" . . . (hat government of the people, by the people,
for the people shall not perish from the earth.'—Lincoln
Nurse Who Visited Kodiak, Other
Points, Reports On Trip On Return
Closer cooperation between
community groups and health
department personnel in the
Territory, and the need for con
tinued implementation of health
programs, is the conviction of
Miss Lillian A. Gaidiner, Di
rector of the Division of Public
Health Nursing, Territorial De
partment of Health, who has re
turned to Juneau headquarters
after a field trip of nearly a
month in the westward area
She visited Kodiak, Seldovia,
Homer and Anchorage.
Miss Gardiner said as a result
of the survey she has just com
pleted and field trips made to
other districts of the Territory
since she assumed her office last
May, she now has a keener ap
preciation of the health needs in
the more isolated areas in Alas
ka, and a better understanding
©f the problems which make
nursing service a challenge in
any community.
At Kodiak Miss Gardiner con
ferred with Miss Marion Curtis,
public health nurse, and met a
number of community leaders
who take an active interest in
health work. Miss Gardiner was
warm in her praise of the health
program being carried out by
Miss Curtiss, who, she said, is
doing commendable work That
the health work carried on by
Miss Curtiss is deeply appreci
ated by the people of Kodiak
was evidenced by the many ex
pressioas of esteem shown
throughout the community, Miss
Gardiner said.
In Homer and Seldovia, Miss
Gardiner found the people of
these communities interested in
health work and anxious that a
health service be extended to
their districts The nursing ser
vice was diocontinued last Jan
uary due to the resignation of
Miss Florence Woods
An interest in civic matters is
apparent among the people of
Homer according to the health
department official, and she met
with most agreeable cooperation.
The town is expanding, she said,
and the cold storage plant build
ing has recently been completed
by Mr W. B. Benson. It is ex
pected the plant will soon be in
operation when the final ma
chinery parts have been in
sta led.

PART OF A SOLDIER'S LETTER
“Winning a war is hard on all of us.
“It is too bad you are being paid so little for
working so hard. I get only a fraction of your
pay so I understand. You work long hours and
so do I. So I understand.
“But—during these hours I get shot at. Do you
understand?’’
