Family Size Income Scole come, Editor: . , ' 1 Because of the speculation and controversy that has arisen relative to the hospitals opening, I feel a need to make a statement of clarification. First, I want everyone to understand that we art sensitive to serving the needs ot this community and want very much to accommodate all who come here In any feasible way. We do ask for some Indulgence during the first few weds ot operation while our entire staff becomes acclimated to the hospital's policies, procedures and environment, which will allow all of us a chance to resolve some of the inconsistencies that have occurred. I truly appreciate those people who have brought to my personal attention problems that have occurred so that they can be rectified. Second, some criticism has been made of our restrictive visiting policies. The visiting regulations are enforced only in file beat interests of file patient. Without guidelines, even the visitors infringe on the patient's need most for proper rest and recuperation. Third, misunderstanding has occurred relative to our H viii poHrirt. Our concern is simply that gome financial commitment be made prior to the time of admission either by proof of insurability, loan arrangements with a local bank, promissory note, or any other finawriai arrangement " with our business office that will insure us payment on a timely basis. Originally we adopted a strict cash policy in ttw Emergency Room and for outpatients because of the severe collection problems that all hospitals incur in fids area. We have, since opening, modified our policy and ask only for evidence of insurance or a reasonable downpayment on file cost of the services. Hopefully this will better clarify our policies. It is our full intention to deliver excellent health care for many years to come. Copies Available Additional copies are at the principals office in each school. The information provided on the application will END OF A GOOD be confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility.

This compares with an increase of 12.0 percent in gross business volume for ie state as a whole in 1975. A large part of the increased dollar saies volume last year, however, was due to inflation. According to the report, the consumers price index rose by 0.1 percent in 1975. When adjustments arelmade for rising prices the net gain for the state last year amounted to 2.0 percent. This represented a considerable improvement over the 0.7 percent net gain recorded in the state for 1974 and was better than the national gain of 0.9 percent last year. The Foundation report shows that gross sales in Box Elddr county last year, as measured by local sales tax collections, amounted to $80,005,000. This compares with total business activity of $71,011,000 in 1974. Still by Ray M. Han Northern Utah UniServ There appeared recently an article written by a group of Canadians congratulating the USA on 200 yean of independence. It was interesting to note that among the things they admired about us was our ability to tolerate, even welcome, dissention, opposition, and criticism and till survive in fact, thrive.

For example, the increased volume of business activity in 1975 amounted to 12$ percent in Emery county, 38 percent in Carbon county, 38 percent in Iron county, 31 percent in Grand county, and 30 percent in Morgan county. More than half of all business activity in Utah is concentrated in Salt Lake county, with nearly half of the Salt Lake county total emanating from Salt Lake City , proper. During recent years, however, there has been some shifting of business activity away from the central business district to the suburban areas. Between 1965 and 1975, the dollar volume of business activity in Salt Lake City rose 106 percent, compared with an increase of 234 percent in the suburban areas of the county. The change is explained by the movement of population from the city into the county together with the construction of large shopping malls in the suburban areas of the county. During the past 15 years, sales volumes in Utah (after adjustments for higher prices) increased by 92 percent, or an average of 4.1 percent per year. The report points out that the largest gain occurred in 1972 when adjusted sales volumes in the state rose by 12.6 percent. The smallest gain, on the other hand, was registered in 1967 when the increase amounted to only 0.2 percent. Foundation analysts observe that the increase in adjusted sales volume since 1970 has averaged f.6 percent despite the This rate of increase 'recession of 1974-7is considerably higher than that recorded during the preceding decade. In other words, the Foundation analysis would indicate that a strong growth pattern has emerged for Utah in the 1970s. This new growth trend, however, was temporarily restrained by the recent economic recession experienced throughout the nation. 5. Larges Gains The report shows that the largest percentage gains in business activity last the best We tend, particularly at this stage of an election year, to shake our heads in despair and berate the politicians for voicing so many divergent views.

The Canadians made a good point: Our not in spite of but political process because of its noisy bombardment of ideas and its vigorous presentation of various is still the best in file werid. philosophies Let us appreciate it, use it, and make it a means of broadening our own understanding and clarifying our own convictions. freedom is the right to choose. If there were no differing views, there would be no choice to make. Admittedly its difficult to know what course of action would be best for the state or nation, and its impossible to find any given candidate whose ideas correspond 100 percent with ones own. But what a challenging, growing experience to listen, sift, sort, evaluate, consider, and eventually decide. It would be a healthy sign if not one candidate ran even in the primaries unopposed.
