This is good news to Brigham City and all of Box Elder county. 50-be- Constructed by Hospital Corporation of America, this addition to the community will provide the finest health care ever available locally. In more serious cases in the past, it's been necessary for local residents requiring hospitalization to travel to other cities. Many of these estimated by Administrator Val H. Christensen at near 90 percent can now remain in Brigham City to be accomodated by the new facili- ties. Com- FURTHER, Brigham City munity not only .wUl be the finest equipped facility for its size in Utah, but incorporates many of the features found to be beneficial in providing hospital care. Patient comfort is emphasized. The direction has been to avoid a sterile, institutionalized oharacter. Weve never equated motels with hospitals. But Christensen said from the outset that it was the aim to create a warm and comfortable environment for patients much like a motel. I i ; f Its our impression from working with representatives of HCA and watching progress of the hospital that this fast growing corporation will be a good neighbor, an asset to the community beyond the outstanding level of health care it brings. Book -- This has been manifested in a number of ways, including a close relationship and cooperation with city officials, involving the community in choosing a name for the hospital and in tapping the local area for personnel. Christensen says it will also bring an annual payroll of about $768,000, which is significant. The addition to the tax base and the hospital as a utility customer will mean added revenue for local government, as well. 4 THERE ARE many pluses tobe enjoyed by this area as . Brigham City Community hospital prepares to open its doors. A special section in toin tells Journal greater detail days 10-pa- ge about the facility, personnel, management and plamufL &am and other aspects of the operation. We hope youll read it. And then plan to visit the hospital for the dedication and open house Saturday. We think youll be pleased with what you see. From fffoo Editor... the Brigham City library Its been a long time since a political development has caused an uproar of the proportions spawned by the situation involving Taiwan, Canada and the Olympics. If nothing else, we take solace om the fact that so many are so dignant about the Canadian stance iiich bars the Taiwanese from participating in the 1976 games as the Republic of China. Canadian officials believe they are f&t. They are not. They are wrong tsA reaction finds them vigorously ; , . cccused in their error. Tlie world sports competition will go on, or at least it appears so at this writing. The tension, the anxieties and stresses of the competition will lend drama and excitement to the daily news diet. Individual performers will strive to reach new heights of achieve ment. Nations will glory in the pride of their athletes accomplishments. At the same time, however, more will be missing from this Olympics than the Chinese island nation. Principle will have suffered a crippling blow. Some are predicting this marks the beginning of the end for the games in this modern era. Perhaps. Certainly, if precedence giving the green light to political discrimination is to emerge and remain alive, it is time to write finis to the Olympiad. Our world community is already beset by enough pllitical conflict. Regardless of the future of the world games, however, we can be Canada has certain of one thins It black itself a dealt eye. has in one of good will measure a down torn act recover . to decades take that may Abdicating leadership Book Reviews: Adult "Remarkable a it sounds, a even none at n take you by fast express to independent wealth."

Hall Northern Utah UnlServ It has been most refreshing during the past weeks to have the opportunity to read and hear about the things that are right bout America to have recalled some of the basic tenets of Americanism. It has been heartening, too, to review the history and realize that in spite of so glorious a cause as "freedom", there was neither complete unity nor total dedication to the cause of independence. It Is customary to look back with longing at the good old days, assuming that those early Americans were of one heart and one mind and that our present situation is virtually " hopeless because we have, on most affairs of state, such a diversity of opinion. NOT SOI If a nation could come into being and survive the bitter differences of the founding fathers, it can certainly survive modern problems though they be. myriad How painful It must have been for the idealistic Thomas Jefferson to delete from the Declaration of Independence the abolishment of flavery. He foresaw the agony it would Inevitably bring to the new nation, but he could see that If he and his supporters Insisted on the slavery cause, there would be no new nation. Deep inside, they cried a lot; but they compromised. From the outset, this nation has been plagued with dissentlon; but that, no doubt, is one of the marks of freedom. Where men dare not disagree, there is no liberty. IT SEEMS THAT teachers, whether in the home or the classroom, should draw many valuable lessons from the revival of history that has been the Bicentennial and one of the chiefest of these is that opposition is no excuse for quitting. Thomas Paine said it for our time as well as his, "What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it Is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven know how to put a proper price upon its goods, and it would be strange Indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated." . . FenH.Ketter Steven Kotter Louise 8.

