FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE
Everywhere Navy Lt. and Mrs.
Harlan Sager of Charleston,
South Carolina go, their one
and a half-year-old daughter,
Sarah attracts attention.
The petite, but active, Ko
rean girl was adopted by her
American parents when she was
five and one-half months old.
Her Oriental features
are
quite a contrast to her parents'
blondness.
The couple was stationed in
Idaho at the time and first ap
plied for adoption through the
state. But after learning that
few children were up for adop
tion and there would be a long
wait, the Sagers decided to apply
through the Holt Adoption Pro
gram which places Korean chil
dren. Holt Agency is based in
Eugene, the Sager’s home state.
Adopting a child of another
race was not really a big de
cision for them. The biggest
factor was simply they wanted
a child and they had children
to adopt.
The couple's greatest diffi
culty was red tape. It took al
most a year for the adoption to
go through.
After initial screening by
the agency and the home study,
the Sagers quickly negotiated
immigration and naturaliza-
tional legalities. Once Sarah’s
visa was approved, Holt Agency
made all travel arrangements
and Sarah came into Seattle
where the Sagers met her.
Of stumbling blocks along the
way, Mrs. Sager simply said,
"You have to keep your sense
of humor and a spirit of hope.”
Sager added, "Most adoption
laws in the U.S. are so ar
chaic. Only couples wanting to
adopt are really concerned
with the needed reforms.”
In raising Sarah, the Sagers
try to incorporate some of her
native culture. Among other
things the couple have close
Oriental friends.
Though they sometimes en
counter prejudice toward their

So you wouldn’t

caught short of money for holi
day spending. That’s
what
Christmas Club at First Na
tional is all about. A Christmas
Club account lets you accumu
late money gradually through
out the year - so when the
Christmas
season
comes
around you’ll have money es
pecially for holiday shopping.
Here’s how it works: You
choose either the Coupon Plan
which allows you to save $1,
$2, $3, $5, or $10 per week
for 50 weeks...or the Automatic
Plan which deducts from your
checking account any amount in
multiples of $5, monthly. Then
in early November you’ll re
ceive a check for your savings
plus interest earned. The Au
tomatic account will remain
open year after year, if you like.
Stop by the Nyssa branch of
First National and ask about
opening a Christmas Club ac

the money you’ve saved at First

Gal« Chri»t«n»«n, Administrator
This week we will cover three
short subjects
Hospital costs liave sky
rocketed along with all other
costs,
txit it is reassuring
to know that the hospital is able
to provide us with the best
possible care at a moment's
notice.
Many people ask. Why' hos
pital costs are so high
Labor accounts for approxi
mately 6Oy of the hospital's
total costs.
Let's take for
example the Hospital and a
Hotel or Motel
Hotels have
one employee for each six
guests. Motels less than this,
Hospitals have over two and
one-half employees for each
patient or fifteen times as many.
Hotel service includes use of
room, housekeeping, utilities
and maintenance, linen and
laundry, PBX service Hotels
provide only 2'>1 of the services
which are given in a hospital.
Hospitals in a<Mitii*i provide
meals
with room service,
special diets, 24 hour nursing
care, drugs, medications, all
ancillary medical service, and
often a credit plan.
Visitors
How can the visi
tor help'.’ Visit often, but leave
sooner Visit only during visit
ing hours. Keep conversation
light. Keep visitors to two at
a time.
Remember three is
a crowd
If you are ill your
self, do not visit the patient.
If you have a cold, a boil,
infection, or are sneezing, stay
away from the patient. Do not
sit on the
bed, either the
patient's or the one next to It.
If you are in a room where
other patients are, please keep
zolces down.
Re mem ter the
state law says that a visitor
may not smoke in a patient's
room of more than one patient,
Remember, a visit to the

commended rather than visit*
to the hospital. Your hospital
cares about Its patients.
Ambulance:
The Malheur
Memorial Hospital ambulance
is staffed by the Nyssa police
men. These men liave ail taken
the Emergency Medical Tech-
nician Course. In addition to
these men there are others in
the area who have also taken
the EMT course and are quali
fied to go on the ambulanca.
It you need the ambulance Phoat
372-2211, this is also the Hos
pital number.
The hospital
business office will refer your
call to the nurse
duty. The
nurse will ask you the circum
stances
that
require an
ambulance. This is necessary
so that needless runs are not
made.
Often more than UM
person
will
call
tor in
ambulance.
This
must tw
cleared before the amtiulanct
can be dispatched, The am-
bulance men will bring the
patient to the hospital and the
doctor of your choice will be
called and his orders will be
followed by the nurse ou duty.
It is requested that at the
earliest
possible
moment
friends or relatives of the in
jured persoo, come to the busi
ness office of the hospital, so
that the (ntient can be properly
admitted.
Also, in cases oí
unconsi lousness,
there are
certain questions the dir tor or
the nurse may wish to ask
about the patient.
Without the cooperation of the
policemen, the area would not
be able to support an ambulance.
Many Ilves have been saved
by (tie quick response of the
ambulance. Just another way
that your hospital cares.
