Letter to the E0itor
Dear Editor:

Dear EdlJor:
 Since the community was first advised that the Griffin Memorial Hospital was in serious Financial difficulties, I have heard many comments and had many inquir. ies. The most common inquiry seems to be: How can this be true? Why has there been this change in only a short time? Coupled with this inquiry is often a remark that there should be a general financial statement made available to the public.
 believe that the major reason for the present financial difficulty is a decreased use of local hospital tacilit.eS. A hospital is pecti- lar La,sineSS. Expenses, other than for fooo and drugs, are not direct ly proportion ate to the number of patients on given day. Whether there is currently one patient or twenty, there must be a basic staff on, duty: not only the floor purse, but a nurse on call for sur gerry, a technician on call for Xray or laboratory work, kitchen and laundry and housekeeping employ ees. A large hospital with drop tr patients can close off floor and dispense with some employees, a small hospital cannot. Basic costs for heat and light go on.
 The bookkeeping at the Griffin Memorial Hospital is done in ac- corance with the standards of the American Hospital Association Further, it must be done in such a way as to meet the standards of the Alaska Department of Health and the Alaska Native Service, to each of whom annual reports must be made. Following are some fig ures from the hospitals annual balance sheets which think will bear out my point:
 Total patient days: 1856, 3,253 1es7, 3,491; 1858, 3,657; 1859 2,791. Per cent of occupany: 1856 47.04; 1857, 50. 48; 1858, 52.7 195o, 38. 23. Income from patients 1856. $57, ,27435; 1857, 0.740.99 1858, STA. .426 39; 1859 $62. .764.97 .Total expense & deficit, 1856 .s69, .90/$l2,17765a 1857, 74.734 Oi/Ss, ,993. .O2; 1858, S8O,474.3i/$6 o47.92; 1859, $89 ,996. .86/$27 ,23l. l.89 Non.operating income: 1856. $14 424.4O; 1957, $15 ,822.66; 1858. $11 456. 55; 1850 $1O,899.65.
 Nate the dramatic drop in pa tient days, and in percentage O occupancy, between 1858 and 1959 TanS is due in some part to de creased population, in some par tp medical progress: drugs ant treatments which shorten h0spi tai stays or make hoSpHsliazt1ol unnecessary Ca progress wthidh VI ali applaud) It is possible tha this decrease represents an in creased use of hospital facnitie' in other places by our population 4 general hospital can't run os 10opo occupancy; if it did. there would be no bed for the maternrt! case or accident victim. 70Fo | about ideai as far as efficienc! and ecoGoniol operation go.

Dup Ont's SO Sales
Establish Record
Passing 81 Billion

Sales of the Dupont Company
advanced l6 per cent in 1859
over 1858 and established a rec
ord for the company of $2,ll4
million, passing the two-billion
mark for the first time. The
previous record was $l,965 mil
lion established in 1857.
Crawford H. Greenewalt, pres
ident, in his annual report to
the more than 217,000 stock
holders, today also disclosed
that the company's index of
selling prices averaged about
one per cent lower than in 1858.
1t was six per cent lower than
in 1854 and was only four per
cent above the l947-49 average.
"This price record" said Mr..
Greenewalt, despite continuing
initiation in the economy, has
been made possible principally
through increased operating eff
ficiency." Physical volume of
sales increased II per cent over
1858.
He reported that increased
demand occurred in practical
ly all of the company's pro-
duct lines, but was especially

evident in sales of Customers,
fibers, and plastics.
There were 2l7,000 stockhold-
ers at the year-end, an increase
of S,l52 during the year. Among
the stockholders were 46,255
employees compared with 4,985
ten years ago. A large part of
this increase is due to the COM
pany's thrift plan established in
1855. Employees who partici-
pate in the plan are provided
an opportunity, at no cost to
themselves, to become stock
holders.

Manmade Fibers
Tend To Fucker

When you're sewing with the
new manmade fibers or wash
and wear cottons, some adjust
ments have to be made to keep
the material from puckering up.
According to county home
demonstration agent, Miss M.
Katharine Jones, a test should
be made with the sewing ma
chine first. She suggested fold
ing a strip of the fabric and
stitching it lengthwise. This is
the acid test she said. If there
is no puckering with a length
wise stitch it will work fine for
crosswise and bias stitching.
She suggested sewing the fab
ric slowly and with a slightly
loose tension. If it FUCKERS try
loosening the top tension. If
that doesn't help, loosen the
tension screw on the bobin case.
Sometimes longer stitch will
reduce puckering too.
A smooth, tightly woven fab
ric such as nylon organdy re-
quires high pressure on the
presser bar. A thick, loosely
woven fabric requires only a
light pressure.
Be sure to use a fine machine
needle if a fine tread is being
used. Dacron thread may give
better results than nylon, Miss
Jones said. When using the
new cotton material, mercerized
cotton thread is best.

WOmen's Return
To Work Harder

Women over thirty-five who
want to return to work will
soon find jobs harder to get,
says Patricia Middleton, home
management specialist with the
University of Delaware.
During the l96O's there will
be an increase in the number
of young people seeking jobs.
she says. This increase repre-
sents the coming-of-age of the
children born during the "baby
boom" of World War II and the
postwar years.
These young people, just en-
tering the job market will be
competing with mature women
re-entering the same market"
This is a problem for the
homemaker who is linking
about returning to work in a
few years, when her children
reach their teens. With this in
creasing competition she would
be wise to start preparing for
it as soon as possible, Miss Mil
dleton advises. The woman who

in better position than others
who are unprepared.

Rail Contract

James R. Hoffa said today the
union has just negotiated a new
contract agreement covering
several thousand workers in

is owned by major railroads.

break in the whole railroad

Everybody else is talking about
mediation and arbitration, but
we just stepped in and got a

Mr.. Hoffa also said he plans
to file a new move in Federal
court in Washington in the
next few days to rid himself
of supervision of court
appointed monitors. This will
take the form of a plea for
permission to hold a special
TeamsterS convention.

Missile With Wings
Is Tested by Russia

intercontinental airborne mis-
sile. the Shark, which flies
about 900 miles an hour. The
Soviet missile will fly about
1000 miles an hour and main
tain that speed all the way
to the target, the Pentagon
sources say.
In theory the American Nike
Hercules and Bomarc defensive
missiles will be able to shoot
1t down, although those weap-
ons were developed to hit much
slower bombers.
Use in Reconnaissance
The new missile would have
peace time use in reconnai-
sance. Flying extremely high
and fast over Western territory.
it could photograph military
installations and be guided
home again with the informa-
ton. 1t is thought to have
an internal guidance system
which navigates by the stars.
Such a system would be un-
jammable and extremely accu-
rate.
On a Mission. the new weap-
on could be expected to hit
within a half mile of the tar
get. Soviet ICBMs are believed
to be accurate only to within
about 2l4 miles. The greater ac-
curacy of the winged missiles
would mean that fewer would
be needed to make sure Of wip-
ing out a given target, compen-
sating for the greater loss of
the missiles to air defenses.
Further testing of the new
missile is expected to take place
in the Soviet Union. The Rus
slams needed space in the Pa
cif1c for their long grange ICBM
shots. but this missile is steer
able and could be run from
