking tailoring. 

Its gray and blue tones were 

emphasized by gray lizard shoes 

and bag, pastel mink furs and blue 

jewelry. 

Mrs. Willis Hood modeled a 

semi-fitted tweed suit in winter 

avocado. The clover-leaf collar 

barely brushed the neck. A tiered 

Russian turban with glittering clips 

and alligator shoes and bag gave 

the costume the high-fashion look. 

Mrs. Heide Davis appeared in a 

black costume suit of knitted lace, 

the jacket and sheath dress 

trimmed in satin to make the 

costume appropriate for evening. 

An all-over curled feather profile 

hat completed the outfit. 

Mrs. W. T. Martin displayed a

crepe with pink satin-beaded 

trim. Her velour pillbox was also

Rehabilitation^ s 

Program Is Set 

By Palsy Group 

Definite steps towards the organization 

of a vocational rehabilitation 

and job placement 

program for persons handicapped 

by cerebral palsy are being taken 

by the adult club for cerebral 

palsy victims organized here several 

months ago by Bill Kiser. 

" 'Employ the Physically Handicapped 

Week' has just passed," 

Mr. Kiser explained. "We hear a 

lot about employing handicapped 

persons during that week, but 

for the 51 other weeks of the 

year, little or nothing seems to 

be done about it. 

"We are hoping to start a program 

which will be year-round 

in activity and will not only be 

concerned with job placement 

of the handicapped, but teaching 

the handicapped person a 

trade or skill which will enable 

him to earn a living." 

According to Mr. Kiser, the 

adult CP program in Greenville 

County has been of a recreational 

nature. Present plans include 

first establishing a means of determining 

what each adult CP 

victim's capacity is. 

"This will include first giving 

each adult a physical evaluation 

in the Cerebral Palsy Clinic at 

General Hospital and using physical 

therapy and the occupational 

therapy departments of 

the hospital when necessary," he 

said. "Second will be providing , 

psychological and pre-vocation- . 

al testing for those who need 

it." 

Using these two steps as a 

basis, the adult CP group hopes 

to be able to find some type of 

vocational activity for all who 

need it, either through individual 

job placement or through a group 

vocational project. Mr. Kiser added 

that this program cannot be 

carried out alone through the CP 

groups in the community, but 

needs the cooperation of the entire 

community behind it. "But 

we feel that with real interest in 

the program, many handicapped 

persons can become wage earn-: 

ers, earning at least part of their! 

living," he said.

Greenville Delegation Hears County Physician Give Plan For Assistant 

By WILLIAM C. MORRIS 

Dr. J. I. Converse, county physician, 

outlined a plan yesterday 

for the addition of another doctor 

to give daily service, including 

physical examinations of all prisoners. 

Appearing before the County 

Legislative Delegation, Dr. Converse 

said a young physician 

could be obtained for the position 

at a salary of $5,000. He would 

devote at least half of each day 

to the county, leaving some time 

for private practice. 

The suggested duties would include: 

care of convalescents in 

the proposed addition to the County 

Home, checking convalescent 

applicants in their homes, daily 

"sick calls" to all prison camps 

and physical examinations of all 

prisoners as they come into camp. 

Dr. Converse would continue to 

perform autopsies in connection 

with inquests held by the coroner. 

Sen. P. Bradley Morrah Jr. inquired 

if the inquest procedures 

could be "strengthened somewhat" 

with regards to any "undetected 

crime." 

Dr. Converse Said this phase 

was "running very,smoothly." He 

said autopsies were held in all 

unnatural deaths and pathology 

equipment was used!: at General 

Hospital. 

The doctor pointed out that examinations 

of prisoners would be 

beneficial to prevent disease, Also, 

in some cases now, it cannot be 

determined whether a prisoner's 

ailment was suffered before-he 

came to camp or was incurred 

afterwards. 

It was decided to have a Delegation 

committee confer with Dr. 

Converse, put in writing h|s 

duties and make concrete recommendations 

for the addition of an

that parking on the left side is

placed on violators cars had not 

solved the problem, especially in 

the hospital area, because of the 

"rapid turnover" of parking in 

that section. 

He urged that the public cooperate 

in the Police Department's 

efforts to improve the city's traffic 

situation. Adherence to parking 

regulations will help greatly 

in that respect, he said. 

It was pointed out that "left 

wheel parkers" not only run a 

great risk of causing accidents 

in pulling to and away from the 

wrong side of the street, but also 

are likely to be considered at

Wives Who Wait Are Friends With 

By PATRICIA SEETS 

Piedmont Women's Editor 

A piercing siren splits the death-like silence of the 

night. 

