The foundation cement work for the building was handled by the Duchesne Lions Club. Jack of Duchesne, has been appointed to supervise construction of this community-sponsorea maternity emerproject gency hospital. Health Center officers are asking for donation labor to complete much more of the building. Harold Wimmer, of Duchesne, donated logs and use of his sawmill in the Nine Mile country to the project. Duchesne men logged this timber, sawed it to size, and hauled that to be planed to Defa and Fabrizio Sawmill at Hanna for planing without charge. Other donations of building materials have been considered. Cash for the project is being raised by donotions by individuals, community and church organizations, and by sale of individual memberships at $5 per year. The building is expected to cost $15,000; however, donation of materials and labor is expected to whittle the cash output to about half that amount. Rooms for the building include space for a kitchen, laundry, utility room, two wards, nursery, labor room, delivery room, waiting room, emergency room, office, and nurses quarters and bath. Dimensions of the structure is 58 feet by 31 feet, with an additional 9 feet width at one end to make an building. Dan Olsen, of Duchesne, is Health Center officer in charge of the building project.
