POETRY WANTED
Poets who wish to submit
poetry for the annual Poetry
Book (published by the local PTA
in years past and carried on by a
few interested individuals)must
turn poems in by May 16 to the
Huckleberry Herald office in
Belfair or the Allyn firehall in
Ailyn. Plans are to have the
booklet on the market by June I.
hoped that high quality and
efficient services could be found
and that a range for comparison
of needs and avilability of
resources for communities with
different characteristics could be
obtained.
"In order to be assured that
these criteria were as fully met as
possible, an Advisory Committee'
of the most knowledgeable
persons concerning ambulance
services in the state was selected.
This group was asked to
recommend ambulance services
which, as a group would
effectively serve the purposes of
the survey and meet the criteria
for selection of ambulance
services."
The Brinnon volunteer fire
department was also one of the
five volunteer ambulance systems
included in the survey. Four
private commercial ambulances
were included, two paid fire
departments and five hospital
districts.
The report notes:
"The operators, almost
unanimously, felt that three key
issues were focal points for
providing successful emergency
medical services and
transportation to communities.
These were:
1. Community planning,
support and coordination among
the agencies providing emergency
rescue and care, especially in rural
areas.
2. Adequate training
programs.
The fire engines are equipped
with many of the same supplies as
the aid cars. The theory of Quick
Response Units is being used by
the Seattle Fire Department now,
too. The long distances involved
in providing service to District 5
makes the idea even more
practical."
Some of the information
collected was out of date by the
time the book was published,
such as the reimbursement plan
for volunteers which was stopped
last fall due to the new fair labor
act which would have required
paying volunteers minimum wage
for all their time if any pay is
received. The book also stated the
district had six EMTs (Emergency
Medical Technicians) and at
present there are 17 with two
more taking the course.

trouble and trying to attract
attention. The second call was
from the son of a Seattle couple
who, he said, was overdue from a
trip by boat to tow another boat
with a hole in the hull from the
Dewatto area. The honking boat
turned out to be the parent's
boat; David LaRue of North
Shore took his boat out and
helped them get to shore.

incident which occurred two days
earlier in the canal in the Dewatto
area was connected, but on Apr.

boat had overturned and three
persons were in the water. A
helicopter was scheduled to be
flown by the Coast Guard from
Port Angeles to rescue the boaters
but the report in the sheriff's
office did not indicate if it made
the trip. It was reported that a
Mr. lddings of Dewatto stated he
had taken three persons from an

reportedly in safe condition.
