Armed Forces Day
Statement by
Secretary of Labor
By JAMES P. MITCHELL
ANCHORAGE—A cancer treat
ment center for all Alaska, locat
ed in Anchorage, may soon be a
reality.
The Anchorage Board of Real
tors has undertaken as a civic
project the establishment of such
a center. The idea was conceived
by Evelyn (JVIrs. George) Sehms,
board member, who with Eugene
Saxton, serves as co-chaiman of
the newly formed group.
Mrs. Sehms, inspired by Lu
Ausman’s stories in the local pa
pers, asked permission of Mrs.
Ausman to use her name in con
nection with such a center, in a
telephone conversation to Seattle
Thursday. The name of the move
ment will be The Lu Ausman
Alaska Cancer Center.
A board of trustees has been
! appointed, the members volun
j teering to serve for the center,
j The board to date is composed of
Dr. Duane Drake, radiologist at
Providence Hospital; Charles Ru
therford, of the City National
Bank; John (Jack) Van Housen,
deputy commissioner of the De
! partment of Labor; Pat Irvine, cf
j the Alaska Title Insurance Co.;
and Clifford Groh, of Hartlieb,
Groh and Rader, attorneys.
Four more members will be
•named as soon as possible.
The directors plan a complete
treatment center which includes
the necessary equipment and a
building to house such equipment.
Dr. Drake has outlined a pro
gram which includes the purchase
of three machines used in the
treatment, the cost of which
would approximate $40,000.
