Dublin Hospital opens new wing
[
Monday was moving
dby at the Dublin Medical
Center, but no one had
to, move very far and
everyone was smiling.
The new wing of fhe
hospital, under
construction for several
months, was ready to
move into. It was an
experience for the
patients. to occupy a
brand new room in a
spacious and colorful
area
Audrpy Shillingburg,
the first patient to arrive
for the new building,
[ came just in time for the
\ribbon cutting ceremony;
however, little Matthew
Keith didn’t wait and was
born at 6:30 a m.
He was the first baby to
occupy the new nursery
and his mother, Vickie,
was the first to use the
new obstetrical facilities.
The new wing, part of
a $2 million building and
renovation program for
Dublin Medical Center,
contains eleven private
bedrooms and six semi-
private rooms for a total
of 23 adult beds
Two special care units
with central station
patient monitoring
equipment, two
emergency rooms, two
X-ray rooms. four
obstetrical beds and six
nursery beds were also
opened on Monday.
The patient and patient
use rooms are of the
latest design for both
convenience and
function. They have
private showers, contain
all medical gases and
vacuum, and have all
electric beds. An antenna
system allows an-
ambulatory patient to be
monitored at the central
station but free of
connecting wires and
tubes
In the obstetrical unit,
babies can visit their
mothers from the nursery
through a private back
hall entrance This
isolated and private area
keeps the babies away
from the grown-up
patient areas
The Dublin Airport is
experiencing a boom
The nursery has its
own isolation room for
sick or infected babies in
the well planned and
functional unit.
One room of the
hospital is designed for
pediatrics as it has hall
view windows to make it
possible to keep a closer
check on the children.
Total completion of the
new construction,
renovation of the area
just vacated, ?and
installation of new
equipment is expected by
October. A formal Open
House for the public will
bd,announced at a later
date.
The Dublin Medical
Center is a part of the
Methodist Affiliated
Hospitals System and
John Hodges is the
administrator.
“This has been a long
awaited and anticipated
event.” Hodges said.
The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony held at the Dublin
■Medical Center Monday morning was conducted by
the^Oublin Chamber of Commerce and many were
in attendance, including those pictured, left to right.

Ed Fitzgerald and Jubel
Caldwell have created a
business boom at the
Dublin Airport.
When they “hung out
their shingle,” C & F
Aviation, Inc., back in
March, they had a lot of
hopes to do repair work,
engine overhauls and
annual inspections.
There was hardly an
airplane in sight, but they
began to arrive, slowly at
first, and then one day
last week, fourteen
planes sat on the ramp
awaiting their handiwork.
Last Saturday
morning, by 10 a m., two
planes belonging to Ira
Lee Brannan had come
and gone, two other
planes had stopped for
information, mainte-
nance on an unusual
plane flown by Ted
Brown for International
Chemicals was
completed, five more
planes were waiting for
attention, and then two
men from Stephenville
landed, chatted .a while
and were soon back in
the air.
A typical day, said
Fitzgerald and Caldwell,
except that one of the
waiting planes would
need its engine removed.
A factor rebuilt engine
was on its way by Yellow
Freinht truck from
Mobile," Alabama and
was due to arrive
Monday
This job would take
them two full days and
they must get started, but
another plane was just
landing.
Planes from as far
away as Mount Pleasant,
Brady, Benbrook and
Andrews come to Dublin
where the two men have
A&P licenses and 1A
licenses. Both are
important and A&P
stands for airframe and
powerplant, which
includes major engine
and airframe work
The 1A license is an
Inspection Authorization
to do the annual
inspections required of all
aircraft by the State of
Texas and the Federal
Government. The license
actually makes them an
agent of the government.
These annual
inspections include a lot
more detail than the
annual car inspections
with which we are all
familiar. Mechanical
failure or mechanical
related accidents account
for very few plane
crashes. Most are pilot
error, with some fuel
problems.
Both of the men fly
and Fitzgerald has been
Purves Baptist pastor
SS’Jil^cSS! John Hendricks is
is a student pilof.rcThey
keep a plane p the
airport for reft to
students and pilots.
There is also an instructor
available for flying
lessons.
Airworthiness Direc-
tives have created work
for the pair and they are
usually crankcases that
do not measure up to
inspections. The
manufacturer provides
the new “cases" at one
half price to the owners,
including replacement.
Parts and tires are a big
part of the business. Most
parts come from Dallas,
Fort Worth, and San
Antonio, and they drive
to get them mostly, but
sometimes fly.
An increase in people
at the Dublin Airport is
also noted in that Texas
Aeronautics Commission
and FAA maintenance
personnel make weekly
visits.
Ed Fitzgerald said, "We
have been well received
here, and we appreciate
the acceptance of local
merchants.”
In a few days aviation
fuel will be available for
sale at the airport and
that will further increase
traffic there.
