WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HELP?
Dr.C.Earl Albrecht here and all our
good friends in Washington,D.C., and
at Juneau are still working and do
ing ^everything 'in their power to
continue the work of the Matanuska
Valley indefinitely.
Last week in Washington, Mrs.Mary
K. Cav/thorneadvisory, nurse of the
Maternal and Child Health Program
and Dr.W.W*Council, Territorial
Health Commissioner, me^with Dr.
Daily of the Maternal and Child
Health Progran of Washington,D.C.,
and Dr.II.M. Colvin in an effort to
thresh out the details for continu
ation of the work am' a plan of'■ fi
nance through the Program.
The1 feeling was ^eneral that the wor]
of this Hospital was now and could .
be even more of general value to*an J
ever-increasing number of ip e op Id.'in ]
this territory. It was decided that
Dr. Council should come to the Hos
pital and discuss requirements with
Dr, Albrecht before any definite
plan was worked out. Accordingly
he left Washington on April Id and
is now on his way here. It is state<
that, the amount of Federal fund?
matched will be determined by Dh.
Council’s recommendations after talk
ing personally with Dr.Albrecht.

Others are working to keep this Kos
pital for you. What are you doing
to help?
The Hospital actually and positively
needs your active support and assis
tance !
HO ONE IS KIDDING YOU
When they tell you that playing is
a good tonic and a cure for a lot
of troubles. It's the truth that
things won't, look so bad, if you car
take an hour or two or a day or two
to relax.
n good definition of "relax” is
tennis. Good hard exercise doing
something that's fun—not slashing
helps ive you the feeling that life
is worth something after all. Just
try chasing a little white ball on
a warn spring day and see if you
feel like "crabbing" after that.
We understand the Girl Scounts have
raised nearly enough, money to put
in some tennis courts, Sone one
had better check on the natter and
see if it isn't possible to make
this community tennis-minded.
And talking about relaxing—seems'
like we should be hearing a let
about the plans for our COLONY DAY.
Understand this is scheduled for
May Id—-one week before school is
outJ'
