Ickes also announced that he had| asked permission to appear before the jury, now sitting, and said that he knew nothing about the letter and doubted if he could shed much light on it but stated that “I do not relish the bandying about of my name.” The names of Briggs and Ickes was brought into a complicated affair yesterday by Senator William Langer of North Dakota, who read to the Senate a series of letters which were said to have been writ- ten by Briggs to C. Nelson Sparks, author of the book “One Man, Wen- | dell Willkie.” Langer interpreted the correspon- dence to mean that Briggs had furnished Sparks with the letter which purported to have been sign- ed by Harry Hopkins in which it was predicted that Willkie would be the Republican choice again and promised “good cooperation.” Hopkins has denounced that letter as a forgery. e i ATTENTION ODD FELLOWS | Regular meeting of Odd Fellows Lodge will be held Tuesday, Jan- uary 18 at which time will be held Installation of officers to be fol- lowed by refreshments.

Shortage of Nurses A great shortage of Public Health nurses exists, Miss Johnson said.| Whereas one such nurse was for- merly provided for a population of 1,500 to 2,000, the war time short- |age means that one nurse serves 6,000 in many cases. Juneau will for the present have one Public Health nurse fu (the Channel area instead of two and Miss Johnson listed the services which must necessarily be curtailed. Eight pertinent questions |in that connection were mentioned as having had considerations and three suggestions for . one-nurse service were made as follows: Close co-operation with school nurse and with Department of Public Welfare jand utilization of volunteer help, | especially secretaiial help. Juneau will continue to be the demonstra- tion center for orientation of Public Health nur: who are being sent elsewhere in the Territory and it is hoped that each one can be kept |here from on to two inonths, Miss |Johnson concluded. The matter of a better meeting night than the second Monday of [the month was briefly discussed at the business meeting, presided over by Capt. T. J. Dyck, and the sug- |gestion was made that the Health Council meet later in the month in order to avoid meeting dates of other organizations. No decision was reached at this time.
