Tradition requires the christening of new ships with a bottle of champagne. But how do you christen a new hospital? Well, what could be a more fitting way to start things out than with the birth of a new baby? Mr. and Mrs. Richard Rucker of Tremonton had the honor of christening the new hospital Monday with the e birth of an eight-poun- d son, New Arrival Is X st City Council tweneiral - meeting f. A First town-"electio- :' Tremonton ; V Mrs. Rucker gave birth to the infant at exactly noon to make the first new arrival at the new Bear River Valley Hospital. Dr. Duane Kerr handled the delivery. Administrator Theron Godfrey said the birth was a bit ironic for the simple fact that one of the keys to the successful operation of the new facility will be whether many of the births which are occurring in other hospitals outside the valley can be attracted back into the new hospital. The addition of two new doctors next summer should assist in that effort. Mrs. Rucker 's timely arrival at the hospital sets a number of "firsts." She was the first patient to be ( admitted to the new hospital, being transferred from the old facility by the At Hospital Christens New Bear River Valley Hospital J ambulance cast at the same time for opening after n crew about a.m. Monday morning, with the nervous father sticking close by. She is, of course, the first to get the opportunity to see the delivery room as a patient and not as a curious visitor. 10:20 five-ounc- their first. A number of tight races in state and local contests, the hotly contested presidential race and Utah's traditional voting record should insure a good turnout for next Tuesday's balloting. Although nationally, pollsters are predicting that a disinterested public will send possibly less than half the registered voters to the polls, indications in Box Elder County are quite different. County deputy clerk Rella Olson said Tuesday that registration activity has been "a good deal heavier than normal." If the number of voters bothering to pick up absentee ballots is an indication, the election is proving interesting ' at least to local voters. "We've sent out a little better than 400 ballots already and most are back," Mrs. Olson said. Voters who will.be. out o, day can still vote. Absentee ballots can be obtained at the court house where they can be marked and the polls close. Or, persons can request absentee ballots by mail if they are sure to include the precinct they are registered in and their mailing address. But, Mrs. Olson said persons wanting ballots by mail better hurry or the clerk's office won't have time to get the ballot in the mail to the voter. All absentee ballots must be filled out and postmarked by Nov. 1 to be valid. Mrs. Olson also noted that absentee ballots can't be obtained by proxy. Parents, for example, can't obtain one for their son or daughter who may be away to school. Utah's general elections have always attracted a good voter turnout. The state has normally led the nation until recently when it slipped to number two. ' In 1972, the last presidential election, a tota) of 12,918 Box Elder County voters cast ballots in the presidential race. There were 14,970 registered voters that year so 86 percent bothered to vote. Registration has jumped this year to approximately 15,500, Mrs. Olson said. The general election always draws more interest than the primary. In this year's primary only 4,600 voters cast ballots. . County Clerk K.B. Olsen spent part of this week delivering supplies easy task-givethroughout the county-n- o the size and distance between the many polling places. Olsen has a total of 16 different ballots to deliver in various precincts, a process that takes about two days. Voters stepping into the ballot box will be faced with a rather complex ballot this year with candidates listed under six different columns and four, j propositions as well. Several races are attracting voter attention because of their closeness in the polls. In addition to the presidential contest where Gerald Rrd and Jimmy Carter are neck and neck, the local gubernatorial contest between Vernon Romney and Scott Matheson is too close to give anyone the edge. Locally, the race between Democrat ' Garland Puzey, Republican Ed Kerr and American Party candidate Glenn , R. Barfuss should prove close in the ' contest for state Representative from District 62. Two county commission posts are up for grabs with incumbents running for reelection. Republican Don Chase is seeking to hold on to his four year commission d post against challengers Don on page eight ; Wood-Continue- And her youngster, the first to be at the facility, earns her the right to collect all the prizes offered in the "first baby contest." She'll collect several hundred dollars worth of prizes offered from Tremonton merchants to commemorate the event. Monday was moving day for everybody at the Bear River Valley Hospitborn al. The Kiwanis Club of Tremonton got things under way at 7 a.m., according to Administrator Theron Godfrey. Club members spent about four hours moving items such as refrigerators and a safe for the pharmacy out of the old facility where they had to remain until the last moment. ' The delivery table from the delivery room received top priority by the movers with an expectant mother waiting her turn to be transferred to the new facility.
