Show a good sampling Mrs. Harold Jacobs, president of the Moab Women's Wo-men's Literary Club announced this week that they had obtained more than enough signatures on the peiiaons vv.ieh have been circulated recently, to establish est-ablish the public support for the proposed nursing home facility in Moab. Mrs. Jacobs has expressed her thanks and the tha-iks cf the club to th; many people who helped obtain ob-tain the needed signatures. We do not r.essarily believe local government units should have to float "trial balloons" prior to making decisions on what course of action to follow, but in the case of the proposed nursing home in Moab, we fe.i that the recent action served a very useful purpose. First of all. it gave officials proof that such a facility is wanted and is needed in this area. But probably pro-bably more important, it made people think abcut the responsibilities involved in entering into such an ambitious project. There should Iv little doubt ir. the minds of the people that certain costs are going to be incurred to construct and maintain such a home. Obviously, the people of Grand county are willing will-ing to ace:pt such responsibilities, and with that in mind, officials should proceed as quickly as possib'e in making plans accordingly. We applaud the efforts of th? local women's organization or-ganization in making this county-wide survey. |
