We have had the help and cooperation of many San Juan County citizens, without whose help this project, I am certain, would not have been a proposed soon become a reality. Bids for work are being advertised this week, a lot has been purchased and construction will soon be under way. Blanding members of the Citizens Clinic Committee are pleased with the cooperation received from county commissioners and had this to say in an open letter to the public this week: Dear Friends: ' I would like to acquaint you with the progress to date that the Citizens Clinic Committee has made in bringing a medical clinic to the people of the southern part of San Juan County. clinic will reality.

We found word of gratitude to the San Juan this was primarily due to the County commissioners. fact that we had no adequate medical facilities here in Blanding. Even a simple thing like a blood transfusion was impossible. To get a good physician to come to Blanding and set up practice he would have to buy or have in his possession thousands of dollars worth of equipment. Doctors who are well established in a community and have all the nec- essary equipment just do not suddenly pull up stakes and move to a new community. It became very apparent that if Blanding were to get a good, qualified physician to come here, he would have to have a much better medical facility than our present one. When Dr. Fallon arrived and expressed the desire to set up a permanent practice here if the city could somehow provide a more adequate medical facility, efhe was assured that an fort would be made to do this. It was pointed out by Dr. Fallon all-o- ut built, it would be done for the benefit of the citizens of San Juan County and not for him Dr, Fallon would merely lease the facilities. The city council felt it was necessary to have an improved facility if we were to get and keep a good physician. It was their suggestion that a citizens clinic committee be formed of directors of the Chamber of Commerce and city council-men. 'i 3 Myself, Chan Moulton, and Bill E. Cline of the Chamber of Commerce were appointed to serve on this committee as were Marvin F. Lyman, and Wm. Ervin Palmer, representing the city council. The first meeting was held the evening of June 17, 1959. Dr. E. N. Porter was elected as chairman of the committee and Bill E. Cline was asked to act as clerk. Since that time the committee has held 12 formal meetings, many of these with the ; - Chairman Citizens 4-1- Clinic Committee Kids, Clubs 1 J A&Wsr San Juan County clubs and members brought 24 blue ribbons, 45 red ribbons and 4 white ribbons home from the State Fair last week, reports county agent Rell Argyle. 4-- H San Juan can be mighty proud of the accomplishments of these boys and girls, beamed Argyle.

A third man, driver y of the car, wasnt caught. One of the two arrested had a diamond ring identified by Gary Sprouse as one missing after the Monticello burglary. But no other loot was recovered. Sheriff Seth Wright investigated. Federal Bureau of Investigation fingerprint experts from Salt Lake City were requested at 11:25 a. m., and arrived at 6:30 p. m. the same day. Fingerprinting proved futile the thieves wore gloves, apparently. The crowbar, left behind by the burglars, was new and roughno usable surfaced, producing and other prints refingerprints, covered were thought to be those of Mr. and Mrs. Sprouse. The Cortez robbery was performed in a similar fashion. The door was pried open with a new crowbar. The two apprehended men tried to steal a quanity of narcotics there. The suspects are from Farmington and Albuquerque. They are admitting nothing, says Sheriff Wright, so far. The three to four hundred dollars taken in cash from Sprouse Jewelry was in an unlocked safe and a cash register. Insurance doesnt cover cash losses, Gary Sprouse said this week. No glass was broken to gain entrance to the store, as erroneously reported by Cortez radio Station Sunday. Two weeks ago Redds Chevrolet was broken into in much the same fashion as Sprouse and the Cortez drug 'store robberies. Nothing was taken at Redds, all valuables being locked up, but the robbers did scatter things about while searching the place. get-awa- An organizational meeting of Comcitizens interested in A program Development munity for Monticello will be held at the courthouse at 7:30 p. m.
