One morning wen I happened to be making the calls instead of one of the girls that works under me at the service, an elderly man answered the telephone a little more slowly than usual. As I chatted with him I realized he was have a stroke because his speech became very thick. ambulance was called and he was 'itshed to the hospital. Later his doctor called us to thabk us for our fast action. Because this man got help so quickly he recovered with little residual damage. I recall another lady who didnt answer when we called. We couldnt reach any neighbors, so we called the polic.e They broke into her home only after we assured them we would take responsibility. The woman was lying on the floor unconscious. She had pneumonia, we later learned, and hadnt eaten for several days. Break-i- n Incident An Mrs. Di Francesco said the service once called the police for a woman 'who said someone was trying to break into her home. She called us because ours was the only number she could find, the chairman said. One of our girls kept her talking on the telephone and calm while another called the police. Sure enough, some juveniles were arrested as a result of the incident. Mrs. Di Francesco said dramatic incidents such as these dont happen often. For many we call this is the only time of the day their telephone rings. They love to chat with our girls, even exchanging recipes with us. One lady even brought us vegetables and fruit from her garden. Family Problems Sometimes we help solve piobiems. too. One couple we called had no children in Utah. The children were insisting their parents not be alone and wanted them to move into a rest home.

Registrants also are asked to list the times of meetings they go to regularly and also to call in whenever they are leaving the home for an entire day to go visiting. Service send them a letter explaining the program, said Mrs. Di Francesco. Included is a sticker they can put on their telephone so our number will be handy, since we are a service and available at all times.

Coll Geo: f aS the fjY Ar- - ents Val- ley area near Casper have been urged by the Natrona County Health Department to either boil water or use bottled water for drinking until a study can be made of the water content. The directive was issued after the department receded numerous complaints of stomach illness, now believed to be associated with the area's water supply. The head of the county health department, Dr. Walter B. Watson, said the problem may be caused by minerals or a high bacteriological count in globe. tions that total outside funding by a single private or government agency constitutes a formidable financial drain. Therefore, development of a mechanism to utilize existing civic groups on a volunteer basis may help to alleviate this financial burden. Called ENVIROP, the plan will marshal all segments of a community in an attempt to achieve optimum utilization of resources in the environment represented by a small community, he concluded.
