Memorial hospital, Woodstock, display the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals accreditation certificate. A two-year accreditation was announced this week. Don Peasley Photography The joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals has granted Memorial hospital at Woodstock the maximum obtainable accreditation, a full two- year accreditation. Announcement of the Joint Commission Board of Commissioner's action comes from Farlin Caufield, president, and Lee Pesce, executive director, in a joint statement by the two officials of Memorial Hospital. "We appreciate the outstanding efforts of hospital physicians and employees in achieving the quality standards established by the JCAH," Caufield said. The inspection team, which visited Memorial hospital in June, consisted of a physician, administrator, nurse, and an individual trained in laboratory methodology/ Pesce explained Memorial Hospital voluntarily participates in the Joint Commission accreditation process to assure quality patient care in all areas of service. During the on-site visit, the survey team studied the organization, policies and procedures of Memorial Hospital and its medical staff. The Joint Commission on Accreditation was founded in 1951 by five major associations of North American medicine and hospitals. Its goals was to encourage the attainment of uniformly high standards of institutional medical care. Those five members were the American College of Surgeons, American College of Physicians, American Sports? "I disapprove of all brutal sports, prize-fighting, angl­ ing--." "Good heavens! How can you name those two sports in the same breath?" "Why not? Isn't it the object of both pugilist and angler to land a hook in the jaw?" Hospital Association, American Medical Association and the Canadian Medical Association. The Canadian Medical association formed its own program in Canada in 1959. YOU CRN BRNK on it! Presented by STATE BANK OF RICHMOND member F.D.I.C. Since my wife started working full time last year, we have managed to do pretty well. In fact, we're much better off finan­ cially than we thought we could be at our age (we're both in our 20's). It's very tem­ pting to buy a lot of things we want on in­ stallment plans. Is there an established guideline for how much we can safely handle? More and more families are solving the problem of rising costs by adding a second in­ come to the family purse. Two income families should remember to exercise caution in building up the size of their debt load. What happens if a sudden job shake-up leaves one without work, or if the economy should take another sudden downturn? The good rule for financial security is: Don't commit more than 20 percent of after-tax income to monthly installment payments (not including mortgage). If your short- term debts can be liquidated in one year, you are on pret­ ty safe financial ground. I am HARRY J.

ROSIKOWSKI (Adv paid for by Candidate) VA Pilot Program For Alcohol Dependent Vets The Veterans ad­ ministration has started a pilot program of contractor- operated halfway houses for alcohol and drug dependent veterans. Congress authorized the program in 1979 and the agency expects to spend $6.8 million on it during the fiscal year starting Oct. 1. Dr. Stewart L. Baker of VA's Mental Health and Behavioral Sciences service, said the program will sup­ port continued residential care for veterans who have completed inpatient treatment at VA medical centers. Treatment at the halfway houses will be provided at an average daily cost of $17 versus hospital treatment costs of more than $100 daily. Last year, Baker said, alcoholism accounted for more than 100,000 of the nearly 1.3 million total ad­ missions to VA hospitals, second only to car­ diovascular disease patients. More than 22,000 drug dependent veterans were admitted in the same period. Baker said the halfway house contract program is aimed at the six to eight percent of substance abuse veterans "who have the most difficulty after discharge. They are chronically disconnected from society, without family, often without fixed addresses and often lacking competitive skills for today's limited job market." Such veterans "have the most difficulty readjusting after detoxification and are likely to relapse early," he said. The new halfway house program will stress the one- day-at-a-time approach of Alcoholics Anonymous and place less emphasis on extensive medical support. Contracts have already been signed with 13 halfway houses and a total of 80 contracts are expected to be signed during fiscal year 1981 to care for more than 1,500 veterans. An evaluation study of the pilot program will also be made for Congress. In addition to the contract program, VA is establishing halfway houses of its own in separate buildings at several of its medical centers. The first one opened this month at Murfreesboro, Tenn., and another will be opened later this year at West Haven, Conn. SECRETARIES MONTH Gov. James R.
