Tveter Praises
Treatment by VA
Veterans Hospital
Ward 9
Walla Walla, Wash.
To the Nome Nugget:
Thought I’d let you know where
I am, so that my many friends in
Nome could leam0of my new ad
dress. Apparently there was some
recent mention of my illness in the
Nugget, as numerous cards were
received while I was in the hospi
tal at Anchorage. Thanks.
For two weeks now [as of Dec.
11] I’ve been at the Veterans Hos
pital here. A very capable and
efficient staff of doctors and spec
ialists here insures the very best
possible care of tuberculous pa
tients.
You may be interested, to know
there are about 400 patients here.
On this floor, there are four men
from the general area of Nome
whom I’ve met: Sam Sango of
Nome; Lloyd Ipalook of Barrow
(Fred’s son); and Dan Tatoowi of
Gambell, who has spent some time
at Nome. Dan has the bed next to
mine, and through his Nome Nug
get I shall keep advised of Nome
activities. Understand that Arthur
Outwater of Nome” is also at the
hospital here.
Within a few days of my arri
val here, Mr. Conrad Yenhey paid
me a visit. It was nice to talk to
him again; and I was especially
grateful, because it was one of his
first absences from his wife, who
remained at home. “Ma” Yenney
has undergone an operation from
which she is gradually recovering
satisfactorily, but still weak. “Pa”
says that by now he is a good
nurse and housekeeper.
When the VFW and American
Legion sell their poppies next
spring, I hope you’ll put in a plug
from Tveter. These organizations
and many other service organiza
tions locally, serve veterans so
magnaminously at the hospital
here. They have gone all-out with
gifts at Christmas, concerts and
programs, personal services, etc.
and certainly deserve much credit.
I was completely uninformed re
garding their work and never re
alized the good which could result
from such as the poppy drives.
Anne and the children are nice- „
ly settled in our new home in An
chorage: 1516 Birchwood, Airport
Heights, Anchorage, Alaska. The
phone is 66904. Drop in or call
when you’re in Anchorage.
May we wish you all a most
blessed Christmas and a year
(filled with the usual Nome
niceties—that cordiality and con
tentment unexcelled in any other
town.
Sincerely,
o Ray Tveter
MAKE CHRISTMAS CANDLES
Christmas candles of attractive
forms can be made from shavings
of old candle butts.
Left over candles are saved
throughout the year. The wax is
shaved from the wick, melted, and
poured into molds, with a piece of
thick cotton twine used for a wick.
The wick is placed in the center
of the wax as it is ready to set.
Such candles can be made in
cup-cake pans and other recepta
cles.
