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

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.

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.

The Disneyland trip fund is
now over $6400.00 with about
$1200 left to raise. The
Community of Nyssa is really
behind the band and pushing
us to victory. A special surge
of gratitude is due to Mr. and
Mrs. Fisher, who donated
their time. food. cafe, and
services (Brownie's Buffet)
which raised about $1000.
Really a fantastic contribu
tion for which the whole band
is grateful.

Meals On Wheels
A Reality
The
Nyssa Ministerial
Association in cooperation
with the Malheur County
Information and Referral
Service and the Malheur
Memorial Hospital, is plea
sed to announce that the
Meals on Wheels program
has begun in Nyssa.
The meals are prepared at
the hospital and volunteers
deliver the hot meals to those
who request them. Having
the meals prepared by the
hospital means that even
special diets can be accom
modated for those who
require them. It is the noon
meal that is provided and this
service is five days a week,
Monday through Friday.
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. The meals are pre
sently being delivered by
volunteers from local chur
ches. but we are looking for
more volunteers.
For more information, con
cerning receiving the meals
or to help with delivering the
meals, call the Malheur
County Information and Re
ferral Service at 889-7651 or
