Un- der the present conditions at the hospital, even cases suspected of being contagious cannot be admit ted, according to the board.
 Everyone in the community realizes and is grateful for Pal mer's good fortune in being by passed by epidemics that have struck all throughout the terri tory" members of the board pointed out. ''The hospitals part in keeping Palmer clear of these epidemics is to take every pos sible precaution."

Russian A-BoInh' First Reaction Here To Falling Meteor

An eerie flash of greenish light that illumined the whole sky, ac- companied by loW rumbling noise early last night, struck ter TOT to the hearts of many here who could not help but think that the Russians had attacked Alaska and dropped an A-bomb here.
 One North Palmer resident, who gave an eyewitness account of the phenomenon, said that she and her young son had just hap pened to step outside of the house when they heard a low rumbling noise and saw the strange green light that shot the whole sky. The mountains were silhouetted as plain as day in the light that lasted for only seconds. It seemed 60 come from the vicinity of An chorage. It seemed to be a huge explosion.
 "You couldn't think of anything else but that the Russians had come," the eyewitness said, ada ing that she rushed to the radio for any news on the awesome sight.
 q couldn't help but be re- lieved," she admitted, "to hear the assuring news that it was be- lieved to be only a meteor"
 Many residents of the Valley saw the meteor and some have insisted that they actually heard the report of firing of the ack-ack guns at Fort Richardson.

TWO FAMILIES LOSE POSSESSIONS AS
 FIRES SWEEP VALLEY

Two families that suffered tragic losses here in fires that plagued the Valley last week end were the Norman Wallises and l.. M. DePriests.
 Mr. and Mrs. Wallis and their two children left here Wednesday morning on their way by plane to Oakland, California, where they plan to work toward another stake to bring them back to Alas ka for another try. The family, recent newcomers here, lost their possessions Sunday when flames swept through their cabin at about g pm. They were making their home in one of Lee Hartley's cabins at Finger lake. MT. Wallis was also employed by MT. Hartley at his garage here.
 The family said prior to their departure that they are not giving up. They love Alaska and they are going Outside to replenish their winter clothing and get re- organized for second try. They plan to stay with MT. Wallis par ents this winter and return here in the spring. They extended their appreciation to the commun- ity for the generous aid and as- sistance offered to them after the fire. .:"
 Raging up to 50 miles per hour, winds that swept the Valley from early Thanksgiving morning un- til early Monday morning of this week whipped brush fires out of control to threaten many homes here and at Wasilla. The Air Force at Elmendorf sent crews of firefighters here by truck who battled in 2 below zero weather to get the fires under control late Monday.
 On Saturday afternoon around 4 pm. silos and the barn were burned to the ground at the dairy farm of L. M. DePriest. The dairy herd was saved with the excep- ton of two calves that were in the barn.
 Other destruction included a shed destroyed by fire at the home of L. w. Bixby at Mile 45 on the Palmer Highway. Flames also threatened the homes of Ava Brooks and H. A. Harrington.

Because of the crowded conditions there is no ehildren's ward and children by necessity are hospitalized in the same rooms with adults. Visiting hours will be strictly adhered to except in special instances when permission must be obtained from the nurse in charge.
 'As the community is well aware, Valley hospital is operat- ing under terrific obstacles with staff of only two doctors and five nurses and very inadequate building," the board members stated. Tt is hoped that in time the hospital will have facilities to care for contagious cases but with the present set up there is no way that any patient can be isolated.
