New office readied for county Morrow County Public Works Director Don Briggs hopes to be in his new office in about three weeks, he said last Friday. But his office won't exactly be new. The office building, which is being set up next to the County Road Dept. building off High way 207 east of the fair grounds, was obtained free because it is government surplus. It previously was used as office space on a nuclear site near Idaho Falls. The office building looks like a triple-wide mobile home made into nine offices. Two of the offices will be permanent ly used with the others being used as conference and stor age rooms, Briggs said. County Planner Dearie Seeger also will have an office there.

More information may be obtained by contacting Mar lene Turner Peterson at 676- By Justine Weatherford ..Only five members of the Pioneer Memorial Hospital Community Advisory Committee-Jim Bier, Evelyn Black. Carley Drake. Gladys Hobbs and Linda Tullismet with Administrator A.K. Felt and Ron Ellingson of Medco Inc. on Monday evening, June 16, in the Columbia Basin Cooperative meeting room. Felt announced as there was not a quorum of the 16-mem-ber citizens' committee pres ent, no official decisions could he made. Felt stated that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the incorporation of a hospital foundation, which would co ordinate the application of contributed funds and would lend continuity to the use of such funds. It could also seek and obtain federal grants. The foundation would be rather independent of the hospital's functioning and of its board and budget. Elling son reported that many Ore gon hospital foundations are operation successfully. The expenditures of their funds are approved or authorized by the hospital boards, and often the hospital administrator is designated as a nonvoting officer of the foundation, perhaps as its secretary. Committee chairman Gladys Hobbs called the meeting to order at the termination of the informal discussion about a hospital foundation. She immediatley turned the meeting over to Ellincsnn. He proceeded to review the tabulated respons es to the health survey made last March. He stressed that the 19 percent response to the survey was very good, that a 5 to 7 percent response is consider ed normal for mail surveys, and that the next highest participation In Oregon was 12.5 percent. In considering the survey results question by question, those present noted several evident facts, the most signifi cant being that citizens who responded to the survey are not very well informed about the health programs and services presently available to them. Those present con sidered several possibilites for better informing the public, including the use of tel-med recorded tapes which would give out information to anyone dialing them. It was felt that all commun ity health services might become more aggressive in disseminating information. It was suggested that more information about available services could be given to students in public school health classes Ellingson sug gested that local doctors and others in health services might prepare newspaper art icles: that professional health workers should speak to various groups, including the senior citizens and church groups, As the nonquorum meeting concluded it was determined that the committee would assemble again on the third Mondav of Julv. lone pastor to attend Rational Youth Event The Kev.
