The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, October 20, 1977-THREE MORROW COUNTY COMMUNITY PEOPLE EVENTS HAPPENINGS Karmoh Bjella assumes nursinsr director post me i f Karmon Bjella, Pioneer Me morial Hospital's new Direc tor of Nursing, reflects a departure from tradition, be ing the first male nurse on the hospital staff. A native of Minnesota, Bjella received his B.S. de gree from Montana Sate University in Bozeman, Mon tana, before accepting the post in Heppner. He had completed his Registered Nurse training at a twoear college in Rochester, Minn., in 1974 and worked for a couple of years as an Intensive Care nurse before getting his de gree. Bjella said that he was not looking for a job at all when he first heard of the Heppner position but was planning to do graduate work in Bozeman. With wife Linda and 19-month-old daughter, Heather, Bjella said he'd done a lot of traveling since moving to Morrow County and feels "just about everything anyone could want is within an hour's drive." As Director of Nursing, Bjella 's position is mostly administrative though he will take care of emergencies and fill in on the floor in the future when necessary. His responsi bility is the entire nursing service at the hospital which includes scheduling, personel relations, interdepartmental relations, service education, and recruiting new nurses. Sue Greenup was Bjella's predecessor as nursing direc to and she still fills in to ease the shortage of nurses at the hospital. As Pioneer Memorial Hospi tal's first male nurse, Bjella said he felt nothing but acceptance from the staff and the community. He mentioned that 3 or 5 per cent of nursing students are now men, drawn primarily to operating, ane thesia and emergency special ties. While graduate work is still a future possibility, Bjella feels the nursing profession is starting to look more at what a person produces than the degrees he or she obtains. I i - a. a. k :5y . W .

This week in RELIGION Methodists discuss women's Bible role Film airs family ties At the October meeting of the Heppner United Methodist Women, Oct. 5, in the church basement, Vicki Tollefson pre sented an interesting program on "Women of the Bible." Those attending formed small groups and were given a few minutes to seen how many Biblical males they could list and then in the second, same time segment, how many Biblical females their group could list. Most of the first lists ran around forty names and most of the second lists eight to ten. - , 'Mrs. Tollefson then ex plained that women were mere chattels during the Old Testament times, were even less important that cattle. She said that female chldren were not even counted as family members. After the Christian era began women assumed much more significance. The Methodist Church of today considers the sexes of equal importance. Linda Breidenbach was hos tess for the October meeting. Justine Weatherford presided at the business session pre ceeding the evening's pro gram.
