Their duties are to assist the firemen with suits and equipment, run the trucks, get the hoses out, pump the trucks, and assist in fire fighting in any way necessary. Lela Baum, one of the auxiliary, commented that they aren't women's libbers, they just want to assist. They receive the same training as the men do so they will know how to best night. They are every Thursday becoming familiar with the local fire truck, learning about fires, steps in fighting a fire, how to use the equipment, hooking up hoses, laying a line, etc. After the initial training sessions, a fire instructor from the state fire marshall's office will conduct classes here once a month.

Mark Howard, director of Utah Valley Hospital Rural Health Department met with the city council last week to explain the program and present the financial statements of the first four months of operation. The rural health clinics are Any profit is divided equally between the local clinic and the rural health department. Three other clinics operated by the same program achieved financial stability after one year of operation. The Duchesne Valley Clinic has been subsidized by the rural health department- for its first four months of operation, but the city has been asked to subsidize the clinic if there is a loss in the future.

These topics will again be discussed at a public meeting set for 7:00 May 25. The clinic is a organization. Any profits will be divided equally between the local clinic and the rural health department. But until the practice is well enough established and is making a profit, the city is being asked to subsidize the loss. The rural health department has subsidized the clinic the initial four months, in addition to installing equipment Three other rural clinics operated by Utah Valley Rural Health Department achieved financial stability after one year of operation, so the subsidy would be a temporary thing. Visitors at city council last week were very impressed with the presentation about the clinic, and complimented the clinic staff for their fast professional service. Some citizens in the western part of the county would have to drive more than 45 miles for medical attention without it. But besides convenience, one of the biggest advantages of the clinic is its association with Utah Valley Hospital Dan Bartholomew and Dr. Hooker have a 24 hour consultant service from Utah Valley's emergency room, in addition to having ready access to specialists, and immediate admission into the hospital if necessary. Yet regardless of this association with Utah Valley, patients may designate any hospital they wish to be admitted to, including obstetrics patients. One patient expressed his opinion of the Duchesne Valley Clinie staff, saying if they can't take care of me here, I Iwtter be on my way to the Wasatch Front or the pearly gates! That's quite an endorsement. But regardless, the meeting May 25 should bean informative one. Hopefully there'll be a good turnout, since medical aervice affects every one.