Five minutes later, somewhere in Greenville, the persistent 

jangling of a telephone interrupts the quiet stillness 

of a sleeping household. 

It doesn't ring long. The ears of the sleepers are attuned 

to the little bell which calls them from their slumber. 

A voice answers—drowsy at first, then quickly alert. 

The name ... the address. Then, "Yes, right away." 

Five minutes later a man closes the door on a house 

that holds his sleeping family and steps into his car. As 

he starts the motor his hand shoots out in an unconscious 

gesture—checks to make sure there is a black bag at his 

side. 

The car bearing a caduceus above the license plate 

speeds away in the darkness. 

And the wife of the man in the car? 

The first few hundred times it happened, she got out 

of bed, picked up a book or her knitting, put on a pot of 

coffee and sat down to wait. But she doesn't do that anymore. 

He may be back in half an hour, but it may be four 

or five hours. She never knows. And, since the children 

have to be wakened and fed and dressed for school early 

in the morning, she goes to the door, turns on the porch 

light, and goes back to bed and to sleep. 

"You get used to it," one doctor's wife said, "just like 

you get used to eating cold dinners because the doctor's 

calls took longer than he thought they would." 

And the wife of an obstetrician: 

"Unfortunately, babies don't usually choose a convenient 

time to make their arrival in this world. Their 

favorite hour seems to be about two or three o'clock in the 

morning." 

Or the wife of a general practitioner: 

"It's a little hard to take sometimes, especially when 

you have a big evening out planned, and the doctor gets 

an emergency call at the last minute. I used to fret about 

it when I was first married, but now I Just make all our 

plans 'tentative' until the minute we're able to get there." 

Then the wife of an interne: 

"Sometimes I think it's pretty bad now, with my husband 

working such long shifts at the hospital, but at least 

he has scheduled hours and we can make plans according

ly. We're making the most of it now, because I know I 

won't be able to count on anything like a schedule when 

he goes into practice." 

But would they change it? 

Not on your life. 

They'll gripe some—but then a little griping is said to 

be a healthy sign of happiness. 

And when the phone rings just as they're leaving the 

house to attend the biggest dance of the season the wife 

will sigh "It never fails" and go back to answer it. 

Then she'll take off her ball gown, allow herself the 

luxury of one last long sigh, and dismiss the baby sitter 

with the admonition "Don't ever marry a doctor." But she 

won't mean it. 

She's just one of many ... wives who wait. 

Wives Can Keep Busy 

While Mates Work 

By RUTH MILLETT 

Is there just one pattern for a happv marriage? Some women 

evidently thmk so to the extent that they believe they can't be happy 

unless their marriages can follow a certain pattern. 

A wife whose husband is establishing his own small business and 

finds little time for his family asks, "How can I be happy when my 

husband rs home so little? How I envy the other women in our 

neighborhood whose husbands work definite hours." 

The way you can be happy is to quit thinking your marriage 

can't be satisfactory simply because it doesn't follow the pattern 

you think of as the only right one. 

Forget all of your ideas of what you think your marriage ought 

to be like, and begin to work out a happy pattern based on your circumstances 

as they are. 

If your husband is working hard to establish a business of his 

own and is happy in his work, you would be selfish, indeed, to handicap 

him by complaining because he can't spend as much time at 

home as a man working a set number of hours a week. 

The way you can help him and create a good life for yourself is 

to keep busy while your husband is busv, instead of wishing you 

could be doing things together. 

Surely you know at least one woman who has no husband or 

whose husband is also away from home a good deal of the time. 

If you don't, make it a point to get acquainted with some other 

woman who is free to do things with you occasionally in the evening. 

Undoubtedly there are many ways in which you could use your 

spare time for making your home more attractive. You might even 

think of ways in which you could help your husband in his business 

—such as by keeping his books, taking care of his mail, or scouting 

his opposition. 

family is gathered here .in the living room. On the 

couch are Mrs. Wilkins with their son, Murry 9. Or. 

Wilkins holds the baby, Cary, who is 16 months old 

and Janice 5, sits on the floor to brush her doll's hair. 

HOME AT LAST after a long weekend on duty at Greenville General 

Hospital where he is interning is Dr. R. A. Steadman of Lewis 

Village. Mrs. Steadman hands him a newspaper to catch up on what's 

happened since Friday as the doctor relaxes with a cup of tea. They 

have o son, Ricky, 13 months.
