While running their trapline through the Owyhee breaks south of Owyhee Dam In early September, the two noticed that the colts were very thin and obviously orphans. Returning to their trapline in early October, they again saw the colts. Knowing that they could not live much longer if allowed to remain wild, they reported the colts tq BLM officials in Vale. They were given permission to catch the colts, take them home, and care for them until officials could investigate. HIM officials found the remains of a horse, probably their mother, near where the colts were located. Jerry Wilcox. Vale District Wildhorse specialists and Jim Duncan. State Brand Inspector, inspected the colts and found them unbranded and in poor physical health. Wilcox commended the Hites for their humanitarian efforts to keep the colts alive, and also for the way the incident was handled. Had they acted without first receiving Bl M permission, they could have been subject to fine and imprisonment under the Wild Horse Act of 1971. Malheur Memorial Hospital A Report To The People -------------- Oslo Christenson-------------- As the nation's life ex pectancy increases; as a so phisticated public demands an ever higher quality of health care; as hospital emergency room» are called on to serve the primary health needs of more and more people; and as medical progress requires the use of ever newer and more com plicated hospital equip ment—as long as these trends continue, the cost of health care will continue to rise despite the best efforts of hospital administrative per sonnel. There is a great deal that hospitals can do and are doing today to contain costs, and to assure more rea sonable increases in charges. One of the keys to saving money is to keep patients out of hospital beds as much as possible. It is generally vastly cheaper to treat a vertical patient than a horizontal one. Thanks to more active hospi tal utilization review com mittees. which examine cases to keep hospital stays to a minimum, the length of a hospital inpatient stay has on the average been reduced by one-half day during the past five years, from 8.4 to 7.9 days. At Malheur Memorial Hospital, the average length of stay is five days. Eventually utilization review committees hope to reduce by 20 percent, the number of hospital inpatient days. This could mean an enormous dollar savings annually to the nation's health care economy. One of the ways review committees help reduce stays is by recommending the Iran» fer of patients who no longer need full hospital attention, to the hospital's skilled Nursing Facility and to Nursing Home facilities that provide physician and nur sing services. More than 1,500 hospitals- now have such facilities.
