The woman had been caring for her mother, who had| scarlet fever, although the doctor| had not yet made a diagnosis. { Tests Made | Following Dr. Hays' talk, cultures of the men’s hands were taken| both before and ;immediately after!| they had washed them, by Miss Zora Dragich, director of the Publi These will be incubated for 24 hours at blood temperature (37.5 C.) nd studied tomorrow.

This money loss is equivalent, he stated, to the total cost of 4 battle- ships, 4,000 fighter panes, 16,000 light guns.

Indicating that the three modes of disease transference are from man to man; indirect, through food, water, soil, air; and through an intermediate host, animals and insects; Mr. Green went on to enu-, merate the principal offenders of | the higher animals. Principal offender as well as chief food-provider, is the cow, who! may transfer septic sore throat,' bovine tuberculosis, undulant fever, foot and mouth disease, actinomy- cosis and anthrax; while the rat—| no good to anybody—may be re-| sponsible for food infection by mechanical means, the dread Bu- bonic plague, infectious jaundice or typhus fever, the type common in the New World. Sheep, goats, pigs, horses, rabbits; and other rodents are also poten-! while among insects, mosquitoes, flies, ticks, lice and fleas are among the principal disease carriers, i “Malaria, yellow fever, African; sleeping sickness, typhoid, cholera,| dysentery, spotted fever, typhus and plague are among the disesses spread by insects,” he said. | Lab Display Of decided interest is the care-| fully arranged and labeled Iabor-“ atory exhibit placed on display for | the students by Miss Dragich and; her assistant, Richard Peter, Pfc, which includes samples of labora-; tory equipment and agents used in testing, as well as specimen ex- hibits of various types. ) The exhibit will remain in place| tomorrow also, Miss Dragich said,! and will be studied at length b, the sanitarians.

GRUENING | The Governor has given approval |to three more measures, the Legis-| lature was informed today, includ- ‘ing Rep. Frank H. Whaley’s Model {Airport Zoning Act. The Act, designed to reduce haz- ards of flying in Alaska, directs the |Highway Engineer to enforce air- ‘port zoning regulations limjting the height of structures and objects of natural growth around airports, and also authorizes the acquisition proceedings of air rights and other interests in land around airports. The Act applies to water landing areas as well as to landing fields. Permits must be received by persons wishing to build near airports be- fore they may proceed. Appesals to all decisions are granted under the Act. The Civil Aeronautics Authority has long been advocating such re- gulations in the interests of pro- moting safety in air traffic. The Governor signed House Bill No. 33, by Rep. John J. O'Shea, & bill relieving the Territory of fu- ture obligations through Federal flood control and harbor projects. Also approved was House Joint Memorial No. 3, by Rep Tolbert | Scott, urging that the War Pro- duction Board relax its mine shut- down order in Alaska to allow old- er men to work small mines without using vital materials. e — MRS.

Ol- son, no person shall engage in the canning of salmon for commercial purposes in the Territory of Alaska unless specifically authorized by or- der of the Officer of Fishery Co- ordination. According to Mr. Olson, “The or- der follows the recommendations of representatives of labor and management of practically the en- tire salmon canning industry in Alaska to pool operating facilities. The critical shortage of material, manpower and shipping space available for the production of an adequate supply of canned sal- mon has made such a program of industry concentration imperative.” ‘The requirements of the order specify that all agreements entered into between persons for the use in common of plants, equipment and other facilities must be. ap- proved by the Office of Fishery Coordination, and that office shall bave the right to djsapprove if the terms are deemed not in the public interest. Persons violating any of the provisions of the order may be prohibited from receiving materials subject to allocation and may be prosecuted under the War Powers Act, the order states. A complete list of plants which are permitted to operate in the various districts of Alaska in 1943 is on file at the Fisheries Office.
