side trips and have had a great
many interesting experiences. A
short time ago while enroute to
Valdez from Fairbanks motor
trouble developed and it was nec
essary to make a forced landing.
The plane is now undergoing re
pairs in Fairbanks. Miss Heflin
intends to sell the plane and an
ticipates purchasing a new one

Both young ladies have been

main in Fairbanks. Miss McQuin
is now working for the Stump
Radio Repair Shop in that city.
Miss Heflin who is interested in

Gold” which concerns Fairbanks,
and to be finished in December,
a book which is already contract

brief stay and is anticipating

Nome. She is expecting to return
to Fairbanks as soon as weather
permits.

The Advisory Board of the May
■ nard Columbus Hospital met on
September 16 to discuss the hos
pital and its needs and after mak
mg a careful survey of the sit-’
nation decided to put on a cam
paign for funds. Members of the ;
j board are Dr. Thomas Morcom,
Rev. Thomas Cunningham, A. M.
Hartford Joe fCappy) McDoug-j
■all, Henry Miller, A. Polet, Lars
Rynning. LeRoy Sullivan, M. J.
Walsh and Rev. Wilbur P. Wood.
The two major needs are the
replacement of the old beds and
the construction of an elevator
which will facilitate the handl
ing of injured and surgical pa-;
tients At present it is necessary
to carry them up and down on a !
stretcher. This is dangerous, par-]
ticularly since sufficient help is
not always available. The ap
proximate cost of these two
changes will be thirty seven hun
dred dollars.
It is four years since the hos
pital has asked the community
for any contributions. As is gen
erally known, the Maynard-Col
umbus Hospital is a non-profit
organization owned and operated:
by the Woman’s Home Mission-1
ary Society of the Methodist Epis,
copal Church. Until three years
ago this society contributed fromj
one thousand to eighteen hun
dred dollars a year toward the
expense of running the hospital.]'
Since that time the hospital has
been able to meet its own ex-j
penses, but the margin of profit
is not sufficient to buy needed
new equipment and to take care
of the necessary repairs.
It is hoped that every one will
contribute generously so that
comfortable beds may be avail
able to all those needing hospital
services.
The variou^ industrial and
business groups in Seward Pen
insula will be reached by letter.
Nome will be canvassed. Con
tributions should be made pay
able to Maynard-Columbus Hos
pital.
