THESE SMALL MUSTANG COLTS have a
new home and regular daily meals, thanks to
Jim and Joe Hite of Adrian. 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
