LUQOFF SOLDIER TELLS OF SABOTAGE ON BOUGAINVILLE (Continued from first page) With everyone pitching in. the fire was ’subdued after four or five hours, but more than 60 men had been killed and hundreds injured. The fact that many of the men had lef) the area for the mesa hall kept the casualties from being even higher. Many bodies couldn’t be identifh'd. says Jackson, because their identification tags had been blown to pieces. - Investigation soon disclosed that a time bomb had caused the explo slon The field commander immediate ly ordered a thorough search of- the camp. All of the men’s effects were gone over several times and the mhll rigidly censored. But after two weeks no clue had been found. “Then one day.’’ relates Jackson, “a truckdriver in a transportation unit gave a letter to a sailor from one of "the ships in the harbor,. He said It was a very personal message for his mother and he didn’t want it to he censored. He gave the sailor $10 to mail the letter in another port." The sailor was suspicious and turn ed The^letter over to the captain of the ship. The ship’s intelligence offic- fr-nabbed the writer, and after grill ing by army and navy officers, the soldier confessed to planting the bomb. “The traitor.” explained Jackson, “was burn in Germany and came to this country at an early age. He was a Nazi sympathizer who sent informa tion on ammunition supplies to his mother to forward to Axis agents." The saboteur’s confession implicat ed another soldier. Both were being tried for treason at the time Jackson shipptMl out. Private Jackson was sent to the AAF Regional and Convalescent Hos pital here last July for treatment of and injured shoulder. Expert ..treat ment hy Army doctors speeded his recovery and he expects to be dis charged next week completely cured. He plans to open a garage soon after leaving the service. Record Room Important Dept Camden Hospital The Medical Record Room is per haps the least known department in the hospital; nevertheless, its work is highly important. The American C!ollege of Surgeons states that “ac curate and complete medical records be written for all Mtients and filed in ab accessible manner in the hos-^ pitaL a complete medical record be ing "one which includes identification data, the complaint, personal and fam ily history, history of present illness, physical and special examinations, such as consultations, clinical labora tory, x-ray and others, provisional or working diagnosis, medical- or surgi cal treatments, gross and microscop ical pathological findings, progress notes, final diagnosis, condition on discharge, follow-up and.in case of death, autopsy findings.” You may wonder how such volum inous hospital records can be put to practical use. Consider the patient who is stricken with sudden illness and taken to another hospital. Immed. lately his entire past history at the Camden hospital is available to the attending physician. No matter how many times it is necessary for you to be hospitalized your complete records are made available by the record li brarian. Perhaps your physician was called into war service. The succeeding physician can easily ascertain your past hospital experience. The duties of the record librarian include the quantitative analyzing of medical case histories, classifying diseases and abstracting medical rec ords for correspondence to insurance companies, hospitals, physicians or others who are legally entitled to in formation that is helpful to the pa tient's welfare. All information rela tive to the case may be released only at the discretion of the record libra rian. Medical records may be produc ed in court on presentation of a sub poena. Hospital records abe kept indefinite ly. Because of this, room space is of vital Importance. In the year 1944, 1996 patients were discharged from the Camden hospital. This required analVzIpg*, assembling, classifying diagnosis, and filing of 1996 charts. nnie medical record librarian must devise methods of securing good rec ords and must, work harmoniously with members of the staff, and others who contribute to the medical history. In addition to her hospital duties, she may be called upon to assist the physicians in preparing data for med ical research and various papers. From this brief resume it may read ily be seen that the Record Room is one of the most Important depart ments of any hospital and that it con tributes Immensely to the present high standard of your Camden hos pital. Soil Conservation Notes By V. T. Mullen L. O. Funderburk harvested 12 acres Sericea Lespedeta on his Boykin farm and states that his yield averag: ed 400 pounds per acre. Mr. Funder burk plans to have his seed cleaned and scarified and seed additional acreage for grazing next spring. Jim Sweet is re-working his ter races in connection wlth~ his grain planting. Terrace maintenance is high ly Important if any terrace system is to function. This should be a routine step as land is prepared for each crop. Mr. Sweet follows strip-cropping and with properly constructed terraces this provides adequate protection for his fields. Terraco lines have been run on L. P. Branham’s farm at Lugoff. L. I. Guion, terracing contractor in that section, la constructing terraces un-1 der the AAA program. Terracing is only one of the many ways farmers might earn their farm soil building allowance. W. T. Denton is planning to stock his 2 acre pond with 3000 Bream and 400 Baas. The Federal Fish Hatchery at Orangeburg has approved his order and will deliver the Bream shortly and t^e Bass in the spring. Mr. Dent on plans to fertilize and manage his pond according to District recommen dations. Notes From Chamber Of ^mmerce It ft with pleasure that the Camden and Kershaw County Chamber ol Commerce announces that the much discussed hosiery plant for Camden appears to be a strong probability in the near future. The ^ard of Direc tors of the Chamber of Obmmerce has requested that the City and County of ficials cooperate as compl^ly as possible with the hosiery company’s representatives. The company ofDc ials. the County officials, and the City officials have agreeably reached com mon ground in their arrangements and the hosiery company has taken options on the property on both sides of Highway No. 1 West of the Sea board Railway and East of thb Water- ee River. This property covers much more area than that actually requir ed by one hosiery mill. This would Indicate that further developments, both industrial &od residential, are in the offing. The location of this plant near Camden will mean a gseat deal to the business interests of Camden and Kershaw County. The hosiery busi ness is one of the highest types of the textile industry. It is nnderslood that only educated labor is used in these plants. The wage scale is high and working conditions are excellent. An informal but authoritative esti mate of the average wage e|irnqd..in this type of work is thirty dollars a week for women and forty-five dollars a week for men. / It is understood that present plana call for a labor force of slightly over one hundred people when the Cam den plant opens. However, rapid ex pansion is expected. A similar plant, owned by the same company, which opened in 1928 employing one hun dred people, had slightly less than eight hundr^ people employed at its peak in 1941. This information is passed on as an example of what can happen with the proper cooperation of effort. How ever. we should remember that this particular plant is still in the option stage and even greater cooperation of effort will be needed to make it an aqtuality. The future holds more than promise as long as we grasp our op portunities. Back your Chamber of Commerce. COMING ATTRACTIONS —AT— Camden Theatre 10BPOOOOOOO»OOOeOOOOOOOD« FRI.-SAT., NOV.
