The Utah State Hos pital subscribes to this philosophy and makes every effort to encourage its patients to participate in community events. One problem frequently encountered is that the buses presently owned by the State Hospital are getting along In years and are in bad need of replacement. A number of 'more urgent expenditure requirements force the purchase of new buses to a low priority. As a means of remedying the situation, the recreation department and volunteer services of the hospital have organi zed and carried through with a number of projects to raise funds for the purchase of a new bus. Because of the importance of buses to the successful functioning of the recreation program, many patients and former patients of the hospital along with hospital employees have very willingly helped to make these projects successful, but buses cost quite a bit of money, and this small group cannot do the job alone. We would like to give all Utahns an opportunity to help in this worthwhile project. Won't you help too? Just send your contribution to Bus Project.... Utah State Hospital, Provo. No amount is too small, and you can help this dream become a reality. Your help is needed now!
