Something New Added
At Valley Hospital
With the patient shuffle at the
Valley hospital complete, now
that the nurses’ quarters have be
come another hospital ward,
enough room has seen squeezed
out to create an office and wait
ing room.
The office, where Miss Ethel
ale. hospital manager has estab
lished headquarters, is located on
the first floor, just to the right
of the stairway leading to the
basement. The change does much
to add that "new look” to the
not-so-new layout of the Valley
hospital.

Severns Plan
New Business
In Palmer
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Severns
are visiting the Valley this week,
while Mr. Severns inspects Pal
mer for a suitable location for
the cabinet shop and small sash
and door establishment he hopes
to open here. Mr. Severns has
been offered several sites for the
new business.
The couple are former Anchor
age and Fairbanks residents, but
have recently returned from an
extended visit Outside. While
visiting in the middle west, Mr.
Severns purchased a panel truck
in which he loaded the equip
ment necessary to his new busi
ness venture. The Severns then
returned to the territory by way
of the Alaska highway.
Mr. Severns expressed confi
dence in the future of Palmer
and the Matanuska Valley. He
said he had extensive plans for
further business developments
here, as population begins to in
crease.
Looking Inside
From Outside
New gerterals. millions of dol
lars for roads, hospitals and
communications, and a six-party
Western states conference to dis£
cuss plans for development of
the Territory, all have brought
Alaska back into the State-side
limelight again recently.
Brig. Gen. Stanley L. Scott is
Alaska's newest star - bearer.
He's named the commanding
general of the Army and will
work with teammates Lt Gen.
Nathan F. Twining, head of the
joint command, and Scott’s im
mediate superior, and Maj. Gen.
Joseph Atkinson, air force head
in the territory. Rear Adm. F. A.
Daubin will carry the Navy’s
share of defense work.
In line with the plan to de
velop Alaska, President Harry
Truman last week asked for $31,
000.000 for improvement of
transportation. SI.804.000 for
work of the Alaska Communion**
tion System, and more than $7,
000.000 for Indian schools and
hospitals in the Territory.
With government planning
bringing the Territory’s name
into headlines. Chamber of Com
merce delegates from Oregon,
Washington, California, Utah,
Idaho and Montana have under
taken some independent p!an-»
ning of their own for territorial
development. The delegates are
meeting in Portland this week
to discuss new plans for build
ing the territory. A statement
from a delegation of three
Alaskan territories will be pre
sented to the group.
