RED CROSS 'ACTIVE
Miss Yeteve Taake, representing
the Pacific Division of the Red Cross
left on Sunday’s train for Anchor
age.
Miss Taake came to Seward to con
fer with the Chapter concerning the
advisability of continuing the Delano
nursing service for another year.
There are many drawbacks to public
health nursing in the local chapter,
which includes Latouche, Seward and
all Alaska peninsula as well as the
Pribiloff Islands and Bristol Bay
points. It is obvious that such a ter
ritory is too large for one nurse to
cover. When it is remembered that
there are practically no doctors, den
tists or hospitals in the 1500 miles
between Seward and Nushagak the
difficulties are easily understood.
At the meeting on Friday, nine
members were present. The whole
situation was discussed at length and
it was decided that the work should
go on, if possible. Those present felt
that the Red Cross, in this pioneer
work was making a beginning that
might result in an efficient health
service. With this thought in mind,
a formal request for a continuance
of the service was made. The chap
ter is now waiting to hear from the
Delano committee.
