FEDERAL MARINE HOSPITAL
In the person of Dr. L. D. Fricks, United States
Public Health officer for the Northwest and Alaska dis
tricts, this area of the country is fortunate. Largely,
through the efforts of Dr. Flicks, the first unit of a
great marine hospital costing $1,608,000 will soon be
under construction in Seattle.
The building will be almost a complete departure
from others in Public Health Service work. It is to be 16
stories high and of compact modern structure rather
than of the low, pavilion type heretofore used. Of con
temporary architecture, it will admit use of much glass,
providing more than adequate air and light, most de
sirable in hospital buildings
Sea-faring men of the North Pacific and Alaska
will be assured of even better hospitalization than ever
before. The Seward General Hospital, a unit of the U. S.
Public Health Service, as well as other units along the
coast of Alaska, are a part of the Seattle department
and as such will feel doubly proud of their association.
WHAT CAUSES COLDS?
Practically every resident of Seward experienced
during the past winter and at the present time, the dis
agreeable, common cold and there are many who have
them with mort or less regularity during the year.
Such sufferers should be interested in the recent
suggestion of Dr. E. V. McCollum, who told the Amer
ican College of Physicians that it is possible that the
cause of this scourge is a diet deficient in vitamin A..
This vitamin is found in butter, whole milk, yolk
of eggs, spinach, lettuce, celery leaves, turnip tops, beet
tops, and radish tops. It is also found in carrots and
sweet potatoes, yellow corn, liver, kidney and sweet
breads.
Regardless of whether you suffer from common
colds or not vitamin A is necessary to the maintenance
of your general health. It is particularly vital for chil
dren, who become susceptible to certain infectious dis
eases if they have it in insufficient amounts.
ROAD CONSOLIDATION? NO!
While there might have been a time Th^jGrateway
looked upon Foster’s suggestion of consolidation of the
Alaska Road Commission and the Bureau of Public
Roads, we are inclined to believe the solon is thinking
in terms of provincialism than territorial in scope. Both
of the road departments mentioned are carrying on im
measureably well and we think it would be the height
of folly to combine the two units- We doubt if an Army
unit can merge with a civilian organization.
Possibly extension of the Federal Highway Act to
the Territory, as it has been extended to the Hawaiian
Islands, may mean additional millions poured into the
Territory, but what does Alaska want at this time with
paved highways, etc? With moneys available each year,
we believe it is well to to well enough alone at this
time; the A. R. C. and the B. of P. R., both highly train
ed and efficient road-building agencies, are each year
making Alaska history. They are up here to build roads
and are doing so as expeditely as possible. They are an
integral part of the country and to see one or the other
go. would be akin to loosing a right arm
Seward is the business of every person who intends
to live here; visitors and peddlers are not expected tc
take much interest in its growth.

MS BOXER !N
PORT WITH TONNAGE
TAKES COIE SOUTH
Under the command of the vet
eran Captain Whitlam, the MS
Boxer, of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, arrived in port early to
day from Southeastern Alaska
to discharge approximately 225
tons of general supplies for the
department’s stations along the
railroad belt and Interior points,
and to load 300 or 400 tons of
Evan Jones coal for stations to i
the South.
Incoming pasengers included
Superintendent Arthur Miller of
the Anchorage district; Mrs. Mil- j
ler, Mrs. Capt. Mable Crawford,
and Mrs. Hart, both for Cordova;
| th$ latter two going to that port
' from here. Mr. and Mrs. White,
of the Bureau of Public Roads,
were passengers from Seattle to
Juneau.
Mrs. Capt. Mabel Crawford is
the wife of the skipper of the B.
of Fisheries vessel Kittiwake which
was scheduled to leave Sitka to
day for it’s Cordova base. Mrs.
Capt. Crawford, it is believed, is
the third Alaska lady to be grant
ed a captain’s license. Mrs. Hart
is the wife of the 1st mate of the
Kittiwake.
Chief Engineer Sanvig is the
same efficient and handsome offi
cer and with Captain Whitlam
