Through this hook-up, the medical technician at the scene can des­ cribe the injuries to the physician who then gives advice as to what immediate emergency measures should be taken. As a result of this contact, the trauma center is alerted to the type and seriousness of any injuries. The necessary equipment and medical personnel can be assembled before the patient arrives. Once the patient arrives at a trauma center, he or she is the center of attention.

Soil Conservation Loan Program Will Aid Farmers The Illinois Farm Development authority has announced it is beginning its second major program of aid to the fanning community-a soil conservation assistance program. For more information on the program, contact a lending institution or the McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation district, telephone 815-338-0099. The soil conservation loan programs may be used to finance construction of permanent soil and water conservation practices or conservation farm equipment limited to specialized planters and drills used for no-till planting of row crops. Such planters and drills provide for a planting procedure in which seed bed preparation and planting are com­ pleted in one operation. Under this program there is neither a minimum nor a maximum loan for this program. Farmers need to go to a lending institution, fill out an application and obtain certification from the local Soil and Water Conservation district. According to Bill Wallis, executive director of the Illinois Farm Development authority, the fixed-rate loans have ranged from 7 to 11.5 percent. About half the loans made- usually variable rate loans made on longer term land purchases-have been at 60-80 percent of the prime rate of interest. According to Wallis. the authority has approved $9,292,781.00 in land purchase and equipment loans since it began its financial un­ derwriting work last December. This is a program in which 150 banks around the state already have signed <hi to receive tax exempt in­ terest bonds for loans made to far­ mers. While the legislature set a $100,000 loan limit on land purchases and the authority set $250,000 net worth limits on the first program, both of these limits do not apply to the new soil conservation program, Wallis stressed. Do you know how to respond if someone is seriously injured or becomes critically ill? When' an emergency happens, co-workers, family, friends, and you, should know how to take basic measures to .save life and how to get help. But it is often the care received from an emergency ' medical technician that makes the difference between permanent disability or life and death. - The eoncept of emergency medical services originated on the battlefields of Vietnam, and was perfected there. During the war, a seriously- wounded soldier had a better chance of sur­ vival than a person seriously injured in an auto accident on an Illinois Highway. In the sixties, even though accidental in­ jury was the third most common killer in this country, there were few hospitals in the United Statesggble to cope with serious injuries as expertly as a combat medical unit. The Illinois Depart­ ment of Public Health, aware of this situation, launched a statewide program in 1971 to provide care for victims of traumatic injury on Illinois roads and better care for them once they reached the emergency room at a hospital. There are four elements of care a trauma patient needs: emergency care,' rapid transportation, ef­ fective communications and an emergency medica l fac i l i ty equipped to treat his par t icu la r in jury . Before' 1971, an injured person could not take any of these elements for granted. Immediate emer­ gency care was usually given by a policeman or a passerby who had not had the proper training needed to treat a critically injured person.- Even with the arrival of an aynKiriflnppi|f the patient Sl't W<-"«6r«K:-Of-'- rece iv ing exper t a t ­ tention, for at that time, very few ambulance attendants were trained to treat serious injuries. Currently, J5 percent of the population in Illinois is . covered by emergency medical technician services. Today there are 462 private ambulances in the state which have been licensed under the Emergency Medical Services act. Some ambulances operated by municipalities or units of local govern­ ment also have been licensed. In addition, one of four helicopters owned by the State Department of Tran­ sportation could be used to transport a patient. And there are backup helicopters available from the Air National Guard, the Coast Guard, the private sector and, in the Chicago area, the Fire department. We now have a communication system which makes it possible as their immediate goal the stabilization ^ condition. ResuscitaWu* equipment, intravenous so lu t ions , ca rd iac monitoring devices, dressings, splints, and medications are readily available. If surgery is requi red , there a re consultants assigned to the trauma unit who are trained in all surgical s p e c i a l t i e s a n d anesthesia. As a result of the emergency medical system in our state, many more lives are being saved each year.
