Many Valley-ites
See Air Show
At Elmendorf
Many Valley residents drove
to Anchorage last Sunday to at
tend the air show at Elmendorf
Field. The event, a joint military
civilian display, was sponsored
by the Anchorage Junior Cham

ment, including jet planes and
the newest in flight instruments,
entertained a throng of visitors
all afternoon. Show officials esti
mated that at least 8,000 persons
watched the air contests and in
spected the displays in the hang
ars.
Gusty winds caused the can
cellation of some events, includ
ing the parachute jumping dem
onstration, but much of the pro
gram was run off without
change.

spent the afternoon at Elmen
dorf Field were:
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Totten and
children, Mr. and Mrs. Emil

Hospital Board
Made Wise Move,
Says Dr. Hoehn
Dr. David Hoehn, who with
his wife Dr. Bernice Andrews,
were physicians in the Valley
about a year ago, this week
wrote a word of encouragement
and advice concerning the Val
ley’s hospital plans.
Dr. Hoehn said, in his opinion,
the Matanuska Valley could nev
er have a suitable hospital until
Federal funds could be obtained
to finance its construction. He
said he hoped that these funds
would be forthcoming within
another year, and that the pres
ent board would show good judg
ment in attempting to rehabili
tate the temporary quarters for
another year.
The former physician ex
pressed his regret in the loss of
Palmer’s drug store. He remind
ed Valley folks that the month
of May has been a bugaboo fo
the doctors of Palmer for the
past three years. Three years
ago he was a victim of pneu
monia and Dr. Andrews a broken
arm. Two years ago the Valley
lost its hospital by fire. This May,
fire destroyed the offices of Dr.
R. E. Garrett in the Wright Bldg.
Dr. Hoehn wrote that he and
Dr. Andrews were both in good
health, but both miss Alaska.
They offered their help, if Val
ley folks are ever in need of
any assistance they can give.
Temporary Annex
To Hospital
Is Now In Use
Miss Ethel Dale, hospital man
ager, and Dr. R. E. Garrett, Val
ley physician, opened the doors
of their temporary office quar
ters in the Quonset hut next to
the hospital, on Monday after
noon of this week.
All hospital visitors and pa
tients of Dr. Garrett are re
quested to enter the building at
the side doorway next to the hos
pital. The doorway at the end of
the Quonset gives entrance to
Dr. Garret’s private office.
Patients entering the door
come into the joint reception
room of the doctor and hospital
manager. Miss Dale’s office is
located to the right of this room,
Miss Bonnie Moore, office secre
tary, works in a small office just
beyond, and Dr. Garrett’s office
and examining roms lie to the
left.
The Quonset is joined to the
hospital by a covered walk at the
rear, so that patients may go
from the office of the doctor to
the hospital without going out
side.
TO LEAVE SOON
Rev. and Mrs. George Sav
chenko and two children hope to
leave Palmer for the states this
week. They are awaiting word
that Reverend Savchenko’s re
placement, Rev. J. H. Davis of
Worcester, Mass., is en route
over the Alaska Highway, before
taking their departure.
