incoming president ,who made a
presentation of options and deeds
of property which the Rotary Club
is giving to the Women’s Division
of the Methodist Board, for their
new hospital site. The hospital is
now under construction. The club
has been working on the hospital
project for some time before the
fire which claimed the only hos
pital in Nome, and made the site
available to the board.
In accepting the deeds to the si’?,
Dr. Tucker expressed appreciation
and stated that the Rotary Club’s
, interest and the availability of
! the property at the time of the
I disastrous hospital fire, did much
to speeding the plans for construc
tion of the hospital by the mis
i sion society. In return he pres
ented to the club, a large framed
artist’s drawing of the proposed
hospital building. (The picture is
on display in the window of the
Nome Nugget.)
Sir Hubert Wilkins, an honor
ary member of Rotary Interna
tional, who is distinguished for his
work and research in the arctic
and antarctic, expressed his hap
piness at being a guest at the
dinner and for the opportunity
to meet “friends” of the arctic.
He expressed his appreciation
to the many friends he made dur
ing his earlier visits and especially
Lt. Stanley Morgan who had as

Dr. Miller, who came to N< me
from Washington, D.C., has been
| in Alaska for the past three weeks
1 studying environment problems
relating to transportation and
highway travel. He is on the sur

He expressed his opinion that
one has to be in Alaska to un
derstand its problems. “Text book”
learning he said, is only the first
step, and that he has derived val
uable information during his short
! stay.
