from Seattle.
Wadsworth also pointed out that
the service organizations have
made many inspections of the hos
pital and "no discrepancies were
found." In fact, Dennis Sullivan,
national field service representa
tive of the American Legion in

organizations since Dr. Wadsworth
assumed leadership." (Wadsworth
took over administration of the of
fice Aug. 30, 1953)
As an example of the effective
ness of Wadsworth's administra
tion, Church said, is the new $150,
000 physical medical rehabilitation
building which will be dedicated
next month. He said it is the first
permanent type building construc
tion since 1936.
Turning to the dietetics depart
ment, Dr. Wadsworth pointed out
that eisht people in the department
were recently retired because of
physical disabilities. As a result,
he said, the department had to be
reorganized. It was reorganized
under dietician Mrs. Marie Bol
duc, who came here highly recom
mended from the San Francisco
regional office, and has a na'ional
reputation in dietetics, Church
said. Church (Continued that after
the reorganization, an "improved
service has resulted at actually
lower cost."
The Roseburg hospital has about
380 full-lime employes and has
been recertly authorized more
personnel. Church said. It handles
about 625 patients. The hospital
has a full staff of physicians and
psychiatrists for the first time
in years, Wadsworth said.
Wadsworth also said the stale
VFW service officer had even
made an inspection tour recently
and had found nothing amiss. At
that lime, the officer did raise a
question about the grade of meat
served to pat'ents. From corres
pondence received from him since
the answer given was sausiaciory.
The question of quality of meat
was due to a recent change in pro
curement of meat. Pre-cut meat
is now purchased instead of whole
carcass meat.
Sutherlin Serial
Election Slated; ,
MC Cancels Vote
Sutherlin residentj Monday will
vote on a serial levy to raise $30,
000 a year over the next five years
for school construction in the
scnool district.
At Myrtle Creek, however, elec
tion on two bond issues for $55,-
000 and $40,000 nriffinallv oh-wl
uled for Monday has been cancel-
ieo, according to the Myrtle Creek
Mail.
The Sutherlin levy, which would
add about 6 mills to the property
tax burden, is being asked by the
school board and a school plan
ning group.
It has been estimated there that
growth of the district will be such
that 10 additional classrooms will
be needed in the district in the
next five years. It's planned now,
conditional to the approval of the
lew. to start a four - classros
addition to West School next
summer.
. Later, it's anticipated, four
more elementary rooms would be
built in the district and some im
provements made to the junior
high school. Each of the elemen
tary units would cost about $40,
000. it's estimated.
The Myrtle Creek eleotion was
called off because of an error in
publication of a legal notice, the
Hail said. Action was taken by
the school board Wednesday night.
The board will meet again Mon
day for further consideration of
the issues.
The $55,000 issue would be for
construction of an industrial arts
building and. other improvements
at the high school, while the $40,
000 issue would provide building
of a multipurpose room 'at Tri-
Lity School.
Winston Officials
Studying Return
To Water District
Winston city council and plan
ning commission members met in
special session this week to mull
the problem of providing residents
with an adequate waier supply.
The city's rejoining with the
Winston - Dillard Water District
seemed the only adequate solution
to the group, according to City
Recorder nay Harrison.
Harrison said the council would
take further action on the matter
.when they meet again July 21 in
the citv's offices. The city auto
matically left the district when il
was incorporated, Harrison added.
In order to rejoin the district it
would be necessary for Winston
residents to vote approval, as well
as persons residing in the dis
trict. The city recorder pointed out
that in order to get sewers in the
city an adequate and definite sup
ply of water was necessary. The
city budget now contains a sewer
sinking fund of about $"9,000, he
said.
Council members want to know
how Winstonites feel about the
proposed consolidation, he contin
ued, and thev hooe a good show of
residents will attend the coming
council meeting. Mayor Frank
True presided over the Wednes
day evening meeting.
