Archdeacon Protests
And Says He Detests
Gaiters—Such Pests
HALIFAX, England, UP)—The
Archdeacon of Halifax took issue
today with a group of parishion
ers who hinted, in rhyme, that he
is insufficiently gaitered.
The archdeacon, the Venerable
Eric Treacy, declared in an open
letter to his flock that he wears
his gaiters about 30 times a year.
This, he said, should be often
enough for anybody, considering
how much the things cost and
the fact that “they are extremely
uncomfortable to wear and, in
hot weather, intolerable.”
Gaiters are the black silk semi
tights extending from the knee to
the ankle which Anglican church
men wear with knee-britches.
Recently the archdeacon re
cieved a critical note signed “The
Heathens,” which went:
There wag an archdeacon 1
who said,
“May I take off my gaiters
in bed?”
But the bishop said “No.
“Wherever you go,
“You must wear them until
you are dead.”

an hour before coming down

i The eour martial had sentenced

dishonorable discharge after find
ing him guilty of threatening an

Drastic Cut in Number of TB Patients
Brought to Seattle From Alaska
SEATTLE —Dr. Bernard Bu
cove, Washington State health di
rector, has reported a drastic cut
in tuberculosis patients brought to
Seattle-area sanitoriums from the
Territory of Alaska.
He said Monday that by June
30 Alaska TB patients at Firland
Sanitorium will have been dis
charged or transferred.
Dr. Bucove said about 200'Alas
kan natives are being cared for
either at Firland or one of the
two private sanitoriums in this
area, Laurel Beach and Riverton.
Contracts under which the two
private hospitals are handling
Alaskan patients expire next
Mrs. Sarah Maynard
Berthelsen, Former
Ncmeite, Dies in Portland
PORTLAND, OP)—Funeral ser
vices will be held here tomorrow |
for Mrs. Sarah Maynard Berthel
sen, long-time Alaska resident
and president of the International
Sourdough Reunion, who died
Sunady.
Mrs. Berthelsen lived for many
years in Nome, where her brother,
the late George Maynard, pub- j
lished The Nome Nugget. She!
later lived in Ketchikan and, in 1
recent years, in Portland.
Mrs. Berthelsen was to have ■
presided at the International
Sourdough Reunion in- Seattle in
August. She was a past president
of the Alaska Yukon Society. She
I is survived by her husband, Bert. 1
Dec. 31, Dr. Bucove said.
Dr. John E. Nelson, a co-owner
of the Laurel Beach Hospital, said
the sanitorium could be sold or
converted into some other use.
Alaskan patients constitute 22
percent of Washington’s TB pa
tient load, said Dr. Bucove. Of
the 1,810 beds available for TB
patients in April, only 1,041 were
occupied—814 by Washingtonians
and the rest mostly by Alaskan
natives.
Dr. Bucove cited the Alaskan
patient reduction in announcing
hearings on the possibility of clos
ing two TB sanitoriums in Pierce
and Yakima counties.
Hearings are planned in July
to determine whether state finan
cial support should be withdrawn
from the Mountain View Sanitor
ium at Tacoma and the central
Washington TB hospital at Selah,
Yakima County.
Early closure of these two and
later closure of Edgecliff Sanitor
ium in Spokane were recommend
ed last week by a committte of
four tuberculosis experts, in a
report to Gov. Albert D. Rosellini.
Closure of the hospitals would
result in consolidation of all TB
facilities at Firland Sanitorium
here.
