Are Named
Members of the Board of
Directors of Santiam Memor
ial Hospital at Stayton had
an opportunity Thursday
night of seeing how the new
air conditioning system oper
ates, and expressed their ap
proval of its installation. They
also saw the new wall to wall
carpeting in the west patient
wing. A nurse said: “it cer
tainly makes a difference in
the work, and we’re not near-
lv as tired at the end of our
shift.”
Another new device at San
tiam Memorial is heart mon
itoring equipment. Patients
in this special room can be
connected with the monitor
ing system, and their heart
beat is recorded on a small
screen in the nurses’ station.
One room has been changed
into an intensive care room,
and another adjacent room
is now used as a recovery
room.
Administrator Gale Chris
tensen told the board that at
the present time it is not nec
essary to have a special nurse
where heart patients are kept
This is a saving to the patient.
The use of the equipment cost
the patient $1.50 an hour. This
is less than the charge in most
hospitals. Christensen also
said that non-professional per
sonnel at the hospital had
been given a raise in pay,
but because of a good year
in 1967 no increase was made
in room rates. Rates at San
tiam are the lowest in the
Willamette Valley.
The administrator was giv
en permission by the board
to write Stayton Radio & TV
giving them the green light
on installing television sets
in hospital rooms. The sets
will be wall mounted, so they
will be out of the way. Verne
Choate, owner of the firm
said installation would meet
all fire regulations, and that
the sets would have pillow
speakers and remote control
so patients could operate the
sets themselves.
Mrs. Lura Fair, president
of the hospital auxiliary re-
ported they are still
making money on their rum
mage sale. The Auxiliary also
voted to pay six months’ rent
of the heart monitoring equip
ment, which has been leased
for $154.91 per month. Be
cause of the high cost of the
equipment, the board figured
it was cheaper to lease than
to purchase.
Board President Don Mof
fatt named the following to

May flowers as the saying
goes, and March went out like
it came in, like a lamb.
Total precipitation for the
month of March in the Detroit
area according to weatherman
Joe Muise was 6.14,-2.5 less
than normal.
Normal precipitation for the
month of March over a 24
year record is 8.8. The great
est amount of rainfall in a
24 hour period occurred on
the 25th when the area re
ceived 1.04 inches. The record
for a 24 hour total precipita
tion for March is 2.82 on the
30th 1963.
There was no snow in
March 1968, however a record
snowfall for March came in
1951 when the area received
64 inches with the greatest
fall of 16 inches in a 24 hour
period recorded on the 6th.
Normal snowfall for the
month of March based on a 24
year average is listed at 13.5.
The driest March since 1944

only 1.34 inches of precipita
tion. March this year was a-
bout 5 degrees warmer than
normal. A high of 70 degrees
was recorded on the 1st and

March was recorded as 23
degrees on the 30th. Based on

listed as 20 degrees on Feb.
14th. In comparison, a cool
10 degrees below zero was re
corded in 1950, not 10 degrees
above as stated.
