PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, July 25, 1968 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) in the county. The school is proposed as a part of abolish ment of the dual school sys- ttm. Unless the bonded in debtedness limit is increased it will be impossible for the Board of raise money for the building. I expect the voters—at least the taxpaying voters—are go ing to take a long, hard look at this question. Undoubtedly there are two schools in the city which need replacing; Junior High and Drayton. It has been noted that if the school district did not bow down to HEW guidelines, it would lose $400,000 in federal funds. That $400,000 would go a long way toward a new school and it would seem that if the federal government wants to be so lavish with our money, it might shell out a few hundred thousand for school buildings. Then there is a question of how that $400,000 is spent. Much of it for libraries, yes; but eventually libraries get to the saturation point and can hold no more volumes. I would expect that most of the coun ty schools are at that point now. There are instructional ma terials, some of which are good. I was talking to a teacher about this subject the other day. She told me that they were given a list of available materials under “fed eral” projects and told to get anything they needed. “There R1TZ THEATRE THURSDAY Herman’s Hermits, Stanley Holloway, Marjorie Rhodes “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter” FRIDAY, SATURDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY Dick Van Dyke, Edward G.

Most of it has just been occupying room in the closet, gathering dust and nev er used.” And with all the .“federal” money that has been spent on the Newberry schools in the past several years, not a single elementary school has been accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and schools, and, as I recall, only one elementary school has been accredited by the State De partment of Education. In a nearby county with very lim ited federal aid—actually NO federal aid hte past year federal aid the past year, at least two elementary schools were accredited by the State Department, and expect ac creditation by the Southern Association in December. And tax millage is little, if any higher than in Newberry. If we are going to have to pay the price for “federal aid,” the schools should show the results. Operations at hospital are explained The physicians of Newberry and members of the staff of Newberry County Memorial hospital have undertaken a program of trying to inform the public concerning func tions of the hospital and doc tors who serve it. While there will be no reg ularly scheduled basis for these articles, it is expected that various aspects of the hospi tal’s operations will be pub lished in this newspaper from time to time. The first of these articles concerns the operation of the emergency room. It is urged that the public read the infor mation published below, and cooperate in an effort to alle viate the burden placed on physicians and hospital staff. Emergency Room Coverage It is the earnest desire of the medical staff of the New berry County Memorial Hospi tal to provide efficient, up to date and easily available em ergency care for our citizens. This entails problems which we feel should be aired for the general public. In a small hospital such as ours, there are marked physical limitations, having only one Emergency Room, rather than a suite of rooms for that pur pose. Additionally, we have no intern or resident staff who can serve in the emergency room, nor are we fortunate enough to be able to afford the luxury of a full time hired physician for this purpose. It therefore becomes the respon sibility of the private physi cians, who utilize the hospital, to serve in this capacity. The members of the hospital staff have devised a call sys tem to this and are currently using that system. There are nine doctors in Newberry coun ty who alternate emergency room duty, six of whom rotate the duty on a regular basis and three who help out by taking calls on weekends only—work ing one out of every seven weekends. All of the participating phy sicians have their own private practice to conduct and are consequently unable to remain in residence at the hospital for the entire periods of their call duty. However, each man has pledged that he will keep the nurse on duty informed of his whereabouts and be immediate ly available for emergency calls. It is understood that he will be called only for patients who do not have a physician or Power to be off Sunday Duke Power will have the electricity off the entire city Sunday, July 28 at 7:00 A.M. Eastern daylight saving time for about two minutes and that portion of the city customers north of Reid street in and around Oakland for approxi mately 30 minutes. This is nec essary to change transformers on the 24 KV line that feeds the city. A second interruption on Sunday, July 28 at approx imately 5 o’clock P.M. for ap proximately one minute.

Floyd City whose physician is unavailable at that particular time. In each case, the emergency room nurse will make every effort to locate the patients private physician before calling the “emergency doctor.” The hospital staff has had countless discussions attempt ing to devise the best work able plan for emergency cover age and has so far been un able to improve on this sys tem. We are fully aware this is not the ideal coverage and further realize that to an anx ious family and patient the wait for a dector probably seems long. However, a survey of emer gency room records for the past two years reveals that greater than 95 percent of the bona fide emergencies have had a doctor in attendance within 20 minutes after arrival. During that lapse of time, there has been qualified nurs ing personnel with the patient. This short period of delay does not always hold true in cases which cannot be classified as emergencies, and it must be pointed out that far greater than 50 percent of the patients treated through the emergency room are non-emergencies. We classify sore throats, colds, most headaches, infections, and by and large all illnesses of more than 24 hours duration in this group, and feel that these types of cases should properly be treated during regular of fice hours in the private phy sician’s office. To treat them in the emercency room not on ly inconveniences the doctor on call, but also ties up the hos pital facilities so that it is sometimes difficult to treat the actual emergencies. Additionally, it places a fin ancial burden on the patient in as much as the necessary hos pital charges involved would ordinarily be an amount more than enough to pay for an office visit and these charges do not include the physician’s fee. The overall efficiency and effectiveness of the emergency room service would be immeas urably improved if these pat ients would see a physician in his office during regular office hours. We are most anxious to render the best pos sible service and plead for the public’s cooperation and assist ance to this end. Dove season to open Sept. 14 South Carolina hunters will again have a split dove season this fall with the first half opening at noon, September 14 and closing at sunset, Oct. 12.
