IS3I - A numtn-r tf lleppnrr a golf M .me In Salem, enthukiatt Journeyed to IVndle. t.n on Wetliieday for a round of the holea on the fine coume there. A law concerning utandard for ambulance, passed by the l!H.l p-glklature, la one of undoubted good Intent, but it will cauxe a real prol letn here when It poea Into effect August 9. Till la Kilnted out by Will O'Harra. admlnlfitrntor of Iloneer Memorial hohpltal, In a column that he hn written for thl piijx-r, 'Know Your Hospital," that aprear on page 10. Under the law. the Stale Board of Health hat responnlblllfy for (M-ltlng and applying Mandards for ambulance vehicle, equipment and personnel. It require the lx)rd to make "reason able regulations" to assure driver and attendant are "phys ically, emotionally and educationally qualified to administer first aid." New regulation and requirements for ambulance coming a result of thl law nre at least tcmorarly Jeopardizing lo cal aervlre. Apparently to help administer the new law, a license fee of $100 Is now assessed to each vehicle. In addition, each one of the personnel Involved In operation of ambulances U assessed a $5 license. O'Harra points out. Qualification Imposed on ambulance drivers are such that few In Heppner are eligible to drive. Oliver Creswlck operated the ambulance as a public service until recently, but the heavy license fee together with demand on his time with the new appointment as county assessor made , It necessary for him to turn over the keys to the County Court. The county owns the nmbuan-e. A the hospital administrator understands the new law, when an unqualified driver take out an ambulance, his liability insurance is Invalid. Thus,' anyone who volunteers to save a fellow man in dire distress by taking the vehicle fo his aid, Is "sticking out his neck." O'Harra has a proposal that might answer the problem. He would like to cnliKt a corps of volunteers who would be willing to take training in first aid that would qualify them for the Job. This would entail some regular meetings, but the volunteers would bo reimbursed from fees collected on the ambulance run. O'Harra believes that the fees would Just about balance with the modest pay offered the ambulance personnel. Any In the community Interested in this proposal should contact O'Harra. In the meantime It is quite a dilemma: Who would hesitate to respond if he knew a fellow man were seriously Injured In an auto accident a few miles from town? But, on the other hand, can a person reasonably be asked to go In such an emergency without protection of liability Insurance and legal safeguards? For under the new law, a driver not qualified would be in vio latlon of law In taking out the ambulance. While basically good, the nu law makes it pretty tough for emergency service In an area such as ours where population Is relatively small and distances on emergency runs are often long. Calls are not frequent enough to operate the service as a business as in larger cities. No one Individual could hardly be asked to pay the fee, take the training and be responsible for calls. The corps of willing volunteers may be the best solution. table lamp that the young I ty Uer rauiing a norm to M'rout wa building ana ai njii OVer the diamond.

Included in the group of short wave en thusiasts were Earl Blake and Haskell Sharrard of Heppner. The picnic was sponsored by the La Grande "Hams" and others came from Baker, Walla Walla, Pendleton and McKenzle Bridge. A "swap" table, where the am ateurs exchanged parts and equipment, and "chow" were features of the picnic, Sharrard said. Don't impede progress if you must kick, kick toward the goal.

They managed to get to Bert's mother's home at Halfway even though their car was demolished and bought another car. Soon after, one of the children came down with the mumps. Just as things started improving, an other of their children came down with the mumps at the start of the second vacation week. But the Huffs were grimly de termined to have a good time. They went to Yakima and on to Zillah to visit Mrs. Huff's par ents, Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Burns, Bert got in some good fishing for silvers In Banks Lake and things at last seemed to be going rosy. On their homeward Journey, though, a siren whistled them down as they were going through Grandview. Bert looked at the speedometer. He was doing 35. But the officer said it was a 25-mlle zone. The fine: 15 bucks. So when you go to the First National Bank and see Bert, just smile and ask about the weather. Don't be so cruel as to ask him if he had a nice vacation. THKER HAS been a lot of talk In the past couple of years about a population explosion, I but a Persian cat, "Princess," owned by Mr. and Mrs. Randall Martin, lone, has exploded the feline population all by herself. Mrs. Martin says that Princess has produced two or three , batches of kittens, averaging five, each year for the past 11 years. That's something over 150. The Martins have given away part-Persians all over Oregon Roseburg, Pendleton, Portland, yes, and maybe even Gooseneck (which Is in Polk county). But now they have a problem. You guessed it. Princess has a new batch, and the Martins don't know any more people to call. The current quartet of kittens will be weaned and housebroken in two or three weeks. They are long haired, pretty and playful. You can have your choice of three females or one male. Phone 6-5)704. OVER AT the Jim Driscolls the' other night came trouble with a different kind of kitty. Their son, Tim, was sleeping outside with a couple other boys of the neighborhood. In the middle of the night, Mr. and Mrs. Post-1 master were awakened by a strong but familiar odor wafting through their open window. Jim got up and closed the window. hen the dawn came, thev learned that the nonchalant striped pussy had apparently walked right by the sleeping boys, perfuming the air as he proceeded, but he left them un- . scathed and unsprayed. ... , OVER AT lone.
