Mr. Huish said. He said this erased a growth potential for the Utah industry equivalent to more than 2,000 jobs and annual earnings in wages and benefits estimated at some $60 million. Much of the increase this year has come in products Geneva employees produce or make steel for, such as structural shapes, sheets and the Utah U.S. Steel official reported.

Alpine School District has more students this year than it had year year, and it is operating with two elementary schools at double their design capacity to handle the load until new schools are finished, Dan Peterson, superintendent, said. A preliminary count after two days school last week indicated 980 more elementary school children and possibly 100 more in the jr. high schools. The senior highs apear about the same, Dr. Peterson said. Total district enrollment is probably about 22,200 he said.

A dinner party will be held Thursday, September 22, for all business people in the area. It is Important that a close-kn- it relationship be developed between all business people in the community so as to promote more opportunities to the proposed building program, Mr. Winters said during 1974 the hospital board and medical staff reviewed the health care needs of the north end of the county, and Medical Planning Associates of Malibu, California, were asked to develop a long range master plan to identify the hospitals needs for the next five to ten years. An increase in beds was recommended with the ancillary facilities to require a new area and some remodeling. If the bond is approved, this will be done. of the Medical Members Planning Associates said the existing site was an "ideal" location for expansion because of nearby services and the availability of' ground. Phase I is the beginning of this replacement program which will eventually replace most of the present building, Mr. Winters said. Under the program, the existing surgery department will be replaced in the new construction. This will "not only provide an adequately sized department but will also improve the separation of clean and dirty traffic in and out of the department," Mr. Winters said. A new recovery room will be located close to the surgery suite. This will permit the surgeons and nurse anesthetists to be readily available to tibserve and care for their patients between surgical procedures and also be readily available for emergencies without any delay. It was noted the number of surgeries have increased from 942 in 1970 to 1,534 in 197- 6- an increase of 63 percent.

Mr. Jacobs noted that Lindon is experiencing rapid growth and that Bank of Pleasant Grove already serves many Lindon residents. "This branch will allow us to better serve our existing Lindon cutomers and others as well," Mr. Jacobs stated. The Lindon branch will feature drive-u- p and walk-u- p facilities and new account service. As growth in the area warrants, the Board of will undoubtedly Directors approve expansion to capabilities.

Mr. Winters said it is felt the inadequacy of this area "greatly hampers the efficiency of the operation of this department." Radiology procedures have increased from 5,432 in 1970 to 12,672 in 1976 for an increase of 133 percent, he said. A new intensive care unit will be constructed in the new area near the surgical suite, and the present laboratory location will be enlarged and rearranged so that it will be "grouped conveniently" by subdepartments for special types of work, each having its own rooms furnished with the technical equipment required for its particular type of work. Laboratory work has increased from 90,990 in 1970 to 128,203 in 1976 for an increase of 41 percent. A new addition will be made to the unit, it Emergency Service for a short-stawas noted. This new unit will provide for the holding and observation of outpatient day surgery cases which is an outgrowth of the current changing trend in outpatient care. Many treatments that previously required hospital admission can be accomplished in this unit at lower cost to the patient. In 1970, there were 8,213 outpatients and emergency room visits. In 1976 this increased to 27,502 an increase of 235 percent. Because of the need, nature and location of the existing respiratory therapy service, it is not feasible to renovate this area, Mr. Winters said, as it will not meet future needs. With an increase in understanding of the benefits of oxygen and other forms of respiratory therapy, it has become more important in the treatment of patients in hositals. This service will be moved to a larger centralized area in the new construction located near the new surgical and ICU areas.In 1975, there were 8,569 procedures done. In 1976, this increased to 13,934 procedures for a 65 percent increase. The laundry, linen and central supply services will be located in the basement level of the new construction. It will provide "adequate" area for storage, growth capability and functional relationship to each other. This area is planned, equipped and ventilated so as to prevent the spreading of contaminants.

Instead, he charged, the western market has become a dumping ground for foreign steel as the result of unfair trade practices by Japan, European countries, and Third World nations that seek to export their own unemployment to the United States.

"Making people aware of the needs of handicapped persons was our goal during the week. we have acWe hope complished this," he said. The Mayor had undergone minor foot surgery, so being in a wheelchair was not too hard to take. "But, the experience left me with a lasting impression of how difficult permanent confinement to a wheelchair would be without the kindness and consideration of folks around you." Utah mayors and other public officials were invited to spend one day in a wheelchair traveling to their downtown offices and shopping areas of their cities to assist the evaluation of the obstructive architectural barriers for the disabled who reside in their respective cities. 1 f -- i I'; - 32fsiIVL Vf V 5 Hi . - Civic Chorus Members Invited Anyone not living in American Fork who desires membership in the American Fork Civic Chorus is welcome.
