PAGE EIGHT DR. DAWES ENDS ACTIVE CAREER; RETIRING TODAY. Well-loved Juneau Physi-| cian Plans Just to Fish, Boat and Loaf Today marked beginning of official retiremen for one of Juneau’s best known and loved phy- | sfelans and surgeons, as Dr. L. P.f Dawes began packing his books and | getting his office ready for his suc-} CessoT. Dr. Dawes he who was 70 years old on April 1, was retired from nhv; United States Public Health Ser-| vice on account of his age, and \\l“‘\ receive a pension from that De-| partment He is also retiring from private practice and plans now just to go fishing, boating, or just loaf around and take life easy Dr. Joseph O. Rude, who has been associated with Dr. Dawes for the| past several years, will succeed him | as Senior Surgeon with the U.S-‘ PHS. Dr. Dawes came to Juneau in 1915, | from Wrangell, where for five years Qe had combined his medical pra tice with running a drug store, which | he says, was not too successful an idea. He married Miss Effie Lenore| Buzard, from Missouri, in Wrangell just before coming to Juneau Buys General Hospital About 1920, Dr. Dawes bought the “General Hospital” which was at that time being operated by Dr. Wm. | Pallister in the building now known as the Home Boarding House. He continued operating the hdspital for | about thtee years, when he closed it and went to St. Ann’s Hospital as Senior Surgeon Dr. Dawes has always taken a| very active interest in fishing, hunt- 1 ing, boating and photography. Al- ways on the alert to keep abreast of things, he took up aviation and learned to fly at the age of 63, an accomplishment of which he is Justifiably proud. Has Mining Interests i Also interested in mining, he ex- pects to be able to devote more time now to mining claims in which he has been interesfed for many years. Dr. Do aid he did not expect to g0 in for any more boats, such as the Prince of Wales, which he had| owned before the war started and, which was taken over by first the Coast Guard, later by the Navy. The Prince of Wales, it will be remem- bered, burned and sank about a year ago out near Excursion Inlet. ! A fitting climax to his career, Dr. Dawes thinks, came to him just yes-| terday in the form of a letter from| a patient, Mrs. Mae Ragan, whom | he had cared for 20 years ago. | Check Is Climax ! Mrs. Ragan enclosed a check for | the amount she had owed Dr. Dawes e o o 0 o 0 0 0 WEATHER REPORT (U.'S.
