Blood Flows From Donors Housing Plan Turned Down The McCord proposal to build 53 senior citizens housing units in Bayard has been turned down: by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. In a letter from Nate Ruben, Iowa HUD director, McCord was 1 told that his proposed elderly units in Carroll and Jefferson had been approved but Bayard was denied. Ruben said that a survey conducted by the valuation department an'i information has determined that the area will not support, an additional 50 units of elderly housing at this time. The excuse climaxed the 'refusal to approve the a a units was that, many Farmers, Home Administration elderly' hbusing.projects are in and around Bayard.

He concluded his letter by saying, "It is very likely that a 50-unit Section eight new construction project for the elderly in Bayard would have to draw most of its tenants from the existing Farmers Home Projects causing vacancy problems in these projects." McCord said, "naturally I am disappointed but I am not discouraged. There will be some kind of housing project available for Bayard that we can get involved in." Thirty-five of the 136 pints of blood donated at Coon Rapids 'last Friday went to replace blood used by Jack Russell of Diamond City, Arkansas. Son of Mr and, Mrs Morton Russell, Jack was injured in a cycle-car crash last fall and later died. Morton Russell is a former Bayard resident but now lives in Arkansas. In addition, blood was donated to replace units used by Iva Mays of Bayard.

The Coon Rapids quota set by the Red Cross was 100 pints, so the sponsors were elated over the response. If not a record for the twice a year donation at Coon Rapids, the 136 points' given was close to a record.

By Senator Dick Clark Legislation designed to help alleviate the lack of -medical in rural areas, a problem currently being a number of Iowa communities, cleared a big hurdle in the Senate recently when it received preliminary approval by the Labor and Public Welfare Committee. Medical services in rural areas have steadily deteriorated as medical understandably, are drawn to more lucrative practices in heavily populated metropolitan areas. A 1974 report showed that 94 out of Iowa's 99 counties were below the national average in the ratio of doctors to residents: The problem is three-fold: there are not enough doctors; the doctors are geographically ted; and there is a serious shortage of general practitioners.

The answer seems to be 1 provide incentives for newly-graduated medical students to locate in rural areas, with the hope they will choose to practice there on a permanent basis. That is the thrust of the Senate legislation. The bill requires medical schools to set aside a certain portion of Iheir first-year classroom slots for students who agree to practice in medically under-served areas after graduation. These students would be assisted in their education by federal scholarships. The legislation also includes a provision allowing the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare to correct surpluses and shortages in certain medical specialties by allocating residency positions.

And in order toencourage more' doctors to become general practitioners, instead of the Senate bill requires medical schools to reserve a certain percentage of their hospital residency slots for family practice physicians. This is important legislation in the goal to restore equity to the system of medical services. The American taxpayer underwrites a considerable part of the cost of medical education in this country, but unfortunately, people in rural areas are not getting their money's worth in medical services. The outlook for this legislation is considered favorable, expecially since similar legislation has already been passed in the House.
