Sublette County Receives Convertible Ambulances for Two Stations
Sublette County adopted two Mercury Ambule wagons converted from passenger station wagons to ambulances. Each carries a full length cot, portable oxygen, space for two cots and an attendant, plus sirens and lights. Furnished by Witherspoon Motor Company on bid, units can be reconverted to an eight passenger station wagon in minutes. One ambulance will serve Big Piney and the other Pinedale, extending emergency service to three hospitals within one to one and a half hours. This enhances regional medical response amid rising gas and oil activity.

Veterans Benefit Gap Between Wartime and Peacetime Vets
The Veterans Administration announced that wartime veterans and dependents have received 81.7 billion in benefits and costs, while peacetime veterans have about 1 billion. The difference stems from eligibility: peacetime vets lack hospitalization, domiciliary care, non service connected pensions, and vocational rehabilitation for those injured in service.

Peacetime veterans face limited readjustment benefits
The article notes that peacetime veterans receive no environmental benefits in readjustment programs and that wartime veterans receive far larger wartime benefits. It compares the $1 billion spent on peacetime veterans and dependents since the Revolution with higher wartime totals such as Korea at $2.66 billion and World War II at $46.2 billion. It also mentions a Wyoming Game and Fish Commission publication on diseases of wildlife and its authors, produced by the division and university cooperation.
