Authority Setting Up Policy
Hospitals To Allow 'Pops'
In Delivery Rooms Here
The Houston County
Hospital Authority last week
moved steps closer to allowing
fathers in delivery rooms at
Houston hospitals. Hospital
Executive Director James
Wagner told the board that he
and board member Mrs.
Eleanor Gramm set up last
Friday an appointment with
Dr. Carl Beard to formulate
policies.
Mrs. Granum said that four
of five hospitals she had
surveyed told her they per
mitted fathers in delivery
rooms during the birth of
offspring. Fellow board
member Barry Jones em-
that Director
Wagner should “move at all
deliberate speed to get it
implemented” in the Houston
hospitals.
One of the Warner Robins
Hospital medical staff, Dr.
Mike Reneau, was present at
the meeting and told the group
that a state maternity
program meant for low in
come families, MATPAK, was
having difficulties in Houston
County. Reneau said that he
once delivered up to six babies
per month under the program,
but had to cease due to patient

Reneau said that state
reimbursement was
somewhat limited in the
MATPAK program, and said
that an eligible family could
make up to SSOO per month. He
asked if the Houston County
Hospital would continue to
participate in MATPAK,
mentioning that at least one

Authority Chairman
Sherrill Stafford assured
Reneau that the Houston
hospital would participate in
the program.
The hospital board also last
week rejected a motion by
board member Don Parkinson
ASCS Office announced.
“In a few areas the 1974
stock of peanuts has already
been moved from commercial
and farmer-owned
warehouses,” Taunton noted,
“but in other locations,
principally in the southeast,
we are still trying to find
suitable warehouses into
which the peanut tonnage can
be transferred.
‘‘Where standard crop
warehouses don’t have space,
appropriate facilities could be
factory and military buildings
that are no longer in use and
might be capable of protecting
large quantities of bulk far
mers stock peanuts, Mr.
Taunton said. “Such stock
requires about 120 cubic feet
of space per ton, and we need
a lot of storage so that which is
not sold can be moved by mid-
June.”
Mr. Taunton said recon
ceniration of the warehousing
is a provision of an annual
Commodity Credit Cor
poration contract with
producer associations that
administer the field operation
of the peanut loan program
under auspices of the

that would have ‘‘deferred
conversation on the proposed
Warner Robins hospital
Psychiatric Wing until July”
of this year. Parkinson ex
plained that he proposed the
deferral because he knew six
months would elapse before
the wing could be seriously
considered or begun and ‘‘saw
no point in deferring it on a
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service (ASCS).
"The County ASCS Office
will appreciate receiving
reports of any potential large
storage facility,” Mr. Taunton
said.

month after month basis.”
Board member Glynn
Greenway objected to
Parkinson’s motion, and
speaking of psychiatrist
Clifford Harden, said, “This
man has been delayed since he
arrived in town. We told him
we are all for it (the wing). I
can't see continuing to delay
it. We all agree we need this I
facility." ]
Authority Chairman Staf
ford put in, “Glynn, you are
saying if a study comes bat,;. ■
before July, to go ahead and I
move on it?”
Greenway responded, “Yes,
I think the people need it.”
Mrs. Eleanor Granum said,
“We should continue to study
it, instead of saying we won’t
discuss it for six months.” The
issue then came to a vote with
Parkinson casting the lone
ballot in favor of his motion to
defer until July discussion on
the project.
Thereupon, Parkinson,
named two months ago to
head a committee to in
vestigate the wing, submitted
his resignation as chairman of
the committee. He iater said
that his motion did not mean
he was against the con
struction of the wing and
added that all knew the
financial peril of the hospital
complex and knew the wing
wouldn’t be built for six
months, regardless of whether
or not discussion was made
each month.
During subsequent
discussion, Board Vice-
Chairman Billy Beckham
stated, “I don’t know who
promised the gentleman
(Harden) a psychiatric wing. I
was never at a meeting where
it was discussed!”
In response to a question by
an HHJ reporter, board
member Barry Jones said,
“The Authdrity is committed
to a feasibility study. If we
were to decide not iu build the
wing, it would be changing the
basic decision to proceed with
it."
Board Chairman Stafford
conceded that the board could
"very well” change its mind
to put in the psychiatry wing if
“it was proved to lose large
amounts of money,” but
added, “I don’t think that will
be the case.”
The wing would consist of 23
beds and cost estimates
ranged from a first estimate
of $120,000 to a present
“ballpark figure” of $20,000.
