aska SO far this year rose to four
last week with the report to the
Alaska Department of Health la
boratories of three cases which
occurred in late March and early
April. Two Of the cases were dogs

through total immunization of the
dog population. He said that err
adication of stray dogs is part
of the rabies prevention program.

JUDGE SPEAKS At CHAMBER MEET on COURT OVERLOAD

The acute situation of a backlog
Of some 1900 to 1860 court cases
in the Third Division Court was
the topic Of a talk presented to
members Of the Matanuska Val
ley Chamber of Commerce on
June 4 by the Honorable Harry
c. Westover, Judge u. S. Dis
,trict Court, Los Angeles.
Judge Westover IS devoting
part of his vacation time to as
sist Judge j. l.. McCarry with
the immense case load of the
District Court. "Some years ago
at a judicial conference Judge
McCarry spoke Of the case load
in Alaska. At that time / told
him I would assist him if ever the
the opportunity came up. While
here I may be able to try from
80 to 40 cases; in July Judge
Reeves will be here and may be
able to try similar number,
this is nothing compared to the
total cases pending. 1t is similar
to a situation a farmer might

PALMER TEACHERS

Judging from the current IN

MISSION BOARD
PICKS UP TAB ON
HOSPITAL INSURANCE

Word was received this week
by the Valley Presbyterian Hos
pital board of directors that the
National Board of Missions, Pres
byterian Church of U. S. will pay
the costs of insurance on the To-
cal hospital.
Although the operating agree
ment between the National Board
Of Missions and the Valley Hos
pital Association was terminated
March Is of this year, the N.B.M.
still holds the grant mortgage on
the hospital. One Of the terms
contained in the mortgage is that
the Hospital Association shall
carry insurance to cover the
amount of mortgage ($232,000).
Hospital directors had earlier
voted to continue the fire insur-
ance on that amount and as a
protection to the community, to
purchase fire insurance for a
recommended 80 percent cover
age Of the assessed valuation Of
the hospital.
This decision was forwarded to
the National Board Of Missions
in New York. Because Of a mail
delay, word was not received
from the New York office before
the then current insurance was
slated to expire and the hospital
board of directors authorized the
purchase of insurance from the
Pippel Insurance Agency and the
Matanuska Valley Bank Agency.
Since that time the local board
has been notified that the Nation
al Board of Missions will be
happy to pay the insurance for
the Valley Presbyterian Hospital
not only on the mortgage
amount, but on the entire 30 per-
cent #coverage"
This: means that the hospital
now has close to $4,000, that
would have been spent for the
insurance, with which to make
other necessary expenditures.
