MANY JOIN IN WISHING
'HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARRIE'
Many friends in Nome join in
wishing “Happy Birthday” to
Carrie McLain. Most people did
not have the opportunity of call
ing on Mrs. McLain at the hos
pital on the occasion of her 65th
birthday.
Mrs. McLain, retired City Clerk,
has been hospitalized with a
broken leg for many months.
Loose dogs upset her while she
was walking to church, and she
suffered a bad fall. Now she is
starting to walk again, with the
aid of crutches.
Yesterday friends bearing a
birthday cake, surprised her at
the hospital.
Probably her most cherished
birthday gift was the informa
tion that she will be going home
this week.
