Rev. Paul Carlson, Now of Yakima,
Sends Gift Apples to Nome Hospital
(Fi'om the Yakima Paper) *
As the result of a cooperative
project spearheaded by the Rev.
Paul B. F. Carlson and family of
Yakima, patients and staff mem
bers of the one-man hospital at
Nome and children in an orphan
age at White Mountain in Alaska
will eat Yakima Valley apples for
Christmas.
During years of missionary ser
vice in Alaska for the Covenant
Church, Rev. Carlson worked with
both the orphanage, a project of
the denomination, and the hospi
tal.
Since leaving that field, the
minister has sent Christmas trees
to the two institutions at Christ
mas time, but this time it will be
Red and Golden Delicious apples
from the Valley. They will be
flown to their destinations by
Northwest and Pan American Air
Lines. The apples were donated by
John U. Nelson and Chester Whit
ney.
The hospital, the Maynard-Mac
Dougall Memorial Hospital, is a
25-bed institution that serves the
entii'e Seward Peninsula. It has a
tuberculosis wing with 10 beds.
Rev. Carlson, who served the
area for many years as a flying
missionary stationed at Nome,
worked with Dr. Fred M. Lang
sam, physician, surgeon and su
perintendent of the hospital.
The flying parson flew the doc
tor and his portable equipment to
many of the isolated villages,
where they set up a temporary,
portable clinic and administered
medical aid to many Eskimos who
would otherwise not receive care.
Many mercy flights from re
mote areas on the peninsula to the
hospital in Nome were made by
the missionary, including an occa
sional race with the stork. In fact,
their own small daughter was
born there.
Since leaving the missionary
field in Alaska, the Carlsons have
received word from Dr. Langsam
that he and his hospital have been
given recognition for diligent ser
vice. He wrote that the Board of
Commissioners of the Joint Com
mission on Accreditation of Chi
cago has informed him that his
hospital is the first “one man”
hospital ever to be approved and
accredited by the Joint Commis
sion.
“This,” the doctor wrote, “has
been a bright ray of sunshine in
what has otherwise been a dreary
and busy fall.”
The Carlsons hope the gift box
es of highly colored apples for the
holidays will add their bit of cheer
to the hospital and orphans in
spite of the gloomy weather of an
Alaska winter.
Mrs. Carlson recalls that one
holiday season while on the Nome
field they bought a box of small
and poorly colored apples for
$13.50 for distribution to the chil
dren so that each might have one.
They feel sure the beautiful Yaki
ma apples will prove a real treat.
Even their own children, includ
ing Ralph, 9, and Philip, 13, were
so excited over the fruit that
Ralph said, “Mother, look, s<
many apples! Do you think w<
could each have a whole one?”
The Carlsons came to Yakima
almost a year ago so that the fly
ing missionary could study air
plane mechanics in a local air
plane shop. He is now pastor of
the new Community Covenant
Church in Yakima.
