Our two physicians and one
dentist registered for the draft
in compliance with requirements
of Selective Service regulations.
This raises a feeling of deep
concern in my mind. Aware as
we are that the Seward hospital
and two Seward physicians, one
! Seward dentist are the ONLY
representatives of their profes
sion to serve the entire Kenai
Peninsula, what would happen
if one of them should be with
drawn for military service?
It is quite likely that this
area will not be deprived of
medical services IF Selective
Service is aware of the increase
in population. Judging from past
performances o f government
agencies, however, it is also
quite possible that the latest cen
sus figures have not been con
sulted, and this area will be
crippled by the loss of one of
our doctors.
There is no one in this coun
try or any other who wishes
to deprive the boys overseas of
all the attention either due them
or necessary to their welfare.
But the home front is mighty
important too, and must not be
allowed to be depleted through
disease.
It has been estimated that one
general practitioner can take
care of 1500 population—except
in epidemic regions. With an
immediate population of over
2600 in the Seward district and
the rest of the Peninsula to take
care of. there is a crying need
for more physicians rather than
fewer.
We must watch, then, for any
move to draft either of the local
medical men from this area and
be prepared to protest such a
move, should it appear.

Two Peninsula babies were]
born in Seward General Hospital'

born Saturday, October 14. The
little boy, Joseph Ralph, weigh
ed 8 pounds and 11 ounces.
A son was born to Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Inglima of Sel
dovia, Friday, the 13th. This
young man was named Marty
Lewis.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Prouty
of Ninilchik were blessed with
a little daughter on October 12.
They named her Linda May. She

Usually the people who dis
cuss public problems most, know
the least about them.
They used to say a penny
saved is a penny earned—but
it’s hardly worth the trouble
nowadays.
Diplomacy has been defined!
as the art of cutting another
man’s throat without using a
knife.
Always remember the driver
in the car back of you can’t
read your mind—signal your i
intentions. i
