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 Some of the information collected was out of date by the time the book was published, such as the reimbursement plan for volunteers which was stopped last fall due to the new fair labor act which would have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.

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. It was not known if an incident which occurred two days earlier in the canal in the Dewatto area was connected, but on Apr. 26 a report was received that a 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 overturned boat by car to Hoodsport, with all three reportedly in safe condition.
