The new X-ray gear, to be housed in the existing radi ology room at the hospital, will for the first time give the hospital the ability to perform nearly all types of diagnostic X-ray examinations includ ing upper and lower G.I.'s here in Heppner. Such exam inations previously had to be performed at larger hospitals in Pendleton and Hermiston. funds for purchasing the X-ray equipment were re ceived through a grant from the federal government's de partment of Health, Educa tion and Welfare. No local finances were required. A second, portable X-ray device will be ordered later this year. Total cost for the new X-ray hardware will total about $105,000. Funding also appears immi nent for a new addition to the rear of the hospital, which will house a new emergency room, doctor's examination room and office, and waiting room. Architect's plans for the addition are in the process of being finalized for approval by the hospital board and HEW's Region 10 office in Seattle. According to Pioneer Memor ial Administrator Bob Byrnes, Region 10 officials told repre sentatives of the Heppner hospital that if all goes according to plan, the addition would be ready for occupancy by October of this year. The addition is expected to cost in the vicinity of $100,000. Pioneer Memorial was one of only two hospitals in Oregon to receive federal grant fund ing under the project which will pay for the new X-ray gear and hospital addition. The grant was applied for in 1977. The new addition would provide for adjoining labora tory, emergency and X-ray rooms, which would result in an "efficient, compact ar rangement," Byrnes said.

They are there to ALERT YOU that a natural gas transmission pipeline is underground. The PGT pipeline traverses hundreds of miles. It goes under freeways, along highways and country roads, through farms and residential areas, from Canada through Idaho, Washington and Oregon to California. The pipeline is securely buried along this route and marked at strategic locations by the signs you see illustrated here. The pipe, however, cannot be seen from above ground, so we urge you call us BEFORE you start to dig in the vicinity of a caution sign. Call us anytime, day or night. We will pinpoint the exact location of the PGT pipeline. This service is FREE TO YOU. Most accidents on gas pipelines are caused by careless digging. Don't let it happen to you.
