Service Man
Of The Week
TRACY D. VERNON
Sp/5 Tracy D. Vernon
R.A. 53337857
Bassen Hospital, Box 341
APO Seattle, Washington
Tracy Vernon is serving In
the U.S. Armed Forces in Alas
ka. He was inducted into the
service In August 1961, and did
his basic training In Ft. Jack
son, S. C. F rom there he went
to Ft. Gordon, Georgia for a
short stay, then to Ft. Carson,
Colorado, where he was trained
in the medical department for
hospital work. When his term of
service was over Tracy re
enlisted and served at Ft. Bragg
until November 1965. After a
leave of one month he reported
for duty at. Fort Wainwrlght,
Alaska and has been there since
then.
At Ft. Wainwright, Tracy's
work is with the medical de
tachment in Bassen Army Hos
pital. This is located on the
outskirts of Fairbanks, Alas
ka and is the largest hospital
in the interior of Alaska, with
190 beds and can be expanded
to 310 beds. This hospital was
dedicated in 1963 in memory
of Captain John W. Bassen who
was killed in action on Onu Is
land ofthe Aleutian chain in
1943
Tracy Vernon is an amateur
photographer with much ability
to select subject matter and
shooting angles with skill and
artistic merit. He has sent
? ?? ?
many pictures, taken by hlm
self, that five his family know
ledge of the unusual features of
his location. Pictures from
planes show the Fort against
a background of snow, moun
tains and trees, and the huge
hospital with its winter blanket
as well as the greenery and
flowers of summertime. There
are graphic scenes of the moun
tains with their fir trees, of
cloud formations over moun
tains and water, of the sun
shining late at night bi a narrow
slit between cloud and water,
and also pictures of his own
room in the barracks decorated
for Christmas with a tiny tree
with bulbs beside the picture
of his wife on the desk at the
foot of his bed. Your main im
pression from these pictures
b of what he takes from the
hospital roof, mountains, snow,
trees, and water.
The behavior of natural
events is of Interest in Alaska.
Tracy tells hb family that the
temperature varies widely from
summer to winter. It can get
as hot as 85 degrees or above
in summer and as cold as 30
degrees below zero in the win
ter. Some of hb days are as
short as only four hours of day
light in the winter and as long
as eighteen hours or more of
dayllgnt in summer. It was hard
to train himself, even with
drawn shades, to sleep with the
sun shining brightly during
his "night's" rest.
Recreation on off-hours Is
different too. Things have to be
found to do that he didn't ex
perience at home in Eastern
Carolina. One form of enter
tainment Is the custom at the
base to raffle tickets on which
the men trv to guess the exact
time that the Ice first breaks
on the river In summer. The
lucky guess wins the pot.
Tracy was married on No
vember 17th, 1955 to Joanna

While Roof
Keeps Cool
Much of the excessive heat
that Invades a house during hot
weather enters through the
roof, especially If the attic is
not properly Insulated or ven
tilated. But the roof can also
je used to help keep your house
:ooler on uncomfortably warm
lays.
When rerooflng, or choosing
* roof for your new home, re
member that white or light
colored asphalt shingles reflect
rather than absorb the sun's
heat. When heat is thrown off,
or reflected, less of it gets
through the roof, and the whole
house stays cooler.
The advantage of heat reflec
tion has helped make white
shingles the most popular type
of asphalt roofing. White shin
gles represent more than SO
percent of total asphalt shingle
sales, with pastel blends run
ning second.
