Hospital Pay
Is Hiked
A new pay schedule for
hospital employes was approved
at last Friday’s meeting of the
board of directors of the Valley
Hospital Association. The sched
ule, recommended by the hos
pital manager, Miss Ethel Dale,
provides for a wage increase for
members of the nursing staff.
The beginning salary for gen
eral duty nurses is to be $195 a
month, with a $5 increase to be
come due at the end of six
months of duty. Each nurse is to
receive 10 days annual sick leave
and free hospitalization, except
when large amounts of expensive
drugs are necessary.
Each hospital employe is to re
ceive two weeks annual vacation
with pay, and each full-time em
ploye who stays a year is to be
given return transportation to
the states.
The new salary schedule was
made retroactive to March 1.

Frankie Loses
Fight For Life
Frankie is dead. After nine
weeks of shivering pneumonia,
the tiny monkey, pet of Father
James Snead of St. Michael’s
church, breathed his last in the
early morning hours on April 2. |
Frankie had battled determin
edly for life during the long win
ter weeks of cold, only to suc
cumb as spring began to bring
the warmth he so desperately
needed. He was aided in his long
fight by both *r. E. F. Graves,
Valley veterinarian, and Dr. Har
old Lamberton, local physician.
He had been prepared for
Alaskan winters early last fall,
when Father Snead fashioned a j
tiny monkey parka of fur for his
pet. But it was still not enough to
protect the tropical wanderer
from a cold Valley winter.
Frankie was known and loved [
by nearly every child in the Val
ley. He had been featured in two
magazine articles wi'itten about
Palmer, and had been visited on
several occasions by excursions
from Palmer classrooms.
He made many children happy.
He will be missed, both by them
and by Father Snead and mem
bers of his household.
