Izuok Walton Leoque Condemns
 Inadequate Funds

Des Moines, Iowa.-Urging that Alaskan Fish and Wildlife officials appear in person before Congress to supply accurate data on the condition of wildlife there, delegates to the national convention of the Izaak Walton League condemned the meagre funds presently being made available for this work.
 In asking the convention to take this action, Burton H. At wood, of Winnetka, H., a na- tional director of the league, said Someone high in the h. terior. Department is preventing Congress from knowing the true needs of the Service. Directors of other Interior agencies in Alaska are very successful in developing tremendous pro- grams. They go before Congress sional appropriations commit tees and present their needs. As a result, millions of dollars are spent for such things as native education and health. At the same time, Alaskan budget re- quests are sliced so that, by com parison, only pennies are avail able for fish and wildlife which are the basic source of liveli- hood to a large segment of the population, both native and White.' ..:. ..-. ..-
 Atwood said that last year an effort was made to obtain Con- gressional approval for blowing the Federal Governments tre- mendous profit on the Pribiloff seal herds back into Alaskan conservation operations, but the committee requested they be given more time to study the situation. Apparently they are still studying it, as I have heard no rumors of change of heart, ;" he said.

Fire Destroys Nurses Quarters At Seward Sanatorium

day, while 1t resulted in a total loss of the nurses quarters, was not as great as at first suspected.
 Nurses and attendants remov- ed patients from the children's ward and evacuated Number 2 Barracks, which was occupied by nurses and attendants, re- moving bedding and personal effects from the building to a place of safety under the trees.
 Preparations were made by the local Red Cross to evacuate the entire hospital if necessary to places of safety in town, us- ing the churches and Civic Gen. ter as refuge. Within 30 min- utes it was evident that the ne cessity would not arise, that the fire was under control, so Red Cross stood by until all danger was past.
 Valuable surgical equipment was removed from the surgery early in the fire, against the pos sibility that it could not be con- trolled, but was replaced with out damage before the firemen left the scene.
 Mrs. Alice H. Reay, Register ed Nurse, was injured when she returned to her room in the path of the rapidly approaching flames to rescue important pa pers and save what she could. She must have thought that she would have more time. She clos ed her door to keep out the smoke, but before she could find anything, the lights went out and the room filled with smoke Cropping her way to the window, she had difficulty in keeping it up. The windows are not set with the weights and ropes de- signed to hold the sash in place when raised, but must be stop ped by bolts. In addition, all windows had been tig g h l y screened. By the time Mrs. Reay succeeded in getting through the window, she was burned about the head and face, arms and back. She was taken to Seward General Hospital for treatment.
 At least two other nurses, Mrs. Swalwik and Miss Noble, were having coffee in the kitchen of the nurses quarters with Mrs. Reay when they discovered the fire already rolling down the corridor. They escaped immedi- ately through the kitchen door.
 The quarters had been remod- eled during the past year for special use of the sanatorium nurses, not all of whom had rooms in the building. A large living room and kitchen were tastefully and newly furnished by the Seward Registered Nurs- es Association at great expense, so as to make living conditions little more pleasant for the nursing staff at the hospital. Most, if not all, nurses at the sanatorium are from Outside, and except for those who work ed under war conditions and unused to the poor quarters and living conditions encountered in Alaska, find off duty hours rather dull and recreational fa- cilities definitely limited, situ- ated as it is away from the city and more or less isolated.
 All the furnishings, including the new electric range and re- frigerator, piano, and living room furniture was completely destroyed. Every item of cloth ing and personal possessions of the IA nurses quartered in the building was lost. Money, bonds, important papers, jewelry, etc, things that cannot be replaced, are a total loss.
