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.

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

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.
