gravel road right now, and it will
be better yet when it’s finished in
the spring.”
The engineer denied that the
present road was more dangerous
to drive than the former gravel

and gentler grades, as well as

The engineer, his wife and son,
went to Seward from Palmer.
They planned to stay there until
the holiday season, then go Out

Road work is scheduled to be

tion will be filed at the Valley
Hospital, where it will be avail
able for use of every physician

devoted to community service.
Dr. Bailey also advised that
everyone whose blood was typed

it, as soon as laboratory tests are
completed by the Territorial De
partment of Public Health.

Mrs. Arline Day, Gloria Crou

forts, an efficient, smoothly
working system of testing was
evolved which made it possible
to process an individual in less
than five minutes’ time.
