Comments recorded were: “Good
work,” “It’s beautiful,” “Very
nice," “Wonderful,” “A big job
well done,” “Congratulations on
a wonderful accomplishment,”
“A dream come true,” and many
more.
“Without the help of the entire
Kenai Community and surround
ing area, this achievement would
have been impossible,” a member
of the Hoard of Trustees of the
Kenai Community Clinic, Inc.
said. “The Kenai community
thanks you each and everyone.”
Dedication of the new building
took place six months to the day
after election of the board of
trustees. Operation of the clinic
has already begun with Dr. A.
W. Barr, formerly of Houston,
Texas, as chief of staff.
Cooperative efforts of people
in the community dedicated to a
public interest received outspok
en admiration from the honored
guest, Senator Bartlett, when he
spoke at the luncheon prior to the
dedication ceremony. Also present
were officers of the Kenai Com
munity Clinic, Inc., the Kenai
City Council, the Kenai Chamber
of Commerce Board of Directors
and other residents of Kenai.
James Rose, president of the
clinic organization, described par
ticipants and their contributions
in the endeavor.
Rose singled out Mrs. M.
Sims and Mrs. Homer Swires for
special recognition of their expe

participants and contributors weie
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Steele, Cheney
Construction Co., Ira English s

services, Leroy Knab’s contribu

German on plumbing labor.
Receiving thanks for the site
was Morris Killen. donor of the
land on which the Clinic is situ
ated. Recognition was accorded to
the many people donating count
less hours of their own time and
money for the achievement of the
construction of the structure.
Senator Bartlett praised the
clinic building and was even more
emphatic in his admiration of the
display of cooperative communi
ty effort which produced such a
facility.
“It would not have been pos
sible to even begin building the
clinic without donation of carpen
ters, plumbers, sheet metal work
ers, equipment operators, labor
ers, electricians, personnel from
Wildwood Station and the many
others who gave their labor and
effort to this fine building,”

mented.
