RED CROSS NOTES
While in the States Miss Fuller had
a talk with Mr. Jonathan Wagner, the
new director of the U. S .Bureau of
Education in Alaska, and with Mr. W.
T. Lopp, Superintendent of Education
in the Territory. They were much in
terested in the work that had been
done among the natives, and are con
sidering a substantial contribution to
ward the salary and expense of the
nurse who we hope will succeed the
Delano Nurse. The Bureau Heads at
Washington are being asked to appro
priate $1000 per year. A sum of $60
per month is already being paid by
the Bureau to the public health nurse
employed by the Red Cross at Wran
gell, so it is quite likely that assis
tance will be given the Seward chapter
where more natives are looked after.
The plan is as follows: The nurse will
work in the Branches during May,
June, July, August and September—
the rest of the year, except one month
for vacation, will be spent in Seward
This arrangement will be much bet
ter for the nurse—and the Seward
people will know definitely, when she
is available.
Red Cross Conference
There is a movement under way to
have a two days’ Red Cross confer
ence in Seward, some time in June, to
which representatives from branches
will be invited . Outside, these meet
ings are called Regional Conferences,
and they have been found very helpful
in making the work of the Red Cross
better understood. Miss Yvete Taake,
a field worker from the Division office
will be here and will be a great help
in making our meeting a success.
Consider Seward Good Chapter
Mr. Wm. Carl Hunt, manager of the
Pacific Division invited Miss Fuller to
speak on the work of the Seward
Chapter at a Red Cross meeting held
in the Whitcomb Hotel in San Fran
cisco. Workers from the Western
States were present. They all seemed
very much pleased with the results of
the last Seward Roll Call and with the
activities of our Junior Red Cross.
School at Kanatak
During her visits to Kanatak the
Delano Nurse has conducted a little
school for the natives in connection
with her health work. After each trip
reports and requests for a real school
have been sent to Mr. Lopp and Mr.
Wagner .We have just been inform
ed that this effort on the part of the
Red 'Cross has been successful. A
teacher will be sent there in the fall.
Requests From Latouche
Latouche is one of the best branches
of the Seward Chapter. The people
there contributed over $200 last Nov
ember. Mr. A. Klerck and Miss Mary
Ritchie, who represent the Red Cross,
have asked that the Delano Nurse visit
the natives at Chenoga, a settlement
near Latouche. Miss Fuller will go
over in the near future.
Delano Nurse May Be Withdrawn
It is the wish of the Delano Commit
tee in Washington, that demonstra
tions of public health nursing be made
in as many chapters as possible, thru
the use of the Delano Fund. The limit
of time to be spent in each Commun
ity depends upon this committee.
From correspondence with Washing
ton, it seems probable that Miss Ful
ler may be recalled on September 30,
the end of her second year here. This
should mak no change in the work. If
the appropriation is received from the
Bureau of Education it should be pos
sible to raise the rest of the budget in
Seward and along the Peninsula.
The Railway launch Sunflower will
make an emergency trip with mail
from Nenana to Circle as soon as the
river clears of ice.
