DRIVE FOR ORTHOPEDIC
HOSPITAL
The Orthopedic Hospital drive'
will be sponsored in Nome this j
year by the Order of Eastern |
Stars. A total of 44 Alaska chil- j
dren have been treated this year j
at the orthopedic hospital. For
.
these children 4,166 days of hos- i
pital care were provided. 12 beds
out of the 125 beds in the hospi- |
tal were devoted to Alaskan chil- !
I
dren and it is right and just that
each community should share in
the annual penny drive. The hos
! pital records show that the long
' est period any child has been in
the hospital is the case of a little
Seward girl who has been there
since 1939 and will be released,
I *
completely cured of burns in a
few months. The drive will soon
start, please do your share.
