Four Clare, County residents have volunteered
to represent the county
in the 14-county East Central Michigan Health Service board of directors.
The volunteers are Dr.
E.  C.  Shurlow of Clare
and Bernard Baumann,
Ruth Koch and Rose Leh *
ner, all of Harrison. The
four volunteered to serve
on the board during the
first "On Target" meeting held in the county
by   the   ECMHS.     They
will attend a board meeting in Midland September
29,
The meeting, the first
of several to be conducted, was held in the
V.F.W. Hall at Harrison
last Thursday.  A second
meeting is tentatively
scheduled for October 13
in Harrison, according to
Dr. Charles White, community health planner
with the ECMHS.
A preliminary report
on health care facilities
and services was presented to persons attending the meeting in Harrison.
The services offered
by the ECMHS were discussed as were inadequate housing and lack of
sufficient dental care in
the county.
The problem of poor
sanitary conditions also
was discussed in relation
to poor living conditions
and the need to have more
public health service nursing care.
The On Target health
service program is part
of the rural health development project of the
ECMHS and is not a du-
plication of comprehensive health planning,
according  to Dr. White.
A   separate  regional
comprehensive     health
planning program is being
developed and will include
14 counties while the On
Target program includes
one nine counties.
The On Target rural
health development project has a more limited
objective, according to
Dr. White, in that it covers   only  nine  counties.
Another objective of the
program is to improve
the health service provided to residents living
in the rural area of the
ECMHS.

Gas Taxes Help To Pay
New Road Construction
From the standpoint of
car owners in Clare
County, how costly an un-.
dertaking has the 42,500
mile Interstate Highway
System become? •
How much are they contributing at the present
time to the construction
costs through gasoline
taxes and other auto-use
taxes?
During the past year,
based upon the latest figures, they forked up no
less than $200,000.
That is the amount that
went to the federal government. It is exclusive
of auto taxes collected
by the state.
ihe revenue went into
the Highway Trust Fund,
which takes care of 90
per cent of the. cost of
construction. The states
pay the other 10 per cent.
The heightened interest
in the highway program is
due to the battle now going
on in Washington over
moves to divert some of
the money to such needs
as railroad passenger
service, urban mass
transit and other transport problems.
Some Congressmen
feel that the nation's priorities no longer call for
the spending of the $5
billion or so collected
each year solely for new
highways.
Under the current federal tax on gasoline (4
cents a gallon) and the
special taxes on tires,
tubes and accessories,
the average Clare County
car owner is paying about
$30 a year into the trust
fund.
That is the amount incurred for   a  car  that
travels 10,000 miles a
a year and gets 14 miles
to the gallon.
The overall cost_orthe
6,670 passenger cars in
operation locally, comes
to $200,000 a year.
One of the matters before Congress at this time
is the future of the highway program, which is
due to expire in 1972.
Originally begun in 1956 at
an estimate- cost of $41
billion or more and .ore-
quire   at least six years
more to complete.
Far from agreeing to a
slowdown or limitation of
the work, state highway
officials and others are
urging that an even bigger
program be embarked
upon. They are asking
for more attention to the
development of local road
systems.
If Congress extends the
life of the program, as
presently constituted, for
another six years, Clare
County car operators will
ue contributing*-*an
additional $1,201,000.
