.The . habits of
nearly seven years of
daily taking care of •
the chores of the*
U. S. Commissioner’s
job in Seldovia are
| . so much a part of G.
M. Chambers’ life,
that a small thing
like a month’s ill
neeq and confinement
to Seldovia hospital
haven’t made much di
fference to him.
Mr. Chambers goes
■ • right on doing the
work of the Commis
sioner’s office from
his hospital bedside.
City clerk R. M. Mc
Nealy has helped a
lot by filling in
' necessary papers and
bringing them up for
signature.

thing thvat has meant
mere to some Ssidev
iates than anything
else during the past
month, has been Mr.
ChambersT willingness
* to go right on per

room.
The Comrni s sior.er'
is now the only man
in, Seldovia qualified,
to perform that task.
Creorge Tobelmann,
missionary, prefers
^not to conduct mar
riage services, and
Merrill Smith, itin
erant Seventh Lay ad
ventist pastor, has
been away from the
city for the past
month.
Ho w ever in the
momth since Mr. C ham
bers has been ill,
three Seldovia coup
les have climbed the
hospital ..hill to be
united in marriage.
The first couple,
and first bride and
groom of i?47 in Sel
covia, were Marie Ha
lvorsen and Philip
Bickford. Then just a
week and a day later,
Mrs. V/innie Young and
Frank Raby took their
vows at Mr. Chambers*
bedside. And last
week Barbara Nyman
and Dave Hanson were
married by the Com
missi oner.
