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

were very few things on the
list I could use.” she said,
“but they told me to go ahead
and order something anyway,
so I did. 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

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.
