Thanks for caring
We would like to express our
deep gratitude to all of those
people who offered consolation
and comfort at the loss of our
wife and mother, Bessie David

We feel we are very fortunate
to have so many people stand

Thank you elders
Dear Elders,
T h a n k yo u f o r y o u r
hospitality and for having
participated in the workshop
conducted at the senior
Citizens Center June IS, 1981.
Your life experiences will
enable efforts such as this
project to better address the
mental health problems that
face Indian people today.
I will attempt to meet with a
number of you on an individual
basis to follow-up on the issues
and concerns that you raised. I

opportunity to benefit from
your counsel and wisdom.
Again, thank you for having
shared your lunch and facilities
with me.
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.

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.

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
