One Year $ 7.00 Two Years $13.00 One Year Two Years National Hospital Week Some of us fail to realize that hospitals do more than care for us when we're sick. They provide health education information and patient education programs that can help us maintain our health or that can assist us in dealing more effectively with ongoing health problems. In return, each of us has a responsibility to take advantage of the health information available, and to do what is necessary to stay healthy. During the week of May 9-15. Malheur Memorial Hospital will be joining with the nation's 7.000 hospitals, and the American Hospital Association in the observance of National Hospital Week. In this period of bicentennial awareness, this vear’s National Hospital Week theme, “Healthy Birthday, America!" seems altogether fitting and appropriate. We can take pride in the quality of health care services in our community and in our nation. Yet during this celebration. Malheur Memorial Hospital hopes to do more than highlight our upcoming birthday observance and its many quality health care programs. During this observance, hospitals across the nation will be encouraging each American to take a moment to think about his own health. Today, many health care experts are joining hospitals in suggesting that a way to improve each individual's health is to increase his awareness of what he can do to improve or stabilize his own state of health. Health economist Victor Fuchs writes in his new book. Who Shall Live?. "The greatest current potential for improving the health of the American people is to be found in what they do and don't do to and for themselves. Individual decisions about diet, exercise and smoking are of critical importance..." Supporting Mr. Fuchs' contention, recent studies have shown that life expectancy and better health care are significantly related to a number of basic individual habits including: three meals a day at regular times, breakfast every day. moderate exercise, seven or eight hours of sleep each night, no smoking, maintenance of a moderate weight level, and no alcohol or alcohol in moderation. Accordingly, during this year's National Hospital Week. Malheur Memorial is urging you to think about your own health. Think about participating in the health education or health screening programs offered through your hospitals and your community, and think about contributing to your own well being by adopting a more health-conscious life style. Working together, you and your community hospital car help guarantee that all of America's future birthdays will b< healthy ones, and that you will be there to share them. Gladys Newbill, President Malheur Memorial Hospital Auxiliary PROCLAMATION 1976 National Hospital Week WHEREAS: May 9-15, 1976. has been designated National Hospital Week; and WHEREAS: The nation's 7,000 hospitals will be joining together during this week to proclaim: Healthy Birthday, Am erics! and; WHEREAS: The City of Nyssa wishes to recognize the contributions which Malheur Memorial Hospital and its employees have made to maintaining and improving the health care of all citizens of this City; NOW THEREFORE: I Donald L. Oldemeyer. Mayor of the City of Nyssa, do hereby proclaim the week of May 9 through 15. 1976. as National Hospital Week in Nyssa and urge that all citizens and all community organizations join in the observance. IN W H NESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City of Nyssa to be affixed, this 29 day of April. 1976. /s/ Donald L. Oldemeyer Mayor The Light Touch By Ernie Metcalf Editor, The Journal: We want to take this opportunity to congratulate the residents of the Adrian and Roswell communities on their selection of a new minister. You have made a wise choice of Bob and Kathleen Ball, and we know you will soon love them as we have for five years. It was not the choice of our congregation for them to leave us, but Bob felt he had been here long enough and felt we should have a change. They are sincere, devoted people and you will always find them doing more than their extra mile in giving of themselves. We lived in Nyssa for seven years and know there are many fine people in that area so feel you will give them a big welcome. We bid them a tearful farewell and send them to you with our love. Dick and Bobbie Miller and family Members of Gateway Pres bvterian Church. The Dalles. Oregon. Editor. The Journal: The reasons why the Juvenile Advisory Council unanimously recommended that the youth of Malheur County cited for traffic violations be handled by the Juvenile Department rather than the Justice of The Peace was because: first, with youth repeated traffic viola tions are usually indications of other troubles, or possible other troubles in the making, and they could receive help before this happened in some cases. Second. To give the youth a more uniform treatment with their traffic violations than could be done in the several justice of the peace courts. Futher it is found that the traffic violations take up only 15% or less of juvenile councilors time. Sincerely, Dellen Erickson. Chairman Malheur County Juvenile Advisory Council Editor. The Journal: All Democrats who read the Gate City Journal will. I'm sure, be interested in knowing that the leading Democratic Presidential Can didate J. Carter favors Nationalized Medical Care. Speaking before the Stu dent National Medical Assoc. April 16, 1976, in Wash. (D.C.), Carter criticized our medical system as being inefficient, un-sound. undi rected. etc. He says that the system has left us both "unhealthy and unwealthy". He said that, "as president. 1 would want to give our people the most rapid im provement in individual hea lth care the nation can afford, accommodating first those who need it most, with the understanding that it will be a comprehensive program in the end." Under Carter’s proposal, which would be phased in over a period of four years and which all Americans would be required to join, the Federal Government would set doctor's fees and impose controls to monitor the cost and quality of medical Care. This mandatory health care program would be financed through employer and em ployee payroll taxes as well as general tax revenues. Yours truly, Joseph Seward. Nyssa.

The advantages of the Meals on Wheels program are many, not only does it provide the home bound person with good. hot. nutri tious meals but this service also might allow certain persons will have contact five days a week by the persons delivering the meals, which is an important factor to senior citizens. The Meals on Wheels program is not limited only to senior citizens but to any persons who for some reason have difficulty preparing nutritious meals for them selves.
