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.

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. Evolution

The question of resolving
the conflicts of Christian
beliefs with the theory of
evolution will be dealt with by
Pastor Lloyd Perrin as he
talks on "Evolution and the
Cross" Saturday, October 22,
at 11 a.m. in the Seventh-day
Adventist church.
A friendly invitation is given
to all.
"Discipline in the Home," a
film designed to help parents
to a more effective relation
ship with their children, will
be presented by a joint effort
of the Heppner Lutheran,
Episcopal and United Method

with the Heppner Elementary
School. The film will be shown
twice, once on Sunday, Otober
23 at 8 p.m. in the basement of
the United Methodist Church,
and once on Tuesday, Oct. 24
at 8 pm. in the Heppner
Elementary School. A nur

showings.
In the film Dr. Howard
Hendricks of Dallas Seminary
declares that the family needs
an authoritative base shared
by both parents from which to
grow. He explains that just as

Movie screened
at Christian Center
In a time when a number of
films are appearing on the
subject of the return of Christ,
A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
portrays what might happen
in the life of an individual
caught up with living only for
the present, as millions of
Christians suddenly and unex
plainedly disappear. The pic
ture portrays with devastating
reality the biblical prediction,
"there will be no place to
hide."
The public is invited to view
this film on Thursday, Oct. 20,
at 7:30 p.m. at the Christian
Life Center, on the corner of
W. Willow & Gale Streets,
Heppner.
