BACKWARD OR FORWARD?
The New Year Is traditionally the time for
looking backward, and a time for looking for
ward. Whether a person, a business firm, or
community places the emphasis on the forward
hxk or the backward look Indicates which direc
tion that ixrion. business or community U going.
No one can aland Mill.
Only an Inexperienced or foolish person will
disregard the past It Is the basis for arriving at
decisions effecting the present and the future.
But. oddly enough, much of the progress of this
world lias been made by people who have been
very little concerned with tradition and things of
the past, but who have had their eyes on the
future not too distant future but far enough
ahead of the crowd to be able to recognize op
portunity and be prepared when the opening
arrived.
Tills fact enme to the writer's attention again
and again In the Thoenlx (Ariz.) area. People
basing Judgments on the past could see nothing
that could possibly set off the phenomenal ex
pansion that hns occurred during the past decade
and particularly during the past three or four
years.
Why did these folks fall to see what was
coming?
The answer Is fairly obvious. The unusual tends
to become commonplace, and the out aider
sometimes sees what the resident has always
taken for granted. That seemingly was the case
with many In the rhoenlx area.
When the boys came home from the wars,
however, a new era came into being. Tradition
was brushed aside, and change began, whether
wanted or not. The new generation saw the pos
sibilities, did some careful planning, some adver
tising, some promotion, obtained financing, and
the result Is history.
Today, rhoenlx is one of the fastest-growing
areas In the West and actually has little more
to offer than many other areas, particularly the
Pacific Northwest. They simply had a program
and told the world about It.
You say, "So what? What do we care what
happened In Arizona?"
The point, It appears, Is simply this: Oregon Is
about where Arizona was some five or six years
ago, so far as industrial development is con
cerned. Wo have a good year-round climate,

HOW TO
MAKE YOUR
HEATING
DOLLAR
GO FARTHER!
Make certain your
house is well insulated,
and that your door and
windows are weather,
stripped. This cuts heat
loss and gives you more
value (or your heating
dollar.
Try to keep drapes
drawn and shades pulled
at night and in rooms not
in use because heat
passes readily through
window glass.
You can save heat by
closing off rooms at night
where windows are
raised. If the room has a
separate thermostat, set
it as near the outside
temperature as possible.
If your furnace has air
filters, keep them clean
Dirty filters slow down
air circulation and make
your furnace work harder

In a column about their local
hospital. Since I have Just start
ed the duties of Administrator,
this seems to be a good time to
get started.
There are many things the
average person does not under
stand nbout a hospital. People
ask me and other hospital em
ployees many questions.
"Why can't I visit Aunt Annie
at dinner time?"
"Why do you charge a certain
amount for that service?"
If you have a question you
think would be of Interest to
others, ask me and I'll put it in
this column together with the
nnswer.
The rest of today's column I
will devote to a discussion of
the reason we have made a con
siderable number of changes in
the operation of the hospital in
the past few days
The financial situation at the
hospital Is such that measures
must be taken to Improve on the

sldcred to accomplish this has
been to consolidate all of the
patients on the main floor. Al
though this would greatly In
crease the efficiency of operat
ing the hospital, lt presents
problems of lack of space and of
a medical nature. At the present
time we are not making this
move although lt may be neces
sary in the future.
There are many things the
people of this comunlty can do
to help us at the hospital. In fu
ture articles In this paper I shall
tell you of our operation, the
problems that arise, and how
you can help. At this time I
would like to make an appeal
for more ladies to Join the Hos
pital Auxiliary. You can be of
immeasurable help to us. Call
June Spencer at 6-9160 or Mrs
Omar Rietmann at 8-7279 and
sign up.
I would like to say "Thanks"
to all of the pepole who have of
fered me their congratulations. I
believe that with the help and
co operation of the people of ths
community, the County Court,
the medical staff, and the em
ployees at the hospital, the
Board of Trustees and I can
solve our present diflcultles and
any others that come in the fu
ture.

Take a Tempest out on the highway and put it through
its paces. This car is a whiz at moving into fast-stepping
company on an expressway. Takes you from a standing
start to a safe operating speed in seconds . . . gets you up
a steep hill in high gear.
Run the Tempest over the roughest road you can find. It
rides like the big ones because it's balanced! The engine's
up front the transmission's in the rear. And it's got
independent suspension at all four wheels. Tires dig in
firm on curves and turns. Full 15-inch wheels make car
look big. Tires last. Brakes run cooler.
Before it hit the market, Tempest had 3,000,000 miles of
testing by engineers, pro drivers and a team of teenagers.
Its reliability checked out 100. Owners have rolled up
millions more. The only kick is the one it puts back in
driving. Try it!
