While the owners say it is not a paying venture at the present time, it is fast attracting tourists as well as local residents. Owners of the business are Homer and Joanne Behunin. Mr. Behunin, a native of Ferron, started picking up arrowheads at the age of nine years, but did not become intensely interested until, at the age of 11, he found an Indian basket while digging. From then on, I was hooked, he said, and have been at it ever since, with the exception of a few years taken out to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II. All of his finds have been in Emery County, and over the years, he has collected an estimated 2000 arrowheads, and one has been definitely identified as the Falsam type. Others appear the same, but were open finds, and the age is not identifiable when discovered on the surface. The Folsam arrowhead is estimated to be between 10,000 and 25,000 years old. Among his Indian Artifacts are about everything relating to the early Indians including dolls, clothing, bows, arrows, farming equipment, baskets, pottery and one items that experts have yet to decide on. Some believe it is a calendar( as does Mr. Behunin) while others believe it was a game. It has regular symetrical holes with places to put markers, etc. Mr. Behunin has discovered a dinosaur bone that measures approximately nine feet. This is a worlds record. University officials will soon go to the site with the discoverer to make excavations. Mr. Behunin served overseas m World War II in France, Germany and Belgium.

The building will have 32,000 square feet of floor space, and it is expected construction will start later this year, or as soon as detailed drawings are completed. Like other L.D.S. hospitals in the Mountain West, the hospital and nursing home will be operated by a local board made up of the presidents of the stakes in the area, and the Presiding Bishopric.

Church, it will give Richfield a total of 52 beds for hospital patients, anl 57 for old folks. In addition, Salma, Redmond and Aurora operate a municipal hospital in Salina with 17 beds, making a total of 126 'hospital beds in Sevier County. Daily use of hospital beds in the county at the present is eight in both hospitals. The Salina institution has been in need of financial aid for several years and recently it was offered at no charge to either the L.D.S. Church or the Catholic Church. Neither appeared interested, and at a meeting July 5th, the three communities decided to go on and operate the hospital and make needed repairs. Whether the announcement by the L.D.S. Church on their new hospital will make a difference locally on the remodeling will not be known until the Hospital Board and the elected leaders of the three communities meet and reach an agreement.
