Miss Davis Leaves
Valley Hospital
Miss Edna Davis, manager at
the Valley Hospital, left the Val
ley Hospital last Friday, Jack
Newcomb, president of the Valley
Hospital Association, announced
today. Miss Davis’ resignation
was to have been effective June
15, but she consented to remain
^n additional two weeks in the
hope that the assigned adminis
trator being recruited by the
Presbyterian national board of
missions would arrive here in
that time.
However the assignment has
not yet been made. Mr. New
comb said it probably will take
some time to contact a qualified
administrator for the Valley in
stitution, since she will come to
Palmer on a three-year contract.
Replacing Mrs. Davis as a tem
porary manager, beginning July
1, was Mrs. John Weaver. Mrs.
Weaver, who has been a Valley
resident for the past year, is a
former Army nurse. She has a
wide background of hospital ad
ministrative work, as well.
Miss Davis plans to visit in Alas
ka for several weeks. She will
spend some time with a niece at
Sutton, and possibly will see Fair
banks before she goes Outside.
-She expects to return to Provi
dence, R. I., where she will re
sume nursing duties in the hos
pital she left to come to Alaska.

Alaska to Be
Seven Times More
; Power-full in I960
7 Alaska will be using seven
r times as much power in 1960 as it
1 did in 1947, the Federal Power
. Commission estimated in a re
3 cently published report. The
j Commission based its estimate on
the assumption of development
of a pulp industry in southeast
- ern Alaska, development of the
- Arctic oil fields, and continuation
of present military activity in
; Alaska.
The report says that the gen
’ erating capacity of the territory’s
' non-military plants will have to
’ be increased from 71,000 kilo
' watts to 173,000 kilowatts, to meet
. the estimated demand.
, Anchorage leads the list of es
- timated demands in 1960, with a
total of 222,000,000 kilowatts. In
1947, Anchorage was producing
s 32 percent of the power require
' ments of the entire territory.
; The FPC report further shows
that in 1947, 66 percent of the
generating plants were owned
and operated by industries, for
their own use.
PLAN TRIP TO KENAI
Parker Lester, local Extension
Service agent, and Miss Marjorie
Sheridan, home demonstration
worker from the Anchorage of

Kodiak Marines, Sailors
Prepare to Enjoy
An Indoor Life
Resigned to the fact that Ko
diak weather is not all it might
be at times, Marine and Navy en
listed men stationed on the island
have set to work to build a club
house for indoor fun. The Marine
club is completed, but is now be
ing improved. The building
perches atop a 100-foot-high pin
nacle of rock with a sweeping
view of both mountains and sea.
The Navy’s club house is still
under construction. It is being
built by volunteer teams which
already have erected most of the
outer framework. This club will
have a dance floor, a game room,
a lounge and a snack bar.
