Chambers maintain statistical information, brochures, maps to answer all types of inquiries from prospective new business and industry, residents and tourists. The chamber represents and promotes the areas economy, and encourages business and industrial investment. There are still many people who do not know what a chamber of commerce is, the purpose of a chamber of commerce or the extent of a chambers involvement in the community. A recent article in a chamber publication The Pacesetter told what a chamber is not. A chamber is not an arm of the government, a chamber is not a civic club nor a social organization.

Unfortunately for high school seniors and kindergarten children, time is out to put off getting those required immunizations. These students, as well as transfer students, must show proof that they have been vaccinated adequately against the preventable diseases of diptheria, tetanus, measles, rubella and polio, mumps. Many parents, especially those of older children, assume that their children have had all their shots. The sad fact is that many children are not optimally protected against these diseases, cleaned house and then reveled in the glory of it staying clean , until Saturday when the river rats returned. It only took that one week to spoil me. I grew to enjoy being able to pull my car up on the carport rather than, having clutter in the way.

Two William internists, LeRoy, M.D., and Douglas Smith, M.D., have joined the medical staff at Mountain View Hospital in Payson. . Internal Medicine is a specialty which in one sense is quite broad in that it represents those doctors who have been specifically trained to care for the general medicine needs of teenagers and adults, both men and women, through old age. Its scope is more narrow, however, than general practice or family practice in that it does not involve treating young children, pregnancy, or in performing major surgical operations. An internist has had special in training diagnosing and treating diseases of heart and blood vessels, lungs, nervous system, stomach and intestines, blood, joints and glands of the body.

Jacqueline D. Miller, MD, president of the American Association of Blood Banks, responded to announcements by the Letterman Army Research Institute in San Francisco that Army doctors have a blood substitute developed which is made from chemically altered hemoglobin, and to other associated with an publicity artificial perfluorocarbon substance known as Fluosol. While the current research on blood substitutes is beneficial, says Miller, they are useful more than Presently,' units of blood are needed every year, and fewer than five percent of those eligible to give blood do so. The need for blood is increasing daily, and publicity which implies that artificial substances can replace the need for blood donors is very threatening to the lives of patients who depend upon those willing to donate, cautioned Miller. clinically only in special circumstances, such as emergency transfusions when blood is not available. Further, both of these substances are currently in the experimental stages, and neither have been licensed for use in this country. To call either Fluosol or the hemoglobin-base- d substance developed by the Army a blood substitute is misleading, continued Miller. Although these substances can do some of the things blood can do, they are a long way from being interchangeable with blood. The American Association of Banks is a nonprofit educational and scientific, administrative organization with more than 2300 institutional and 7000 individual members. Its institutional members are responsible for collecting nearly half of the nations volunteer blood supply and for transfusing more than 90 percent. Locally, blood donations only cover half the actual usage and are needed on a regular basis. Blood can be donated at Mountain View Ext. 185 Hospital. Call to make an appointment.
