Jesse Lee Children
Receive ACCA Help
Four children from the Jesse Lee
Home received dental care through
arrangements made by the Seward
chapter of the ACCA. The child
ren were taken to Anchorage by
Mr. Don Lee of the home. Dr.
Lee McKinley provided free den
tal care for the children. The
total cost involved was only $65
which paid for their board for a
four day period in Anchorage.
This is an example of the type
of services our local chapter of
j ACCA provides for our cmmunity.
We urge public support of this
I worthy organization through the
purchase of ACCA Christmas
cards and through active interest
in the group.
Official Birth Records
Available to Parents
Notifications have been received
from Juneau on births registered
with the Bureau of Vital Statis
tics for the month of September.
Parents of new babies should call
at the Health Center to pick up
their certificates. A number of
such papers for babies born prior
to September have not been called
for. Parents are again reminded
that it is becoming more and more
important for everyone to be in
the possession of an official hirth
certificate. Certificates issued by
the hospital in which the birth
occurred, are not to be considered
proof that the birth was registered
with the Bureau of Vital Statistics.
AT THE SAN
By BETTY NELSON
A handsome couple eraer g e d
from ward five at the San last
week and flew away to their
homes. They were Delores Albert,
age eight, whose destination was
Angoon Alaska and Gary John,
about the same age who was head
ed for Fairbanks. Delores had
new dusty pink snow pants, coat
and bonnet with white boots and
mittens to complete her ensemble
I for going away, and Gary, who was
to accompany her only as far as
Anchorage, was all fixed up with
warm jeans, alpaca lined jacket
and cap. new boots and mittens for
the trip. Many people become In
volved when a patient is discharg
ed, especially if the patient is a
child. Nurses, doctors, social
workers, school teachers,—every
body—is anxious that the child
goes to a home where he will be
able to stay well, and that he goes
prepared in every way to resume
his place in the family.
Willie Fitka was also discharg
ed last week. Mr. Fitka's discharge
was dated to coincide with that
of, his wife in ANS Hospital, Mt.
Rdp'PfMiinh^ Thf» ivoro tn
| meet in Anchorage and then go
! on to Marshall, Alaska.
Helen Munson was lucky last
week too. She was notified on
Saturday that, not only was she
ready, physically, to be released,
but her family had been able to
make arrangements so she could
come home and continue to have
rest periods and take good care of
herself; so she was on the pas
senger list Sunday morning.
Mrs. Helen Hiler. central supply
aide at the San who is convalesc- J
ing after a bout with polio, left via i
plane last week to spend some
, lime with her son and family in
1 San Francisco. She has taken a ,
three months leave of absence and
expects to return to work after
that time. We miss her smile at
the central supply window at the J
San and hope her recovery is quick
an^ complete.

ters about her work, it can certain
ly be recognized that she approach
es her duties as a teacher with
the same sympathetic understand

This column has been proud to
announce several new citizens, afl
of them rather directly connected
with the Sanatorium. We have
one more to announce who is in
directly connected with the San.
He is directly connected with the
U.S. Army in Seward; his wife,
Rea, is an employee at the San
and so we claim rather shirt-tail
rights. He is Pvt. Michael Troian.
Mike was born and received sec
ondary education in Paris, France.
He came to this country with a
scholarship grant to get his Bach
elor of Science degree from the
University of Denver and later he
received his Masters Degree in
Business Administration at Col
umbia University. It was about
this time that Mike met Bea at a
1 ooiviuc uuumn ciiiu utJUiu
ed he'd stay in the U.S.
So lie married the girl, enlisted
in the Army, and in five years be
came a U.S. citizen in the District
Court at Anchorage, on Veteran's
Day, November 11, 1954.
John Hardcastle. Director o f
adult Education at the Seward
Sanatorium, and his wife, Lee, are
both victims of polio. Mrs. Hard
I castle is in Seward General Hos
i pital and John is confined at home,
| where he can keep an eye on son
Peter, age five. Neighbors on the
Nash Road are helping where they
can, and other teachers at the San
are taking John's pupils in their
classes.

Another smile missed at the
morning coffee hour at the San
atorium belongs to Agnes Harp.
Agnes is also at Seward General
Hospital and is now out of the
isolation ward, but is still receiv
ing hot pack treatment. We won
der how many realize the service
which the Volunteer Ambulance
Corps are doing in connection with
the polio outbreak? Besides caring
for their regular duties as ambul
| ance drivers and attendants, they
i are called to the hospital to move
I the polio patients from the isola
; tion ward which is in the basement
to the rooms on first floor. It is a
tribute to their volunteer services
and a definite indication of the
need for a new and convenient
hospital that they serve this pur
pose.

Sometime when your reporter is
"hard put" for news, he will report
on the local Bridge tournaments.
There is some little competition,
at present, for top honors, but
since there is nothing decisive to
report, merely a few claims, we
can wait for that item.

Mrs. William C. Erwin. The pro
gram consisted of a panel- dis
cussion on the proposed Equal
Rights Amendment. Members of
i the panel were all pupils of Mrs.
Lucia McGrath's English Class.
Tucker Jones acted as moderator
.with Audney Horton, Lura Peck, |
Jerry Woods, and Guy Gallaway
participating in the discussion.
They all did remarkably well and
showed that a great deal of effort
had been made in the preparation
of their subject.
Following the business meeting,
refreshments were served by the
hostesses, Mesdames Green and
Stanwyck, and Miss Garrett.
