inch of rain, however, the
windstorm experienced early
in the month this year had
very drying results, he report
ed. Temperature recordings
made by Izetta Ganschow
showed high of n on June

Today's temperature, although
pedicted to reach 80, was IS
at 8 am. and SIS at II am, ac-
cording to Mrs. GanschoW. a
slight breeze may keep the
temperature from hitting the
prediction. Swimming and

Hospital Owner
Stresses importance
OF Public Relations

William knight, owner of the
Orville-Curran Hospital, Califor-
MIA, told Chamber of Commerce
members and delegates attend
ing the Alaska Hospital Associa-
ton convention, that good public
relations is essential to good
business, whether it be hospital
or a private business.
Public relations start at home
he pointed out. He referred to q
public relations slogan used by
the Union Electric in Missouri
mo words or devices convey tt
the people what good organiza-
ton this is to do business with
if they do not find out sufficient
ly enough from their own expert
ences". He brought out the i'm
portance of the impression made
by employees, not only from 800
to 500, but from 500 pm. on
after working hours. 1--WE recog-
nize that it is not right to judge
hospital-or a business by the
opinion of one disgruntled en-
ployee- unfortunately, that
is just what happens quite often,
knight said. The relationship be-
tween employer and employee is
very important for public rela-
tons, he added. Wages should be
equal to the same type Of worg
elsewhere sick leave should be
provided, holidays off and
most important the coffee break
This is a very important time for
the employee. It provides a time
TOR getting acquainted with other
employees. If an employee feels
ne is not being treated right he
will not represent the organiza-
ton well.
The patient or customer rela-
ton is very important. Policies
OF the hospital or firm should be
checked with the patient or Gus
toner for reaction. The best
guide, he added, is the Golden
Rule.

PaImler Men Escape
Injuries When
Boat Upseis in River

Three Palmer men narrowly
escaped a serious mishap on
Tuesday Of this week when their
boat capsized, throwing them in
to the Matanuska river. They
were Lloyd Hansen, Dick Meal
lister, and Keith Hooks.
The three men, employed as
line men at the Eklutna project.
were attempting to release a
power line from Bureau Of Rec
lamation pole which was knocked
down by the turbulent river on
Monday. According to James
Hamlin, project engineer, the
boat capsized when it became in
volved with the pole. The men
managed to get themselves out
Of the water onto a sandbar. The
lateness of the hour prevented
attempts at rescue with other
boats and the 10th Air Rescue
was requested to assist. "A helicop-
ter was sent to the project where
Jim Hale was picked up and after
pointing out the location of the
men he was set down on sand
bar while the transportation Of
the men was completed. He was
later picked up by the helicopter
crew and flown to the power
house.
Hamlin said the crew was at
tempting to cut loose the pole
and cross arm from the line,
hoping the power line would be
released and put back in use. He
said another attempt. in diff
ferent manner, will be made.
Lost in the accident was a 16-
foot boat and a 10 lisp motor.
Hamlin said they may be able to
recover the equipment. Hamlin,
who has been in the States, learn

turn that evening.

HOLIDAY TRAFFIC
HEAVY I'M VALLEY;
NO ACCIDENTS

With the exception Of a very
small mishap, resulting in about
$40 damage, no other highway
accident was reported to the ter
ritorial or city police during the
long four day holiday weekend.
This commendable record was set
in spite of an almost constant
flow of traffic in and around the
valley during that time.
Oliver Onkka, Bureau of Public
Roads engineer in the valley
area, reported that traffic checks
were recorded at the Matanuska
River bridge, on the Glenn high
way just north of Palmer and on
the Wasilla highway from May ~
to June 3. The check at the Mat
anuska River bridge indicated q
flow of traffic north and SOUTH
totaling 1874 vehicles. On May
20 and 81 the traffic count was ex-
actly the same, 4,139 vehicles; On
the Goth there were 2,546, on tne
first 2,233, and between the first
and third of June there was q
total Of 6,940 vehicles crossed the
bridge.
A greater number of holiday
travellers chose the Wasilla lake
areas as indicated by the heavier
flow of traffic on the Wasilla
highway. Between June ] and
June 3 a total of 4,153 vehicles
travelled the paved highway to
the Wasilla-Big Lake area
Figures indicate that about H.
1854 of the vehicles counted did
not travel either the Glenn high
way north or the Wasilla high
way.
