MMM Hospital
1958-59 Budget
Set At $30,500
Emma Burris, executive sec
retary of the Women’s Division of
of the Board of Missions f the
Methodist Church which operates
the MMM Hospital and Mrs. E. U.
Robinson one of the directors of
the organization met with the
local Hospital Board Wed. even
ing and discussed some of the
problems confronting the local
hospital.
Most important problem on the
agenda was the rehabilitation
program planned for the hospital
which has been damaged exten
sively by the permafrost condi
tions, inside and out. Contracts
will be announced soon for this
work.
The visitors expressed gratifi
cation for the excellent admin
istration of the hospital and the
work of Dr. W. Woodcock.
Mrs. Robinson explained that
Nome hospital was one of about
a thousand projects handled by
the Women’s Division in 32
countries and that Miss Burris
supervises 76 of these projects.
She explained that the funds
which support these projects come
from voluntary donations of Meth
dist Church women, totaling
1,800,000 members all over the
world. The 48 board members
directing the work are all volun
teer workers serving without pay
as a “sharing experience”.
Only nine per cent of the mon
ey is usd for administration, she
stated, a fact that is hard to be
lieve in this era of high wages.
It was announced that a be
quest made the MMM Hospital,
not local, was being used for
storm windows in a part of the
hospital which to date has not
had double windows.
Miss Burris explained that be
quests to any of the institutions
are kept exclusively for the pro
ject to which they were endowed.
$30,500 has been budgetd for
the 1958-59 program in addition
to supplies.
Miss Burris and Mrs. Robinson
enjoyed a trip to Wales yesterday
and highly praised their pilot,
Roy Luke, of Alaska Airlines.
They left today, continuing a
three week trip in the territory.

The Air Force disclosed how
it could be done in a demonstra
tion that rocketed a big F-100-D
fighter into the air from a mobile
launcher.
In time of war, said the Air
Fore*, fighter planes could be
dispersed in rough, desolate ter
rain, then fired into the air like
missiles when needed.
