Hospital Board Still Has
No Answer To Manager Question
me employment of a hospital
manager was the uppermost
problem dealt with by members
of the board of directors of the
Valley Hospital at last week’s
meeting. The board considered
one or two applications offered,
and then concluded the best in
terests of the Valley would be
served if a manager were chosen
from outside its limits.
Mrs. Ruth Callison, present
manager, cannot remain beyond
July 1. The board hopes to be
able to announce her replace
ment within the next two weeks.
It was decided that the board
would seek applications from in
terested church groups or other
organizations devoted to hospital
management. Both the Seventh
Day Adventists and the Presby
terians have expressed mild in
terest in assuming management
of the Valley Hospital, but have
made no definite offer.
Board members also consid
ered changes in regulations gov
erning hospital personnel, but
reached few definite decisions.
Hospital equipment, now stored
at the fair grounds, was reported
ready to be moved to a storage
hut at the hospital site. A com
mittee of workmen completed
the moving on Tuesday evening.
X-ray Technician Martinson
of Seattle is now engaged in the
installation and regulation of
the hospital’s new x-ray unit. He
expects to be in the Valley for
at least a week.
Returns Still Incomplete
The Colony Day financial
statement is being held up,
pending the receipt of funds
from all participating conces
sionaires, it was announced this
week by L. C. Stock, general
chairman. Mr. Stock said returns
from the Valley Volunteer Fire
Association and from the Amer
ican Legion Auxiliary still are
outstanding. He added that he
hoped to have the statement
ready for publication next week.
BILL’S FISHING
Assistant marshall Bill Bou
wens and Bruce Graham spent
several days of the past week
capitalizing on the king salmon
run at the Knik fish camp. How
ever, reports of a good run ap
parently were premature, for
the fishermen returned with
only a scanty catch.
LOCKER KITS ARE AVAILABLE NOW
Still a few lockers for rent. Better hurry.
