Homes have been found for all 50 multihan-
dicapped children living at Children's Shelter
Inc., 5903 NW 52, which will be closed Feb. 5.
Debra Rothe, head of a Human Services De-
partment task force locating homes for the
children, said five children have already left
and tentative plans call for all others to be
moved from the home early next week. Most
are going to state institutions for the mentally
retarded.
Shelter officials say they are closing the
home because it costs too much to operate and
state-ordered improvements would be too cost-

Httepitai amends request
; Doctors General Hospital scaled down its re-
quest for 121 beds to 106 beds in an applica-
tidn that proposes to move the 55-year old hos-
pital to south Oklahoma City. The state Health
Planning Commission today scheduled a
March hearing on the amended application.
Doctors General, 1407 N Robinson, wants to
move to a site on SW 89, east of the H.E. Bailey
Turnpike extension. Earlier this month the re-
view committee of the state Health System
Agency turned down a 119 million plan.

Hospital vote rejected
MIDWEST CITY — The Midwest City Coun-
cil decided Tuesday not to put Midwest City
Memorial Hospital's future to a citywide vote.
Council members, acting as hospital trustees,
rejected council member Daphna Andrews'
proposal that voters decide the hospital's fu-
ture in March.
She asked to offer the voter four options on
the hospital. The ballot would ask if the hospi-
tal should be expanded by the sale of bonds,
expanded by spending normal hospital reve-
nue, expanded only enough to meet govern-
ment requirements or be sold.
Challenger elected
David Brown was elected to the Francis Tut-
tle Vo-Tech school board Tuesday, defeating
incumbent board president Douglas R Low,
1,627 to 1,178. Voters also approved a mill levy
for the school's building fund, 2,422 to 634.
Brown, till NW is an architect and ws
elected from the district's Zone 4, which en-
compasses Western Heights school district
north of the Canadian River and Putnam City

The program will be held at McFarland
