SAYS KENTUCKY CONDITIONS
 WORSE THAN ALASKA


 JUNEAU - Living conditions in Alaskas isolated areas are no more primitive than in many communi- ties in the Kentucky mountains ac- cording to Bertha L. Bloomer, Alas ka Health Department nurse-mid- wife in the Naknek district.
 After two years in that post, Miss Bloomer arrived in Juneau to be- come maternal and child health nursing eonsultant in the central office here Prior to coming to Alaska in 194S, she served with the Frontier Nursing Service in Kentucky for four years.
 Much the same health problems and emergencies confront residents of both territory and state when they live far from medical aid," she commented. She added that public health nurses in such areas must be prepared to meet emergen- cies of many types, and also at tempt to preeede the stork when he is expected at outposts.
 Tn Alaska we travel by airplane and dog team, in Kentucky by horse and jeep. Here it's weather we battle, and there it's sudden ris- ing of the rivers that must be ford ed because bridges are few.
 Living conditions in Kentueky's isolated areas are often more prim- lt1Ve than Alaska's," Miss Bloomer said. She said this seemed to be due in part to the fact that the buildings here are often newer and or better construction necessitated by Alaska's climate.
