CHILD HEALTH CONFERENCES ARE SCHEDULED Parenls Urged to Bring Pre-School Children to Clinic Here Parents who have children who will be entering school in kindcr- sarten or primary grades in Ju- neau and Douglas schools are again urged to take advantage of the summer individual health inspection conferences. These conferences arc being held at the Juneau Health Center in Room 108, Territorial Building, on Monday, ‘Wednesday and PFriday afternoons, from 1 to 4 p.m., and are in charge of Miss Magnhild Oygard Public Health Nurse, The object of these summer con- ferences is to complete the health inspection by the nurse and the physical examination by the fam- ily physician as early in the sum- mer as possible, so that any de- fects discovered in the children may be corrected before the opening ol school in the fall. In addition to this, necessary immunizations against smallpox and diphtheria may be completed at a time when they will not interfere with school routine, Parents Come Too Parents are .requested to get in touch with Miss Oygard for ap- pointments by telephoning 218, or oy contacting her at the Juneau Health Center. It is hoped that at least one parent will be pres- ent, and where parents have chi. dren in several grades in school, they will be permitted to bring all )f them in, in order to avoid the necessity for more than one trip (o the conferences, As there are only four more scheduled conference dates for kindergarten and primary grade school children, parents should act immediately. During the months of July and August, school children who will oe entering school in the upper srades will be requested to come .n for their health inspections, ani a schedule for these conferences dill be announced at a later date. Health inspection conference; for high school stydents will not be in- stituted until the opening of school .n September. ANDREWS SAYS ALASKA NEEDS MORE DEFENSE Declares Russian Expan- sion Is Bigger Threat than We Think Russian expansion in a military sense is no joke in the opinion of 3. L. Andrews, author of the Story of Alaska, and prominent free lancer of Alaskan material. “We have many things the Rus- ians or the Japanese would like to rave in Alaska,” Andrews declared. ‘Why wouldn't they want to take us.” As to the threat of Russian forti- fications on Big Diomede in Bering jtrait, Andrews, who spent several sears in that section many years 1go, is convinced that the United Statess hould take steps to ensure he safety of the Territory. “Bering Sea in the hands of an enemy would be a prize to them,” Andrews said. “They would take our tin, our coal, our oil, our sal- mon, codfish and crab, and our fur seal. Furthermore, they would be able to establish a hard-to-dislodge oase of operations pointing to the main United States.” It is Andrews' opinion that the Nome area should be fortified and he Aleutian chain, to a much larg- er‘exent than has been heretofore contemplated.
