"We have a budget of $300 million for the medical center operations. 71 percent of which is people who live in the community and spend that money and pay taxes with it.

"And the average staff that they refer you to as a routine thing if you have trouble adjusting to your heart problem," he said. A vocational rehabilitation specialist is also with the program, counseling patients who have to change their jobs to accommodate their illness. In addition, patients in the program do city's services."

An agent of the auctioneer offered a bid of $3.75 million in an effort to get a $3.8 million bid, but no bidders took the bait. Potential buyers were not bidding for the 385-room resort and casino itself, but only a 15-year lease on the property owned by the Tiger Investment Corp. A bidding guide listed estimated payments to the landlord at $264,000 a month while other leases for furnishings and equipment upped -the monthly outlay to some $500,000.

Back creditors were to have been paid with the auction proceeds. But an unaudited financial statement for the 1980-81 fiscal year for the resort claimed a net profit of more than $3 million, although the hotel's operators, the NLV had been known to have lost money for several previous years. The Silverbird, one of Las Vegas' oldest resorts, opened in September 1948 as a $2 million, 79-room resort on Highway 91. The Thunderbird, as it was called then, was for years one of the premiere Strip resorts. The hotel fell on bad times, however, and was purchased in 1977 by the NLV whose owner, Major Riddle, also owned three other Las Vegas resorts.

Riddle remodeled the resort's casino and public areas at a cost of several million dollars, but when he died in 1980 his empire collapsed and the corporation eventually filed for voluntary bankruptcy. DURHAM, C. (AP) Two or three mornings a week, Larry Rogers goes to the Duke University football stadium, warms up with calisthenics and then jogs around the stadium track. The 51 year-old Rogers, who suffered a heart attack last year, is one of about 3,500 people who have been helped by the Duke University Preventive Approach to Cardiovascular Disease, a program specifically designed for the 150,000 residents of this Piedmont city and surrounding area. The benefits from DUPAC and other local medical programs are being used by the city as part of a three-year, $150,000 "City of Medicine" advertising campaign to lure industry and people to the area.

Durham boasts a physician-to-population ratio of 92.5 per 10,000 five times the national average. It has five hospitals, 2,000 patient beds and 22 percent of its workforce employed in health-related industry. And besides DUPAC, it offers residents other special health programs, including the Quit Smoking Clinic and the Duke Dietary Rehabilitation Clinic. Rogers began working with DUPAC, located in a new $5.2 million building that doubles as a press box during Duke's football season, after his heart attack. He said the program started him off walking, but built up to increasingly long periods of jogging.

Nurses check the weight and blood pressure of participants each day, while programs of warmups, bicycle work and cool down exercises complete the routine. "It's extremely good psychologically," Rogers said. "And to have those people on the staff of DUPAC take a real personal interest in you and to really keep up with you and know you by name, it does a lot for you." Rogers pays between $10 and $15 a week for his testing, and a more comprehensive six-month examination is available for $200. extra experimental work for ongoing research. Dr.

William G. Anlyan, Duke's vice president of health affairs, said DUPAC has consistently been a front-runner in the field of cardiac care. "No community that I know of with the possible exception of Rochester, has the spectrum of care available to it that you find in Durham," said Anlyan said. "And in Rochester, the Mayo Clinic is the main industry there. They don't have the large indigent (out-patient) population that we have." In addition to Duke, the campaign focuses on the Veterans Administration Hospital and Durham County General Hospital for general health care excellence.

In addition, Durham has McPherson Hospital, a private eye, ear, nose and throat institution, and the Lenox Baker Children's Hospital, a state-supported teaching hospital for disabled children. Wallace E. Jarboe, who is coordinating the "City of Medicine" campaign, said the program was concentrating on bringing new business to the community, sending its promotional material to medical-related industries, while emphasizing direct medical benefits to individuals. "The key to the individual's gain is lifestyle," Jarboe said. "Each person really has a lot of control over how many times he needs to go to a doctor or a hospital." Several of the medical facilities sponsor medical lectures throughout the series.

"There is one series called 'Health LAS VEGAS, Nev. (APi The first-ever auction of a major Strip hotel has apparently fizzled after bidders failed to match a $3.8 million minimum bid for a 15-year leasehold on the Silverbird Hotel. Federal Bankruptcy Judge Lloyd George on Wednesday ordered auctioneer Robert Deiro to negotiate overnight with a record promotion company owner who was the high bidder with a $3.5 million offer in an effort to reach a compromise on the sale. George slated a hearing for early Thursday for a report on the negotiations. Eddy King, chairman of the board of Star Makers Unlimited of Los Angeles made the top bid in the afternoon auction slated to satisfy creditors of the financially-troubled resort.

King's offer easily topped the $3 million bid of an unidentified bidder, but did not match the minimum bid wanted by the bankruptcy court. "I'm very disappointed," said Deiro. "The offers are far less than what the creditors need. What we have is a hotel worth about $2.5 million to those in the know, but we need $3.8 million." The auction itself, ordered earlier by George after the resort failed in a reorganizaton effort to pay its creditors, attracted an overflow crowd of about 300 persons, mostly spectators, to a convention area at the Silverbird. Although some 20 potential buyers had registered earlier as bidders, only a few actually offered bids to-Deiro.

While gamblers oblivious to the hotel sale continued to play in the casino area, fellow casino owner Bob Stupak opened the bidding at $1 million for the resort and casino.
