 Pat doesn't want love because, as he says, he's had the worst of i" i; Jamie, on the other hand, rejects love because she's had "the best of it." So she becomes Pats assis- tant on the oxygen-mask project and, one day, proposes that they get married without love"-and then hilarious results.

 T-B Association Helps
 Because no funds were available to maintain or heat the building, the Health Department was first faced with a serious problem after the property was placed under it's jurisdiction. This was solved when the Alaska Tuberculosis Association voted the sum of $l,000 for this purpose at recent executive board meeting The sum can be increas- ed if there is justification, so that the building may be kept in good condition until the formal transfer is made to the Methodist Mission Board. The Board will have re- responsibilities of maintaining and operating the institution after this time.
 The Army has agreed to put the heating and plumbing facilities in good condition. Surplus medical and surgical supplies are also avail able from the Army
 Tt seems well that the public should know the many difficulties that confront officials in carrying cut some of the apparently simple steps in effecting an adequate tu- berculosis control program" Dr. AL crecht said Much must still be ac- ccmplished before the realization of our ultimate goal, namely, the isola- tion and treatment of those who are afflicted, in order that we can cure those who have contracted tu- berculosis, and to prevent it's spread to others"

ARMY HOSPITAL AT
 SEWARD SOON 10 BE TERR. INSTITUTION
Negotiations Nearly Com pIeied for Transfer
 Says AIbreeht

l Associations for the a transfer of the Fort Raymond hospital at ; Seward to the Territorial Depart ment of Health are moving rapidly toward completion, Dr. C. Earl AL brecht, Territorial Commissioner of Health, reports following his return from a ten-day trip to the vest ward.
 Dr. Albrecht was one of six doc tors who offered their services for treatment of Yukon survivors land- ed at Seward. He had planned to stay in that city only short while, but with the emergency work to be done, he dropped all business plans until survivors were treated.
 In speaking of the Fort Raymond hospital, the Commissioner said prospect of a second temporary tuberculosis sanatorium to be open ed in Alaska very soon are good.
 With the liklihood of Congress appropriating funds for the con- struction of a permanent sanator- ium in Southeast Alaska to replace the Skagway institution, it is felt that the Tuberculosis Control Pro- gram for the Territory is definitely under way, he said.
 Methodist Board In Charge
 The Seward hospital will be oper- ated by the Board of Missions of the Methodist Church pr. AL brecht met with officials of the board recently in New York to dis cuss details of the transaction.
 The Fort Raymond Hospital, which was declared surplus by the Army in the fall of 1945, was turn ed over to the General Land Office for disposition late in October, 1945. Health officials immediately realiz- ed it's value as a future tuberculo- sis sanatorium, Dr. Albrecht said. Preliminary steps were taken to expedite the transfer of the prop erty to the Territory. Governor Ernest Gruening, who was in Wash ington at the time holdings were turned over to the General Land Office, gave material assistance to that agency, outlining the plan for a sanatorium and urging coopera- tion to make the transfer as quick ly as possible.
 On his recent trip to Washington Dr. Albrecht held numerous con- ferences and completed all neces- sary paper work for the transfer.
 Details Cause Delays
 The Commissioner stressed the fact that while termination of the transfer of an Army surplus prop erty of such size and nature as the Fort Raymond Hospital appears slow in process it must be borne in mind that great amount of de- tailed work is required.
 The necessary >appraisals and in- ventories are being completed at present, however, he said. Re- leases have been signed by the ori- ginal land owners, clearing an- other possible obstacle of the trans fer by the Federal Government to a Territorial Agency. A factor which did bring about some delay was the necessity to carry out President Truman's order that a survey of all Federal lands transferred to other agencies must be made for
