Press Reconstruction In Nome
(Continued From Page Two)
J. D HARLAN, Manager of the Hammon Consoli
dated Goldfields of Nome, says: “Following the day
after the fire, Governor Troy secured fifty thousand dol
lars from the Federal Emergency Relief Administra
tion. He sent the money into Nome immediately an '
directed a gr: un of Nome citizens to use it lor Rebel
and Rehabilitation. In less than two weeks, the Alask;
Road Commission, assisted by all available workmen
had cleared the devasl; ted area and city business dis
trict had been remapped and construction begun by
merchants, the Red Cross and others. Before Bering
Sea had frozen over and the snow came, Nome was
again a city and able to carry on. I never again expect
to see such a marvelous feat performed under like cir
cumstances.”__
Roosevelt Talks
Nation’s Relief
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17—Pres
ident Roosevelt told the annual
meeting of “Mobilization for
Human Needs,” today, that the
national income would be double
what it was at the low point of
•depression, and that “confidence
has returned to the great masses
of our people.”
He several times referred to
“returning prosperity,” and on
that thesis built the argument
•that private relief organizations
should expect in a larger meas
ure private aid and that every
individual has therefore a great
er obligation to aid relief and
•distress in their own communi
ties."

Others in the Region Tributary
to Nome:
In the past year receipts of the
Maynard Columbus Hospital at
Nome decreased to such an ex
: i.t that it did not seem possible
to carry on without asking the
Board of Home Missions cf the
Methodist Church for financial
support in addition to that which
has been given regularly for
many years.
Having too much pride to do
this and realizing what it would
mean to Nome and vicinity to be
without a hospital, temporary ar
rangements were made by Miss
Emily Morgan to carry on, but
now the time has come when
definite and substantial support
needed equipment and assurance
must be given in order to provide
of operating funds for such hos
pital facilities as this district re
quires and can afford.
Nome and vicinity includes
every town, operating camp, or
other industry from which pat
ients are liable to be sent to
Nome for hospitalization. All
must become conscious of the ne
cessity of having a good hospital
and must contribute to its sup
port accordingly.
Dr. Thomas Morcom, physician
and surgeon, a long time resident
of Seattle and thoroughly skilled
in his profession and the organ
ization and management of hos
pitals, has come to Nome to take
care of the medical requirements
of this region. After a careful
study of the field and the Mcy
nard Columbus Hospital and af
ter consulting many representa
tive citizens. Dr. Morccm sees the
need of additional equipment for,
and support of, the hospital and
has asked to have an advisory
board appointed to cooperatewith
and advise him in such matters.
In order to get a part of the
needed equipment on the last
sailing to Nome this season it is
necessary that a substantial fund

be rjised immediately and there
seems to be no doubt about its
success. Neither is there any
d ibt about the money being
pr perly used.
TO EMPLOYERS
Setion 2 of House 15.11 8 of the
li ■") Session Laws of Alaska, re
la: ng to c impensation of injured
ei iployees, provides as follows:
“And in addition to the com
pensation for injured employ
ees in this Act otherwise pro
vided. the employer shall
furnish to and fur ea< h in
jured employee such r 'amen
ably necessary medical, sur
gical and hospital treatment,
including necessary transpor
tation (o and from hospitals,
as may be required by reason
of the injury, for a period not
exceeding one year from and
after the date of injury to any
such employee.”
This section makes it impera
j tive that there be a hospital at
Nome, and in order to enable in
jured employees to be properly
cared for and restored to good
condition in a reasonable time it
is necessary that a hospital be
properly equipped and that med
ical service be skillful and ade
quate.
Just considering it front a busi
ness standpoint it will be a good
investment for all employers to
financially support such an insti
tution. It has been suggested
that employers of workmen im
mediately subscribe in proportion
to the size of their forces and
benefits to be gained from up-to
date hospital and medical servi
ces. A financial committee has
been appointed by the board of
advisors and will solicit employ
ers accordingly.
To Others of Nome and Vicinity
Any of us may have to have
hospitalization for ourselves or
members of our families. We
would like to know that we are
going to have good care, and we
would be ashamed to think that
we were the beneficiaries of sup
porters of Missions as long as we
I could alTord to pay for the ser
vice. All will be given a chance
to subscribe to the fund in pro
portion to their interests in the
matter and ability to pay.
Future plans will be announc
ed later, and in the meantime all
subscriptions should be address
ed to the Maynard Columbus
Hospital.
