It seemed that the clues fit many individuals almost! Anyway there were 21 clues buried in the advertisements of the sponsoring merchants and Dora O. Shaw, whose name was first out of the box at the drawing at Vints & Verns Monday morning, had only located 20. She was so sure that she had them all that she checked with our official paper to find where shed missed two, and had one which was not a clue. Anyway, we were pleased to have her check with us. Most entries were correct in that they selected Patriarch James H. Ockey as the personality. Every clue in some way tied to him. Meantime, another weeks contest has rolled around and the loot has climbed to five weeks at $14.00 per week plus this weeks $6.00 personality prize. We havent been quite so sneaky on the clues to identify the personality this week that is if you know the gentleman but weve been a s sneaky as we can be in burying them here and there! Youll have to read every line in the advertisements to find them all. Deposit your entries this week with either or the following Chapman Furniture, n Carter Supply, Pratt Merc. Co., and Greenwood Service (and while youre out to Greenwood see the new Tempest)! The drawing will take place Monday at around about 10 a.m. at Chapman Furniture Co. Wed like to have at least 100 persons including our friend Mayme Riches to witness the affair, inaesmuch as its getting up in the good money! Remember one entry only per box please!

This provision has always been followed, although a few persons insist on making political business of hospital business. The first board was recommended by various dubs and civic organizations and consisted of John H. Harmon, Alberta B. Jones, Ida P. George D. Haymond Jr., H. R. Francom, John H. Andrew and Amon Garfield. The present board indudes George A. Sperry, Earl F. Dunn, Bur-ti- s C. Jamison, Amon Garfield, Non-Partisi- non-partisi- Bel-listo- n, Hefcer G. Shepherd, Allen Bel-listand Ida P. Belliston. The board is responsible for the maintenance, care, custody, management and operation of the hospital, subject to the general supervision of the Board of County Commissioners. on Finance and Operating Expense The hospital was constructed with county, state and fedat as lines than the eral funds at a cost of $295,000, additional of which Juab County paid By means of includtechnical equipment at the of- approximately $120,000 bonds sale adof from are $60,000 ing new frequencies fice, ded to the line to create addit- and $60,000 from current tax funds.

The tax levy for hospital purposes has varied from 2 mills to 3.5 mills and is 2.9 mills for 1960; however, the total county levy has not increased, being 11.70 in 1953 and 11.15 in 1960. The laundry addition was constructed in 1958 at a cost of $14,000 from current funds, and a substantial saving in operation costs resulted. For the years 1954 to 1957 (for which figures are available) the cost of laundry service was $1.55 per patient day and in 1959 it was reduced to 77c, or a saving of more than one-hal- f. Occupancy and Day Costs: Patient The hospital was built for a capacity of 14 beds, although the centred plant was designed to serve a capacity of 50 beds. During the first four years the average occupancy was 9.7 per day, but has steadily increased to 15.4 in 1959 and is approximately 16 thus far in 1960. The recommendation of the State Department of Health is that an occupancy of 9 is normal for a hospital, and in order to serve an average occupancy of 16 that a d capacity is required. Many times during the past three years 25 patients have been In the hospital, and on October 30 of this year there were 28 patients and a waiting list for admittance. The operating cost per patient day has varied from a high of $29 43 in 1956 to a low of $22 50 in 1959. This compares with an average cost in three other hospitals of comparable size repealed by the auditors 14-b- 25-be- in 1956 and $26.83 1959. Proposed Additions During 1957 and 1958, various organizations and citizens, including ladies clubs, requested the Commissioners to consider the construction of an addition to provide adequate beds for the demand. On April the Commissioners 6, 1959, passed a resolution to make the necessary application for federal funds for a project to increase the capacity to 25 or 30 beds. This action was prominently reported in the April 9, 1959, issue of The The county was advised that no funds were available at that time, but that there may be a possibility of obtaining funds if some other applicant defaulted on work for which an allotment had been made. The Department of Health recommended a capacity of 25 beds to serve our needs, and shortly thereafter the architect was authorized to prepare preliminary plans for an addition of this size. After several revisions, preliminary plans were approved by the county commissioners, the hospital board and the Department of Health. The plans also comply with U. S. specifications in order that the project will be eligible for funds if they become available during or before construction. On June 6. 1960, the commissioners authorized the architect to proceed with working drawings and specifications, and he was paid $1200 for his preliminary work. The addition will consist of a medical wing permitting the segregation of surgical, obstetrical and medical cases and also will provide pediatric rooms for children patients. The estimated cost of construction and equipment is $100,000. Because of the large savings in operating costs during the past three years, there was a surplus of over $.30,000 in the hospital fund on December 31, Continued on page ten Times-New- Services Held at Logan Wednesday for Dr. Wallace J.

This year the play is entitled For Petes Sake. It was written by Jay Tobins and is in three acts. The play contains characters like Peter Perredine who has made lying a fine art. Lying calls for a strong head, a stout heart and a good memory. Peter possesses all these characteristics. When his exasperated aunt, in an effort to discipline him, starts on a summer tour of Palestine without him, he rents her mansion against her expressed desire, to her dearest enemy. Peter then masquerades as a butler and disguises his pal Bill as her gardner. The play is a laughing hit and travels at express speed.
