THE SEWARD GENERAL HOSPITAL
“it certainly does not take Sewardites long to swing
into action.” Thus remarked Dr. Haverstock while he
was being taken through the hospital building now un
dergoing complete remodeling preparatory to the open
ing to the public this month.
' At the same time the physician and surgeon ex
pressed fullest approval regarding the divisions that are
being made of the rooms that had been class rooms for
many years.
That remark of Dr. Haverstock’s, at one stroke,
brings home realization of what a community can do if
they really put their efforts behind it. The remark,
however, is hereby Qualified, to the extent that it is true
speedy action has been taken in the task now before the
ones credited with its progress todate, but for years it
has been the earnest hope of the majority of the citizens
of Seward that a modern hospital would some day be es
tablished here. And in these same hearts todav nothing
but gladness surges.
The Fluoroscopic X-ray machine, which has been
ordered, was said by Dr. Haverstock to be the very
latest and most modern obtainable; that there was no
better as m-r as he knew, in Alaska. And the other equip
ment for every department is likewise of the best.
The 'espouse from local individuals and fraternal
organizat ions, as well as the Alaska Railroad, in dona
tions, has been instantaneous and very meritorious. Fur
ther assistance from many others is expected. Mr. Storey
donated the sum of $100 to be used for the express pur
pose of laving tiling in the bathrooms. Mrs. Weybrecht
and Mrs. McMullen are furnishing completely the nur
sery. The American Legion Auxiliary is supplying every
thing for the kitchen. The Seward Woman’s Club will
furnish one of the nurses’ rooms.
Such community cooperation is to be highly com
mended by one and all for the successful completion anc
opening of the Seward General Hospital is a projecl
in which all may participate. More assistance is re
quired in the way of donations and will be gladly re
received by the committee.
SPRING! OH GENTLE SPRING!
We have been waiting thee for lo, these many days.
We have the eucalyptus tree, the camphor, slippery elm
and the sassafrass tree as well as the quinine and boot
legger tree in the closet waiting thee. Why, oh why must
thou thus be delayed?
We have importuned the stars and the west winds.
After Winter had driven us ragged with all the tricks he
he could pull out of his ice box; after the winter under
wear began to wear out and the shoepacks run down at
the heel, we thought that you and the south wind would
heed us. But alas and alack!
So we are joyously sniffing the air for the real first
herald of thy coming. We will tenderly push aside the
first tender green of thy emmissaries. We played fair
with you all winter and loved nobody else but you and
paid the coal man; whyinhell don’t you get on the job?
It looks as though Sourdough Bill’s platform of free
beer for the hard-working goil has just about put him
over the top. Three hundred and thirty-two more speak
easies are still unreported.
They say that British Columbia has all the road
building problems she can carry right now. Eastern Can
ada is building roads with American booze money. Now
isn’t there some way we could get together with British
Columbia on this question? Sh-h-h-h
Gautred by the recent primary skirmish a major bat
tie looms in the offing this fall.
For the purpose of giving those
who are not familiar with the in
terior alterations being made in j
the Seward General Hospital the
ff llowing description will proba- j
fclv enlighten them somewhat.
The northeast room is now sub- i
divided to provide a reception
room, doctor’s office and a until
'jy ;oom. The southeast room has
Iv'pn made into three private
oms v " patients, a bathroom
included. These are the two rooms ;
that face Second Avenue. The
'southwest room of the building
has been partitioned into an X-ray
room, a sterilizing room and a
' good sized operating room. The
; former northwest classroom is di- ,
vidcd into two wards with a bath- i
l
I room and toilet in each.
; One of the large spacious rooms j
1 downstairs is being made into
two private rooms that will serve !
; as nurses quarters, and another
large room has been cut so as to
offord a kitchen and dining room.
The studding in the upstairs
rooms a”e up and the laving of
! Oelotex on the new walls will pro
meed just as soon as the additional
electrical work has been installed.
The metal lathing on the outside j
jof the building is about completed
j and the stucco work will probably t
; start during this week.
