but could be used on animals.
Several individuals appear
ed at the board meeting to
complain about recent increa
ses in daily room costs for
non-welfare residents of Pion
eer Memorial's nursing home
unit. Rates have risen from
just over $23 in summer of 1977
to the current maximum daily
rate of $29.50.
Others complained that cer
tain charges were not clearly
itemized, and that discrepen
cies existed in rates charged
to nursing home residents who
were apparently receiving
similar services.
"You're asking 13 people
(the non-welfare nursing
home residents) to make up a
$30,000 loss for the nursing
home," complained Jewell
Hager. "The elderly shouldn't
be penalized." Mrs. Hager
suggested the board consider
attempt to pass a bond issue
similar to one approved in
Wallowa Opunty which would
serve to subsidize some of the
nursing home expenses.
The board is expected to
study the nursing facility fee
situation and report on the
matter during its next meet
ing. In other developments dur
ing Tuesday's meeting, Byr
nes reported that he has been
informed that three physic
ians have expressed interest
in locating practices in the
three-county area of Morrow,
Wheeler and Gilliam. One is
scheduled to arrive in Morrow
County for interviews and
tours on Oct. 15.

ing of the hospital board
during the Tuesday session.
The three were recently
appointed to the board to fill
vacancies created by the
resignations of Larry Mills,
Dick Sargent, and Hubert
Wilson.

Bennett blasts lack of planning
for Columbia water use
Oregon's water develop
ment policy, as it pertains to
the Columbia River, "is hope
lessly inadequate," Democra
tic District 55 representative
candidate Chuck Bennett told
the Chamber of Commerce
group meeting in Moro Tues
day. The inadequacy of Columbia
River water resource plann
ing "is a direct result of a lack
of action by the State Legisla
ture on water issues, and a
lack of forcefullness and
direction on the part of the
Water Policy Review Board
and the Department of Water
Resources," Bennett said. "At
present, there is really no
state policy governing our use
of Columbia River water."
The District 55 candidate
stated that at present, Oregon
"couldn't enter into negotia
tions with Washington or
Idaho" on the Columbia water
use issue, because "we're
working in the dark we have
no policy and we're using old
information that doesn't fit
today's needs." The two
neighboring states, he noted,
"appear to have their policy
