Last week the Alaska Nurses
Association held a convention in
Anchorage. Nurses from all Al
aska, as well as the military
forces, were present.
To me, the work this organi
zation is accomplishing is aston
ishing. As Alaska is new—so is
the Alaska Nurses Association,
hut they have already gained na
tional recognition through their
quarterly, “The Alaskan Nurses”.
It was awarded honorable men
tion at the American Nurses
Association convention in Chi
cago. At this convention it was
noted that same of the new
“state-side” nursing problems
are ones that Alaskan nurses
have met and solved in unique
ways.
Unfortunately the Anchorage
convention revealed an em&n&r
jnasirtg fact. Palmer is sadly lack
ing support of her district associ
ation and is the only distant
which showed such a lack. I am
a registered nurse and d» not, as
yet, belong to the association so
am just as guilty as anyone. That
J plan to remedy.
The convention brought omit
that each nurse can offer some
thing to the association and re
ceive in return much knowledge
and self-satisfaction. The only
way to help is to join your dist
rict association and A.N.A. Lend
your support, attend meetings
and get acquainted with the
needs. There’s lots to be done. If
you have problems, bring these
too. Contact Mrs. Phyllis Long,
2*ecretary of District No. 6, Palm
er. Let’s support our district and
contribute our par^to the devel
opment of nursing in Alaska.

APPLICATION DENIED
FOR BAR EXAMINATION
Word was recently received
by James Hurley of Palmer that
the Board of Governors of the
Alaska Bar As9ociaion have de
nied his application to take (the
Alaska bar examinations.
The letter stated that the
Board of Governors thoroughly
considered whether he was eligi
ble to take the bar examination.
Although the previous Board of
Law examiners gave Hurley such
authority, the Board of Gover
nors felt compelled to deny the
application because they are of
the opinion the law does not per
mit study in a branch law office
where the attorney and student
are not together daily.
Both the present and former
Board have denied applications
to study in this manner, the let
ter concluded.
