Captain Ed “Healing Hand”
Nalband, C.O. of The 202nd Sta
tion Hospital at the Post, came to
Nome trom Boston, Mass., via
Baker General Hospital and Fort
Snelling, Minn.
The dark-haired, athletic “Doc”
;s a swell bowler and one of the
best players on the Officers’ bas
ket-ball team.
Ed has been fighing the “battle
of Nome” for the past year, and
has yet to receive his first combat
star, although he certainly has
earned one. His work is combat
ing sickness and stamping out dis
ease on and around the post, and
his untiring efforts with the resi
dents of Nome have earned him
the friendship and admiraiton of
all.
On January 14, 1946. Major Al
fred H. Reinbothe arrived on the
post from his former station in
California. Colonel Waters assign
ed him as his Executive and Pub
lic Relations Officer. This is the
second northern assignment for
him, the first being Reykjavik,
Iceland. Shortly after Pearl Har
bor he left for Iceland with a bat
talion of Coast Artillery, where
they relieved the British Royal
Artillery and coordinated the con
trol of the surrounding waters
with the British Royal Navy
[against enemy submarine opera
: tions.
Major Reinbothe entered the
| Army with the 245th Coast Artil
j lery Regiment. New Vork Nation
al Guard, which was stationed on
Sandy Hook, guarding New York
harbor until the beginning of 1941.

CAT BECOMES
MOVIE CRITIC
HAYS, Kan., I/P)—A pink tom
cat who came to dinner at#a local
movie house three years ago is
now developing a reputation as
a critic of Hollywood’s super
colossal productions.
For a while Cat < that’s his only
name so far) was kept busy get
ting the mouse problem under
control. Then as time began to
hang heavy, Cat disclosed his,
critical proclivities.
Now, according to Charles Reed
the manager, Cat has developed j
the practice of sitting calmly in 1
the rear of the auditorium as the
crowd comes in for a show. As
soon as the first scene flashes on
the screen, the tom deliberately
strolls down the aisle, tail erect,
and mounts the steps at one side
of the stage and settles on his
haunches.
If the movie pleases him. he re
mains for the show, but if the
presentation palls on his feline
sensibilities, Cat gets up and, tail
waving like an admonishing fin
40", walks across the stage, down
the steps on the other side and
out into *hc lobby where he curls
up for a nap.
