or marts of it used in.personal letters
rritten by Valley residents. The letter
nas rassed out at the nesting, ..other
oo-ies are available from A1-Hagens.
The first action be be taken, ho’-cver, ras
in urging the change in a phrase of the
bill designating the location of the pro
posed A’*S Vosnitnl. Requests are being
sent to various members of Congress and
many others asking that the phrase be
changed to read "Anchorare or the Vatan
uska Valley Area”.
The C. of C. has already taken stens to
secure three 10-acre locations n^fcthich
-ould be "donated to the Alaska T'ative - -
Service for hospital construction. Tro
of these plots are adjacent to Palmer
mater and se-er lines and the third 'is
located on»a lake in the ""asilla area.
The location of the hosnital here mould
furnish the Valley a ready r..-.H:et for
their produce. This "alley produces 76 v
of the fresh vegetables^ and milk produced
in Alaska.
It mould give employment to the never
farmers‘and homesteaders, as veil. Such
a hospital •••ould undoubtedly nrove help
ful in the development of the nem home
stead area recently o-ygned near ’"asilia.
3rgloynent' and markets mould also help
the ex-service men locating here.
Climatic conditions in the Valley are very
favorable, "ith an average temperature of
IS above zero in the •--inter and a summer
average,of 56 above. Cur 'Gather far
exceeds that of Anchorage in comparison
of •’lear days in the tmo areaC,
”’e feel that Anchorage actually -ould ben
efit through location of the hosnital in
the ’"allejr. That c'ity cannot survive as
the Industrial center it hones to become •
if its agricultural hinterland, is not'
develoned. Any development in the, I'atan
uska Valley rill be of direct benefit to
Anchorage, rhere many Valley dollars are
spent. ■ 1 :
