Show FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1972 Page Eight DmesDm ' BY DIANE WEI LEN MANN The past three days have been exciting. We had the honor of escorting Col. ames Irwin, Apollo 15 Astronaut around Utah. We visited all of the states two and four year colleges, as well as BYU, where he addressed an assembly of over 15,000. Col. Irwin came back to visit Utah, because he graduated from East High School in 1947, and he loves our mountains. Col. Irwin took the opportunity during our short air flights by plane and helicopter to answer some of our questions of his youth, training and background. He moved lawns to earn the money for high school. Then he worked as a stock boy in a department store. During this time he secured an appointment to the Naval Academy. He attested to the value of an excellent education. Commenting on the value of dedicated teachers who can inspire and stimulate imaginations. He then praised adults who guide youth to goals. He spoke at the Indian School in Brigham City, where he said God was with us on the moon. I felt closer to Him there than ever before. When asked about activities in their home he commented they had four children ranging from 7 to 14 and their goal as parents had been to make their children as independent as possible. They do not have a TV set. Each evening is spent on reading. The children all have planned programs for reading the classics. Col. Irwin and his wife are both accomplished artists, and their home is filled with art they enjoyed creating. Accompanying Col. Irwin was a charming and brilliant man, Bill Der Bing, who told us about the fine organization in the Irwin home and shared secrets with us. The day Col Irwin was taking his first steps on the moon his wife was teaching her Sunday School class at the 7th Day AdInter-mounta- in Keith Warshaw, March of Dimes campagn director, Salt Lake Chapter, shown with Tami Lynn Millus, 1972 Chapter Poster Child. birth defects from happening. Serving with Mr. Warshaw as March of Dimes Campaign Team community chairmen are Wendell Bennett, Clifford L. Brown, Mone Jensen, C. Craft Hurst and William James Mortimer. In addition, Mrs. Gilbert Shelton is in charge of the Telerama, Mrs. Kris Hollberg has Mothers March and Chuck Norberg is chairman of the March and the Under the leadership of Keith Warshaw, Salt Lake Chapter campaign director of the March of Dimes, is well into the 1972 campaign. Mr. Warshaw has accepted the challenge to combat birth defects for the third year and this years goal is $130,000 Davis for the Salt Lake-Sout- h county area. Last year a total of $102,000 was reached which was well above that being raised as Mr. Warshaw took charge of the annual drive. In stressing the theme for this year that Birth Defects Are Forever, Unless You Help, Mr. Warshaw stated the world today is filled with clenched fists and it's up to us to make those fists open into extended hands and help these children live as normal a life as possible. The primary goal must be to prevent Bike-A-Tho- n. The March of Dimes will have contributed nearly $400,000 to the Birth Defects Treatment Center in Primary Hospital before this year is out. Their chapters also played a significant role in the rubella immunizations program this last year and are increasing their efforts to see that women needing the Rh serum receive it. Momentum is also gaining in the areas of prenatal care and diagnosis of genetic defects.

The 618 openings are contrasted to last years 377 for the State. Also initial claims for unemployment benefits, at 1,356, were 475 fewer than for the final week in 1970. There was little change in the number of continuing claims for unemployment benefits, with 11,806 filed during the week ended January 1, 1972, compared to 11,817 for the week of December 25. But the most current total is 453 less than for the last week in 1970. A citizen is a man who demands better roads, bigger and better schools, a new post office and lower taxes. THE SALT LAKE TIMES Disabled Veterans Question National Health Proposals (Continued from page 1) about 20,000 patients daily who are eligible for medicare and medicaid benefits. A conservative estimate of the cost of treating these patients is about $400 million annually and under present law, the VA receives no reimbursement from medicare and medicaid funds. These patients are cared for from direct federal appropriations to VA. If VA programs are curtailed thos burden will fall on the new system. 2. The overall per diem cost of treating patients in VA hospitals currently is about $50 a day, which is about one half the average cost of private sector hospital cost. Patients now cared for in the VA system will cost about twice as much under the proposed Natoinal Health Plan. 3. The VA operates the largest chain of hospitals in the country (165). It is engaged in 5,200 research projects, covering almost every facet of medicine. It provides hospital training for more than half of the nations physicians. 4. The VA operates 202 outpatient clinics. Nursing home care units have been established ing 63 VA hospitals, totaling 6000 operating beds. Additional the VA contracts with more than 3,000 community nursing homes with a total bed capacity of 250,-00- 0 beds. 5. The VA operates 16 domi-ciliarie- s, which provide care and treatment for aging veterans. The primary object of this program is to establish self reliance in the patient member in direct accord- - Requirements for Proposed Increases Rent Stabilization Regulations published in the Dec. 29, 1971, Federal Register require landlords to give tenants at least 30 days notice prior to any proposed rent increase according to Roland V. Wise, Internal Revenue Service Director for Utah. Mr. Wise explained that this notification must be made in writing. The notice must include the rental price both before and after the proposed increase, the percentage and amount of the proposed increase and the effective date of the proposed increase. It also has to show the base rent and explain both the method by which the base rent was determined and method of computation of the proposed increase. This notification must also show the amount, If any, of the proposed increase attributable to capital improvements, state and local real estate taxes and state and local fees, levies and charge for all municipal charges except gas and electricity. The following statements arc also required in the notification. You have the right to exam-i- n the documentation that supports this proposed rent increase in order to satisfy yourself that the proposed rent increase is in accordance with the rent regulations prescribed by the Price Commission. This documentation is located in the federal building. If you do not understand the basis for this increase or believe that the increase is not allowable under the rent regulations of the price commission, advise us and we will arrange a suitable meeting ltme with you at a location convenient to your residence. ance with the treatment and rehabilitation goals in order to assist his return to the community. 6. The VA has six Restoration Centers whose principal object s to restore disabled veterans to more purposeful and independent living, with special attention o the social and economic aspects of illness and disability. 7. The VA operates 36 Day Treatment Centers and nine Day hospitals, all designed to facilitate the readjustment of disabled veterans to previous normal living and work conditions. 8. There are currently 22 different types of specialized Medical Services available in the VA hospitals. All are directed to the special needs of the sick and disabled veteran. In addition, the Vietnam war las created a much greater demand for prosthetic services than ever before. In 1970, the services were provided for nearly 23,000 veterans disabled in Southeast Asia. Another facet of the VA hospital system that Huber emphasized in his testimony is the care and treatment of patients with psychiatric disabilities. The VA has made significant progress in recent years and has demonstrated clearly what can be done to cure and return those suffering from mental illnesses to an economically useful life. By the efforts of the VA hospital system the veteran psychiatric patient has fared better than his counterpart in the general population, he asserted. Fred F.
