“One of the finest things which
could be taken up by the citizens of
Alaska and their civic bodies would
!
be that of getting behind the move
i (t ft . -* 1, "
ment of Governor Park’s in endeavor
ing to secure a new hospital for the
care of Alaska’s insane,” Attorney
Anthony J. Dimond, twice a member
of the Territorial legislature, in ad
dressing the Seward Chamber of Com
merce members and their guests, at
the luncheon held at Fisher’s cafe,
stated yesterday. Continuing he said
“Do not stop to debate the question
where the hospital is to be located,
that can be thrashed out at a later
date, but every Alaskan should back
up Governor Park’s resolution to se
cure the necessary appropriation for
the hospital’s construction and care
of the patients.”
Mr. Dimond stated emphatically
. that the contract system of caring for
Alaska’s insane must be abolished.
He has secured ample evidence that
condition at the present institution are
miserable, regardless of the beautiful
appearing folder widely distributed
throughout the Territory last year. He
does not believe the conditions at the
institution is the fault of its head
but of the system in vogue. “Alas
kans must be aroused to the fact its
insane is very poorly attended to,”
he forcibly exclaimed, “and from the
stand point of humanization it is the
only thing worth while.
“As evidence of the humanitarism
practiced in Alaska you have one of
the finest examples right here in Sew
ard, the Jesse Lee home. I can recall
nothing comparable with the spirit
evidenced in the construction of such
a splendid home for the care of so
many of Alaska’s children.
“At the recent annual meeting of
the Grand Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska,
held at Valdez, that body endorsed
Gov. Park’s resolution and by such
action, with the assistance of the
voice of Alaskan’s citizenry, will do
much in bringing about immediate
relief to the present situation.” j
