 Building on our own IS simply out of the question" she said The new wing of the hospital has not been paid for as yet. and it would be impossible to get another loan at this time. she emphasized
 Slankard said that he was fav- orably impressed" with what he saw on his inspection tour. He stated that he believed that the sit- uation had been magnified and elaborated upon, and that it was not as bad as has been reported
 On his inspection tour Slankard covered the entire hospital, includ- ing the timbers under the base ment floor. and the wiring in the attic. He said that he was pleased with the effort made to operate within the means of the hospital budget in an old building of that type, that it was very well kept, clean and painted.
 One of the points on which the hospital was condemned was that the operating table was not port able in case of fire. Slankard dis agreed with this report, in that he stated that he saw the table. which was on wheels. being moved

ephone exchange was completely destroyed by fire on Christmas Eve of 1946 It was more than six weeks after the fire before even partial telephone service could be resumed. At that time two position switch board was installed in the basement of the old telephone exchange build ing. Service was limited to eight party lines. with the exception of some few essential places
 In the latter part of October of 1947 a six-position switchboard was flown in from Chicago, installed in the City Council Chambers. and finally put into operation in De- eember of that year With about 1850 telephones, service on one. two. and four-party lines was re- established
 In 1851 new telephone building was constructed and a modern dial system was put into operation. At that time approximately 2,200 phones were connected to the sys- tenn, with capacity of 4.500 phones.
 In March of this year central office switching equipment was added which allowed service to 20o0 more phones. The system is now studying methods to give addi- tional capacity.

 Miss, helped to start a chain of events resulting in a lively presen- tation of the 5,000th telephone in Fairbanks.
 Recipient of the gold and ivory instrument. donated by the Auto matic Electric Sales Corp. was Jim Binkley. owner of the riverboat Discovery" who lives on Universi- ty avenue in College His number is 1000.
 At ceremonies Wednesday mor- ming at the Binkley home. q call was put through to Jackson's May or, Allen c Thompson. by Fair banks Mayor Douglas Preston. Al- so participating in the call was Frank Mapleton, general manager of the Municipal Utilities System, who extended birthday greetings to Bryant Horne, Jackson's utilities personnel director.
 Jackson was selected for the first call or the new phone because of the goodwill extended Fairbanks as result of the receipt of a check from Mrs. c. w.. Quinn of 1892 Turner street.
 The check. drawn on the Alaska National Bank in the amount of $27l9 by Mrs. Quinn, was in pay ment of her May utilities bill. It was addressed simply to Municipal Utilities System, City" It had three-cent stamp on 1t and arrived in Jackson in the time it would take an air mail letter to reach there. The check reached Jackson on the 18th of June
 When Horner received the check writer for the Jackson paper, Jerry Proctor, was in his office, discussing some business They both thought the incident interesting so Proctor wrote an article for his pa- per.
 The check was returned to Fair banks along with copy of Proc tors story. and notation that there is no Municipal System in Jackson, other than the water supply.
 After more correspondence be- tween the officials of both compan- ies, it was decided that a call from Fairbanks to Jackson on the 5000th telephone installed here would be of interest to all concerned.
 The telephone was actually in- stalled last week, but the company doublecheeked to make sure just which phone was actually number 5000.
 Also speaking from this end were Col. George LaBreche. Ladd's new base commander; Gen John H Rug gles. North of the Range Army Commander. and R. A. Dutch" Derr. Chamber manager

 The hospitals board of directors met Tuesday night and discussed the situation. They will make a re- port which will be forwarded to Slankard. He will take the matter into consideration with regard to possible solutions. The hospital has also retained a local architect and an attorney to survey the needs of the building and to recommend nec- essary improvements in order to meet the required standards.

Wants an Oriqinol

We have moved to the WASH
ington area from another city
and would like very much to
learn where one can find
really unique and original mo-
bileS.
In our home city in the
Midwest there were several
young artists who were doing
some really wonderful creative
work in designing and making
m biles. Several Of our
friends, who we're furnishing
their modern homes, found
that by using one or more of
these mobiles in their interior
decorating scheme they we're
able to create an effect that
was artistically stunning; max
ing their homes something
truly unique in modern, in
terror planning.
OF course l am aware that
facile. run-of-the-mill mobiles
are available in many stores,
but what we are seeking is an
original, truly artistic creation.
! would certainly appreciate
hearing about it if any such
mobiles can be found in the
Washington area.

VIRGINIA
BY ALEX X. PRESTON

Virginia will have a stronger
voice in the Republican and Demo-
cratic National Conventions this
year than it did in 1852.
The Democrats will cast 80 votes
at the convention in Chicago COM
mencing August 13, compared with
% votes four years ago,
And the Republicans will send 80
delegates to San Francisco on
August 20 instead of the % they
were allowed in 1852.
The grass roots movement to-
ward selection of these delegates
already has commenced. County,
city and congressional district con-
ventions and mass meetings have
been held or are scheduled
Last week, this column listed a
number of these meetings and ex-
planned the basis for apportioning
representation in the State con-
ventions among the various coun-
ties and cities.
This week we will outline the
basis for Virginias representation
in the national conventions.
The two together show how far
removed the voter is from having
a direct voice in selecting his
party's nominees.
Each party uses different
formula. 1t is important to re-
member that Democrats can elect
convention delegates with half
votes. The Republicans cannot.
Here is a summary of the two
methods and how they affect Vir-
ginia:
