Dick Babies! Youre in Good Hands Man hnhies will henofir fnn h latest March of Dimes contribution to the Fillmore Hospital. Some may even owe their lives to it. An Infant Isolette is the latest contribution to the hospital from the March of Dimes. The isolette will be routinely used for many of Fillmore Hospital's newborn, but the greatest benefit will come for premature babies, those in need of extra oxygen, and those whose breathing needs to be monitored. The new Infant Isolette is equipped with an Oxygen Analyzer which determines the percentage of oxygen the infant is receiving. Randy Probst, head nurse at the hospital, said normal air for our altitude is composed of 20 oxygen. Some babies need an additional concentration of oxygen in their first few days of life, but too high a concentration could damage a newborn's eyes. This isolette with its oxvpen analyzer pro vides exact oxygen monitoring through a device placed near the infants mouth which leads to the analyzer. Probst is considered low, but safe. said 40 The isolette also provides heat and air circulation. who have breathing difficulties, the isolette is equipped with a respiration monitor. In using it, the proper respiration rate for the infant in question is determined. The Respiration Monitor is then set for the proper rate, electrodes are placed on the babys chest and, if its respiration rate either falls below or exceeds the normal respiration rate range, an alarm is sounded. Sometimes only a tap on the babys foot is all that is needed to stimulate it to breath again. Probst said, This isolette provides pretty tight controls on watching in In addition, for infants Its reallv nice to have. Dick Packer, Fillmore Hospital fante ad- ministrator, said, "We here at the hospital deeply appreciate the part LeGrande and Mary Davies played through the March of Dimes in this contribution and in the health care of the community. They were instrumental in obtaining the donation of the isolette. Mr. and Mrs. Davies are of the local March of Dimes. Davies, on hand for the presentation of the isolette to the hospital, said the unit was purchased, all from local contributions to the March of Dimes, at a cost of $359.10. He said, We are pleased to have been a part of the March of Dimes organization and to present this most important piece of Davies equipment to the hospital. All March of Dimes funds added, collected in Utah are used in Utah. Mayor Urges Cooperation in Census Count Mayor Mark Paxton urges everyone to be counted in the 1980 census. The success of the 1980 census count in Fillmore is vitally important, the Mayor said. He pointed out that not only does our communitys political representation in the U.S. Congress and in the State Legislature rest on census population totals, but large amounts of Federal and State funds are returned to Fillmore City each year based on census statistics. In the current budget year, Fillmore City is receiving about $32,000.00 in Federal revenue sharing funds. The Office of Revenue Sharing of the U.S. Treasury uses census population and per capita income figures to allocate these payments to each community. If everyone is not counted, it means our community will be shortchanged and we will not receive our fair share steJrng gas. lewis Keyes, 20, was arrested al 8'0 p m Saturday evening, March 22, by Fillmore Police Officer Thorpe Robison for alicredly siphoning gas from Dr. David L.mburg's pickup while it was parked near the hospital.
