Miss Douglas Barnsley who had been serving in the Cor dova position, was assigned to this new location. Within a week of her entrance on duty, Miss Barnsley was called to minister to the natives of Tyonek during an outbreak of influenza which affected the entire village. Outbreaks of less serious conse- | quences have occurred in other of the villages of that region. | Barrow Hospital One of the highlights of the trip | !was a visit to Barrow early in| March, to the hospital, construction | of which was completed the week previous. This hospital is planned to accommodate 20 patients and to serve the area from Cape Lisbourne | to Demarcation Point, the entire Arctic Coast. Making the trip with Miss Tiber was Miss Lorean V.| Auwen, who was transferred from.| the U. S. Hospital for Natives in Juneau, to the staff of the Barrow Hospital. She, with Miss Valeria Pawlak, R. N., and Dr. Julius Yale | Sher, constitute the professional | staff at the hospital. This hospital embodies principles lof modern hospital construction | adapted to the needs of the Arctic | climate. Huge tanks, which can be | filled with ice from the outside, are | provided and fitted with coils for ! melting this ice. Electric pumps force the water into other tanks and | pipes throughout the building. | Emergency Surgery | Completion of a portion of the | building had been hurried to pro- | vide space for emergency surgery, | which could otherwise have been taken care of under most difficult | lowing the destruction by fire of the | former hospital which had burned | in February, 1937. At Wainwright, Miss Tiber met | Miss Mildred Keaton, who joined her later at Barrow. Miss Keaton | was making preparations for her annual visit to the eastward of Bar- ! ‘row, where she ministers to the needs of the scattered groups living in that isolated area. Miss Tiber noted that the popula- | | | | tion of the villages of Barrow and Wainwright had increased consid- erably since her previous visits. ‘The population increase is caused | by moving of people from the iso- lated regions east of Barrow to these settlements First Plane The trip wase made to Barrow from Kotzebue on the first plane drops of | into Barrow since September 9. A landing field prepared on a lagoon at Barrow was dragged and marked, presenting the appearance of a metropolitan convenience. The hospital for natives at Kotze- 3 "LOST” VESSEL the Bethel Hospital is to be built | was viewed especially. The nursing | service of the Office of Indian Af- fairs has been extended to include these areas during the present year and a field nurse had covered the jarea from Anvik and Shagluk to { Hooper Bay. Tanana Hospital and Eklutna Vo- cational School were included in her itinerary. Influenza During the latter portion of her | trip, considerable iliness was en- countered of the epidemic tpye of | mild influenza. For the most part |these cases did not require hos- pitalization. Indian Service hos- pitals generally are filled to ca- pacity and waiting lists for various types of cases exis The demand increased at a rate greater than the increase of facilities. This is not to be inter- preted as indication of increased incidence of illness, but rather as| evidence of the effectiveness of a public health program which has| emphasized prevention of disease | and need of early medical care and | | hospitalization | In many locations, Indian Service Institutions provide the only hos- pital facilities available to natives| or whites and are called in to meet | all sorts of emergency conditions. Programs of immunization and | vaccination as well as tuberculin | testing and chest x-rays have been | carried on by field personnel and in the hospitals. Pneumonia typing | procedures are being established. Close cooperation with the Terri- torial Health Department is main- tained throughout. Medical service for the natives is under the immediate direction of Dr. J. F. Worley. Claude M. Hirst, as General Superintendent, is in charge of the combined services of all departments of the Office" of Indian Affairs in Alaska.
