Always keep one window open a crack for fresh air. Its better to be cold and awake than to be warm and slip into unconsciousness with the heater on.

The budget reflects a ten percent increase over last years budget, Dr. Enrico Leopardi, county health director, said. County Commissioner Harry Gerlach said the county has tried to limit all county departments to a five to six percent budget increase. He admitted that some have gone over that figure, however. Others have budgets with less than a five percent increase, he said. (ASK BARRY ?) Romney, a member of the board, said that from figures furnished to him the budget appeared to have a t 20 percent increase instead of a 10 percent increase. Leopardi, however, said Rom- I? ney had considered all county health services when coming up with the 20 percent increase. Leopardi said the ten percent increase covers only three areas: environmental health, health administration and health nursing. Other services are funded by y non tax revenue, such as through the United Way, Leopardi said. Gerlach noted that an inspection and maintenance program on automobiles mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency will likely be self funded. Other services included on the budget are home health, dental health and the W.I.C. (Woman, Infant Children) program. The home health program was discontinued, Leopardi said. But the board has budgeted $6,000 to wrap up the program in the coming year. Last year the program had a $103,000 budget. Leopard also asked the county to consider expanding present facilities for the health Job Corps Gets Praise At a Weber BOUNTIFUL Basin Job Corps appreciation luncheon held at the Red Flame restaurant last week, Clearfield City officials had almost 11,000 reasons to toast some students of the South Weber center.
