Music for the event was furnished by the Elgin Junior High School Band under the direction of Howard Klehm. Leading the parade were Rail Continued From Page I) the audience the emphasis of the rail issue is shifting to the state level.

Where the FSP was developed on the national level, rail operations and subsidation will be transferred to the states, and "this thing is developing now on the state level," Gould said. Assuming the Williams bill is passed, "it would put off the federal-state sharing program for at least a year," Gould told the audience. The program is a subsidy program that would keeD low-density rail lines open under 70 per cent federal funds. The other 30 per cent funding would come from the state, Gould said. "I suspect that somewhere along the line, people will say one year isn't enough to study this thing," Gould said, explaining how the lines would be continued after the Williams act runs out.

"You've got to get the Williams act passed, of course." he added. Efforts are underway already to get state funding for the 30 per cent matching funds to enter the federal program, he said. State Issue Eight would amend the Ohio Constitution to allow rail subsidies, and the Ohio Department of Transportation will conduct a meeting Thursday to look for private financing "based on the assumption the issue won't pass." "The meeting is a planning effort for the state rail plan," Gould said, adding the state already has taken the initial steps to qualify for the federal program. Ohio already has created the Ohio Rail Transportation Authority (ORTA), has submitted a Preliminary State Plan "and must submit within a month a. Final State Plan to the Federal Rail Authority," Gould said.

The public meeting Thursday, although not publicized, is a requirement to meet federal approval, Gould asid. Encouraging all interested persons to request time to testify at the hearing, Gould warned, "The hearing is designed to find out from the public if anyone is willing, to donate to the subsidy program, and is based on the assumption that Issue Eight won't pass." Saying the meeting "is literally the last opportunity to comment on the state rail plan." Gould told the audience not to accept a negative response to a request to testify. "If the Williams bill doesn't pass, you could look to the state for alternatives," he said to emphasize the importance of input at the Thursday meeting. Also speaking at the meeting was State Rep. Walter McClaskey, R-86th, who was less encouraging in his remarks.

Speaking on the state ballot issue, McClaskey said, "To those of you who think the state is going to write a blank check to save the Erie yards, I ha ve to tell you that just isn't so." The state issue, and ORTA will concern themselves mainly with passenger service, McClaskey said. "My concern is with keeping freight service here," McClaskey said, adding closing the EL yards will not destroy freight service to Marion and Marion industries. Also speaking at the meeting was Mrs. Richard (DaLee) Mounts, MONEY coordinator. Mrs.

Mounts told the audience about MONEY'S recent trips to Washington, D.C.. and her testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on Surface Transportation. Mrs. Mounts also read a letter from State Rep. Arthur Wilkowski, D-46th, supporting State Issue Eight, and presented a list of donators to MONEY.

MONEY has received approximately $2,000 in donations since August, Mrs. Mounts said. blunder unera. (nr 317 W. CENTER affiliated with NATIONAL FUNERAL DIRECTORS ASSOC.

The hospital has been and is now conducting a self analysis of its quality of nursing care. Mrs. Wolff and the nursing staff are distributing questionnaires to patients on their admission.

After they are discharged, the patients are asked to mail it back with their opinions on the quality of nursing care given. Another part of the self-evaluation is the patient interview conducted by the staff on discharge day. The patients are asked for opinions on everything from the quality of fond to the cleanliness of the room. All of the information obtained will be processed for possible inclusion into the Quality Assurance program, a plan set to start sometime next year. Mrs.

Wolff said. It is a hospital-wide program of standards for patients care. Nursing care also depends on the quality of the nursing staff and personnel matters play a big role in patient care. Mrs. Wolff said the LPN to RN ratio has improved by 10 per cent recently and an in-house critique has started whereby experienced nurses are scheduled evenly through all three shifts.

"We also are working on more intense recruitment and selection process." she said. "We're trying to take the best people.
