To begin a study of a nutntion unit, four teachers of fifth and sixth grades asked parents to send their children to school four days without breakfast. The first day students werent given any breakfast; the second day they received a candy bar, and the third day they were given doughnuts and a glass of milk. Friday they received a nutritional breakfast of whole wheat bread with melted cheese, one-haan orange and a carton of milk, prepared by the teachers and one parent, Mrs. Sylvia Witt. The 120 participating students had various reactions to the daily fare they received Teachers compared reactions to the diet show the effects of being poorly fed You could tell the students who normally received good breakfasts at home, said Miss Lovell, because they were the ones who had the hardest time. The ones who were used to poor breakfasts werent bothered too much because they felt the same as usual The students were checked each day just before lunch as to how they felt, emotionally and physically. After the candy bar breakfast some students said Others found it hard to they felt really sick. concentrate, were hungry, tired or had a lackadaisical attitude lf A$T -- ' :- -v , ? Too, we noticed after the candy bar breakfast the talking increased 100 percent and students were very restless, Miss Lovell said Tf I 'v S' is hindering development of less expensive alternatives to nursing heme care, such as group homes, Utah Department of Social Services officials said Monday afternoon Medical expenditures are the single largest item m the social services budget, more than $55 million, said Dr Anthony W Mitchell, department director Of this, more than $30 million is for nursing home care He made the remarks concerning release of a two-par-t, study on medical care facilities by the Office of Health Planmng and Resource Development One volume of the study focuses on hospitals, the other on nursing homes Another finding of the study, officials said, was that both hospital and nursing home facilities are concentrated in Salt Lake County, while residents of many rural areas must travel long distances to receive care. On nursing homes, Gar a health planner, said by 1985 Utah will need a minimum of 1,570 additional nursing home beds unless alternative forms of care are found In mental retardation alone, he said, by 1980 as many as 250 additional beds will be needed at the State Training School.

The prime way of improving utilization, he said, would be to increase the number of physicians and specialists m rural areas The studv showed that 56 percent all Utah of hospital care is delivered m eight Salt Lake hospitals. About 32 percent of the hospitalized patients m Salt Lake County are of the county , 20 percent from other counties and 12 percent TROPIC, Kane County Visitors to Byec Canyon National Park in January totaled 4,125, only one percent fewer than the number for the Fire Department spokesmen said the blaze apparently started when members lighted a kerosene lamp to provide light during a power outage While the family was out of the room, the glass of the lamp apparently shattered and the lamp fell to the floor, causing the kerosene to ignite Roosevelt fifth and sixth grade classes discover nutrition Craig Merrill, health planner But by more effective utillza lion, this number could be cut to between 280 and 500 for severely handicapped persons being opened next month by the Community Services Cost savings will be Council around $200 per person per day, or over $140,000 Also, it is a great benefit to these people by increasing their independence, he said Other alternatives, ho said include training programs for families of elderly persons to enable them to care for the person at home, homemaker service, home visits by nurses, foster care and adult day care programs One of the problems is insufficient community support, said Dr. Mitchell Too often we find communities are not willing to have in their neighborhood a group home for the retarded, for example Dr Mitchell of the said the study showed 35 percent patients in nursing homes are under age 60 Elison said about 50 percent stay two to three years or longer. And 65 percent are funded wholly or in part by Medicaid Dr Mitchell said federal programs actually encourage nursing homes rather than alternatives, because they make it easier to reimburse for nursing home care. In the hospital area, the study found that if hospitalization utilization patterns continue the same, Utah will neqd 680 to 850 new beds by 1985. said aJ , |
