kEA Gets New Loan

The REA in Washington ap- proved a $350, 900 loan to the Kodiak Electric Association this week.
 Action on the application has been pending for several months, Leon "Ole" Johnson, manager, said Thursday. Tele- grams from Claude R. Wick ard, REA administrator, and Delegate E. L. Bartlett advis- ing the KEA board of the loan were received Wednesday.
 The money will be used to add a generating unit, build power lines to Spruce Cape for the loran S tation, build power lines in the East Addition for the new housing project, re- build the lines along Mill Bay road and to Island Lake, and for the street light program.
 The REA requires that loans be repaid over a maxi mum 35-year period and carry 2% interest.gt The KEA receiv- ed approval of the S35O, 900 loan only after the REA con- pleted a thorough check of the application.
 Johnson said some of the power line construction may be delayed because of the shortage of copper wire.
 Since the KEA was organ ized it has received around $750, ,000 in loan fund alloca- tons from the REA. The coop is meeting payments on sched- ule, Johnson said.

Red Cross, he explained. planned
on serving 2.5 million men when

finds it must plan services for a

If we do not oversubscribe to the

said, we will ''have to admit to a

The Red Cross also grants many
loans and outright gifts of money
for patients transportation and
subsistence on the way home to
convalescence. At the naval hos

October for those purposes. Be-
fore the Korean casualties began
pouring in last August, only $485

The Everett Scandinavian Festi-

ginning in 1851. In keeping with
this annual celebration the Everett

the Snohomish County Library,
has prepared booklets covering all
phases of Scandinavian life.
These booklets, which include
most of the Scandinavian material
in both libraries, are entitled:
Swedes in Sweden and the United
States; Norwegians in Norway and
the United States; Denmark and
Finland; and Scandinavian c o :
tunes, Cookery, and Customs.
Free copies of these lists are
available from either the Everett

upon request.

Remarkable Institute
In 1884 an extension was built
to house the large tumor institute,
which contains a huge, two-story
high super voltage X-ray therapy
machine, one of two machines of
this kind in the country. The work
carried on here, in all phases Of
tumors, has been of national sig
nificance, and two of the scientists
there are internationally known.
In 1887, the so-called Orthopedic
wing was built, complete with
swimming pool for treatment of
infantile paralysis patients. Sue
cessive improvements have given
the hospital a good reputation in
several varied phases of service
and treatment.
