X-RAY EXPERT
JOINS VALLEY
HOSPITAL STAFF
A skilled X-Ray technician has
been added to the staff of the
Valley hospital in Palmer.
' She is Miss Edith Eggleston, of
Enid, Okla., a member of the Ok
lahoma State and American X
Ray Societies.
She came to Palmer, she said,
because she felt the need of mis
sionary medical nursing and care
in a hospital short in adequate
housing, equipment and staffing
in a new and rapidly growing
community. She is living tem
porarily at Matanuska Valley
lodge, where she hopes to remain
because of its convenience to the
hospital where she is on 24-hour
call.
SINGERS SIGNING
FOR SUMMER OPERA
Plans for a community concert
and summer operetta are going
steadily ahead, Bill Remple, or
ganizer and director said today.
Although some of the vocalists
are outside on vacation, rehear
sals will start immediately upon
their return, Remple said. A few
singing spots yet are open for
trained or untrained voices, if
if they will register with him at
once.
Meanwhile musical scores for
several popular operas have been
ordered and the choice of produc
tion will be made when full quota
of singing voices have signed up.

Savage of Minneapolis. She came

newcomers, she’s seeking a living
spot.
