Hospitals Statement

To Whom It May Concern:
This is to certify that Mr.
Bruce HARRISON was admitted
as a patient to the Columbus
County Hospital Inc, Whiteville.
N. c., on the morning of June
6. 1850. at 11:35 A. M. and re-
manned until 4:30 P. M. of June
7, 1850. At the time that Mr..
HARRISON was admitted to the
hospital there were no private
rooms available. He was placed
in the only available, bed, which
was in a ward. On the folio ling
morning a private room became
vacant and Mr.. HARRISON was
told that he could transfer to
this room if he so desired. He
stated that he was waiting for
reservations in the Veterans Hos.
pital in Fayetteville and prefer
red to remain where he was until
he was transferred to the Veter-
ans Hospital.
During the time that Mr.. Har.
relson was patient in the hos
pital he was suffering from in
juries to both his arms, which
made it necessary that he be
fed his meals. His noon meal on
Tuesday was fed to him by Mrs.
Fay Wescott, Supervisor of Ward
Hall. His afternoon meal on
Tuesday was fed to him by a
nurses aid. His breakfast Wed
nesday morning was fed to him
be Nurse Martha Nell Williams.
His noon meal on Wednesday
was fed to him by his Aunt at
her own request.
At the time Mr.. HARRISON was
admitted in the hospital his
clothing was soiled with grease
or oil. This was changed as soon
as the cast on his arm had hard
cncd sufficiently so as not to
endanger breaking the cast. Mr..
HARRISON was shown every con-
sideration and courtesy while a
patient in the hospital. He was
asked specifically by the Super
intendent of Nurses in making
her visits to the patients if he
had any complaints, to which
he replied that he did not. His
family was permitted to remain
with the patient before and after
visiting hours as well as during
visiting hours. He was officially
discharged on Wednesday after
noon at his own request. The en-
ployccs of the Columbus County
Hospital received no complaints
from Mr.. HARRISON or any mem,
Dor of his family while he was a
patient. and were not aware that
there was any dissatisfaction as
far rs the hospital was concerned
until an article appeared in The
Tabor City Tribune after MIR.
IIarrclson had been released.
Mr.. Harrelson's total bill for
services, rendered by the Column.
bus County Hospital, including
N.ravs. amounted to$35.00, which
was paid by his employer.

Carlyle Aids Report
473 Amdavits Have
Been Secured Here

a spokesman for the F. Ertel
Carlyle forces in Tabor City this
week reported that 473 notarized
and signed affidavits were being
held which read as follows
"'namC(. being sworn. says That
he tor she) is qualified voter
in South Williams Precinct in
Columbus County and voted in
the democratic primary held on
MAY 81. 1850. and that his Cor
herr ballot was marked and vot-
cd for F. Ertcl Carlyle and was
placed by the undersigned in the
proper box for such ballot. (sign.
ed Sworn to and subscribed be.
fore me this the - day of June
1850. Notary Public"
The Carlyle spokesman stated
that these affidavits had been
procured on a voluntary basis
and none were solicited"
1t was also stated that the af
fidavitS are still available in
Tabor City for anyone who has
not signed one who wishes to do
so.
No specific disposition of the
affidavitS has been decided upon
at this time. according to the in
formation given to TheTribune
this week.
South Williams township of.
ficials reported 200 ballots cast
for Carlyle in the primary cleo
ton Spokesman say that the
small number of votes for Carlyle
as contrasted to the 6S3 reported
for Snead was a shock to Tabor
City following the election. And
that after the results were an
nounced. the surprise was dis
cussed ny Tabor City citizens
ard made affidavits available to
those persons who wished to let
it be known that they supported
Carlyle.
Thus far 264 more people have
signed affidavits swearing to
their vote for Carlyle than were
reported as having been cast for
him. Spokesman say that many
more could be procured through
solicitation.
Mrs. J. P. Brown. registrar in
the South Williams township had
this to say about the affidavits
and the election in general.
I'VE were conlplimented by
many people because of the
smoothncSS with which the cleo,
ton was conducted. There was,
in my opionion less confusion
around the poles than ordinarily.
So far as I know. the election
fair as aGy election I have ever
soon.
In ny opinion, many of the
people who have signed the af-
fidavite did 50 without lInowinr
what they were signing. I also
believe that TIE affidavit has
been misrepresented to some of
the people. I have had SOM
people tell me that they wanted
to sign the papers that were
available so that Mr.. Carlyle
would not lose his job. This has
indicated to me that some of the
people were misled as to just
what the affidavitS stated.
Il personally do not even know
what the affidavits do state an'
haze hoen unable to get one"

Somewhere along the line there

The finishing work on the
S250,O00 edifice, built by the
Morris Construction Co., is now
under way, and conservation ser
vices will be held Sunday, Sept.
10. Since final completion of the
project is not due until after the
holidays, formal dedication SER
vices have been set tentatively for
Dec. 10, according to Morris
Meckler, congregation president.
The synagogue, built along mas
sive modern lines, is designed
around a main sanctuary with a
capacity for 575 people. The base
ment auditorium seats another
75O people. Two hundred fifty
more can be accommodated in the
largest of IL classrooms contained
in the building adjoining the main
synagogue.
Other Facilities
The synagogue also has study
for the rabbi, a large kitchen and
various storage and checking
rooms.
On the front of the main
structure is a large menorah, done
in glass brick with back-lighting
at night.
The synagogue, which is locat-
ed at 3rd Ave and Mcdowell, was
built in two phases. First the con-
gregation erected the auditorium
at a cost of 100000 for building
and land. That was in 1947, and
during the ensuing three years the
congregation used the auditorium
as its synagogue while additional
funds were being raised to COM
plete the undertaking.
Help From Committees
Aiding Meckler as president of
the congregation and Rabbi Harry
z. Schectman as spiritual leader
in bringing Beth EPs dream to
fruition have been two key COM
mittees of the congregation. The
building committee is headed by
Sam Smith and includes Joe Gross,
Abbott H. Goldenkoff, Albert
Wild, H. Rubenstein, Herman
Lange and David Arthur. Men,
bers of the finance committee are
Irving Katzke, chairman; M. E.
Raskin, H. M. Dreiseszun, al
Lando and Joseph Fuchs.
Architect for the new building
was Pete Hauskens.
Congregation Beth Ell had its
inception in 1926 with the organ

president, Max Reiter secretary
