The heating system was chang
ed from coal to oil some time
ago and last year the nurses’
residence, formerly heated from
the hospital plant, was cut off
in an effort to reduce expense
and allow better heating facili
ties for the hospital. The nurses
residence now has its own heat
ing system.
The storage room just off the
furnace room contains many
boxes of items such as sheets,
pillow cases, blankets, and so on.
These are donations from Meth
odist organizations in the States,
and come from many different
places. It is an interesting fact
that the local hospital has not
had to purchase any of these
items for a long time, so gen
erous have been the donations.

sence of Norine Reed, who has
gone Outside for a short trip.
A special committee for draw

old installation and re-wiring
the entire floor as the work of
remodeling progresses. This is
a very important feature of the
project as it has been recognized
that the antiquated electrical
circuits in the building have not
been safe for many years and the
condition has been of grave con
cern to the hospital administra
tion as well as city authorities.
The inspection group was com
post'd of former mayor Eugene
Lanier. Mayor Russell Painter,
Councilmen Perry Stockton,
Gus Werner, John Rose and Gus
Johnson: Hospital Board chair
man George Green; and press
representatives. Councilmen Os
car Watsjold and C. E. Johnson
were unable to attend.
Miss Ruth Murrell was the
very gracious hostess to the
group at lunch in the basement
dining room. Conversation at
the table revealed interesting
facts:
Miss Helen Priebe, Seward
Sanatorium dietician, also serves
in that capacity for the hospital;

Miss Murrell in.ortr. >d the
group that as a r« ub of last
year's inspection by U.S. De
partment of Ilcal'h representa
tives, the Seward General Hos
pital can boast the best kept
charts in the Territory.
A pin-pointed map in the main
hallway disclosed the fact that
the Seward hospital at present
has patients from as far away as
Uuga.
Cost of the current repair and
remodeling program in the City
owned building is being borne
by the Woman’s Division of
Christian Service of the Metho
dist Church with some financial
assistance from the S e w a r d
Clinic. They are to be commend
ed for their diligent efforts to
make and keep the Seward Gen
eral Hospital an institution that
can boost the confidence of the
people of Seward, the Kenai
Peninsula, and any others who
wish to take advantage of the
facilities it offers.
