Hospital
Changeover
Considered
A plan to turn the Griffin
Memorial hospital over to a re
ligious order for operation has
been under consideration for the
past few weeks. Administrative
and financial difficulties involv
ing the hospital are behind the
recent action of the board of
trustees in sending a letter via
Bishop Fitzgerald, recent visitor
here, to Governor Gruening, at
Juneau, testifying that the board
feels the hospital can be of more
service to the community and
less of a financial burden to the
city if operated by a religious
order.
Difficulties in the way of such
a transfer include securing such
an order to take it over, as many
do not have the nurses and staffs
available now to take on addi
tional hospitals; and ownership
of the hospital, built with Ter
ritorial funds, which would have
to be transferred by legislative
act.
A copy of the letter to the
governor was sent the Territor
ial Commissioner of Public
Health, and a reply on the pro
posal is expected soon.
OPA News
The gravity of the large truck
tire situation was emphasized
when it was announced by the
Alaska Rationing Executive,
Helene G. Johnson, that an a
mendment to tire regulations
used in the States invalidated
all certificates for tires of that
type issued prior to July 16.
Territorial certificates were ex
empted, however, and local
boards will continue to ration
these tiies. In the States this
power has been placed in the
hands of Emergency Truck Tire
Boards. The Alaska quota dur- ^
ing this critical period is low ^
and local boards have been in- ^
structed to allot tires to the most ,
essential user only. ;
The cafe across from the Bel
mont cafe is being painted this
week by Harvey Edwards and
Cy Crawford in preparation for
Its opening by Amanda Price. It
will be called the Black & Tan
lafe.