Silver Spring, Md. 20902 2417 Editor: Who killed my granddaughters dog? It was just a small poodle but she loved it. And now it's gone. Why? While their family was on vacation, the dog was picked up and taken to the local shelter. It had two tags, one with an address and telephone number. We were told that attempts had been made to contact my daughters home, but, of course, no one answered because they were on vacation. When I called the police in an effort to find the dog (on a Friday), I was told the shelter would be closed until Monday. When we went to get Patches after the weekend, you should have seen him. It didnt appear he had been fed or watered all that time. After we paid $7.50 to get him out, we took him home. But the poor thing wouldnt eat. Or couldnt eat. Patches received attention from a veterinarian. But it didnt help. It was too late. The little dog simply layed down and died, leaving a heart-broklittle girl. And now I ask, is this the best that Brigham City has to offer in terms of animal care? It really wouldnt have been expecting too much for them to call me when no one answered at my daughters home. Is it standard policy to pick up animals and then not feed or water them? en Want this peace? Editor: Peace! Its a beautiful word. We all want peace. But what kind of peace do we want? The kind of peace South Vietnam got? The kind of peace Korea got? The kind of peace that dozens of Russian satellites have? What kind of peace would we have if the UN fulfilled its goal and became a world government? In April 1970, then Secretary General of the UN, U. Thant explained that the ideals of peace expressed by the Communist dictator V. I. Lenin are in line with the aims of the UN charter. Peace to a Communist, and to many leaders of the UN means the absence of resistance to communism. Is that the peace we want? Lets get the US out of the UN! Sincerely, Don H.

Day Winston L Bessie Tse-tun- gs to layman or news announcers and The removal of the American military presence from two islands, Quemoy and Matso, close to the Communist mainland reflects a sad change in U.S. policy. The impression is definitely being given that the United States is willing to accept a posture in preference to the freedom that exists in Taiwan. The Taiwanese have, since 1949, given a far better account of themselves, spiritually and economically, than have the rulers of Peking. The fact is we are complying to the wishes of Mao government and ignoring the wishes of Taiwan. This is dearly confirmed by the serious consideration being given administration of today by the to Red China just a full recognition diplomatic extending dies. little before its leader, Mao Tse-tun-g, settled in Taiwan, many k In 1949, when Chiang Chinese from the mainland who opposed communism, joined him. He became their president and was highly respected. k stated: The Chinese In a speech in 1962 Chiang mainland has been under the despotic rule of Mao Tse-tufor 13 years. During this dark period, he has subjected both the country and the people to his rapacious and tyranical caprices. The people have been used as slaves and animals. They have lived a hellish life and have struggled desperately to survive. And to think that some time ago we had the gall to call these Communists agrarian reformers! Are you not fully persuaded that the administration is today abdicating its role of world leadership and is apparently doing everything possible to make sure Ronald Reagan will win the GOP nomination in Kansas City this coming August? Nationalist-hel- d student. Do you wonder what searching questions facing Canada has dealt itself a black eye obviously are: 1. To provide opportunity for girls in school sports programs. Few would quarrel with this as long as boys and contact sports (a present girls do not play together in concession). But should girls be encouraged to play the really rough contact sports? 2. To prohibit differentiation because of sex in dress, appearance and behavior codes. We believe this to be potenA tially a great danger to our youth. unisex appearance is a large step toward the destruction of all sexual meres. 3. To discourage or prohibit any teaching of masculine or "feminine roles in schools. This goal (the most dangerous of all) if reached would reinforce the unisex" and disastrously weaken the basic institution of society we call the family. We find many of Title IXs regulations and obvious goals dangerous to our societys stability. Are you going to tamely submit to these regulations to be enforced July 28? No? Then write your congressman or senators. At the very least phone your school board members and let them know exactly where you stand. Otherwise they will comply. lowers 9 Chat ... We are alarmed at the encroachment of federal government in local education. Perhaps your readers remember the discussion when federal aid to education was first proposed. then insisted that federal aid would mean Alarmists federal controls. Federal aid advocates stoutly denied that our government would ever do such a thing to its citizens. Now federal financial muscle tells us to comply with the regulations of Title IX or lose those now necessary" federal funds. We think that if the electorate becomes alarmed enough at some of Title IXs ridiculous regulations we can convince our legislators to strike them down. A Title IX Compliance Checklist is being circulated to each school principal. It begins with this deadline: "Each educational recipient is required, by July 21, 1976, to have evaluated its practices and policies regarding admission and access of students to its educational programs and activities, treatment of students, and employment of both professional and staff. . . ' It lays down this prohibition: "A school district may not: . . b. sponsor activities or clubs that limit mmhrhip to one sex. It asks this (to ensure compliance): 1.

There were less games for kids at the park this year. The only thing your kids missed out on was the fishing booth and the dunking machine. Brigham City did not go out of their way to put forth an effort to make this Bicentennial Fourth a great one, even a day late. It was Just like any other ordinary Fourth instead of the 200th anniversary of this great country of ours. Yes, I watched the rest of the nation and even countries over seas celebrate this countrys birthday and here sat Utah "Like A Bump On The Log because the fourth had the misfortune to fall on a Sunday this year! Janet Mathis First East SS North i In good Brigham company Editor: If Brigham City must stand condemned for falling to celebrate the Fourth of July on Sunday, she is in good company. Gettysburg, Penn., also chose to commemorate as we did. My daughter mrites that the Gettysburg Artworks display todk place on Friday two whole days ahead of schedule! Saturday saw not Just one, but two parades, the first being the groups in full costume Including fife and drum. Even the relighting of the Peace Light memorial that was extinguished during the fuel crisis took place on Satur eU M ouMoor band concerts. Sunday, July 4, 1978, in Gettysburg, was marked only by religious services. Sincerely, Caryl P.Hepworth Kl Holiday drive Brigham City |
