Child Health Conferences Held
Mrs. Ida Sprenger, Nome Pub
lic Health nurse reports that
Child Health Conferences were
held during the later part of Nov
• ember and the first part of Dec
ember. All parents of children
below school age were invited to
bring children for physical ex
aminations by Dr. Morcom.
These conferences were held as a
means of promoting normal grow
th and development of the child.
The advantages of physical ex
aminations for school children
have been stressed in recent
years but it is also important
! that children below school age
' have medical and nursing super
vision. Health supervision should
begin as soon as the child is born
i A total of 93 children were en

ference. Dr. Morcom made the
; examination with the assistance
of Mrs. Sprenger and Miss
Phoebe Sheppard, Office of In
dian Ail'airs Nurse. Mrs Gus
(O’Leary and Mrs Wilbur Wood
j assisted with the records and
Mrs Walter Slack acted as host
ess. Parents were notified of the
' conference by means of letters
\ mimeographed by the school and
delivered by school children.

The fire department was call
led out this morning at about 4:30
I to a cabin near the Catholic
Church. It seems that some bed
I ding caught on fire and the cabin
! filled with smoke. Mary Stanley
i the only occupant of the build
' ing was apparently asleep and
when she did awake became con,
fused and either couldn’t find the
door or couldn’t open it. She1
broke out a small window and
climbed out suffering a number
of cuts from the jagged glass.
Little damage was done to the
building except for a small holei
burned in the floor.

| W P Wood read the sermon.
Peter Albert Yager was born
in Esthonia, June 28, 1870. He is
| survived by three sisters living
I in Esthonia. He died December
12, 1939 at the age of 69.
As he was ever a man of sim
I pie tastes he would not on this
| occasion wish to be eulogized.
\ For so many years he walked
| and talked in your midst that he
| needs no words of ours to en
; hance his memory in your hearts.
. He followed the sea in his
youth and came to Kodiak Island
! in 1893. Later he partook of all
j the Dawson excitement and;
came down the Yukon to Nome
I in 1900. Here on the Peninsula
; he has resided ever since—a true i
; servant of the people. In his gen
! ial, kindly way he carried good
; cheer along with the mail or
j freight he delivered to isolated
i people. Pete and his schooner
I and Pete and his dog team are j
well remembered. He never held
back because of stormy weather.
Such a character is missed in
any community—God bless him!
