Seattle on furlough. I left Seat

March 10, visiting Ketchikan,
Juneau, Cordova,. Valdez, Sew

"This is a fair town. The
population is probably 3 or 4
thousand with most of them
engaged in war work. Snow still
covers most of the streets (April
16) but I believe there are two
paved streets. There are three
buildings that could be consid
ered modern and new, apart
from the usual Alaska shingle
board hotels. They are the Latb
rop building, the Nordale hotel
and the Federal budding.
‘‘There is a swimming pool
and a bowling alley, something
to brag about this far north. The
business section centers around
approximately 4 blocks, although
the town is sprawled over a flat
area about a mile square. The
university is 7 miles out of town
"The ice pool is the big topic
around here now. I believe
every penny, or rather, every
nickel, in Fairbanks is tied up in

a bet of some sort. Besides the
regular Nenana pool, nearly
everyone has side bets. They
are betting if it will break in
April or May, if it will break
before 6 in the evening, if it will
break before noon and dozens of
other screwy angles. I even
heard where a fellow bet $100
that the temperature will be be
low 10 degrees below zero before
the ice breaks. Then there is a
local pool on the break of the
Chena slough. Think I will fill a
bathtub with water, set it in
front of the Federal building and
make a fortune selling ice pool
tickets on it. Want a chance on
my bathtub pool?”
No tanks.
The hospital is a brighter and
cheerier place than ever now—
this week the blackouts were re
moved for the first time since
their installation.
You may not think this is
worth recording but we do be
cause we got word indirectly
that one of the nurses thought
the paper should have something
in it about the GM hospital get
ting its face lifted.
Having once spent a vacation
in said hospital and learning at
first hands the power of said
nurses we can’t mention it fast
enough. If we didn’t it would be
our luck to get sequestrum of
the zygoma, or something, (see
Webster—we did) and find our
selves at the mercy of said
nurse.
Stop the presses. The GM
hospital has had its face lifted.
Members of the Rotary Club
are now posted on how to make
bread, clean clothes and fix
guns as the result of having
their luncheon at the Officer’s
Mess Tuesday at Fort Greely,
with a conducted tour afterward.
Members met General W. W.
Robinson at the Mess and then
dined on steaks, peas, French
fries, lettuce and tomatoes, two
kinds of hot bread and dessert.
