Hunter, headl of tlhe state's emergency medical services, warned Thursday. The state was en ttie verge of giving final approval to the program and a $15,000 Department of Transportation highway saffiety act grant had been allocated to the county to put' chase two emergency ambulances.

However, this action by the state was taken on the assumption the program had been approved by the county supervisors. The reason for that assumption, Hunter said, was that Walter Roster, Breda, had on Oct. 8 signed the grant which was submitted to the state offices for funding as chairman of the board of supervisors. "We had! to assume from that that the plan had been given to the supervisors. But evidently it hadn't," Hunter continued.

The county-wide ambulance plan was not submitted to the supervisors until Oct. 15 and the board voted then to go on record as, "not being in full accord" with the program. As submitted to the state the ambulance program for Carroll County calls for three ambulances to be stationed in Carroll to serve the entire county. The service would be set up independent of any hospital, but would use facilities at St. Anthony Regional Hospital to house the units.

The plan also carries the provision that if other ambulances were needed in other parts of the county to provide quality service, satellite locations could be established. Since the federal money first comes to the board of supervisors and is then funneled into the ambulance program, and the supervisors maintain the title to the equipment. Hunter said it is impossible to fund a project which has not been approved by the supervisors. He said his office cannot deal directly with the ambulance commission. "We want to be able to as- sist Carroll County with the program," Hunter said.

"But if we're going to assist with the purchasing of two ambulances, we can't have everyone going out and buying their own ambulances," he added. Hunter said the plan will be approved only on the understanding there will be no deviation from the plan. The $15,000 for the ambulances has been allocated and Hunter said that money will be held for Carroll County until the plan is approved by the supervisors. "But." he added, "we can't wait too long because right now we have more requests than we can handle." Hunter said, "There is no way we are going to put money into a county-wide ambulance service if the board of supervisors doesn't approve the project." Koster, who is also chairman of the ambulance commission's executive board, said Friday he expects the board of supervisors to again discuss the program Monday. Hunter added that the state was interested in Carroll Coun- ty because it appeared the coun-1 ty was organized, but he said if the county can't get organized behind the program then, "we're not interested." If the federal funding is lost, Hunter said the county could miss out on some of $185 million in a 1 money earmarked for total upgrading of emergency medical services throughout the country.

Hunter, said the bill for the EMS money is currently in the U.S. Congress. In talking about the ambulance plan submitted by Carroll County, Hunter said he felt the plan was good, but suggested keeping a close watch on the Coon Rapids area to see if a need for an ambulance arises there. He said the only way to justify an ambulance in the Coon Rapids area is that the ambulance would serve of other counties in that area. He said he felt that ambulances based in Carroll could adequately serve the entire county.

Templeton Building Bid is Approved Meeting in special session Thursday evening, the Carroll Community School District Board of Education aipproved the high bid of the Town of Templeton for the former Templeton school building and real estate. The high bid was for $3,700, $100 more than the appraised value of the property. Also bidding on the property was Eugene Heithoff, rural Templeton, who offered a bid of $1,120. The Town of Templeton had also submitted a bid of $1 on the property, but that bid was nullified by the (higher figure.

In the bid sheet, the Town of Templeton said it planned to use the building as a community recreation center. Since the Templeton school district was annexed to both the Manning Community School District and the Carroll district, the successful bid must also be approved by the Manning school board. Of the $3,700, 89.814 per cent will go to the Carroll district, and 10.186 per cent will go to the Manning district. These percentages were those used in the annexation of the school district by the Carroll County Board of Education. In other words, 10.186 per cent of the Templeton district was annexed to the Manning schools, and 89.814 per cent of the district was attached to the Car- Board See Page 2 Area Forecast (Carroll, Ida, Sac, Calhoun, Greene Crawford, Shelby, Audubon and Guthrie Counties) (More Weather en Paae 2) Partly cloudy and cooler Friday night, lows 37 to 42.

early today, averting a scheduled 10 a.m. walkout by 185,000 workers. Local negotiations will continue and strike authorizations will be given as necessary, UAW President Leonard Woodcock said in announcing the new contract. He did not release details of the new package. "But obviously we would not have accepted it if we did not think it was acceptable to Ford workers," Woodcock said.

"We're satisfied with the contract. I think we're pleased." But a union source in Local 1250, Ohio, said the three-year package includes retirement after 25 years with full benefits for the 9,000 foundry Russians in War Zone workers, a goal not achieved in the pattern contract with Chrysler. Ford Vice President Malcolm Denise called the contract "considerably tidier" than the contract negotiated at Chrysler. "I guess it wouldn't be violating any confidences to say the contract bears a certain resemblance to the package negotiated at Chrysler," he said. Denise said he did not know how the contract matched the administration's lines, adding: thought about it very much." Woodcock declined to say how close the contract matches the Chrysler pattern.

"We still have a General Motors problem, Ford of Canada problem and a General Motors of Canada problem," Woodcock said, referring to auto industry contracts which still must be Ford See Page 6 wage haven't Nash Moves Monday into New Quarters Nash Motor Parts, will begin moving Monday into its newly remodeled quarters in the former Safeway store building on West Seventh Street, C. D. (Rusty) Wilkens, owner and manager, announced Friday. Wilkens said the move is expected to take about two and a half days. The store will; remain open on regular hours dur- ng the moving.

The new quarters will provide 15,000 square feet of space, three times that of the location at 620 North Crawford Street. Presently the firm has several warehouses around Carroll to store merchandise, and Wilkens said the new facility will eliminate at last two of these warehouses and centralize the business. Wilkens said the firm had made plans to build a new building near the new Hardee's Restaurant before the opportunity arose to purchase the former Safeway building. Safeway vacated the building on West Seventh Street this summer when it moved into new quarters at the corner of U.S. 30 and Main Street.

The firm plans to add new lines of merchandise to the inventory and ailso to begin to broaden the lines of merchandise already carried. "We haven't even been buying some things in the past because we just didn't have room," Wilkens said. He said he likes the idea of everything being mider one roof to provide a place to stop." Another change in the business will come 'around the ifirst of the year when the name will be changed to Wilkens Auto Parts, Inc. Wilkens said he hopes to add another employee to the machine shop after the move. The machine shop has been operating in the new facilities for the last two weeks, Wilkens said.

By The Associated Press Israel reported it had beaten back an attempt by the Egyptian 3rd Army to break through encircling Israeli forces today even as the Soviet Union an- nounced it has sent "representatives" to the war zone. The developments came as U.N. officials began putting together an international force to patrol the Middle East cease- fire. In Moscow, Communist ty chief Leonid I.

Brezhnev announced the Soviet Union has "sent representatives" to the war zone at the request of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. He did not describe the persons sent and did not say whether they were military forces. Sadat on Wednesday had asked for both Soviet and U.S. troops to enforce the U.N. cease-fire.

The United States rejected the request and said neither big power should send forces into the troubled area. The Soviet Union appeared to agree with this when it supported a U.N. resolution specifying that Security Council members, including both the United States and the Soviet Union, should be barred from the U.N. peacekeeping force. Before passage of resolution, U.S.

military installations were placed on alert, and administration sources said they believed at one point that about 1,000 Russian troops were en route to Egypt. Brezhnev accused Israel of violating United Nations calls for a truce and declared "urgent and necessary measures were required to implement the Middle See Page 2 New Display Area Nash Motor Parts, Inc. will be moving into its new location in the former Safeway building Monday, Oct. 29.
