Hospital Needs
Ambulance
Drivers
At Thursday's Pioneer Me
morial Hospital board meet
ing, a dire need for ambu
lance drivers was brought
out. Much time has been
purely donated to the cause
for some years. However,
It Is difficult to have the
ambulance manned on week
ends and the board would very
much like to obtain some
volunteer drivers. If this
is not possible, It was stated
it may be necessary to dls
' continue ambulance services
here.
The sprinkler system has
been completed at a cost of
$4387. The system has pipes
painted a light color making
it quite unobtrusive.
Room rates are $50. Pates
in Pendleton hospitals start
at $55.
The State Board of Health
requires more dishwasher
capacity in the kitchen.
Bob Lowe displayed a draw
ing of a new sign to be placed
on the lawn to identify the
hospital. He is donating the
sign.
Mr. Lowe said he had kept
close track of coal costs.
During the coldest weather it
cost 24 cents an hour to heat
the building. Year around
average cost is $5 a day.
A retirement program was
briefly discussed. Hospital
employees are not covered
oy the County retirement pro
gram. Just getting them into
the program would require a
cash investment of about
$11,000 which they do not
have.

last like meat and otner
substitutions are common
Chris Wheeler of the State
Engineers office told the
Chamber of Commerce Mon.
that no substitute for water
has been found.
Water can't be destroyed,
he said and the amount of
water Is essentially theme,
but In changing forms, Ice,
snow, glaciers, streams,
lakes and oceans. The ground
water however Is an unknown
factor. It Isn't measurab
le. Processes are being per
fected that may provide a rea
sonable Inference of the
ground water supply.
In regards to the under
ground water supply, Oregon
operates on a different phil
osophy tlan the southwest
part of the country. In the
southwest they operate as on
a mining operation using up
the ground water supply. With
the supply, they plan tobulld
up a civilization that will
""ball" them out when it
Is used up.
In Oregon the theory U
not to take more out than
goes In. In 1965 the Ord
nance Area 12 x 15 miles
was declared a critical area.
Later the Butter Creek area
south of the Ordnance area
was declared a critical
ground water area.
Ranchers who Invest a great
sum of money in Irrigation
wells and pump Installations
should be protected from hav
ing it taken away. Develop
ments shouldn't be permit
ted that would deprive the
farmer from a reasonable
chance of paying back his In
vestment. Wells In this area are
dropping 30 feet a year. Mr.
Wheeler was uncertain whet
her this would level out or
continue to drop. These wells
are over-drafted in that more
is taken out than is flowing
In. "This may necessitate
that some wells be shut down
or shift irrigation to ano
ther well", he said. "This
may be necessary to maintain
a stable level of water to
protect the user."
More data with measuring
devices and further studies
will precede the public hear
ings before a Declaration or
der will be given.
There are 45 wells in the
Ordnance area that are mea
sured on a periodic basis.
He said " recharging wells Is
not as simple as it sounas.
"Willow Creek Dam wouldn't
make any significant change
in the ground water level." ;
Bob Jepsen-
Bob Jepsen was named Mor
row county Father of the Year
by Mrs. Merlin Hughes, Cow
belles president. His name
was contributed by the Epis
copal Youth group. The pre
pared portfolio will be sub
mitted in the state contest
for the state Father of the
Year contest. He will be
the guest of honor at a steak
barbecue In June.
Mayor Bill Collins said he
had word from Senator Bob
Packwood's office that there
would be a hearing on the
Willow Creek Dam on May

sent from the Chamber, City
and County stating their posi
tions on the dam.
Dick Sargent announced

The Housing committee
