Bonnie Moore is spending'her annual leave
visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Moore, and friends in the Valley. She
has been employed the past year at the
Alaska Air Depot at Llmendorf Field. She
plans to leave June 4th for Fairbanks
where she will be employed at Ladd Field.
Miss Lois Hemmens and Miss Bernice'^inters
left for the States Friday ..evening. Miss
Heamens came to the Valley last fall and
was one of the nurses in the Matanuska
Valley Hospital, Miss T7inters arrived
here in January and was Office Nurse at
the Hospital. Both Miss Hemmens and Miss
Winters were living in rooms over the
Hospital at the time of the fire. They
lost their clothes, some money and other
possessions in the fire.
Mr. and Mrs, Harold Eddy and Mr. and Mrs.
S.S. Moore, employees of tho Hatanuska
Valley Hospital, lost all of their clothes
and many other possessions when the Hos-‘
pital was burned to tho ground last week.
Mrs. Carl'Wilson and children, Gwen,Rocky,
and Terry, will leave for Fairbanks by
plane this coming Friday where they will
join Mr. Wilson,
Mrs, Wilson'has boon staying with her
mother, Mrs. Heller, until their house
was vacated so'’that they could move into
it. She has also been able to take care
of her mother during the latter's conva
lescence from her recent operation.
Tho Editor of the Valley Settler has been
partially "laid up" again, but the Valley
Settler will come off tho press just tho
same. Jean Emery has been enlisted to
help out. •
Everyone'fools bad about the loss of the
Hospital, but there arc so many things
that we find for which to be thankful.
The. wind,which had been blowing a gale
through Palmer for more than a weak, had
died down and did not come up again until
the fire was practically out. The fire
broke out before people were tn bod and
thus no lives were lost. It would have
been much worse had this happened in the
winter. So while wo regret the loss of
the Hospital, we are thankful that sur
rounding conditions at'the time of the
fire wore in our favor.

to be nosr Bobby while he'was in the Hos
pital with his broken leg. She was stay
