FIRST OF ARMY NURSES ARRIVE IN TERRITORY Four Are Assmned to Fort Richardson-Looking for Romance The first four Army nurses to be sent to Alaska under Uncle Sam’s | increased defense preparations have | arrived at Fort Richardson from Seattle. First. Lieut. Alta Berninger, who will be chief nurse at the new 250- bed hospital at-the fort. She has | been a member of the Army Nurse | Corps for 19 years and was trans- ferred to Alaska from Denver, The other three, who rank as sec- ond lieutenants, are Viola Schwien of Towa, Vivian Flinn of Minnesota | "and Jane Arbios of California. “It is exciting, all right,” Mis Berninger said. “Up to now ther have been no nurses of military rating in the Alaska bases, and no accommodations for them, either. Hospital corps men have been doing nurses’ duty.” Explaining that they are perforce ‘bachelors” as members of the Nurse | Corps, the four said: “But we're not going to squelch any chances of romance. Just lots of Army nurses marry officers. One girl who was to go with us had to refuse, but she was going to marry a Second Lieutenant. And then of course there are always gold miners in Alaska!"” e — ALASKA CRUISE OF K. OF .

Ferguson | announced today. The rate of byilding under the { FHA program is now approximately | 800 homes a day. In the week ended April 12, the number of homes started under the FHA program was the highest on record, with 4,433 | started under Title IT'and 271 under | Title I. This compares wif the previous peak reached in the week ended May 11, 1940, at 4,125 homes under Title II and 252 under Title 1. The number started in the period April 19 also surpassed the 1940 high. The number of homes started this year is more than 20 percent in excess of the number built in the | same period of 1940, the Admin- !istmbor said. Gains in the volume | of homes being started in many el | defense areas rarige up to 50 per- cent and even 100 percent. The record breaking activity in home construction under the FHA | program shows the willingness and ability of private indust~v ‘a help meet the need for housing in the defense emergency, Ferguson said.
