Heppner Needs Another Doctor In order to keep Pioneer Memorial Hospital open and up-to-date, there will have to be more use made of the fa cilities. To insure this Heppner needs another doctor, pref erably a surgeon. Concentrated effort by every individual and organization win dc caiiea upon, Jtie effort may have to include finan cial assistance in several forms. Last week the Soroptimists heard two medical students explain the Preceptorship program arranged by the head of me tamny Practice Division of the Oregon Medical School. i wemy-mne sopnomores spent their vacation terms with phys icians in larger and smaller towns which included Bandon, John Day, Prineville, Burns, and Mountain Home in Idaho. So they can be attracted to smaller towns. Their's was a duo-program: Extern program at St. An thony in the morning and Preceptorship program in the af ternoons in the doctors' offices. Hopefully Heppner's two doctors and Pioneer Memorial Hospital could become interested in a similar program for next summer. Another Tip How to Bring a New Doctor To a Rural Community CHICAGO Here's a tip for the rural community that doesn't have a physician and wants one: "Look for an MD who grew up in a small community, perhaps even In the same part of the country," suggests the current AMA UP DATE (JulyAugust). Some 132 rural counties in 26 states are presently with out a nonfederal physician. "Paradoxically, most MD's who live and practice in rural areas enjoy their work," says Dr. Bond L. Bible, secretary of AMA's Council on Rural Health. By Jack Zimmerman ful, 1972 would see voters bal loting on at least 24" issues as well as trying to decide who will occupy some mighty im portant offices. Several times in recent history voters have faced a dozen or more such issues in a single year. But the greatest number of statewide measures was established in 1952 when the ballot listed a total of 18. Next heaviest recent year was 1970 one less, for a total of 17. Chances are slim, however, that all petitioners will succeed. Since its inception in 1902, the people have used the initiative petition only 219 times. And the referendum has been invoked only 48 times in the same period. The battle between legislative wisdom and the people s will is really a pair of confrontations, The first skirmish obtaining sufficient signatures, now is under way. The second, the ac tual fight at the polls, is more than a year away. Whatever the outcome, each will play a significant role in an Oregon election year already promising campaigns for Presi- on their own and to repeal acts by elected Legislators as welL The cheek-and-balance sys tem is further refined by a re quirement that legislated Con stitutional Amendments must be referred to the voters. All of this tends to expand citizen participation in the Dem ocratic process.

Nearly half the physicians polled in a Council survey who were practicing in towns smaller than 2500 said they were brought up in a small town, Dr. Bible says. AMA is helping smaU communities solve their medical care problems in several ways. The Association's Physicians' Placement Service helps communities find a doctor, and vice Versa. Particularly in sparsely-populated areas, "we urge groups of communities to establish a centrally-located medical cen ter with a group practice, together with mobile health units or srtellite health stations," Dr. Bible says. "Thanks to to day's automobiles and roadways, a doctor may be 15 or 20 miles away In distance, but only minutes away in time." In one 4000-square-mile area of Washington State, with ' a population of five persons per square mile, AMA is sup porting a pilot project to extend the capability of medical services in such areas. "It's a team approach, basically, in which the area's eight doctors coordinate their own efforts, and those of physician's assistants (called Medex), nurse practitioners, social workers and community health people," Dr. Bible explain. , (Medex are former medical corpsmen, returned from the armed forces, who have been retrained to serve as physician's assistants). All About Horses By D WIGHT STEWART Bill Morse of Beaumont Texas asks My partner and X bare a double horse trailer. His horse ' hauls fine. My horse climbs the outside walls. I hare tried him on both sides of the trailer, but he stiU does it How can I stop thii? You didn't tell me what kind of divider you have in the trailer. If it is, as I suspect, a solid one, this is probably your troublemaker. Many horses will climb the wall when hauled next to a solid partition. Most trailers and many horse vans have a divider, made of pipe. This lets the horse take a small step sideways on the turns, and so he stops the waU climbing. In the case of an extra large horse, it is sometimes nec essary to give him the whole trailer or at least move the par tition over, so that he has more room. Jennifer Jones, Shreveport La wants to know What can be don about warts on a Yearling's nose? Are they contagiousT W1U they do any harm? Many young horses from a year through two years get warts. They don't seem to cause much trouble except in rare cases or when they are bumped or scratched; at which time they bleed quite freely. The veterinarian tells mo they are contagious to other young horses. Regular applications of mineral oil will remove most of them. However, if you can't get rid of them this way, your veterinarian can give them an injection with a needle and the warts disappear. In rare cases a second injection is need ed. Colts or young horses seem to outgrow them in most cases, but if you plan on showing your colt, you should get rid of the warts. Amendments and new statutes, appear on General Election bal lots only. The same applies to shoulder and turned over. This was a close call but he was un hurt.

Didn't Concerning Kindergarteners Ten new Kindergarten moth ers attended the meeting held Aug. 6. The main purpose of the meeting was to explain the 4 C program of Federal Aid for kindergartens. This is operated under the social security pro gram. For every 1.00 contribut ed locally, 3.00 Is received from the Federal Government. The Is sue had to be voted upon, and was accepted, therefore an ap plication was sent in. If the Heppner Kindergarten is acceptable for Federal aid, the money will be used to enlarge the budget and format There would be 2 classes of kinder gartens, one coming In the morning until 11 then given the option to cat or not, in the cafe torium.

Please ask only one question per sheet Then watch this column for the answer. QUESTION: We hare a water ocntrol din. trict in our county that annu ally certifies special assess ments to the assessor for exten sion on the tax roIL This year the assessor discovered an error in the certification to him. Does the assessor hare the authority to correct this error? ANSWER: No. The assessor acts as an agent of the board of supervis ors in making entries certified to him and cannot act independ ently of them except to correct a clerical error made by the assessor's office. If the board of supervisors finds that an er ror has been made in the cer tificate, the board should file an amended certificate with the assessor correcting the error.

Pioneer Ponderings By W. S. CAVERHILL Responsibility Is Needed It appears that organized la bor and other pressure groups have taken over our economic destiny, and so far have not shown much concern for the general stability needed in our fiscal behavior. Geographically and politically we are a union of fifty states, but our economy is dominated by a platform of unrelated unions. That being the case, perhaps Congress should be abolished and a un ion of unions be set up to ex ercise the responsibility that they are asking for. Sharon C. Winters Here to Visit Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Winter were here last week visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Merlin Cantin.
