40 packaged
hospitals are
kept in state
Before Hurricane Camille, ad
equate hospital facilities were
available to nearly every resi
dent along the Mississippi and
Louisiana Gulf Coast.
After the storm, packaged dis
aster hospitals were set up for
emergency use.
Where would South Carolin
ians turn if the state’s hospitals
were suddenly damaged or des
troyed by a hurricane?
“Residents in 36 counties
would have immediate access
to packaged disaster hospitals,”
according to State Health Offi
cer Dr. E. Kenneth Aycock.
Dr. Aycock explained that
packaged disaster hospitals are
fully equipped 200-bed units
packed in boxes and stored thru-
out the Palmetto State. They
are ready to be set up in a
pre-selected building after a dis
aster of any kind.
Admitting that packaged dis
aster hospitals afford little lux
ury and convenience, Dr. Ay
cock pointed out that four PDHs
have been “put to good use in
Mississippi and Louisiana fol
lowing Camille’s attack.”
Dr. Aycock learned that 130
generators and two mobile clin
ics were provided by the U. S.
Public Health Service. Four vec
tor control specialists and six
sanitary engineers were dis
patched by the Atlanta office
of Emergency Health Services.
Forty packaged disaster hos
pitals are strategically located
in South Carolina “just in case
we ever need them,” com
mented Dr. Donald H. Robin
son, chief of the Board’s Bureau
of Preventive Health Services.
“All forty are designed to be
set up as complete hospitals in
schools or community centers,
but they may also supplement
existing hospitals or function as
large aid stations,” Dr. Robin
son said.
Each hospital contains a 30-
day supply of medical supplies
and equipment.
Hurricane Camille took many
lives, but packaged disaster
hospitals probably saved many
more.
Fair Season
gets underway
With a light nip in the night
air and tinges of red and gold
on the trees, the promise of fall
with its fairs has come.
More than 20 are scheduled
this season in South Carolina.
They begin August 28 with the

award for meritorious service
while serving as a supply ser
geant with Advisory Team 95,
advising a Vietnamese Army
unit.
Upper S. C. State Fair, Green
ville, which lasts through Sep
tember 6. The Laurens County
Fair, October 27-November 1st,
ends the 1969 spectaculars.
The Newberry-Saluda County
Fair is scheduled here October
6—11. (
Fairs involve everybody.
Farmers, industries, govern
mental agencies, housewives as
well as children and clubs have
exhibits. From the manufactur
ers come latest products and
machinery. Ample booths for
food and drink are sponsored
by church and civic groups and
individuals.
For some, the exhibits are the
inspirational part of the fairs.
To others, highlights are noises
of the hawkers and the fire
works; lights and crowds; the
midway with the carnival and
sideshows; the calliopes and the
clowns.
The fair to all means cotton
candy, hotdogs on a stick, bingo
and wheels of chance, friendly
greetings from old acquaintance.
So it’s “Hi, Ho, Come to the
Fair”.
