David A. Jones, chairman of the board and chief executive officer for Humana, Inc., the hospital company that owns and operates Davis North, was one of the executives interviewed for the recent article in Business Week. According to the article, Humana has spent considerable time in efforts to decrease waste and lower hospital costs. It pointed out that Humana hospitals vow that a patient will get medical attention within a minute of walking through the door of the emergency room. Also, time and calibration studies on often-trick- y procedures have been conducted so that Davis North Patients rarely need to undergo an twice due to a mistake or poor negative. Week Business continued, Humanas average patient charge in 1977 was only $1,073, some $374 less than community hospitals averaged nationwide. And in cities where they operate, Humana hospitals carry more than their share of the patient load. Dean Holman, administrator of DNMC, agrees with the magazines York-base- cost-effecti- X-r- thrust. "An investor-owne- d for-prof- it hospital has several advantages including volume buying and tight central-base- d management," he said. Through its ties with other company hospitals, a hospital like Davis North can simply increase its efficiency. The magazine forecast a growth for investor-owne- d hospitals since they have good management systems and a better ability to attract and train competent people.

Constructed in 1912-1the building ' represents the "Commercial or travelers hotels that once spanned the nation to provide food and lodging for the patrons of the railroads, according to the Utah State Historical Society, The utility and simplicity of design are an indication of its intended purpose, for a hotel of this kind could not afford to be either lavish or impractical if it were to be productive Claarfield. said Dr. John tor local investors, S.H. Smith, the Societys historian who researched the hotel for the National Register nomination. The simplicity referred to is known as the Commercial Style of Architecture., called into being by the requirements of commerce and the business principles of real estate owners around the Like many buildings in this style, the New Brigham Hotel is almost devoid of ornament. The New Brigham Hotel is one of only two remaining Ogden "commercial hotels, yet at the time of its construction the city had more than twelve. Ogden flourished by providing labor and services for the railroads and for the countless millions who used the rails over the decades. From 1880 until the 1930s, commercial hotels like the New Brigham principally served the needs of the commercial traveling salesmen. The salesmen traveled extensively on the nations rails, and hotels like the New Brigham were their only home, as well as their showroom, said Dr. Smith. With current rejuvenation of the area around Ogdens Union Station, the New Brigham has an opportunity to contribute to the overall historic fabric of the Union Station and 25th Street area. fun. We are a total square dance club, doing square dances, round dances, and contra dances. We also mix a little disco in occasionally. Of course, our main emphasis is enjoyment, so we try to dance while we learn, and learn while we dance. Most people would be surprised at how simple and fun square dancing can be. It is also a good form of exercise and a lot more enjoyable than jogging, because you are doing it to music out of bad weather with other friendly people. Sports Illustrated lists square dancing as a sport. The Post Promenaders Square Dance Club is sponsored by American Legion Post 142 in Riverdale and is the first square dance club sponsored by an American Legion Post in the state and very possibly in the nation, although other Legion posts are beginning to show an interest in the program.
