After final adjustments, the 1966-67 expenditures were well within the confines of the budgets pre-planned structure as report-ed report-ed by Dr. Peterson.

The funds have been awarded by the Division of Regional Med ical Programs of the National Institutes of Health. As defined, the IRMP included all of Utah and portions of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Nevada. It is among the first four Regional Medical Programs in the United States which have moved into the operational oper-ational stage. According to Dr. C. Hilmon Castle, coordinator of the IRMP, and associate dean of the University Uni-versity of Utah College of Medicine, Medi-cine, pilot projects in stroke, Inhalation In-halation therapy and use of the computers in continuous monitoring moni-toring of acutely ill patients will get underway as a result of the supplemental grant. These projects pro-jects will be added to the eight pilot projects initiated following the April, 1967, operational grant award. Initiation of operational activities activi-ties in inhalation therapy anduse of the computer is directed toward to-ward application of recent knowledge gained in patient service ser-vice and through research, to the direct care of patients suffering from these diseases. The stroke pilot project will be under the direction of Dr. Carey Joe Batson, who is currently cur-rently completing a three year residency in Neurology at the Unlversiy of Utah Medical Center.

According to Dr. Batson, the three-part project will aim directly at trial efforts to Improve Im-prove the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of certain neurological neuro-logical disorders related to stroke in the Intermountain Region. Re-gion. Respiratory problems frequently fre-quently complicate the care of patients with heart disease, cancer can-cer and stroke, but the availability availa-bility of persons trained in the latest advances in this field is very limited, especially In the Intermountain Region. Physicians Physi-cians and nurses are frequently called on to provide respiratory care with new equipment and techniques about which they need to know more. The Educational Program in Respiratory Therapy Thera-py for Physicians and Nurses will examine the feasibility of certain operational methods of correcting this deficiency, and will provide them with the necessary nec-essary knowledge and skills to enable them to effectively utilize the special techniques and equipment equip-ment involved. Director of the Respiratory Therapy project will be Mrs. Joyce Wanta, director of the Inhalation In-halation Therapy Service, University Uni-versity of Utah Medical Center. The impression many have that Alaska is a wilderness covered with snow and glaciers is wrong. Glaciers cover only 3 percent of the land. V spraying program is working out well. City employees are at work on the program from 6 to 8 a.m. each work day, since application applica-tion of the spray is most effective ef-fective if applied when the weeds are coated with dew. County extension agent Ralph Home recently conducted a city-wide city-wide inspection of intersections and roadways, in relation to the weed spraying program. His only suggestion was to step up the time of application in the program pro-gram next year, which will be done. City crews will begin ap plying the weed spray next March since this has been found a most advantageous time, before the weeds have been allowed to mature ma-ture and grow. The weed spraying program is but one phase of the city overall plan to keep intersections and roadways clear of weeds. This program will be greatly improved with the purchase of a small tractor, which was recently bought by the city to be used In the weed spraying program and tor other light tractor uses. Councilman Smith also reported report-ed that a hardtopplng project is now underway, with various areas of the city benefitting from the blacktopplng application. Intersections are receiving special attention, with road crews attempting to fill in all holes and rough spots. Some major stripping Jobs will also be completed com-pleted on city streets with Class C road funds, it was reported. and approve the employment of all nurses before they worked In the district, 2- The County Health Department Depart-ment would agree to furnish the district four full-time nurses to work each school day between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. These nurses would be under the direction direc-tion of the school district during each school day. 3- The health department would also furnish the district one- third of the time of a nurse su pervisor to work with the dis trict in correlating the work between the district and the coun ty. 4-The Alpine School District would be expected to pay to the County Health Department 40per cent of the salaries of the four nurses and the district's share of 40 per cent of the salary of the nurse supervisor.
