Drunk drivers handled differently D r in k in g a n d d riv in g continues to be a major problem facing young people and adults in Oregon and throughout the nation. The following item is taken from a r e c e n t N a tio n a l G u a r d publication and it indicated how other countries handle drunk drivers. Austrialia: The names of convicted drunk drivers are published in the local newspapers under the heading: “Drunk and in Jail.” Malaya: The driver is jailed; if he is married, his wife is also jailed. F in la n d , E n g la n d , and Sweden: * Drunk drivers are automa tically jailed for approximately one year. South Africa: The drunk driver is given a 10-year prison sentence, a fine of $10,000 or both. Turkey: Drunk drivers are taken 20 miles from town by police and forced to walk back under escort. Bulgaria: A second conviction of drunk driving is your last. The punishment is execution! San Salvador: Drunk drivers are executed by firing squads. If a person in Oregon knew that any of the above were possible consequences of drinking and driving, I’m sure the numbers doing so would be greatly reduced. (Absracted from the May, 1981 A g . E d u c a tio n S o c ie ty bulletin) IHS funds limited to emergency needs TO THE CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE WARMS SPRINGS . . . The limited funds a v a ila b le fo r the C o n tra c t H e a lth Service Program make it essential that we restrict all care purchased from private vendors (hospitals and doctors outside of Warm Springs) to that which is urgent and emergent. Urgent and emergent hospital care is care that must be done within 30 days or less to preserve life, limb or organ— and urgent and emergent non hospital care in places where d irect serv ices are not available. This condition will continue through the end of the current fiscal year ending September 30, 1981. P a tie n ts seen a t th e Mountain View Hospital after hours will be seen only on a true emergency basis. If seen for other than urgent and emergent care the patient will be responsible for the payment of this bill. If in doubt about an emergency room visit, it would be best to contact a nurse or doctor by phone prior to going to the emergency room. On call numbers are: 553-1221 — Doctor on-call number 475-6055 — Doctor on-call number 475-3882 — Mountain View Hospital number The Warm Springs clinic will continue to be open during regularly scheduled hours - a p p o in tm e n ts a re r e commended.
