Morcoms Will
Leave Tonight
On PAA Plane
Dr. Thomas Morcom, who for
ten years has been the only civ-1
ilian physician on Seward Pen
insula, also superintendant of the
Maynard - Columbus hospital, is
leaving Nome very soon for the
States for a much needed rest.
During these years, Dr. Morcom
has faithfully and efficiently ser
ved Nome and the outlying vil
lages. He was always ready and
willing to go when called. Num
berless treks has he taken, through
windstorms and blizzards, to ad
minister medical aid to both na
tives and whites.
Numerous difficulties and hand- j
icaps confronted him, but left
him undaunted, for he thoroughly
understood the situation and made
the very best of what circum
stances had to offer.
His ability not only lies in the
medical field, but he has had to
be the electrician, mechanic,
plumber, and engineer of the hos
pital as the occasion demanded.
Emergencies have frequently
been whisked in from the out
lying villages or from mining j
camps; with the doctor right on
hand at the time of arrival. Often
messages have come by radio,
C.A.A. and Weather Bureau, from
anxious teachers or nurses in iso
lated villages, requesting inform
ation, which was promptly given
by Dr. Morcom.
Twenty-four nurses have come'
and gone during those ten years, j
Some of them departing at the
most inopportune times, which
made the situation very difficult,
but Dr. Morcom stood by bravely
like the captain of a ship on a
storm tossed sea.
Since his arrival, ten years ago,
the Maynard - Columbus hos
pital has undergone many chan
ges. The first major improvement
was a new X-Ray machine. Other
pieces of equipment were also pur
chased at this time, with funds
raised in the community. A year
later, a modern sterilizer, an auto
clave, was installed. Shortly af
terwards, through the generosity
of the community, it was possible
to purchase new Gatch beds, with
air foam mattresses, for the en
tire hospital. Other pieces of mod
ern equipment, added from time
to time, have helped increase the
efficiency of the hospital service.
Throughout all the busy years,
Dr. Morcom has found time to
participate in the improvement
of the community through the
church and civic organizations.
His time was never his own, but
he did not complain. He has in
fluenced, encouraged and inspired
many lives with his unfailing pa
tience, humble and dynamic per
sonality.
His example of service to others
will long be remembered by those
who knew him socially as well
as professionally. We are sorry
to lose this friend from our midst,
but wish both Dr. and Mrs. Mor
com a most enjoyable and plea
sant trip to the States.
