 Right now in Dillingham; there are two or three children in ev- cry family who have colds or whooping cough" Gardner estimat- ed.
 Although the area has a new hospital with all the necessary ac- cessories, the most serious cases have to be flown to Anchorage for treatment This takes money that a good many people just don't have
 Gardner declared, but worse still it is a dangerous inconvenience. "
 A resident of Alaska since 1898, Gardner said that one child was brought here two weeks ago and had been coughing so violently thai he was ruptured.
 Yesterday it was necessary t1 make an emergency flight to An chorage with Mrs. Jimmy Downey who was injured in a fall, Gard her reported.
 Criticizing the action of thu Bureau of Indian Affairs, Gard ner said the agency fired the reg ular doctor last June and ha' never sent in a replacement. The hospital has a full nursess staff according to Gardner, and ample space to handle patients "The medical supervisors can find sufficient money to fly around the territory and they didn't waste any time raising the hospital rates" Gardner charged. but they can't get around to finding funds or the time to secure a doctor
