SEWARD HOSPITAL
Hardly a day passes that does not witness the im
portance and value of the Seward General Hospital in its
relation to local and suburban health and the extent of
prominence this institution has gained for itself through
out the Interior and along the coast line from the Gulf of
Alaska to the outflung Aleutian Islands. To these remote
regions the hospital is a Godsend in the service it is giv
ing as against the condition existing before the hospital
came into being.
From as far away as the Koyukuk and far out on the
Seward Peninsula have come patients who have been the
recipient of the modern service offered and built up by
the pioneers of this splendid institution. In turn they have
spread the reputation of the hospital until it is now known
throughout the Territory.
In addition to the service now being supplied, the
hospital is destined to play an important part in the ap
proaching era of mining and other industrial progress
in supplying protection of those engaged in hazardous
employment.
The Federal government protects its employees by
supplying hospitalization, but as yet no system has been
worked out where private employers may contract serv
ice and thus safeguard themselves and employees.. This
is because of the absence of such institutions as the Sew
ard General Hospital. Now that it has proven itself capa
ble of meeting every medical and surgical need, the way
is open for the enactment of legislation whereby it will be
possible for employers of labor to create a health insur
ance system whereby everyone may avail themselves of
this one of the most important and valuable needs of in
dustrial progress.
Among its other boasts, Seward may point to the
hospital as one of its most prized assets.
A NEW FIELD FOR THE AIRPLANE
The discovery and reporting of lifeboats adrift off
the coast of Colombia by an airplane and the subsequent
rescue of the occupants of the boats in the nick of time]
opens a new field to the airplane — that of scouting for
shipwrecks where wireless has warned of disaster.
In this manner conditions such as affected the crew
of the motorship Baden Baden may be relieved by planes
dropping food while the castaways are awaiting the ar
rival of ships of rescue.
In the case of the Baden Baden the chance sighting of
the lifeboat and its immediate report prevented what
might have been an unsolved mystery of the ship’s dis
appearance and the torture by slow starvation of those
of the crew who were saved.
A dispatch received yesterday said a movie actor was
lost in a snow storm near Los Angeles. Wonder how that
bit of publicity slipped through? Nothing like a snow
storm yet in Alaska and they call this the land of ice and
snow and California the land of eternal sunshine. Hooey,
we calls it!
After drinking milk from the Seward Dairy for years,
then indulge in a milk drinking orgy in the States, (hon
est, it was milk) citizens can better appreciate the high
quality of the local product. It just can’t be beat, that all.
A would-be moulder of fashions says we took a back
ward step when man gave up knee breeches for long pants.
We’d like to see him get out of a pair of long ones by the
same process.
The ultimate has been reached. Seattle is preparing
to investigate a grand jury.

TO Ull RESIDENT
Radio listeners in Seward and
Alaska can well imagine what a
spell the word Alaska has when an
nounced to broadcast fans in the
States, and especially to those in
■ the southern States and down into
* Mexico. The mention of Alaska
, brings to those far away people a
new idea of the wonderful North
land which they probably have only
heard of through tales of the diph
theria epidemic, a frozen north
I yarn or hardships encountered on
| the gold rush in the days of the
I Klondike gold rush,
j However, last night, world listen
ers to station XER, broadcasting
from a city just across the Rio
Grande river from Del Rio, Texas,
were given a new train of thought
in that the land of Alaska was
spoken of just as the States of Cali-j
fornia, Colorado, etc., and also
Mexico, in that they dedicated
numbers to radio listeners in a city
of Alaska just as elsewhere in the
world.
To listeners of XER who are not
familiar in the least with Alaska,
and who stopped in the spell that
the word cast, they probably will
begin to realize that Alaska is a
land which also boasts of modern
conveniences of civilization such as j
radio receivers, etc. < i
Station XER is the world’s most
powerful commercial broadcasting
station. The program from this
station came in with good volume
and clarity in Seward last eve
ning.

Kinley Park Transportation Com
