Cordova Also Plans
Hood-Typing Project
Cordova has seen the wisdom
in Dr. C. C. Bailey’s Kiwanis
Club sponsored blood-typing pro
gram, an dplans a similar pro
gram there for shortly after
the first of the.jrear. The Cor
dova project is sponsored by the
Business and Professional Wo
men’s Club there.
Valley-ites may be thankful
they could participate in the lo
cal program rather than the Cor
dova project.
For what local residtnts got
without cost, Cordovans must
pay 20 cents each. Despite that
fact, the sponsoring club is op
timistically expecting a majority
of the city’s residents to support
the program.

Cordova Elks Give
Surgery Lamp
To City Hospital
Cordova’s Elks made an early
Christmas gift to that communi
ty’s hospital recently. The lodge
gave a modern surgery lamp to
the institution. Of particular in

cities, is the feature of the lamp
which permits it to run on its
own storage batteries should
there be a failure of local power.
A resumption of power automat

age batteries, so that surgical
light is always assured.
The lamp’s cost, including
transportation charges, amounted
to only $465.

S. E. Alaska At Present
There’s just not enough money
to attempt further military de
velopment of southeastern Alas
ka at this time, Lt. Gen Nathan
F. Twining told a group of Ju
neau-ites at a recent meeting
there. Military and governmen
tal men in key positions in Alas
ka met in secret session at the
capital city early this month, to
work out a correlated program of
activities and prevent duplica
tion of effort.
Mayor Waino Hendrickson of
Juneau and Robert Ellis of the
Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce
appeared before the group to re
quest expansion for their areas.
“First things must come first,”
General Twining said, according
to a report in the Alaska Daily
Empire, published at Juneau.
“We must pa yattention to key
spots now — the number one
points. Things will happen here
eventually, but the dollar won’t
stretch now. We’re not doing too
well in locations we are working
on now.”
Hendrickson had asked for
support for harbor improvements,
dredging operations and high
ways. Ellis wanted increased air
facilities, stronger steamship
service and a stronger naval re
serve program.
