July 20, 1961:
Hospital to have open house soon
The Golden Valley County
Hospital Association held its annual
meeting at the courthouse in Beach
on Wednesday, July 12. About 50
interested people were in atten-
dance.
The original organization of this
Hospital Association provided for
equitable representation on the
board of directors from all parts of
the courtty. The terms of the direc-
tors from the Alpha area, rural
Sentinel Butte area, and the town of
Sentinel Butte were completed this
year. Richard Knopp, Glen Roen,
and Mrs. Roland Pullin were re-
elected as director for a term of
three years to represent those
respective areas.
The new ,hospital building is
almost ready for occupancy. It now
lacks the equipment that was not
required to be built-in: -All of these
Not much is left of an old tree that lost a couple of large
branches in a storm that passed through the area late
Thursday, early Friday morning, of last week in Sentinel Butte.

A strong wind blew through garage David Cook had once
Sentinel Butte late Thursday night, owned. The garage is no longer
and knocked down part of an old there as it was burned in a con-
tree, which had once stood by an old trolled burn years ago.
other items of furnishings and
equipment have been contracted to
be purchased by the Lutheran
Hospital and Homes Society. A
complete detailed list of every item
to be placed in the hospital (from
office pencils to X-ray) giving brand
name, description, and cost of each,
is a requirement that had to be met
for equipping the hospital.
The list has to be submitted and
approved by the United States
Department of Health, and purchas-
es have to be made accordingly.
An open house for inspection of
the new hospital is planned for the
near future.
What do others think about us?
It's rather flattering, says Tourist
Director James T. Hawley,
Bismarck, judging from the com-
ments left at the rest areas around
the state.
Here are a few samples, com-
piled by the Tourist Bureau:
"Please write to our highway
department in Minnesota to build
places like this.'"
"This was the most wonderful
wayside in all states we have trav-
eled so far."
"I have seen one better and that
was outside Paris, France. None as
good in the states."
"These resting places are living
examples of North Dakota's warm
hospitality to her guests.'" (from a
Canadian)
"We enjoyed N. Dak. roadside
rest areas. The best in the west."
"We have gone through every
state in the union except the two
new ones, and think your rest stops
the best of any we have found. Wish
our state and some more had some
like yours." (from an Iowan)
"A delightful rest from a long trip
- Montreal to Edmonton via USA.
The nicest picnic spot we have
found ."
Plenty to eat
Cattle in an area pasture have plenty of grass to eat, thanks to the wet spring. Making hay
hasn't been easy, however, because high humidity has slowed the drying process.
Judy Curl and Karen Kremers
were visitors at the Gary and Brenda
Maus home on Sunday. Monday
evening, Duane Maus and Rick and
Linda Stoveland stopped by.
Brooke Davidsoh will be in boot
camp for about another month, and

back home. Her address is Pvt.
Davidson. Brooke; C Co. 3/60th

BDE 5482 Jackson Blvd.; Fort
Jackson, SC 29207.

ily and attend his cousin's wedding.

Schulte of Grand Forks also attend-
ed the wedding, then came to Beach

"other relatives in the area before

Francisco, and her sister Deanne
from Denver arrived to visit their
parents, Tom and Vidette Schillo,
and attend a Jacobs family reunion
at Reeder. There were over 300
attending. The Jacobs family set-
tled near New England in ! 911, so
this was a centennial celebration

North Dakota newspapers
are here to stay...
Realities and myths about North Dakota newspapers
As a trade association for the 90 North Dakota daily and weekly
newspapers, we want to address in simple language the truth about
newspapers in North Dakota. ••
• Your local newspaper is here for the long run. Some pundits and so-
called • experts are already writing the obituary for the newspaper industry. We say:
Not so fast. Newspapers march on not only as news leaders and innovators, but as
stalwart businesses in communities they serve, contributing to the well-being of
Main Street and North Dakota.
• Newspapers remain a dominant media source inNorth Dakota.
Newspapers in this state have an estimated readership of more than 500,000, plus a
growing on-line audience. 9 out of 10 North Dakotans read their local newspaper.
Nationwide, more than 104 million adults read a newspaper every day, except on
.on Sunday when readership grows to 115 million. That's more people than watch
the Super Bowl (94 million), American Idol (23 million), or the evening news
(65 million).
• The biggest reason newspapers are read is because you rely on
your newspaper to know what's happening in your community.
Obituaries, weddings, high school sports city hall, babies, arrests, yard sales, church
meetings, little league baseball, community events, engagements, town business,
government public notices, even the ads ... the list goes on and on. Your newspaper
connects you with your community. No other medium provides what newspapers
provide. (Ever see obituaries on TV?)
• It's a myth that the Internet and other sources will provide news if
North Dakota newspapers aren't here to do the job.
The reality is that newspapers make a larger investment in newsgathering than any
other medium. In fact, most of the news you get from other media originated with
reporting done by newspapers. Sometimes broadcasters read the news directly from
the newspaper!
This is a time when newspapers are transforming. The industry is
adapting and moving forward. We look forward to the future! We
look forward to providing news, information and advertising that
help connect and build the communities we serve. -
