TRIES TO SERVE PATIENTS By TOM BUSSELBERG - Theres more to treating a patient than mending the bones or removing a OGDEN East Layton resident Donald F. DeWitt tries to aid patients through job as Social Services director at McKay-De- e Our primary function is patient and family counseling. We act as a community and hospital liaison the tumor. around the social needs putiert. THE PATIENT'S emotional needs and those of the family must be considered, and one man who strives to meet those THAT CAN mean finding care for a patient when they leave the hospital, determining if those needs can be met needs and direct others in that direction is East Layton resident Donald F. DeWitt, director of social work serHospital vices at McKay-De- e in Ogden. Mr. DeWitt grew up in Clinton and was a member of the first graduating class from North Davis Jr. High School. He then went on to Davis High where he played football and achieved as an All-Sta- halfback. HE WENT on to play football as tight end at Utah State University but had to give it up when offered an assistant teaching position. Obtaining his bachelor of science degree in 1948, he received his in graduation certificate social work in 1949 and served as probation officer to the juvenile court in Davis County for several years. He was apdispointed chief of the area trict encompassing six coun-ties. Returning to formal educational pursuits, Mr. DeWitt obtained his masters degree in social work from the University of Utah in 1961. That same year found him at the helm of the Layton Kiwanis Club. PROFESSIONALLY, he was employed as a court referee and followed that as a social worker for the Ogden School District. He joined the staff at McKay in 1965, establishing the social work department. of through home health care where the patient can remain at home, if institutionalization is necessary, or even aiding in job placement or retention. The social work department, includes four social workers, each acting as specialists, Mr. DeWitt says. One works with rehabilitation patients who are usually under care on a long term basis. Those patients are often stroke victims or heart patients. Another worker deals with those in the unit while Mr. psychiatric DeWitt and the other staffer share the rest of the load. WHILE THE majority of the thousands of patients treated yearly at the 363 bed hospital dont require help from social services, about 200 a month are assisted, he says. Our primary focus is on the patient but we feel no patient can effect a good recovery if they are worrying about how to pay their bill. Most of our time is spent in referring patients to the proper agency (for help). Unwed mothers are assisted as well as virtually every stroke patient, Mr. DeWitt says. We check out all stroke patients and virtually all of those who are transferred from the hospital to a nursing home. The department also works with the indigent and those where finances are known to be a problem, EVEN HOMES have been found for babies through the efforts of social services, Mr. DeWitt recalls. A baby was transported here from out of state whose mother had apparently abandoned it. We couldnt reach her. By working through the welfare program of a neighboring state they picked up the baby as a needy child. And while the hospital may end up footing the bill that could reach upward of $20,000, he says the tion came with the baby being picked up and placed in an adoption home. HAVE numerous cases of elderly people without family. The best satisfaction we can" get' is to act as their family and arrange for care after they leave the hospital. Much of the work with rehabilitation patients can also be rewarding, the former East Layton mayor says.

MR. PERRY was in the basement at the time and noticed the flash of fire out of the window. He ran outside and took his hose and squirted the eaves of his home and put out the flame, then opened the garage door and used a fire extinguisher and hose to put out the flame inside the garage. When the firemen arrived the llames were extinguished, with just a few hot spots left. ? Estimated damage to the structure was $4,000, according to Fire Chief Jim.

WE a team effort. We can help them through counseling to get a fairly good outlook on life so that they will keep on working. the appropriate resources and WE WORK to find where to place them if they are elderly, for instance. They could even put in a foster home or we can work with the Division of Family Services or the alternatives program," he continues. That program is administered by the Davis County Council on Aging and involves different levels of assistance for elderly who remain at home. Frequently when patients are released without big needs we refer them to (state) social services so they can be kept track of. We dont do a lot of community followup due to our staff size.

He calls these people and all the rest of us in the nation and world-wid- e who use the Gregorian of Victims Calendar Uneducated Tradition. fist-figh-t- IN OUR ignorance of calendar art, we have allowed it to suiprise us as a new century looms ahead.

Our new 21st Century will likewise start on Jan. 1, 2001. Error" Began. There are few people How The around who can tell us what they called the tens, the first decade of the century, or the teens, the second decade, but in the thirties, we referred back to the "roaring twenties", and in the forties and fifties, we wrote the his-- . tory of the economic crashing forthirties and the war-tor-n ties, etc., each decade being named traditionally after the word that ends in zero. And we have been doing it that way for six decades. MATHEMATICALLY, have been out of gear year backwards. we one Ask someone to count to ten. He 1 and ends with zero. The decades and the starts with centuries are no different.. They start with 1 and end with 0. So why shouldn't we start our eighties with 1981 and end with 1990? Whats the Impact? -Under the present tradition beginning our decades with zero and ending them with nine, and remembering that the year 2000 will end the 20th Century, we will end up with an eleven year decade at the centurn of the tury! Now, isnt that nice? Mr. Cloward asks. - IN 1582 when COMPARE Pope Gregory XIIIs Italian astronomer called the Popes attention to the fact that the then existing Julian Calendar, which had exactly 3654 days in it, had crept ahead of the constant solar orbit by ten days in the calendars 1500 years of existence, Pope Gregory ordered a correction to be made, and the new calendar now bears his name. scientists His actually dropped ten days from the calendar, thus it with the solar orbit. Then, to prevent the accumulation of creepage in the future, he further eliminated three leap years (Feb. 29ths) in consecutive three centesimal (100th) years of every 400 year block of time. OUR GREGORIAN Calendar is now the most accurate calendar of all time. It is in error only 24 seconds a year too long which amounts to a day in about 3,500 years!! Actually these 24 seconds error are corrected annually by the periodic synchronization of international chronometers. So What? Now with the centurys end on the horizon, we have discovered this interpretation error" of a whole year in our decade after only 398 years of the existence of the Gregorian Calendar. And people ask, So what?. AND MR. Cloward answers Should we stumble along through the eighties and the nineties and allow a house to fall on us at the end of the century when the National Bureau of Standards tells us the new century does not start until Jan. 1, 2001, and we have an embarrassing :i I eleven year decade on our hands.? .. Education Is The Answer We owe the correction to our high school youth and college students now, who will be in the drivers seats" of our nation and the world in 1990 and the year 2000, in order to save them the embarrassment of having to cope with the eleven year decade. -RECOMMENDATION: all write to the President and have him acknowledge the error in interpretation and order a correction.
