Views On T. B. Problem
Aired at Chamber Lunch
The Chamber of Commerce had
two guests at their noon luncheon
yesterday, Dr. Fred Coddington,
chest surgeon from Mt. Edge
cumbe, who discussed the T.B.
situation before the meeting. He
stated that there still was a sad
lack of beds for tubercular pa
tients in the territory and that
until there were enough beds for
all having the disease, only those
patients are selected who have a
chance of survival. As a result,
advanced cases are still at large
and in contact with the popula
tion. Only by education can the
•spread of the disease 'be checked,
he stated.
Bieger Martinson, x-ray tech
nician for General Electric, told
of his work in installing x-ray
equipment in the MMM hospital.
He is installing a mobile x-ray
unit so that patients may be x
rayed in their beds instead of
being moved to the x-ray room.
Mr. Martinson, who has been in
this work for over 20 years, stated
that the equipment here is com
parable to any other hospital in
the territory and equal to some of
the best of similar size in the
States.
In a discussion on ways and
means of the community to im
prove the T.B. problem, Dr. Lang
sam went on record as being very
much in favor of the hot lunch
program for school children as a
program very worthy and having
his wholehearted support.
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Murdock
are the parents of a son, Jimmy
George, born November 25 and
weighing 8 pounds 14 ounces. Mr.

In Palmer-Nome
Basketball Games

coach. Bob Crites and a small
crowd of local rooters will arrive
by air in Nome Friday afternoon

ainst the Nome Nanooks. This will

at Palmer. On Dec. 6, the Moose

last season over at Fairbanks, the
Palmer Moose gained a victory
over the Nome Nanooks 35-28.
Coach Hahn and his boys will be
seeking revenge for the set-back.
Palmer uses a fast break style
of play and matched with the ex
plosive charge of the Nanooks, an
exciting evening of basketball
should be played.

cludes: Larsh, Brown, Ross, Hem
mer and Winegarner. For the Na
nooks: Willoya, Sahlin, Swanberg,
Greene and George Bell.

them at the gymnasium an game
nights.

game $1.50. Children, two games,
$2.00 and for one game $1.25.
Nanooks Win 3, Lose 3

The Nome Nanooks broke even
at the .500 mark last evening as
they edged a scrappy Lomen
Commercial team 45-42. Out of
the six games played by the High
School, they managed to get an
even split. In the first contest
I the 142nd Radar knocked over the'
5001st 36-27.
Lomen’s, made up ex-high
school players, led through most
of the game and midway in the
final quarter the Nanooks broke
through to take the ^fead. Milt
Willoya was knocked unconscious
by a blow to the stomach in the
tinal quarter, but the injury was
n't too serious and he is expected
to see plenty of action in the
Palmer series at the end of the
week here.
Kor the victorious high school,
George Bell and Buzzy Swanberg
each scored 12 points, Willoya 10,
Elmer Green 7 and A1 Sahlin and
Chubby Olson two each.
Chug Willoya of Lomen’s hit
for 13, Pete Larsen 11, Vincent
Ahkolik 10, Issac Larsen and John

minutes, Pate of the 142nd paced
his team with 16, Pulleam 5, and
Mosely 4. For the losing 5001st,
McIntyre 10, Dunn 7, Kramer 5.
