Wheeler & Gilliam counties; $10 on elsewhere David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers Smart thinking Plans by Kinzua Corp. to build a wood fired electrical generating plant near its mill in Heppner sound like good energy conservation planning. According to Harry Kennison, general manager at kinzua, the generating plant would use waste wood from logging operations in the woods to fire its boilers and produce electricity to run the plant, and have a little left over. With the general concensus around the country that the US should get out from under the thumb of OPEC, and that energy is now becoming a somewhat scarce commodity, plans to use waste wood to generate electricity should be looked at seriously and closely. However, according to Kennison, Kinzua hasn't been able to get anyone's attention at the federal level where help could be available for this project. Granted, the project is not of the magnitude of a Boardman, or a Trojan, but it does represent sound conservation and smart thinking when it comes to energy. A renewable resource,' great volumes of which are rotting and going to waste each year in the forest, should not be ignored. Perhaps small projects like this one don't have political advantages as do construction of larger generating plants, but they do have a place in the energy picture of our country, and, in particular, our state, which is so rich in the renewable resource which would power plants like these.

The VA medical center in fiainsville. Fla . ha been told to reserve r medical and surgical licds for this purpose On Monday, while 13 Cuban refugees were nccupvine beds in the Tampa VA facility's psychiatric wards. Ivcn American veter ans applying for psychiatric care were denied admission due to lack of beds in the hospital's psychiatric care section. The Tampa VA hospital has been hit particularly hard by Carter Administration budget policies in recent years. I'n derfunding and understaffing at the hospital were causing denial of treatment to many eligible Tampa veterals long before the massive influx of Cuban refugees into Florida began. While this situation has its parallels at VA health care facilities across the United States, the problem in Tampa became so severe a year ago that the DAV and a number of VA physicians, themselves, called public attention to it. A headline in the Tampa Tribune-Times on June 24. 1979. stated that "Staff Doc tors Call Some VA Policies Medical Malpractice." A few of the physicians went so far as to charge that some veterans had died because of these policies, which resulted directly from inadequate bud geting. "I'm astonished by the crass insensitivity of giving priority medical care in VA facilities to undocumented aliens at a time when men and women who fought in our nation's wars are being turned away at the door." said DAV National Commander Paul L. Thompson. He noted that the situation could only become worse as more Cubans enter VA hospi tals, filling the beds allotted to them. The DAV has learned that Carter Administration officials have contacted other VA medical centers in Flori da, searching for hospital beds in which to place Cuban refugees requiring medical attention. "This is a clear indication of how the Carter Administra tion really fells about the nation's commitment to its war veterans-how its policies have become the complete opposite of what they should be." said Thompson. "To show humanitarian concern for the refugees is one thing, but how much humani- i.'iri.i!' ciincern has 1 1 u C ii N-r Vti- M'l-'lM'inii slum n ht 'lie Mil .iml iliv. idled r'rt'.m ir. 1 heal'h mtv ) i tioni the iliiniu 'he last :l' . ...
