Mrs. Lucie Trigg,
Nurse At MMM, Featured
In Methodist Magazine
The story of the month in a
monthly Methodist Church pub
lication features Lucie Okpealuk
(now Mrs. Darryl Trigg).
The article tells of her early
life on Little Diomede, her early
schooling in Nome, followed by
High School in Mt. Edgecumbe,
where she was awarded a Mae
Pease scholarship to the Pennsyl
vania Hospital Training School in
Philadelphia.
The article relates how her de
termination to be a nurse over
came the handicap of a two year
period spent in a sanitarium with
TB, which interrupted her col
lege work, and her final achieve
ment of graduating as a registered
nurse.
Mrs. Catlin, administrator for
the MMM Hospital here where
Lucie has been employed, who
wrote the story, highly praises
her capabilities.
Mrs. Catlin said today that she
has taken steps to establish a
nurses’ scholarship fund to make
it possible for another Eskimo
girl to have the opportunity for
training that Lucie had.
Tape recordings sent to wom
en’s church clubs about the work
done here have already brought
in some funds for this project.

Raising Funds
For New Church
The lay leaders of the Commu
nity Methodist Church have been
'busy this past week laying the
ground work for the fund-raising
for the new church which is
needed.
The increa'se in attendance, es
pecially with the youth groups,
has mde it necessary to overflow
into the parsonage and parsonage
kitchen in order to function at all.
The church sanctuary which was
built in 1902; due to the perma
frost has been condemned as far
as repairs are "concerned, due to
the condition of timbers, floors
and framework which is badly
out of shape.
The estimated cost of the new
church is estimated at about $100,
ooo, and the congregation is being
asked to raise $10,090 of this
amount in pledges to be paid over
a period of years.
The challenge is being met by
the committees now working on
the several phases of the work,
and they will be assisted by a
professional financial leader from
Oregon, Reverend Roy Finch.
